Bible, Genesis 2:16-17 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you[a] shall surely die.”

Bible, Genesis 5:3-5 And Adam lived one hundred and thirty years, and begot a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. 4 After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters. 5 So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.

Detractor:"Hey, when Adam lived 800 years after he eats the prohibited fruit, then he's not died at the same day, so the Bible contradicts themself!"

Bible, Psalm 90:1-4 Lord, You have been our [a]dwelling place in all generations. 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You [b]had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. 3 You turn man to destruction, And say, “Return, O children of men.”4 For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night.

CONCLUSION:800 years = fewer as "1 day" (1000 years) in God's sight, so in God's sight (not the humanly one) Adam died at the same day when he eats the prohibited fruit!

Detractor:"Oh, I see..."

CONCLUSION2:The Bible interprets themself anytime, completely without "limited humanly wisdom", that is why it's anytime God's merit when we understand anything thanks to our relationship to the Lord.😊
