adam and eve

Post by Prodigal Son »

i wonder if adam and eve went to heaven, or, if they are like the angels...since they already knew God personally, they can't be forgiven/saved.

adam and eve eventually repented. although it is not mentioned. but one could say that they taught their sons about sacrificial offerings. abel gave the perfect sacrifice where as cain did not.

I tend to agree - they both must have turned back to God. They were immediately ashamed; so obviously they understood their error. And lets not forget that even Moses and Abraham sinned, yet were considered righteous. God certainly did not turn from Adam and Eve, because both Cain and Abel knew God and interacted with Him.

It's a good question though; that perhaps Abraham's faith was 'worth more' given that he didn't originally see and interact physically with God... I'm not sure, really.
