If Adam had not sinned, would he eventually have gone to heaven?

Question

Wasn't this earth supose to be his home forever?

Answer 1

But what if Adam had not sinned? What if he had not disobeyed God and he had been granted to eat of the tree of life? Where would he have enjoyed God’s gift of everlasting life? In heaven? No! God said nothing about Adam’s being taken to heaven. His work assignment was here on earth. The Bible explains that “Jehovah God made to grow out of the ground every tree desirable to one’s sight and good for food,” and it says: “Jehovah God proceeded to take the man and settle him in the garden of Eden to cultivate it and to take care of it.” (Genesis 2:9, 15) After Eve was created as a mate for Adam, the two were given additional work assignments here on earth. God told 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.” Genesis 1:28.

Think of the marvelous earthly prospects those instructions from God opened for Adam and Eve! They were to rear perfectly healthy sons and daughters in the earthly Paradise. As their beloved children grew older, these would share with them in being fruitful and in doing pleasant garden work to maintain that Paradise. With all the animals in subjection to them, humankind would be very contented. Think of the joy of extending the boundaries of the garden of Eden so that eventually the entire earth would be a paradise! Would you enjoy life with perfect children in such a beautiful earthly home, without any concerns about growing old and dying?

Answer 2

No. The opportunity to go to heaven was NEVER given to ANYONE prior to Jesus coming to the Earth. He said: “No man has ascended into heaven but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man.” (John 3:13)
All these " Yes- answers" about Adam going to Heaven leads me to Know that these folk dont read the Bible, or if they do they Blind...Satan has also ‘blinded the minds of the unbelievers so that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ might not shine through.’ (2 Corinthians 4:4) .

Answer 3

No. The Bible NEVER said that the earth would be a testing ground for humans who would eventually go to heaven. If Adam hadn't sinned, he would be alive today, helping to raise a global family united in serving their God, Jehovah.

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

"The righteous themselves will possess the earth,
And they will reside forever upon it." Ps. 37:29

Answer 4

This world wasn't made to be anyone's home forever. It was made to be our testing ground. We all were created with an evil human nature that pulls us to lust, envy, be jealous, steal, smoke, drink and to do countless other sins. God created us sinful because He is love and in order for Him to be manifested to the world He had to forgive and die for us who have sinned against Him. He himself has provided the wedding garment. All we have to do is put it on. (Believe in Him) He says our final home will be heaven. That's where we are destined to spend eternity with Him in joy and peace.

Answer 5

If Adam and Eve had not sinned then they would have remained immortal.. and WE would never have been born...

I believe that they would have gone to heaven as I am sure they will anyway if they have not already.

Answer 6

I would say no.......certainly not by death. Death is a consequence of sin.

God intended His kingdom on Earth....and we shall see it in the New Heavens & New Earth:

Answer 7

Adam would have went were ever God lead him to go. he probably did go to heaven though. the people who where here before Jesus was had to look forward to the promised coming of the savior. in the garden of eden God told the serpent that eves seed was going to bruise thy head and the snakes seed was going to bruise his heal. that was God telling about the coming of Jesus Christ so if adam believed that god would eventually send the savior then he would have gone to heaven. they looked forward and believed on the promised coming of Christ and we look back and believe that Jesus came .

Answer 8

this earth was made for humans and that is our home.
It is a beautiful place to live if you remove the wicked people.

Answer 9

Uh, if you believe the story in Genesis I guess you could say you're correct. But he got his butt kicked out and blamed it on a woman....typical.

Answer 10

Did Adam have a belly button? Who knows,it's pretty irreleveant!
