1 | does eternal have a beginning? | Jer 1:5 | jlpangilinan | 22812 | ||
It is nothing goes with your topic. My question is: Did Adam knows the concept of Heaven: Ge 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. I am very interested to know it, meaning if there are scriptures that will support that Adam knew the concept of Heaven. (maybe he knows that God is in heaven) that if He disobey God His soul will be tormented in Hell. Or is he also will informed that If he obey God his Soul will go to heaven. We have promises of Heaven from Christ, but it seems Adam not knowledgeable about it: Joh 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. Nolan, I post this question many times in the forum, it seems they dont have the answers yet. I hope you can help explaining it to me. God bless, Johnny |

Johnny: "He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end." --Ecclesiastes 3:11 Does Adam have the specifics about Heaven? We aren't sure, of course. We do know that Enoch prophesied of eternity and judgment: "It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, 'Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.' --Jude 14,15 I think it is unlikely that Enoch had a grasp of eternity that Adam didn't. We also see a system of sacrifices in place with Cain and Abel, so I would think that lends further evidence that the atonement was clear in the mind of their father. So in Genesis we have knowledge of sin, judgment, and the necessity of atonement. If they had no concept of rewards or punishments in the afterlife, I don't think it would be so important for them to offer sacrifices at all to God. In Ecclesiates we see that eternity is written on the hearts of men. I hold that there is much circumstantial evidence for Adam's remission of sins. One hundred percent sure? Nope, but the facts around him point that way/ |

Thanks Joe, I was wondering If I could get the answers with passages. I am very interested to that question because of some friends belongs to Jehovas Witnessess. They are really particular that Adam and Eve are not knowledgeable that someday they will leave in Heaven but instead people will leave in paradise. (like they was in Eden) Meaning God will restored the original plan for being in paradise (not heaven). They also believed that people will go to heaven are limited (not all of us). Johnny |
