You really think that answers it? For starters, you're applying human standards to god's behaviour, which you've said elsewhere is not legitimate, he's beyond all that.
You forgot to admit that you would break some of our societies laws if you were trying to retrieve a child of yours that was being stolen. I would about 1/8000 sec after the first move to take one of them.
It isn't the same as far as death is concerned, if we kill somebody we cannot reverse that action. If we send a child to their room for an hour as a punishment we can open the door at the end of the hour. We can open and close a door to a room, God can open the door to the grave. The morality is exactly the same, know the rules, break the rules pay the penality. Human standards are formed in Heaven, way back before Adam drew breath mankind was made to resemble something that already existed. When it was said let 'us' make man in our image and likeness it was stating two separate things. Image is our appearance bodily and likeness is the relationships we establish based on our moralities. Even in Heaven when the word 'us' is used there is relationship established, just like with mankind. God is the higher authority, when He speaks the words that He has thought about (in full) the other part of 'us' goes and makes those words become reality. In Genesis the theme was existence. We have to go from the start of the 7th day of creation until the books are closed at Judgment Day, that journey was determined by the creation of those two trees. Everything that was ever to exist had to be there by the end of the 6th day. Nothing new can ever be created, what has been created can be restored if a living remnant can be found. Adam and Eve, Noah and the other 7, and the 144,000 of Revelation are all examples of population growth from a living remnant. Conversely the giants that were killed by the flood (and after) can never be brought back to life because there is no remnant to start with.
With the need to have both of those trees existing before creation was finished came the possibility that somebody would eat from it at sometime since they were meant to become parents and at that time they access eternal life. If mankind was never meant to eat from the tree of knowledge then there would have been no purpose for the existence of a tree that is opposite in nature. The path not taken would have seen Adam and Eve have children, those children would have children, etc, until we arrive at about the same time that the Bible calls Christ's return. If death means more than 3 days without breath then that many days before the return everybody would eat from the tree of knowledge and fall asleep or Christ would return and everybody would eat from that tree but before they died Christ would have given them access to the tree of life. Either way, the earth getting old and being consumed by fire would still happen, as would the Great White Throne (death and hell would be empty had there been no sin). Satan's meddling changed the path but not the timing or the destination.
Second, he made the way to pay for the sin only 2000 years ago, humanity's been around for 100 times that long (not that I expect you to believe that), it's way past too late for most of the people who've ever lived.
There has been an alter since Noah's time. The sin of Adam and Eve seems to trump any sin we can do while drawing breath. What law existed pre-flood that determined that God could call what men were doing evil and wickedness was the norm? If fallen angels were on earth then the earth would be under the laws that they were for them.
Satan broke two laws back then, he lied and he murdered. Being born into a sinful world pretty much means we will be sinners by the time we die. Death covers the original sin, I'm quite sure death also covers the sins that an individual commits in their lifetime. Grace is for those who are alive at His coming. God arranged Jesus to be priest to everybody including Adam and Eve, that was with salvation in mind not punishment. Mankind is already under punishment from God, we have been since God closed the Garden. He doesn't come around and increase the punishment, when He comes around it means the punishment time is over.
Third, this is about god's sins, not man's. If even god can sin, he has no business punishing us for doing it, particularly since according to the standard view of his powers and knowledge he set things up from the beginning knowing perfectly well what'd happen.
Are you saying that God doesn't have the right to set conditions on how our relationship works? If we listen we could have had eternal life in a Garden, if we don't listen we have eternal life taken away and we live outside of the Garden. Israel was given the same option, obey some rules and God will make sure their Nation is not overthrown, don't obey and protection from invasion is withdrawn. The Church is given the same condition, if you want to get the grace that comes with calling Christ Lord, but are not willing to follow the moral rules then grace is taken away. Just what do you find immoral in the above examples.
Life and salvation are also His fault, having two paths in place is not a fault when they have the same starting and ending points.
And what you don't seem to get is that all the illogic and inconsistencies of religious belief, and all the elaborate rationalizations and verbal gymnastics you have to go through to try to make consistent sense of all this stuff, simply disappear if you start from the easily defensible premise that this god is a fiction.
True, those things do make it impossible to understand. Just what would be the purpose of taking a dozen verses and doing what you mention and expect anybody to buy it? The 12 verses that start Eze:37 are a case in point. Without trying to figure out who is who and when this takes place by the time you finish reading you have the whole message, resurrection from the grave will follow a certain pattern. That's it, the whole message those 12 verses are meant to convey. Our 'teachers' can and do write a whole set of books on what they can twist those same verses to mean. That doesn't make the Bible in error, it puts the error on our side, over-analyzing is a fault we have in more than one area. God has made the Bible easy to understand if you read it.
When we write we make a rough draft, a rough copy and a good copy. With God the rough draft is the finished copy. Some of it (a lot actually) remains in point form, understand something is easiest when it is in point form. Following His rules all He has to do is say what is going to happen before it happens, that we actually understand it before it happens all is not a requirement, prophecy can be revealed by hindsight also.
