Related to the question on verse 5:
- Why would partaking of the tree of life have meant that Adam could not have had a space for repentance? What is the connection between mortality and an ability to repent?
Not sure but if we take this idea to its conclusion it would seem to suggest that we cannot repent once we have resurrected. This is consistent with the idea that there is a final judgment at that point--since the possibility of further repentance would suggest that any judgment is not final.
I wonder if the answer to the question has something to do with being subject to our own will (see verse 7)--though then this raises the question of why you can't be subject to your own will and be immortal, so I'm not sure that answer gets us anywhere. --Matthew Faulconer 07:29, 4 February 2007 (CET)
