Jesus, Paul, James, and Peter all make this abundantly clear.

This is a true story about a power struggle in a part of the country that has been forgotten about by some and never known about by others.

God said, "In the day that ye eat thereof, thou shalt surely die." God was talking to the man he had created and named Adam. Adam lived 930 years after God told him that he would die, and then he died. However, God said, "In the day that ye eat." Anyone reading this will have to say that Adam was alive after he ate the fruit. That understanding brings humanity into direct contrast with their God. This book intends to bring an understanding of the death that God spoke about and how humanity understands that same death.
