You Can Live Forever on Earth - WHY DO WE DIE?

Why, then, do we die?  The Bible shows that one of God's spirit creatures, later identified as the rebel Satan the Devil, tried to sabotage God's arrangements in Eden.  How?

Satan induced our first parents, Adam and Eve, to join him in rebellion against God.  (Note: It was Eve who Satan came to first, because he knew she was a pushover and weak, being a woman, and since Adam wanted to keep peace, among other things, he went along with her when he came to where she was; this is the way I saw it and the way the Witnesses did not want to explain it,  so as not to offend anyone.)  When Satan claimed that God was withholding something good from them-the right to determine for themselves what is right and what is wrong-they went along with Satan and turned their backs on God.  The result?  In time, they died, just as Gd had warned.  They lost the prospect of living forever in Paradise on earth.  -Genesis 2:17, 3:1-6; 5:5.

Adam and Eve's rebellion has affected all humans down to this day.  God's Word says:  "Through one man [Adam] sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men." (Romans 5:12) We died because we inherited sin and death from our original parents, not because of some predetermined, unfathomable 'plan' of God.

Note: I guess I analyze too much, and maybe sometimes use too much logic, but, in  my opinion, observing and reading books/the Bible for one,  and people, this is my opinion-that Eve was mostly at fault, after all Satan approached her, and I know that men want to make the woman happy, so he goes along with what she wants or its not going to be a happy marriage. Not always a good thing,  but what could he do, especially where Adam and Eve were concerned.
