If God created Adan & Eve in a Paradise (garden of pleasure) & told them the only reason to die was to sin?

Question

Don't you think that his purpose was for the earth to be filled with perfect people? (Genesis 1:28) 28 Further, God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth.”

now did he intend for them to die & go to heaven? can't you understand that everlasting life as a perfect is just as good as those who have the heavenly calling the 144,000 co rulers with Jesus (Revelation 20:6) . . .Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years. [to shepard ressurected mankind back to perfection] see also 1 cor 15:24-28

Answer 1

Did you get to count time for the sermon?
There is no real question here, just proselytizing. If you want to spread Witness theory, door to door works best for you.

Answer 2

To Mr. Badong

Seeing that just like many people I've came across , they condemn Jehovah's Witnesses and say that they created their own version of the Bible which is The New World Translation, this scripture is taken from The King James Version of the Bible

Genesis 1: 27 & 28
"So God created man in his own image; male and female he created them.

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

Gods oringinal pupose of the earth was for it to be filled with perfect humans and for them to live in hamony and peace with all other creatures on the earth.

In Revelations 14... Speakes about the 144,000 (people who have a heavenly hope) who will rule as "Kings and Priest" and help bring back "the great crowd" (people who have an earthly hope) to perfection and live on a paradise earth.

God's pupose for the earth will be carried out. Because he's a god that cannot lie and a God of love.

Answer 3

My friend, I recommend you get back to the study of the Bible and stop ;listening to the words and teachings of your elders. It seems your desire is to make this Yahoo question and answer section a form for the teaching of the doctrine of the Jehovah Witnesses. Please do that in your own Kingdom Halls and not here.

Does your newly translated Bible [New World Translation {NWT}] say that God told them [in your words "the only way to die was sin"]. If it does say that I suggest you look carefully at the translation. In all other translations I can not find the word "sin" in Genesis chapter 1.

Secondly I cannot find a single Bible that supports the concept that God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply. Do you have a God you call Jehovah that told potential sinners to fill the earth with potentual sinners? If that be true, then all mankind does have a right to blame God for sin because he commanded that they as potential sinners be born and populate the earth.

Answer 4

--THERE IS indeed good reason why people lack appreaciation for the earthly hope,-- it is an attitude response that shows contempt for what Jehovah God has indeed provided for a sure hope for mankind, in view of his generosity:

(James 1:17) “. . .Every good gift and every perfect present is from above, for it comes down from the Father of the [celestial] lights, and with him there is not a variation of the turning of the shadow.”

--WE MIGHT imagine that people who suffer great hardhips, throughout the world might latch on to something that would deminish their earthly pains & suffering , in their thinking, such as going to heaven.

--But it seems that people who have much show a greed and pride that they deserve much more than what God & Christ have in store for the vast majority of mankind, thus with the attitude they show , most likely this is how unappreaciative they would act even if they were to be in the paradised earth:

(Isaiah 26:7-10) “. . .The path of the righteous one is uprightness. You being upright, you will smooth out the very course of a righteous one. 8 Yes, for the path of your judgments, O Jehovah, we have hoped in you. For your name and for your memorial the desire of the soul has been. 9 With my soul I have desired you in the night; yes, with my spirit within me I keep looking for you; because, WHEN THERE ARE JUDGEMENTS from you for the earth, righteousness is what the inhabitants of the productive land will certainly learn.(PLEASE NOTICE)
--10 THOUGH THE WICKED SHOULD BE SHOWN FAVOR (my caps), he simply will not learn righteousness. In the land of straightforwardness he will act unjustly and will not see the eminence of Jehovah.”

--SO THEN it is not just because they want to go to heaven, but the lack of co-operating with the earthly calling (to some degree similar to those of the heavenly hope but perhaps not so prounounced) has no strength for Jehovah to solidify ,that earthly hope, so it is deminised by themselves!

Paul described Abraham as an alien resident and a tent dweller who was “awaiting the city having real foundations, the builder and maker of which city is God.
