So if death came to the world because they ate of the Tree of Knowledge, does that mean they were immortal before that?
[/ QUOTE ]
Whether they were or not the general concensus among orthodox theologians is they would have become immortal and righteous if they had passed the test.

And why was there a Tree of Life or a restriction from eating of it if they were already deathless before original sin? And what would be wrong with them eating the Tree of Life fruit anyway?
[/ QUOTE ]
There was no restriction on the Tree of Life as far as I know. But theologians think if they had eaten of it after sinning they would have become fixed in their sin nature. It would not have solved the need for Christ's sacrifice because they would still be guilty. No one knows for sure about the Tree of Life, so this is just speculation.
