Bible Question (short): Is man today left with a simple choice?

Question (full): Man’s Choice:
life and death, blessing and cursing

From Life to Death

Man was created with two natures, as well as, with two choices. By eating of the forbidden fruit (or acting on his faith), he chose to put his faith and trust in himself. His spiritual nature died immediately and therefore, he was left with only his dying physical nature (caterpillar).

Matthew Henry Commentary:
Gen 2:17

From Death to Life

In Jesus Christ, God gives man another chance to put his trust in Him. By choosing Jesus Christ (eating of the body drinking of the blood, or acting on his faith), he may choose to put his faith and trust in God. His spiritual nature is born immediately and therefore, he is left with both a new spiritual nature (butterfly), as well as, his dying physical nature. The spiritual nature (butterfly) is not complete until we are changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye!

Joshua 24:15

Ecclesiastes 12

Deuteronomy 30:19

I have removed the quotes from my previous post. The Matthew Henry commentary quotes were actually summaries for what is found on the web site.

The question is simply:
Isn't man today left with a simple (one of two) choice such as Adam had in the garden?
