Children some of them would have sinned. What would God have done then? Would it be like the 1000 year judgement day when those who come back who sin die the second death?

There is no 'if'. It went down the way God planned it! And that's it.

Basically the same would have happened to them as happened to Adam and Eve, i.e. the punishment was death and they would have returned to the dust, without any hope of a resurrection, as they were perfect. As this would be a permanent death then it is equivalent to the second death. (death without any future prospects of life)
The difference being that when Adam and Eve sinned they were the only humans alive at the time, therefore the 'entire' human race - all 2 of them - had rebelled against god, become imperfect and lost the ability to have perfect children. Because of that, the whole human race was affected, if they had had children first and some of those children had rebelled, there would still be other faithful perfect humans left.

If Adam and Eve had Not sinned, then Satan would have been proved a liar and a slanderer right off the bat.
Almighty God would have removed Satan then and Sin would never have entered the world of mankind.
Satan had a couple of lies and challenges he left out there that had to be answered.
1. Does man have the right to rule himself without God.
2 That when man serves God it is only to get stuff from God.
Not because humans love God.
So If Adam remained faithful, then those questions would have been answered.
But because Adam sinned, God had to let the challenge run its course.
Jesus, was a perfect man who maintained hes integrity to the death like Adam should have.
Now Jesus has given us the Chance to do the same...prove our integrity to God.
But no with sin removed by removing Satan none of Adams perfect children would have sinned again.

God had a plan for the world and i know God knew Adam and Eve would sin so nothing different would happen.It is a good question but God already knew!

Adam and Eve probably weren't real people. Most likely they were a metaphor for the first men and woman. The forbidden fruit represented when they became self aware. Adam actually means Man. Eve means mother of man or first woman. The garden of (in) Eden represented the state of mankind when we lived like the animals.
From this point of view, God prefered our animal like passed as more innocent. Thats why animals can do what they want and wont go to hell.

Adam represented our nature to sin in his fall from grace represents the fall of mankind. We all inherited death and sin did come to the world but all of us have our individual sin the only man to overcome sin was
Christ who was God with us.

You forget that childbirth didnt happen until AFTER the fall.
Mankind is of one essence. That is why Paul says that we sinned in Adam. We wouldve done exactly what they did because we are them and they are us. Humans are humans and we are what we are by virtue of our natural lack of faith in God.

I agree with the first one!!! but if god wanted it to go the other way, life as we no it would be way different. I think we got the best though. we learned to be nice and take responsibilities for our actions with still having sin and that is not bad for us humans!

Star_Zer's right. there isn't no "if's." What isn't right about what He said that He planned it. He KNEW what was going to happen, which is a difference. He gave them free will. He didn't want it to be like his, but He knew it would be like this because of the disobedience of His Creation.

they were never unfaithful to God, they simply disobeyed.
and if they hadn't eaten from the tree then they wouldn't have had kids.
they'd just been as animals, unaware of their free will, living in eden naked forever.
