If one person sinned later on, would only part of the world be dead in their sins and need a Savior? Other implications?

Wasn't he created to live forever, with death entering the world as a result of his sin?

It doesn't say anywhere that Adam would live forever if he hadn't of sinned.
God told him "on the day you eat it you will die". But, did he die physically? No
He did die spiritually and that is what God is talking about.
Notice the next thing that is said after Adam and Eve have sinned "He must not reach out and take the fruit from the tree of life and eat. Then he would live forever"
He was designed to die like all of the other animals, insects, plants, etc...
If there was no physical death before then he couldn't even have eaten a plant because that would be death.
In order for this teaching to be true there would have had to have been a recreation and redesign of all living things after the fall. For, we see how death is essential for the balance of the rest of life. Look at the seeds, most have to die before they can germinate. Imagine if all of an insects millions of offspring survived. The world would be overrun in a matter of years.
This teaching of no physical death before sin is merely a misunderstanding of the spiritual death that is written about in the Bible.
If you do believe this teaching then you are calling God a liar because he said to Adam that he would die that day, yet he lived over 800 years.

No to overpopulation.
Our personal sin also requires a savior. Adam's fall is repeated daily in our lives.

the world would still not be overpopulated, you know why- if it was not Adam that sinned it would have been you and me. Praise God that He sent His son so that we can live forever- "THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD'.

The world isn't overpopulated (and is far from). We just need to be wiser stewards in the use of the resources of the earth which God gave to us.

The world isn't overpopulated according to the bible. God commanded that we go forth and multiply.

if that were a serious question, I would be forced to ask: what does the popluation have to do with Adams sin?
