How come everyone wants to go to heaven, when Adam and Eve were put on Earth and....?

Question

would have stayed there if they had not eaten the fruit... So did Satan introduce the idea of sin upon mankind, so all humans could go to heaven? Does this really make sense at all.......

Answer 1

Actually, it does make sense. If you could, would you want to have children that "had" to do whatever you wanted them to do and to tell you that they loved you anytime you told them to say it? Or would you rather have children that do it on their own free will? God gave us all a choice. We can choose to love HIM or we can chose not to.

As far as being put on Earth....there is no conflict here either. Rev. 21:1,2 tells us that there will be a new heaven and a new earth because the old ones will pass away and that the new Jerusalem will come down out of heaven so heaven and earth will be ONE place where there will be ONE flock and ONE shepherd.

Answer 2

We were put here on this earth with a purpose to live for ever with a perfect life, in a perfect world, and that is still what is intended for those believing in Jehovah and doing his will which is told in the bible. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God they ruined Jehovah's perfect plan for mankind. Jesus came in human form to preach about his father Jehovah and about how the world would once again be free from sin if we follow his teachings. Isaiah 65:17 says "For here I am creating a new heavens and a new earth, and the former things will not be called to mind, neither will they come up into the heart." He speaks of creating a new heavens AND a new earth. Isaiah 65:21-22 says " And they will certainly build houses and have occupancy, and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat fruitage. They will not build and somone else have occupancy; they will not plant and someone else do the eating. For like the days of a tree will the days of my people be; and the work of their own hands my chosen ones will use to the full." The bible does talk about people that would go to heaven as well, you can read about this through the link below to investigate the facts and see proof for yourself. It's alot better then merely relying on someone's opinion, don't you think? :)

Answer 3

None of that makes sense when you know that the first humans on this earth believed in living forever on the earth.
Psalms 37: 9,10,11 & 29 Which says the wicked will be destroyed and the righteous will live forever on the earth.
Did Jesus do away with that idea? NO!
He said, "the meek will inherit the earth" I think some might go to heaven to replace the wicked angels who sinned.
Kind of like divine justice. that is what they get for corrupting humans. It wasn't the fruit he wanted to decide for himself what was good or bad.

Answer 4

ALL PERFECT WAS LOST IN EDEN AND MUST BE BROUGHT BACK TO PERFECT
Isa.65:17; For behold I create New Heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. Isa.66:1,22; [1 This saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool: where is the house ye build for me? and where is the place of my rest.
[22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make,
shall remain before me, saith the LORD, So shall your seed and your name remain.
Matt.19:28[Eze.38:12-14]; 2Pet.3:13; Nevertheless we, according to his promise,
look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Rev.21:1-5; And I saw a new heavens and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. [2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband, [3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. [4] [5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold I make all things new... Rev.21:9,10,21-21; 22:1,14;

Answer 5

Earth was perfect, and the Lord dwelt there. However when sin infected mankind everything became imperfect. God cannot co-exist with sin. This is why Isaiah and Revelations talk of a New Heaven and New Earth; which will be perfect again and reserved only for those who have renounced sin. In short the entire point of our lives now is to freely renounce sin and desire, essentially to be slaves to righteousness.

Answer 6

the Bible is EXTREMELY CLEAR that God made the earth and then made man out of the dust of the earth. Adam and Eve were NEVER in heaven or in a spirit form.

1. Where did God create humans to live?
EARTH *not* heaven

2. Were humans supposed to die?
NO, *only* if they disobeyed God and ate the fruit of one tree God told them not to eat of

3. If humans were made to have "eternal life" on earth, why do so many think they go on living somewhere else after they die?
SATAN DECEIVED EVE telling her she "would not die" and that she would become a spirit "like God"

4. Why does the Bible say that "the dead are conscious of nothing at all" and that "the righteous will inherit the earth and live forever" and that "a day is coming that all the dead will be resurrected"?
BECAUSE GOD CREATED THE EARTH AND MANKIND WITH THAT PURPOSE, and He intends to restore that purpose that satan ruined when he deceived Eve

5. What is the "new earth"/"new Jerusalem" spoken of in the Bible?
THE NEW EARTH IS THE RESTORED PURPOSE OF GOD, THE RESTORED GARDEN OF EDEN THAT THE RIGHTEOUS WILL INHERIT AND LIVE FOREVER UPON after God's great day of vengeance over rebellious mankind who believe satan's lie that we can create our own governments and rule ourselves.

if you believe you go on living in some other realm after you die then you are believing satan's original lie

Answer 7

church: Your correct. Remember; "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth" ? Going to "heaven" all revolves around the "immortal soul" dogma common to main-steam Christianity. BUT - do people really have an "immortal soul" ? Satan perpetuated that false belief when he told Eve, that "She would not surely die", upon eating the "forbidden fruit" (see: Genesis 3rd chapter, verse 4) - after God said that she would die ! The immortal soul dogma is an invention of the ancient Egyptians, later adopted by the Greeks, employed to exercise fear of going to an ever-burning "hell" fire (fear-religion) for not listening to the leaders. In other words, a tool for controlling the masses with. In the Bible, only Jesus Christ IS IMmortal (see: First Timothy, Chapter 6, 16th verse) !!! This is why you have the confusion. It is never the Bible but the mistranslation that confuses people.

Answer 8

The story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden was a metaphor prior life on the physical plane. The Adam and Eve in the garden(spiritual plane) was not the same of Adam and Eve in the physical plane(this happens when they were casted out from the garden). The fruit that opens their eyes in the knowledge of good and evil signals two episode of the souls in their quest for the truth. Satan is a metaphor of all physical attributes.

The whole story is about a spirit instinctive desire to fuse with a material body creating individuality called souls in their individual and creative quest for answers. As spirit, we are originally living in spiritual world - some called it heaven - but isn't something that would last because the innocent and curiousity of the spirit and its instinctive desire to make itself complete with a material body and the lack of knowledge were a force that sends us spiralling downward to the lowest dimensional plane and become a living physical body. As individual souls we strive to find answers and ultimately if done correctly we would return to our former state this time eternallly and permanently with a material body( same like Jesus coming back and taking his physical body back to the spiritual world. He becomes a perfect and complete spiritual being. He is the living spirit.

Answer 9

Yes, you are right. God's original purpose was for humans to live forever on Earth. And this is what will happen soon.

Jesus said in Matthew 5:5: "Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth."

Also, Psalms 37:11: "But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace."

Clearly, then, the earth will not be destroyed [as most people think], it will be RESTORED to its original form.

Answer 10

Satan is a rebel angel so he can't make any sense at all. After living on earth Adam and Eve were supposed to go to Heaven anyway without dying (like the Most Holy Virgin Mary).
The only difference is that they would have lived without committing sin, in perfect union with God.
