Document Summary
In genesis it would seem no, but in this it is possible. Abdiel is decieved, and he falls but is able to return. Adam and eve know about a story in which someone falls and turns back, so it"s possible that eve"s fall could have been fixed. Though eve"s fall happens instantaneously, when she bites the fruit. Adam kind of slides in to it. It seems like all is lost, but perhaps it wasn"t. When eve eats, it"s stated outright that all is lost. Then as soon as adam eats, the fall is actually complete. this means that though all was lost, it wasn"t beyone regaining it. Now the universe becomes fixed; the sun and the moon become set in their roles, the seasons come. Climate extremes are now there as well. Sin and death build a bridge linking hell and earth. Everything starts solidifying and fixing and freezing in book ten, now that they"ve fallen.
