Alma 42:3, 5, 6, 14



Alma 42:3

Now, we see that the man had become as God, knowing good and evil;

and lest he should put forth his hand,

and take also of the tree of life, and eat and live forever,

the Lord God placed cherubim and the flaming sword,

that he should not partake of the fruit —



Alma 42:5

For behold, if Adam had put forth his hand immediately,

and partaken of the tree of life,

he would have lived forever, according to the word of God,

having no space for repentance;

yea, and also the word of God would have been void,

and the great plan of salvation would have been frustrated.



Alma 42:6

But behold, it was appointed unto man to die —

therefore, as they were cut off from the tree of life

they should be cut off from the face of the earth —

and man became lost forever,

yea, they became fallen man.



Alma 42:14

And thus we see that all mankind were fallen,

and they were in the grasp of justice;

yea, the justice of God, which consigned them forever

to be cut off from his presence.
