Was i in heaven before i was born?

Update:

Because if i did not come from heaven then why do people say that after you die it is like before you were born and my parents told me i was their gift from heaven so does that mean every thing that they ever told me is a lie!!!

Update 2:

    In Christianity some may say yes and others may say no. They think the soul is created along with the body.

    But bhagavad gita says that we, the soul, are eternal, always existing. Therefore, we were with God before come to this material world. But when, we don't know. May be trillions, quadrillions of life times ago.

    BG 2.11: The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: While speaking learned words, you are mourning for what is not worthy of grief. Those who are wise lament neither for the living nor for the dead.

    BG 2.12: Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be.

    BG 2.13: As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.

    BG 2.20: For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.

    BG 2.22: As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones.

    BG 2.23: The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind.

    BG 2.24: This individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. He is everlasting, present everywhere, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same.

    BG 2.25: It is said that the soul is invisible, inconceivable and immutable. Knowing this, you should not grieve for the body.

    He who is forgetful of the Self, mistaking the physical body for it, and goes through innumerable births, is like one who wanders all over the world in a dream. Thus, realizing the Self would only be like waking up from the dream­wanderings.

    There is a small Christ in all of us that comes from Heaven and give us life. We must feed our Christ to make him as big as the Christ that was in Jesus.

    Yes your spirit was in heaven before you were sent here.

    Part of your consciousness probably was we do not understand consciousness yet science is still trying to prove it is locked in the skull the sooner they get over this the sooner we can move forward.

    No that is not biblical in the least. There simply was no "you" before you were conceived.

    No. You were created in the womb according to the Bible.
