Now Zeezrom, seeing that thou hast been taken in thy lying and craftiness,

And behold I say unto you all

that this was a snare of the adversary,

if it had been possible for Adam

making God a liar,

for he said:

If thou eat thou shalt surely die.

Alma 12:26

And now behold, if it were possible

that our first parents could have gone forth and partaken of the tree of life

having no preparatory state;

and the word of God would have been void,

taking none effect.

And now, my brethren, behold I say unto you, that

if ye will harden your hearts

ye shall not enter into the rest of the Lord;

that he sendeth down his wrath upon you as in the first provocation,

yea, according to his word in the last provocation as well as the first,

to the everlasting destruction of your souls;

therefore, according to his word, unto the last death, as well as the first.
