Where does it show in the bible that men lived in heaven..... around adam and eve time...... who else beside them...... or Beside jesus entering back into heaven when he died...
I have another question..... could you say that The First Day of the week would be Sunday.......????????????????
Then why is it that................. We don't have church on Sat.... since its the 7th day ........ God rested.......
Genesis 2 - 2
And on the Seventh day God ended His work which he had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. then god blessed the seventh day and sanctified it
AM I the only one who see's it .....?????? Let me know what you think?

The Bible says God created the heavens, and that Satan got kicked out. The Bible says that we get eternal life (heaven) through Jesus' gift of salvation. John talks of the Heavens being 'paved with gold'.
The Bible talks more about Hell than Heaven.

Heaven dose indeed exist... God is there, Jesus is there, the angels are there and the departred of the time before Jesus' Sacrifice are there.... and Jesus said there were many mansions there... besides the imagry of the Book of Revelation mortals know nothing more of it...... those, of The Faith, who have ended their mortal time, since Jesus' Sacrifice, will sleep untill Christ calls them out at the Rapture. all others will sleep untill called to the judgment of the lost
As to the The Seventh Day and it being The Sabbath... The Fourth Commandment has not been nullified... That refers to The Sabbath instituted by God... That is from sundown on Friday untill sundown on Saturday.... The Sunday Sabbath was put in place by the Catholic cult as a demonstration of their authority ...they did not have God's permission to do it...and the catholics who know do not claim that they did... and the ones who split from the catholics, for the most part, kept that "tradition"

before Jesus died for man kinds sin there was no way for one to get into heaven because there sins had not yet been "washed clean" so for all those who were righteous. when they died (speaking before the death of Christ) they went to a place called "paradise". it was not heaven, it was actually right next to hades. and after Jesus died he went to paradise and preached to all who were there for 3 days (this was the amount of time Christ was in the grave). and all who believe he was the son of God rose with him to heaven.
i have seen the beginning of the week set as Sunday, and also on other calenders set as Monday. regardless to when we think that day was when it all started. how can we even be sure? it could have been Wednesday for all we can tell. Sunday is a day picked out by man as the resting day. which makes this the day most save to go to church. hardcore believers will not go simply once a week though. so the day of the week can mean less to them.

Yes, there really is a heaven. All of us lived in heaven before we were born. God created us first as spirits, than as gave us our bodies when we were born to create the complete soul.
On your second question. Sunday is the first day. The Sabbath was changed to Sunday by early Christians to honor the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

God created the Garden of Eden, which was the closest thing to Heaven here on earth. After the fall, God hid the Garden from mankind. Aside from that, no one who was created to live on earth, lived in Heaven--they just lived on earth.
The first day of the week is Sunday. The original Sabbath is on Saturday. But God is not so concerned about the day we choose to set aside to worship Him, so much as He is that we actually choose one of the days of the week to do so.

Look at the martyrdom of Stephen.
As for why Sunday, because Jesus was crucified on a Friday and was resurrected on the third day...fri, sat, Sunday.

I am not sure that we will live in Heaven or not. Those who have already died and were worthy have gone there fore now, but when the judgment day has come they may live on the earth again.

hello
I don't know about the existance of heaven as described in Christianity, kuran or Hinduism.
But I remember my father telling me one thing. Heaven and hell are now and here. If you deny your life then you create a hell, if you accept the life as it is, live in now and present you are in heaven.
Another thing that I feel is Heaven is not a place. But that very peace and calm inside you, where you are not bothered by the extremes of emotions.

sat is a day of rest thats why we get a two day weekend. you choose to go to church on sundays, church is mostly for the fellowship of fellow believers.

Yes there is a heaven. In the Pastafarian heaven there are beer volcanoes I heard.
