Actually, I believe you got the wrong message from the op...the message that I got is that Satan lied from the beginning and he continues to lie! It was not about the type of death that Satan was speaking of....
What has that got to do with God`s restoration? One could make the case then that the message was those who believe in eternal torture are believing satan`s lie! Because a lot of people believe God torturing the majority of humans forever is a LIE!

There were actually two types of death spoken of in the Genesis account, The first was spiritual death, the second physical death. Those who are consistantly disobedient will die the spiritual death, all of mankind dies the physical death, (with very few exceptions.....plus those who will be taken up at the second coming of Christ.).
That verse didn`t say anything at all about CONSISTANTLY DISOBEDIANT. It said the DAY you eat, you SHALL SURELY DIE. That verse didn`t say anything at all about the second coming either. The op somehow(though in vain) tried to link satan saying, you shall not die with disproving that God is capable of restoring his creation.

I suspect Satan knew about the spiritual death, and that was the purpose of his deceit. He has never wanted anyone to be obedient to God!
I hate to say it, but he is very successful with his deceit, and many are chosing to believe him.
Well, ShanaB, our God is the Saviour of all mankind, and those who are His "especially", gladly proclaim it in their worship of Him who declares He will be all in all!
Says something about their spirt IMO. They want to believe they belong to a special club. It`s all about them.
Luke 9:51-56 (New American Standard Bible)
51When the days were approaching for His ascension, He was determined to go to Jerusalem; 52and He sent messengers on ahead of Him, and they went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him. 53But they did not receive Him, because He was traveling toward Jerusalem. 54When His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?" 55But He turned and rebuked them, [and said, "You do not know what kind of spirit you are of; 56 for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them."] And they went on to another village.

Psalm 44:4-8
You are (our) my King, O God; command victories for Jacob. Through You we will push down our enemies; through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us. (We) I will not trust in (our) my bow, nor shall (our) my sword to save (us) me. But you have saved (us) me from our enemies, and put to shame those who hate us. In God we boast all day long, and praise Your name forever.

All mankind dies spiritual death as well. Unless you think being dead in tresspasses and sins is yet a third kind of death neither spiritual nor physical.
