Are Adam and Eve in Heaven or Hell, what with the whole original sin thing?

Update:

Sarah, "stop asking questions and do as you are told"

    Because of the Fall of Adam and Eve, all people live in a fallen condition, separated from God and subject to physical death. However, we are not condemned by what many call the “original sin.” In other words, we are not accountable for Adam's transgression in the Garden of Eden. Now; “We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression”. Through the Atonement, the Savior paid the price for the transgression in the Garden of Eden. He has given us the assurance of resurrection and the promise that, based on our faithfulness, we can return to dwell in the presence of our Heavenly Father forever.

    death ends all? Such it will be for Adam and like willful sinners, for God did not hold out any hope for Adam when he sentenced him to return to the dust. Being a deliberate sinner, Adam justly deserved the penalty God pronounced upon him. Gen. 3:19.

    did Adam and Eve go to a burning hell to be tormented forever? If God had purposed to punish them in that way, surely he should have warned them to that effect. Jehovah would then have said to Adam: ‘If you eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you will go to hell and be tormented forever and ever.’

    But God said nothing of the sort. Then did he change the penalty for the crime after it had been committed? Why, even imperfect men realize that to be unjust. Surely God is not less just than man, is He?

    Eve and Adam confessed to their willful sin. They had no basis for asking for His forgiveness and they did not ask for it, for that would have meant for God to set aside his own law.

    Contrary to what the Devil had said by means of the serpent, God justly stuck to his law and sentenced Adam and Eve to death. He did not sentence them to everlasting life in a place of fiery torment; he sentenced them to what his law had stated, death.

    This meant that they must return to the place from which Adam had been taken, to the dust of the ground, thus to a state of nonexistence.

    A person’s assignment to nonexistence is not a reward for personal merit, as is taught in the religious doctrine of Nirvana. It is a punishment for willful disobedience to God’s law, willful sin.

    No, G-d freed Adam from Hell.

    Adam: 1. The first man in Hebrew tradition.

    2. Unregenerate human nature = Human frailty.

    The first man of the Bible who sinned in the Garden of Eden.

    Unregenerate: adj: Not regenerated: Not renewed in heart: Remaining or being at enmity with God:

    Unrepentant < Sounded a warning of what science could do if it became the mere servant of unregenerate human nature – Roy Lewis & Angus Maude. >

    That is why having been born once through Adam, Jesus said if we want to be born again and enter God's kingdom, we MUST be born again (John 3:3) spiritually next time John 1:12 & 13) ( - not naturally through Adam again), but of water and Spirit (John 3:5),for the way to the Father is through Jesus Christ.

    They are gone, returned to the earth, and exist nowhere except in the history of mankind. They will not be resurrected and they will never be in heaven.

    (Genesis 3:19) 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.”

    They ceased to exist thousands of years ago.

    (Genesis 3:19) 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.”

    Adam was not given a soul, but instead he became a soul when he was created:

    (Genesis 2:7) 7 And Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.

    When he died he became a dead soul:

    (Leviticus 21:11) 11 And he should not come to any dead soul. For his father and his mother he may not defile himself.

    *** Rbi8 Leviticus 21:11 ***

    Lit., “souls of one dead.” Heb., naph·shoth′, pl., followed by meth, “dead”; Gr., psy·khei′ followed by te·te·leu·te·kui′ai, the perfect participle of “decease,” combine to mean “soul deceased”; Sy, “soul of one dead”; Vg, “dead one.”

    There is no reason for Jehovah to remember Adam and Eve so that they may have a hope of resurrection because they sinned willfully. God does not remember the wicked.
