If we are made like innocent children, what about the angels? Was it to test them?
Angels were created to do what they were naturally created to do
Listen to GOD

These particular angels didn't and forfeited their home

no place was found for them so they were cast down until all things have been accomplished

1-Do you think they went to heaven or hell? They are the two people responsible for all the sin and problems going on in the world today.

First thing that comes to mind on that is, it was a beginning of an era, an extremely extenuating circumstance. A stage in time designed to make points to a future population, and I would think God would treat it as such. As in cutting them some slack because they didn't have advantages, or certain knowledge as we do. Maybe they are given a chance to accept Christ as savior, just as I understand everyone will.

And the only people responsible for the sin in the world today its the people in the world sinning today. Adam/Eve didn't twist our arms and have nothing to do with with causing others to sin, or whatever you are getting at with the term "responsible".

That too
The work went back to the ONE it belonged to from the beginning

The angels the host of GOD...those who did NOT rebel

Their work is no different than ours
Fellow servants with us who hold to THE TESTIMONY of JESUS

I don't recall them ever eating from the tree of life, so I would assume they were still mortal pre fall.
they were fully alive
The tree of life in the garden from the beginning shows that GOD from the beginning even as HE created man. ForeKnew not only the fall but the victory in HIS SON

HE didn't say, when HE gave the command "Do not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil"

If you do
Perchance you do
Maybe you will


HE said:

In the day that you eat of it


GOD knew

It's why the tree of LIFE was there
Not because by eating of it we would be made more alive (we were alive) but because after we fell, we died. And after we were sent out from that perfect fully alive state enjoying the full and holy glory of fellowship with GOD, the way was blocked , the tree of LIFE could only be eaten from once we were provided the WAY back into the presence of GOD

I've heard the same, and it makes sense, because the Bible never specifically mentions what fruit it was that Adam and Eve tasted, only that it was a fruit from the forbidden tree of Good & Evil. And given that the Garden of Eden would be in what is present day Iraq & Syria, there's other fruits besides apples that are native to that region that also grow on trees, such as pomegranates, dates, figs, etc. The important thing here isn't whether the fruit was really an apple or not, but that it was taken from a tree that God specifically forbade them to eat from.

I was recently thinking about adam and eve, and 2 very confusing things occurred to me about them.

1-Do you think they went to heaven or hell? They are the two people responsible for all the sin and problems going on in the world today.

2-This is a bit trickier of a question. If Adam and eve didnt sin, would the same souls exist right now or not? To be more specific, would WE exist right now?

1 They are in heaven now.
Gen3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them

2No, this perishable world is not exist.
There is Eden until now, and the inhabitants surely only them.

@Superhero Sam

Wow - different folks do reply differently. Where are Adam and Eve now? I think they got lost in the park. Adam and Eve they were given one command - do not eat or touch the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil Genesis 2:17 - just one commandment - and they failed. With that death entered mankind through just one man - Adam Romans 5:12

Everybody is going to die. You, me, them and those who did not reply to your post because they don't have a computer at home or just pretty busy. We are all going to die, but it won't be today - maybe tomorrow. Scary isn't it? Ecclesiastes 9:5 We are destined to die once and be judged later. It is better to have that coffin ready, buying it right now will really avoid the trouble and increasing prices of coffins.

Adam and Eve died. They are still on earth. They became dusts, with the long time that they have been dead - their flesh became dust, their bones turned to dust, their bodily fluids became water and their gaseous parts long mixed with the air. They aren't in heaven. Did not read that Adam or Eve went up in heaven. I have read 3 people taken up in heaven:

  1. Enoch Hebrews 11:5 Genesis 5:24
  2. Elijah 2 Kings 2:11
  3. The Lord Jesus Christ Mark 16:19
King David who is favored in the sight of God, who won victories because God was on his side, who was tasked to write Book of Psalms is still on earth and never ascended to heaven Acts 2:29 Acts 2:34

Who are in heaven aside from the 3 people who were taken up?
The many angels in heaven 1 Peter 3:22
The four living creatures Revelation 19:4
The twenty four elders Revelation 19:4

To learn more of what happens when we die - here is a video about it

CONCLUSION: Only 3 human beings are in heaven contrary to popular beliefs
