Very True, Reba...
Eve ignored God´s warn that they would die if they ate fruit from a certain tree. The children of Adam & Eve were all born after God put their parents out of the garden of Eden. This means that the children would also have to grow old and die.
If only Adam & Eve had obeyed God, life would have been happy for them & their children. They could live forever in happiness on earth. No one would have had to grow old, get sick and die. Children, Great children, Great, great.... of Eve & Adam died aged between 100 and 175 until after Jesus died for our sins, our life goes shorter...
It´s interesting, I read the bible story today.
How they know which foods are healthy... (I copied from my bible)
4 boys in Babylon
King Nebuchadnezzar takes all the best educated Israelities away to Babylon. One is Daniel, & the other 3 Babylonians call Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego.
After 3 years of training he will choose only the smartest ones to help him to solve problems. The king wants the boys to be strong & healthy while they are being trained. So he gives orders that his servants should give all of them the same rich food & wine that he & his family receive.
Do you know what Daniel is saying to Nebuchadnezzar´s chief servant Ashpenaz? Daniel telling him that he doesn´t want to eat the rich things from the king´s table. But Ashpenaz is worried. "The king has decided what you are to eat & drink", he says. And if you don´t look as healthy as the other young men, he may kill me."
So Daniel goes to the guardian that Ashpenaz has put in charge of him & his 3 friends. "Please put us to the test for 10 days", he says. "Give us some vegetables to eat & water to drink. Then compare us with the other young men who are eating the king´s food, & see who looks better."
The guardian agrees to do this. And when the 10 days are over, Daniel & his 3 friends look healthier than all the other young men. So the guardian lets them continue to eat vegetables instead of what the king provides.
At the end of 3 years all the young men are taken to Nebuchadnezzar. After talking to them all, the king finds Daniel & his 3 friends to be the smartest ones. So he keeps them to help him in the palace. And whenever the king asks Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego questions or gives them hard problems, they know 10 times as much asany of his priests or wise men. Daniel 1:1-21
Interesting isnt it?
