Has Adam and Eve been forgiven the trauma in the flesh? For the wound is not superficial.

Certainly. Why would you think that this trauma, now corrected through the salvific action of Christ’s death and resurrection, has NOT been forgiven?
 
It’s the church’s tradition that they are saints in heaven, among the other old testament saints.
 
They are, or at least Adam commonly is, often imagined as having gone to heaven after a long stay in the Limbo of the Fathers, but to my knowledge this is simply speculation and we really don’t know.
 
My calendar lists Saints Adam and Eve on Christmas Eve. The second Reading for the Office of Readings - LOTH - for Holy Saturday is an ancient sermon which describes Jesus seeking out Adam in the Limbo Ancients [Where OT souls awaited the opening of Heaven]. Adam then accompanies Him in leading the souls to Heaven.

The Eastern Churches may have something on this. You might try asking on that forum.

I don’t think that they were not forgiven, but many do.

“Many” people think Elvis Presley is still alive. . .(No, I’m not one of them).

You can only point people toward the Church for answers; hopefully they’ll be open to hearing them.

So if the Church sees that those who originally permitted sin to come into the world, and all sons and daughters of man are born into the world in the condition of sin, are forgiven. Then why does the Church seem to spend so much effort to point out sins in the world? If all who are born into the world of original sin then who’s fault is that?

I understand your point, but I don’t think Limbo theology proves much of anything. Jesus told the thief on the cross that He would see him in paradise, that’s sufficient for me on that.

No, you point people to Jesus, then they will seek out to share in their new found salvation in Christ, in a Church. The Church is not the attraction, it is the Lord Jesus Christ, that is the attraction. To know the Lord God, is the attraction.

Ah, but you see, “Where Christ is, there is the Catholic Church”. (St. Ignatius, about AD 96 I believe).

The Church contains all Truth because Christ is in Her and She in Him. Since you aren’t Catholic you might not understand this, but this is a Catholic site. We were discussing Adam and Eve, so please don’t try to tell us ‘what to do’ as if (on a Catholic site) our adherence to Catholic teachings is wrong. It isn’t. Thank you.

No, if you want to be closed minded, then you have no need to talk to anyone but a Catholic as though only Catholics can know God. Your statement by the way, is a huge arrogant assumption on your part, looking at none-Catholics as lesser beings. I don’t have to be Catholic to know the Lord my God through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit. Since when do Catholic have the power to control that? It is strictly in your view that one has to be Catholic.

Therefore don’t have a site that is open to the public if you don’t want to hear what others have to say that doesn’t agree with you or meet your approval. Since when do Catholic have the power to control that? Your arrogant approval for the Knowledge of God, is not required.

Your Welcome

Yours is the ‘assumption’ friend. I do not choose to take what you have incorrectly attributed to me as ‘arrogance’, nor did I call non-Catholics lesser beings.

You’re ‘welcome’ to post here, but it might behoove you to exercise less ‘assuming’ and condemnation of others.
