Incredible, I was studing this just today and called my paster for more clarification because though I taught adults the bible for 32 years, this question was unresolved for me until today when studying John Woovoord's Marjor Bible Prophecies. (I won't go into his credentials as a teacher,author and preacher and expert on prophecies )-
You remember how A and E tried to cover their nakedness after eating of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil He had forbid them to eat from and satan distorted what God said and when God came to converse with them that evening, knowing they had disobeyed, He knew they had tried to cover themselves with fig leaves (self-righteous endeavor-didn't work)-and we still do it today.
God had to kill animals for their skins to cover A and E's nakedness and this foretells the blood covering of Jesus that must be applied to us,if by faith we blieve He died and shed His blood for the remission of our sin.
God's punishment for their disobedience was to drive them out of the Garden of Eden and also so that they might not go on living eternally in a state of sin-thus they died spiritually and eventually a physical death.
The spiritual death was not unto hell but of seperation from God while still living on earth.As Christiqans our sins seperate us from God until we seek His forgivenness and seek to do His will according to His Word.
God forced him out of the Garden and into the world, out into a new invironment, on probabtion with new terms and conditions..
#1 Adam had to trust in the promised seed so much he would commit his life totally to the Savior to come though Adam himself would not live to see it so it was totally by faith., just as with Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, etc.
God had to deliver and save Adam in such a way he would be freed from sin,made righteous,and perfected forever and that way was to go out into the world and be taught to trust and focus on the promised seed of the the woman (Gen 3:14-15
that same provision has been made for "whosoever will (John 3:16)- unto this day.

Yeah they got Saved.
See, the Old Testament or New Testament wasn't in Effect at that Time---but Plans for both had Already been Thought Out.
All Adam and Eve knew was Don't Eat from that Tree.
Now a days, we know that we have to Accept Jesus to get to Heaven.
GOD dosen't Change, but HE Changes the way HE deals with different Things (like Mankind) at Different Times.
You'll see them Both in Heaven.
Then, you'll Find out if Adam had a Belly Button (Hahaha) Riiiiiiggggghhhhhhhttttttttt!!!

God may forgive Eve since the Bible says she was deceived. However, Adam was not deceived. He knowingly disobeyed God, with full knowledge that the consequences for his actions would be death. What he might not have realized, however, is that it also would mean death to all the children he would have, and all the children they would have, etc., etc., etc. Either way, there is no fiery, burning, eternal torment that causes you to suffer eternally. He died--that's all folks. The reason?? Willful disobedience which led to negligent homicide of the entire human race before any of us had even been born.

Thats a great question. The Bible doesn't say much about Adam and Eve after being outcast from the garden but only God knows their hearts and attitudes by the end of their lives. There are a lot of questions that we all have that we would like to ask God but unfortunately we will just have to wait to ask.

Correction-the laying off of harmless blood isn't God's way. That become the penalty for sin-dying. with a view to "conceal' their sin-an harmless animal had to to die (or God might have killed Adam and Eve on the spot). The animal did no incorrect. It does not seem honest or suitable. yet we continually underestimate the consequence of sin. whilst dealing with sin-it is no longer in all threat honest, there'll continually be a sacrifice. Jesus become the suited blood sacrifice for the sins of the international. whether, in the present day, even nonetheless we are "under the blood", if some one sins against you-you're able to nonetheless sacrifice your "rights" as a sufferer to ensure that forgiveness.

God forgave Adam and Eve, but they were sent to live on Earth, and work their way to Heaven.

They're in hell, obviously. First of all, they displeased God and screwed up his plan for a wonderful world. And then, to make matters worse, they never had a chance to accept Jesus. They're in hell for sure. Definitely.

We really do not know. Jesus will come at HIS appointed time and they will be judged as you and I will be. Are you planning for your eternal confinement in heaven or not? We need to be concerned about our eternal position instead of others. We can not help others unless we are in a saved state. Study these scriptures and see what you think. To become a Christian:
1. We must HEAR GOD’s WORD. - Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
2. We are told to BELIEVE. - To the Prison guard in Acts 16:31 Paul and Silas said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
3. We must REPENT (turn from) of our sins. - Acts 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.
4. We are told to CONFESS CHRIST before men. - Matthew 10:32 "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.
5. We are to enter the waters and BE BAPTIZED. - Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
6. We are told to CONTINUE TO BE FAITHFUL until death. - Revelation 2:10b Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Send me a note if you have questions. I am anxious to hear from you. Have a Great day.

It was only a childrens story to explain to the uneducated the origin of Man. Oh, and there is no Hell, only the absense of the creator.

Since they couldn't have know about Jesus and the Jews hadn't come into existence as God's chosen people yet, it sucks to be them.
