So the question is where did death begin from? Well, the book of Genesis 2:16-17 says And the LORD God commanded the , saying, Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you shall eat of it you will surely die This is the Bibles first mention of death. Adam and Eve had known only a world of life, and must have looked upon death ad a mystery, because they had never seen it. But here was Gods warning if man disobeyed death. Genesis 3:3-4, But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, You shalt not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die. Then serpent(snake , devil and Satan) said to the woman, YOU WILL NOT SURELY DIE Here was the first lie- you shall not surely die. EVE had the choice of believing God or the serpent. God said death would come through disobedience, and the devil speaking through the serpent said there would be no death. Romans 5:12 says Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus Death spread to alk men, because all sinned Adam and Eve experienced death, but sinful tendencies were passed onto the whole race, so that death became the lot of all men.
