Bible Note: Personal Note .................................... Dear Johnny, As you said, this is off the original topic, and therefore I generally would not wish to respond to it in this thread. However, since you mention that you have asked it repeatedly with no answer, I'll make an exception. It is my opinion that Adam had a better picture of Heaven than any of us, because he lived in a closer approximation than we can even imagine. The Garden of Eden (before the fall) seems like it was very close to Heaven. Adam got to physically walk with God and talk with Him in a much more direct sense than when we pray today. My view of Heaven is a place where we will have uninhibited communion with God. We will actually be able to see Him, and there will be no sin to muddle our relationship. Adam seems to have had both of these things to begin with. Therefore, I think that Adam knew very well, what he was choosing to reject by disobeying God, and therefore deserved to suffer the consequences. I hope this helps, and I'll refrain from adding anything else to this thread since I am off topic. |
