Re: The 'Gift' of men and the Athrabeth

A good explaination I must say Telchar. But just to make this clear, you are saying that originally men were immortal and that after being seduced by Morgoth, Eru gave them the gift of death to allow them to come to him in the end, instead of remaining in Arda marred. Right? If this is so, not saying it is since there is that lack of textual evidence, then several other questions way back in the recesses of the books forum may be answered.
