I'm reading through Vos's Biblical Theology right now, and I'm wondering about his view that Adam and Eve never ate from the Tree of Life before the fall. To me the scriptures are not really clear on the issue; they were able to, but if they did I can't really tell. Calvin, from my brief searching seems to be opposed to Vos's view here when he says; "The promise, which gave him hope of eternal life as long as he should eat of the tree of life, and, on the other hand, the fearful denunciation of death the moment he should taste of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, were meant to prove and exercise his faith." BK 2 Ch1 P4.
