Gen 2:17: Adam died the same day!

I will discuss a verse skeptics use in an attempt to discredit God. 

In Genesis 2:17 God states: "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." (KJV)  He meant what he said literally, folks try to twist the words, but you must read the entire book to understand. 

"For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night." Psalm 90:4

"But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."
2 Peter 3:8

Adam died the same day he ate of the fruit.  He only lived 930 years, seventy years short of a day, the same day he was created.  Neither Adam, nor anyone after him lived for a day according to God's clock.

One day to God is one thousand years to man.  Be not ignorant.
