So you think it was God's will that A & E eat of the tree of knowledge and fall. Ok.

You seem to want to ignore the fact the serpent was lying when he said "you will not surely die" and that having knowledge of good and evil does not equal having intimate knowledge of all things. As I have said repeatedly, you want to read the whole chapter mate...
You have sinned and have not died.
Everyone sins and everyone dies, that's life.
As to A & E, did they just die or Did God murder
Let's just stop right there so I can remind you, once again, that it is God who creates life and causes death. Nothing would exist without Him. What He has made, He can also destroy. You can't accuse The God of murderdeath is part of the natural order.
then by locking away what would have kept them alive? The tree of life.
You do realise that Adam and Eve could eat from any tree, the only one they were told not to go near was the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Eternal life was taken away after their transgression, but Who was it that caused their hearts to beat for every second they were alive? This question exposes your ignorance.
J W's who prevented their children from having blood transfusions and thus causing the death of their children were charged with murder.
I don't think you understand...

They are incomparable.
Do you have a double moral standard where you forgive God for doing what you would condemn a person for doing?

God is God, He does as He wills. Whether I approve or can forgive Him for all the evil and suffering that exists is irrelevant, it is what it is. I'm still grateful for whatever good things exist, or at least I try to be.
