It always surprised me that an earthly paradise is a strange concept for most people. Remember this was God's original purpose, that the earth be a paradise and filled. Isa 45:18, says that the earth was not created for nothing but to be inhabited. The earth plays a pivotal role in Jehovah's purpose. We can be confident that an Eden-like paradise will come to fruition.

Paradise: A beautiful park, or a parklike garden. The Greek word pa·ra´dei·sos occurs three times in the Christian Greek Scriptures. (Lu 23:43; 2Co 12:4; Re 2:7)

The New Jerusalem is going to descend to Earth. Earth gets cleansed by fire and becomes The New Earth. Here are some of it's activities:

1. Build your own home and plant your own garden (Isaiah 65:21, 22)
2. Have a city mansion built by Christ (John 14:1-3.)
3. Sing and play heavenly music (Isaiah 35:10; 51:11; Psalm 87:7; Revelation 14:2, 3).
4. Worship before God's throne every Sabbath (Isaiah 66:22, 23).
5. Enjoy never-fading flowers and trees (Ezekiel 47:12; Isaiah 35:1, 2).
6. Meeting loved ones, patriarchs, prophets, angels etc. (Matthew 8:11; Revelation 7:9-17).
7. Study the animals of heaven (Isaiah 11:6-9; 65:25).
8. Fly and explore wonders of the universe without getting tired (Isaiah 40:31).
9. Listen to God sing (Zephaniah 3:17).
10. Realize fondest ambitions (Psalm 37:3, 4; Isaiah 65:24).
11. Being with Jesus (Revelation 14:4; 22:4; 21:3; 1 John 3:2).

Firstly don't ask the JWs because they persue a false religion...the JW Bible is full of subtle and not-so-subtle error.

Earth was once a paradise but sin (aka the Devil) changed all that. Jesus holds the ownership to the Earth abd is coming back again soon. After He has opened a can of whoop on Satan there follows a period of 1000 years during which Jesus reigns here on Earth, along with the Saints (followers) who were raptured.

After that time the Devil will be allowed to come back to the Earth for the last time whereupon the final and most terrible of all battles will be fought and the result is Satan gets plonked into the lake of fire forever (along with those who follow him).

The Bible says the earth will be destroyed completely but a new heaven and earth will be put in place by God ... and that will be the paradise He always intended. Revelation speaks clearly of this.

My prayer would be that all who read this site would be able to enter into that paradise. Check out Rev 3:20 to see if you hear a tap on your door.

Yes there is going to be a paradise earth. Many pray for God's Kingdom when they use the Lord's Prayer found at Matthew 6:9,10. Notice it says your will take place as in heaven also on the earth.

Matthew 6:9,10
9 “YOU must pray, then, this way:

“‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. 10 Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.
There are many other references to the meek inheriting the earth, the earth will stand to times indefinite,

Revelation 21:3
3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
I have included a link for you to follow that has other links associated with it for you to read that will help explain this new thought for you.

This is mentioned in the Bible in many Scriptures, Consider these:
Psalm 37:9-11--"For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace."
Isaiah 33:24--"And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity."
Micah 4:3,4--"and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig-tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of Jehovah of hosts hath spoken it."
Ezekiel 34:27--" And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them."
Isaiah 35:5-6--"Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert."
Isaiah 65:21-25--" They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit. No longer will they build houses and others live in them, or plant and others eat. For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people; my chosen ones will long enjoy the works of their hands.They will not toil in vain or bear children doomed to misfortune; for they will be a people blessed by the LORD, they and their descendants with them. Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear. The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but dust will be the serpent's food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain," says the LORD."
There are so many more, but this is what God's servants are promised will occur in the near future and we can be assured they will be kept, for God cannot lie.

Jesus used the Greek expression pa·ra´dei·sos when referring to the future earthly Paradise. ‘Truly I tell you today, You will be with me in Paradise.’”—Luke 23:43.

What points to this Paradise as being earthly?
The Hebrew Scriptures had never led faithful Jews to expect a reward of heavenly life. Those Scriptures pointed to the restoration of Paradise here on earth. Daniel 7:13, 14 had foretold that when “rulership and dignity and kingdom” would be given to the Messiah, “the peoples, national groups and languages should all serve even him.” Those subjects of the Kingdom would be here on the earth. By what he said to Jesus, the evildoer was evidently expressing the hope that Jesus would remember him when that time came.

(Eden) A region in which the Creator planted a gardenlike park as the original home of the first human pair. The statement that the garden was “in Eden, toward the east,” apparently indicates that the garden occupied only a portion of the region called Eden. (Ge 2:8) However, the garden is thereafter called “the garden of Eden” (Ge 2:15) and, in later texts, is spoken of as “Eden, the garden of God” (Eze 28:13), and as “the garden of Jehovah.”—Isa 51:3.
The Septuagint rendered the Hebrew word for “garden” (gan) by the Greek word pa·ra´dei·sos. To this fact we owe our association of the English word “paradise” with the garden of Eden.

Nope. I've made my mistakes in the past. I'm not perfect. If I reach in Paradise it'll be a miracle.

Psalm 37:29
Psalm 37:10,11
Proverbs 2:21,22
Psalm 115:16
Plus the following reasoning:
Adam died because he ate the fruit.
Where would Adam be if he chose to never touch the fruit?
