Wasn't it the serpent who was actually speaking the truth when it said they wouldn't?

a million. God did no longer lied. you're flawed or lacking the element. 2. Eve touched it and ate it. * Spiritually speaking Eve died that day. * bodily speaking Eve finally died. What God mentioned became fullfilled. He did no longer lied. He never distinctive that they could die (bodily speaking) on the very instant they ate or touched the fruit. He never distinctive that the loss of existence could happen 5 minutes or 5 hours after the shape. He mentioned they are going to die, and that they did. there is no lie. Does a decide who sentences a criminal to loss of existence is telling a lie because of the fact the criminal isn't carried out inmediately? * No. The execution could happen months after the trial, or maybe the execution date could exchange / postponed via appeals or different circumtances. even even with the shown fact that it is not a lie, the criminal is carried out in due time. How is that for a time-honored lesson interior the Bible, that God cheerfully lied to mankind? * As mentioned in the previous, God did no longer lied. And became Eve the international's first scientist? * No Adam became the firt scientist, he began to catalog animals and giving them names. Eve got here 2d. ... achieving a volatile test to make certain if touching the Tree could kill her? * that's no longer technology, it is being silly, irresponsible. Is it any ask your self she then went directly to flavor it, after she found out God ought to have been fibbing correct to the 1st area? * you're implying that actual loss of existence became meant to ocurr inmediately, and that's your blunders. by ability of sinning she died that day, yet actual loss of existence got here later.

God did not lie. They did die. He did not say they would die right away. Before they ate the fruit they could have lived forever because the world was perfect, their bodies were perfect, there was no disease or problems.
The serpent is the liar, as, in this case, are you.

Yes in way they did live on forever through generations, children, otherwise how else did man survive and live on.
Genesis Chapter 3 verse 22
" And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
All not lost. Maybe a blessing in disguise.
Something else to add, verse 21 "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God made coats of skins, and clothed them."
Oh,verse 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in garden, because I was affraid, beccause I was naked; and hid myself."
So, is that why people wear clothes?
Chapter 3, verse 7," And the eys of both of them were opened , and they knew they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves to gether and made themselves aprons."
after they ate the forbidden fruit. And had sex and multiplied.
All thanks to the snake. Maybe we should hail the snake.

They did die, later. God took everlasting life from them. If they had not eaten of the tree they would have lived forever. You need to read the whole story before you call God a liar. The Bible is complex, and admittedly, it can be hard to comprehend, so maybe if you are trying to understand it you should get some Bible Help books.

Seems to me that since Adam and Eve died, God must have been telling them the truth.

You have to understand that they died spiritually. They were placed in the Garden of Eden and were fully whole with God and their souls. When they ate from the Tree of Knowledge, their souls were forever banned from the Garden.
It wasn't until Jesus came that death was destroyed, but yet we still die, right? Jesus wasn't lying though, he meant he destroyed the death of our souls to be banished forever to hell.
It's the same with God in the Garden of Eden.

He didn't lie; they are dead. Physically. He's is talking about a spiritual death. Satan is a MASTER OF SCRIPTURE. When he said that he was speaking partial truth. They died several hundred years later but they died. Their spiritual bodies are still alive, however, because of sin, they face spiritual death and destruction.

Your understanding of death and what it means to God is flawed.
Death in the eyes of God is removal from His presence.
Colossians 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Your questions belie no desire to learn anything; only to stir up trouble. I won't be responding to your "questions" any further.
