Genesis 3How?, I don't see this mentioned anywhere.
except that what ever meaning you come out with must fit perfectly with the rest of the bible, otherwise it's false.
Ezekiel 18:20
Obviously there is hidden meaning here since we all sin but do not die.
Is this death different from death in garden of Eden?
Spiritual death means to be separated from God, so how would you connect 2 cases of deaths to single meaning? (one if garden of Eden and other mentioned in Ezekiel)
What is not mentioned in the text?
knowledge of good and evil is mentioned, knowing truth is mentioned, death is mentioned, everything I claimed so far is mentioned but left to interpretation.
Fruit or apple, does this change anything? #3
The Fall
3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
Revelation 12:9
And the great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
The serpent is already evil, fallen and working to trick Eve.
Cain leaves his people and finds a wife in Nod on an ancient earth that was populated already.
13 Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”
15 But the Lord said to him, “Not so; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. 16 So Cain went out from the Lord’s presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
