Adam and eve caused all the suffering we ever had (unless you blame god, after all he had the power not to punish Adam and Eve with death and separation with god). So for committing original sin, and thus causing god/jesus to have to come to earth as a man and be brutally killed just so we don't go to hell (again though, god had the power not to have to do this, so why did he?), is Adam and Eve therefore in hell? they should be, because they caused all the sins of the world, right?
Or do you think Eve should be sainted, Adam and St.Eve

Dear Sufi,

Some things just work the way they work. Such as, you can't possibly expect 2+2 to equal purple just because you can put it on paper. So it is with the seperation of God and man. Man did something to disobey and seperate himself from God. Now just because he is capable of it doesn't mean 2+2 should equal zero. He in his infinite wisdom set the rules of this existence. Even though it's almost unthinkable that someone in power doesn't abuse it, that's just the kind of guy God is. We seperated ourselves from Him and He found a way to bring us back, while still playing by the rules that He set. I see that as almost infernally clever, in addition to gracious and generous. As for whether or not adam and eve are in hell, who's to say? In my limited studies, scripture doesn't specifically indicate either outcome. This is not the sort of thing that anyone or indeed, any group of people can even aspire to find the answers to. I think our time here has better purposes.

Adam and eve proabbly went to hell, however there is some ddebate as to whether they were redeemed by jesus or not. The bible mentions that when Jesus rose from the dead, many others rose from the dead, too (those that were in hell when Jesus went there)
The reason Adam and Eve were puished was not because God did not want to use his power, or that he was limited by our sin, however, adam and eve liited themselves. They coould nt be in the presence of God with sin in their heart. So they separated themselves from God, and God, who had given them the free will to do so, stuck with his word. So yes, they went to hell.

Not likely, because God at that time said that their punishment was to be exiled from the garden of Eden, and Eve's punishment was pain during childbirth, and that their descandents would suffer. God who knows all that was, and is, and is to come, already knew they would defy him, and knew that what he created was imperfect, and would probably be ready to accept what was to come. However, i do not think they should be sainted.

I would recommend abandoning myths such as Adam, Eve and hell and just getting on with our lives like rational people.

There is no one in Hell. Read your scriptures for the answer.
