Where in the Bible does it say that man was created perfect, and able to live forever?

They ate from the wrong tree first...if you read the results and the penalty for eating from the wrong tree..see what happenned.
God put a huge angel with a huge sword at the garden entrance..WHY??
So they would NOT be able to get to the tree of life and eat from it and LIVE FOREVER.
So it would appear..that they had to eat from the tree of LIFE to be able to live forever..which they didnt.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16309260 Then they were not created perfect, nor created to live forever, if they needed an outsource. Your own citation of the scripture proves this. If they were created perfect and lived forever at the outset of creation, there would be no need to interject that into the Bible, nor the need for an extraneous source that provided enternal life. EXACTLY! Thats the point I was making. You also realize that the tree was an allegory? So a simple tree has the power to take and give life? Doesn't sound like any tree I know of. Also, 'god' said they would die in the day they ate from it, though Adam lived another 900+ years... Maybe God was referring to their "DEATH" as such in the sense that..IF they ate the fruit..they could NO LONGER eat from the tree of life..and thus..from that DAY..they would be dying...which they were. From a spiritual point of view..they did die that day..they were booted out of the garden..kept away from the LIFE source..and 900 years later their bodies finally caught up with what had happenned to their spirits that day. They were..technically speaking..dead..or DOOMED..from the moment they ate that fruit.
