Were Adam and Eve saved?

Answer 1

The Bible does not specifically tell us whether Adam and Eve were saved. Adam and Eve were the only two human beings who knew about God before they became tainted with sin. As a result, they likely still knew God better after their Fall than any of us do today. Adam and Eve most definitely believed in and depended God. God continued to talk with Adam and Eve and provide for them after the Fall. Adam and Eve knew of God’s promise that He would provide a Savior (Genesis 3:15). God made a garments of skin for Adam and Eve after the Fall (Genesis 3:21). Many scholars understand this as the first animal sacrifice, foreshadowing the eventual death of Christ on the cross for the sins of the world. As a result of these facts, it would seem that Adam and Eve were "saved" and did indeed go to Heaven / Paradise when they died.

Answer 2

Two possibile answers, I'm not sure which is right:

One: One must accept Jesus Christ in order to be saved from sin. Since no one who was born before Christ can accept Jesus (short of prophetic knowledge of his arrival, which appears to be a rare commodity) no one, including Adam and Eve, can go to heaven.

Two: The concept of Jesus wasn't really known, but the idea that one should 'walk with God' was, and this kind of faith/lifestyle could be translated into 'accepting Jesus' if they were born today. This might work because this assumption of motives applies to us too, in that it is assumed we would have done the same thing as Adam and Eve if we were there. In other words, it could be said, "Adam and Eve would have accepted Christ if they were in our place."

I'm pretty sure a Christian wants to believe God didn't abandon 2,000 prior years of mankind, so I'll bet you'll find something like the latter explanation with most Christians.

Excellent Question, by the way.

Answer 3

No, They both knew the rules, Eve was the younger of the two, that is why Satan approached her first, YET she not only quote Gods rules in Genesis 3:1-5 but she embellished upon them by adding the words, Will die if looking upon the tree.
Yet she knowingly still chose to sin.
Then Adam the coward....Really....When God caught him...rather than being the man of the family and standing up and taking the brunt of the blame, he told GOD...well....I screwed up, BUT, it was that WOMAN you sent me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So he blamed God and Eve for his stupidity.
No they will not be SAVED. they both Had a personal relationship with the Creator, and chose to go other wise and insult Gods Holy Spirit.
It IS a good warning for those who think once saved ALWAYS saved. No, you must KEEP ON WORKING out your own salvation that you MIGHT be saved. That is according to the Apostle Paul.
E-Me I can give you bible based proof!

Answer 4

Your question as posed is illogical.

When someone asks if another was " saved" in a religious context they're referring to the Christian doctrine of salvation. It didn't exist at the time of the Genesis story's " genesis". Whether or not Adam and Eve were real individual human beings is irrelevant. The ancient Hebrews, whose book of Genesis contains the story of Adam and Eve had no idea of the Christian dogma.

I felt like I was "channeling" Spock from Star Trek when I read this question. " Highly illogical, sir"

Answer 5

First, Adam and Eve were chosen by God to be our first parents, of the billions on this earth. They were real people. And if Eve and Adam never did partake of the fruit they would still be in the garden, and we wouldn't be here on Earth. They could not reproduce until they left the garden in the world we now exist. Isa 55:8-9. Secular man tries to make Adam a nobody, man of no importance, because the scriptures are silent about the hundreds of years Adam lived on earth. God has perfect knowledge of what every human will do - God knows all things. Adam was the first prophet of God on Earth. God taught him about the plan of salvation during his lifetime. God talked to Adam from time to time. In the millennium, Adam and Eve will be present and reveal to the resurrected saints what God taught him about the purpose of Life and his role as the first man and prophet of God. Sectarian Christianity with their diverse doctrines will never come to the knowledge of God's ancient prophets including Enoch.

Answer 6

That's a good question.
The bible doesn't state so explicitly, but I do believe that they are. Nobody was closer to God in the beginning than Adam, with Eve trailing behind ever so slightly.

But really, I think that is one question that only God knows for sure.

Answer 7

If your question is were they Christians? The anwer is no. How could they have been since they were before the time of Christ? If you know anything about the Bible you would know that people who were religious in following the law went to heaven before the time of Christ. If you are a Christian then you believe that since the time of Christ you must believe that He is the Son of God to go to heaven.

Answer 8

They are fictional characters out of a flawed man-made book. The religious term "saved" is nonsense. That's another made-up con to bamboozle the flock so they don't stray away.

Answer 9

Of course not. They were poofed into existence some 4000 years or so before Jesus of Nazareth was born the Christ.

Answer 10

They were going to be, but Eve ate the apple.
