    Read Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.”

    Ps 103:14 For he himself well knows the formation of us,

    Remembering that we are dust.

    Ecc. 3:20 All are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust.

    Genesis 2: 7 is where Adam was made from the dust of the ground . .breath was put into him so he became a living soul.

    Genesis 3: 17-19 is where Adam was told that he was out of the garden and had to work hard for his food for the rest of his life.

    It ends with him being told 'from the dust you were taken . .to the dust you will return.

    No heaven for Adam or eve.

    Adam and Eve weren't really sentenced. They were exiled from the Garden of Eden. To be more accurate, all of mankind was cursed, but that's another issue. The reason they were not allowed to enter back into the garden was so that they'd die physically. And that was done so that they wouldn't for all eternity be separated from being in the presence God by their sinful flesh. So after they died, they were with the Lord. That's the whole reason why they died physically. They loved God, even though they were disobedient. So that's why they are now in Heaven with the Lord.
