You just answered that question.

Because they were now sinful and, as such, sinful people cannot enter the Garden. They were banished because they sinned against God. They were separated from Him, and as such, could not enter His kingdom on Earth, which was indeed what the Garden of Eden was.

And Jesus had to die for our transgressions because *he was the only one who could*. Plain and simple, the Son of God was the only one who could possibly die for our sins. When He died for us, He gave us hope for freedom, redemption, and forgiveness.

And now, since we should have ended this a few posts ago, can we please stop discussing this at the moment? Debates are fun, but not for four hours on end, nearing five. That is just way too much for me. If we could wait until tomorrow, or perhaps in a few days, to contine this, it would be much appreciated.
