Since Adam and Eve brought sin in the world, did they go to heaven?
Genesis 3:1 - 24
ESV - 1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God actually say, 'You shall not eat of any tree in the garden'? 2 And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden.

There is no specific indication in the Word of God, whether or not Adam and Eve went to heaven when they died. However, I believe that the blood of Jesus Christ made atonement for their sins. The Bible speaks about the Lamb of God that was slain from the foundation of the world. See Revelation 13:8 I believe that Adam and Eve obtained mercy from God and are in His presence.

Acts 2:23, 24: "Him (Jesus) being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God." I use this verse to prove that God has "foreknowledge." 1 Peter 1:20: "He (Jesus) was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you." Manifest = to shine the light on, to make clear, to make known. Romans 3:25: (Jesus) "whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus." Notice passed over sins previously committed. Notice the justifier. God's habit was to enjoy walking and communing with Adam and Eve in the garden. But then.... One day, they were "hiding" (or they thought that they were) from God! (Can we really hide from God?) God already knew what they had done. He knew all of their nakedness! He made them! He knew they might stumble. He gave them free will! But, did they know Jesus? After all, Jesus is God. God never compromises His righteousness! He always was and always will be righteous! Genesis 3:21: "Also for Adam and his wife the LORD God made tunics of skin, and clothed them." And so, you say. LORD spelled in CAPS is a reference to Jesus! Who else would give a blood sacrifice! A divinely provided garment! Revelation 19:8: "And to her (the church) it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints"(the believers). Did Adam and Eve believe in Jesus/God? They knew Him, they understood Him! They were young, inexperienced...dare I say innocent...maybe stupid? LORD in Exodus 34:6: "And the LORD passed before him and proclaimed, 'The LORD, the LORD god, merciful and gracious." Exodus 33:19: God uses His goodness and mercy whenever and wherever He chooses! Genesis 1:27, 28, Adam and Eve, the first "children," knew God personally. In Genesis chapter 2 they confronted their first choice! They chose the wrong answer. Conscience was born! All humans have choice! Anyway, one day I look forward to having tea and chatting with Adam and Eve about what it must have been like to be in that glorious garden! My God, My Jesus, My Holy Spirit with me and every other believer every day is awesome!
