Biblical Answer

Death entered the world due to Adam's sin. The Bible states that Adam disobeyed God's command not to eat from the tree of knowledge, and as a result, he was separated from God, experiencing spiritual death (Genesis 3:19). This spiritual death is a separation from God and is represented in part by the expulsion from the Garden. Physical death, or the death of the body, is a consequence of spiritual death. The Bible teaches that death would affect all people, not just Adam, because of the sin that entered the world through him.

The Bible does not say that all death began at the Fall, but rather that death entered the world because of Adam's sin. This means that death was not always present in the world. The Bible teaches that God created humans to live forever, but due to Adam's sin, death became a reality. This is evident in the fact that Adam was given the opportunity to eat from the tree of life, which would have allowed him to live forever (Genesis 3:22). However, after Adam's sin, he and his descendants were cast out of the Garden and were no longer able to eat from the tree of life.

The consequence of Adam's sin was that death entered the world, not just for humans, but for all living creatures. The Bible teaches that death would affect all people, not just Adam, because of the sin that entered the world through him. This is evident in the fact that God said to Adam, "For dust you are and to dust you will return" (Genesis 3:19). This statement implies that death is a natural consequence of sin, and that all humans will experience death because of Adam's disobedience. The Bible teaches that death is a result of sin, and that it is a separation from God. Through Jesus Christ, however, death is defeated, and those who put their faith in Him can experience eternal life. (John 3:16)
