What if Eve at from Tree of Life?

If Eve at from the Tree of Life after eating from the Tree of Knowledge, what would've happened? Because God threw them out of the garden to prevent that possibility.

Also: what if Adam refused to to the apple? What would've happened to Eve? Would she have gone the way of Lilith?

I think, from Jewish Lore, eating the fruit of the Tree of Life would render one immortal.

Why couldn't he see Satan f'ing around in Eden and kick his ass to the curb, before he caused trouble?

These are excellent questions and ones which I have pondered over myself.

But to correct a technical flaw in your OP if I may; A&E were not thrown out of the garden to prevent them eating from the tree of life, they were exiled due to their sin. The tree of life was, as still is, protected by a flaming cherub holding a sword which pointed in every direction (words to that effect) so both were unable to eat of it irrespective wether they remained or not.

The more interesting question for me, is what would have happened to Eve had Adam refused the fruit. It’s impossible to know but I suspect she would have been exiled and died a lonely death. I think Adam knew this and that’s why he ate it. He knew and he chose his woman over his God. This is consistent with Jesus in the NT:

Luke 14:26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate* father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.”
(*hyperbolic version of prefer)

It is my belief that everything in the Bible, whether simile, metaphor or parable, is a typification of Jehovah/Yahweh reconciling himself to man(kind). Everything; even Adam eating Eve’s sin which saved his wife, his bride. And Adam was forsaken for it. Later of course Christ mirrored this act (but through righteous obedience) at Calvary by taking on the sin of his bride and being as he said himself “forsaken”.

NB the garden is of course symbolic or perhaps a mix of symbolism and actuality of those early events. This includes the trees; the tree of life appears again as a symbol of Christ in the book of (The) Revelation (of Jesus Christ) where it is described as:

Revelation 22:1-2
“Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.”

Again symbolic of Christ’s healing and salvation. Also the 12 crops are the 12 tribes of Israel.

The sword held by the Cherub is symbolic of the sword of the spirit, which is the word of god, denoting that the only way to life is via the word of god and the word is Christ.

“In the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god”.

Edit - additionally the “lonely death” of Eve which I described, is in my opinion “hell” i.e. complete and permanent exile and separation from her husband; or in mankind’s case, from God/Christ. So the word became flesh and dwelt among us, the exact representation of his (God’s) being. The invisible God made visible. (From Colossians).

Salvation is a love story.

Genesis 3:22-23: And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden

Seems God did not want them to eat from the Tree of Life.

What would God have done if they were immortal?

Why was there a snake in the Garden? And Who put it there?

How can an angel fall? If angels fall, what have we to be ashamed of?

How was man, Adam, made in the image of God NOT knowing good or evil?

The whole story is incoherent.

It‘s Hänsel und Gretl with a bigger witch, that‘s all.

They were banished due to their sin, preventing them from gaining immortality was subsequent of that; but I take your point.

Had they become immortal in that condition, who knows, probably been the same as the angelic host.
