This discussion seems to be off base, if mortality means to be subject to death and death is not a cessation of life, but rather separation from God, then how can mortality have any thing to do with the endurance of ones existence.
The Tree of Life typifies the cross. Christ as the “first fruit” is consumed from the Tree of Life. The Cross is in Eden and the Cross is in Eden restored, because Grace is eternal.
If mortality means to be subject to death or susceptible to death then they were created subject to death (separation from God) (separation from eternal life) even before they partook of the Tree of Knowledge. They were created susceptible to separation from God.
Mortality is not to be applied to the constraints carnality and temporality.
Eternal life is to be one with the Father through the Son's work of salvation and the eternal living presence of the Holy Spirit in our life.
It seems this discussion assumes death is a cessation of life. This is not Biblical!
Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe
1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Revelation 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
