Original sin -A blessing in disguise ?

[youngsterat16]

Now the position after the sin:
Labour pain(3-16),hardwork(mentioned above),Death pain and suffering(implied).However God was always with us guiding and showering upon us his grace.I need not quote any verse no.for this.We got opportunities to know more about him.We understood the extent of his love to mankind as he sent his son for redeeming us from sin.He promised us eternal life in heaven (J14:1-3)
**In respect of the situation of Eden life without death vs present life with death but with the promise of heaven ,the latter wins hands down **. Adam’s 'sin ’ thus produced only good resulted making it not a sin atall.Am I still making any wild imagination ?

He would not have had to send His Son had we not sinned. God would always be with us regardless. You have no idea that we have more opportunities to know about him than we would without sin. God created us in His image. We’d still be able to connect and come to know him whether or not Adam and Eve hadnt sinned.

LIFE without Death. why is that not better that a life with death and a promise of heaven that is not guarenteed if we SIN. Judgment day still comes and there is a Hell. A place where poor souls will go if they had not lived in a way that glorifies God. If they sin and do not repent. the "Life without Deat"h means heaven. That is a definition of Heaven. "life with an earthly death, Promise of heaven, but a possible Permanent death in Hell is definitely not the better solution.

Genesis 1: 27 gives the foundation or reason that Adam is destined for heaven provided that he remain in relationship with the Divine Creator.

It is Genesis 2: 15 where Adam is given the work to cultivate and care for the Garden.

Genesis 2: 16-17 explains the requirement of obedience to the Divine Creator.

Genesis 3: 8-12 is where Adam acknowledges his disobedience against the Divine Creator.

It is Genesis 3: 8 where Adam acknowledges that his Original Sin broke his normal relationship with God. Hiding from God is what happened when Adam committed the Original Sin. Hiding from God means that Adam knows that he freely chose to abandon his friendship relationship with the Divine Creator.

Genesis 3: 24 is interesting because Eden is closed; yet Adam and Eve remain in the image of God.

Genesis 3: 14-19 is interesting because Genesis 3: 15 is interpreted as a promise of a Redeemer. Therefore, Adam must still be in the image of God. Being in the image of God means that it is possible, in the State of Original Holiness, aka State of Sanctifying Grace, that Adam can go to Heaven. Adam’s real blessing–no disguise needed --is that being in the image of God means that he can choose the real Heaven, the real Beatific Vision. Heaven is open to Adam from the first moment of his existence in the image of God.

Genesis 1: 27 is evidence (in the image of God) that it is possible for Adam and any human in the Garden to be with God in heaven forever because the Beatific Vision is forever.

Some interpretors of the bible find it difficult to accept the simple and direct meaning of the verses and views based on them , and try to import new and complicated words and phrases to oppose such views and present certain arguments claiming to be based on some verses which actually will not have any connection with the subject,at least directly and even indirectly also in some case.Ex:

2-15 appears to have been quoted to say that Adam was not sitting lazy but had some work(cultivation).As already pointed out by somebody in a post in this thread, based on the original word it is only guarding and care and not any actual cultivation .Moreover, considering that God provided every thing in Eden for Adam,his having to cultivate,wait for harvesting to feed upon etc.not probable.
1-27:There is not even an indirect evidence or hint here on what is said .‘Beatific vision’ etc:If can’t convince, aleast confuse principle?
