Ok, we know that someone in their sinful state cannot enter Heaven.{Unless they accept the salvation plan.}We also know that God is no respecter of persons.Now Adam and Eve fell from grace.That means their bodies were in their same sinful state as their descendants_us!!Yet on most Christian forums, when asked this question,overwhelmingly the answer is,Adam and Eve went to Heaven upon death.{Which, if they didn't repent, would override Gods edict about sin can't enter Heaven, and worse, make it look like God is playing favorites by giving them a special break.}Also, the point that God "overlooked" because they didn't have the knowledge doesn't apply, because God clearly told them not to do that.I say, it depends on if they acknowledged and repented of the sin,and turned back to Gods way,they went to Heaven.But I don't think we should AUTOMATICLLY say they went to Heaven,like 99% of Christians believe.If there's a scripture to show that Adam and Eve repented, that would be proof that they went to Heaven. If there's no statement one way or the other, by proclaiming they went to Heaven is just our opinion.
