Continuation of Part 1
While there are no indications in the texts showing what God meant by “day” or “death,” we have tried to add nuances to the texts to make sense of the whole situation in a way that does not portray God as a bluffer.

Some say the "day" is 1,000 years, while others say it’s a 24-hour day. Some say the "death" was spiritual, while others believe it was a natural death. Some interpret the death as separation from God. However, it is worth noting that none of these nuances can be clearly seen in the text. They are often added by individuals, as the text neither implies nor infers any of these meanings.

How Do We Know What God Meant?
We simply have to continue reading to understand the statement. We must read toward the actual fall to grasp what God meant.

What Did God Say After Adam Ate the Fruit?
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. — Genesis 3:19
God told Adam that he would return to where he came from.

Recall that Adam did not exist until God created him from the ground. To "return to where he was taken from" means to return to nonexistence—by the same ground from which he was made to exist.

Therefore, the death mentioned in the text refers to the second death. Until a man dies the second death, he is not truly dead before God. God was simply telling Adam that he would experience the second death if he ate from the tree.

On Which Day Will He Die?
Adam was in the presence of God (in the garden) when he received the command and when he disobeyed it. After his disobedience, Adam was cast out of the garden—away from the presence of God. Since Adam no longer experienced the "day of the Lord," he could not have died on a day he could not partake in.

Therefore, the "day" in the presence of God must return to earth for Adam to die on that day. This refers to the day when Christ will return in the power of God, and Adam will be subjected to death for introducing sin into the world.

Conclusion
The "death" is the second death, which all sinners must undergo, while the "day" which Adam will die is the day of the Lord.
Thank you for reading.

Nigeria shouldnt/wouldnt recognize the rights of people who are doing something that IS ILLEGAL UNDER NIGERIAN LAW
homosexuality is UNAFRICAN and contrary to Nigerian customs. if you are gay/lesbo and desire to have rights then go to countries where these people are recognized....that certainly aint the case in Nigeria.

remember, you MUST respect the Nigerian law at all time and failure to do so, could get you locked up for yrs!
