    "Excellent analysis, my dear @gavvet. However, I would like to raise something: @Joeyarnoldvn says: "Agreed. We were immortal." But, if they were immortal and could not die ... Why did they have to eat what was produced in the garden? If a person does not feed, in fact, he will die in a few days. If the first couple in the garden needed to eat, then it seems that they were not immortal and I quote their own words when he said "We are what we eat". Could it be possible for them to had a very, very long lifetime? Maybe 1000 years? And it seems that it was necessary that before their time of life on this earth was ended, it was necessary to introduce (through them) the sin in the world to give way to the whole plan that was prepared before the foundation of the world. Something curious I found in the words of the apostle Paul when he said in the letter to the Romans chapter 7: 9 "And without the law I lived at one time: but the commandment came, and sin revived, and I died." It seems that this writing refers to Adam, since Paul, never lived without law. Then, the "sin" with the implementation of that law "YOU WON'T EAT" revived within him something that was asleep, creating then the power to choose between being as gods or staying spiritually united with his Creator. My Upvote for this post."
    I hope this help you, @outhori5ed.

    Thanks alot @oneray. I greatly appreciate you interpreting this. The law is what revealed sin and the knowledge of a 'law' is an evidence that your WILL can either keep it or break it. Adam and Eve had their will to whatever choice they wanted.
    If the instruction was not given, they wouldn't have broken it. Agreed? Let me briefly show you how the law influence your WILL. Obey the command below.

      Jajaja. It is a very good example. Sorry for my English. I'm from Venezuela. I think that they had one choice, but it was necesary to insert the sin in the world through Adam and Eve. Thanks for your upvote and your comment. I apreciate it a lot.
