God created Adam and Eve and placed them in Paradise where they would be completely happy and not be subject to death.
Then Adam and Eve committed the original offense of eating the fruit of the forbidden tree; so God threw them out and loaded them with all the miseries and death that we are all now subject to.
After some time God sent His Son in the human flesh to redeem man, by dying on the cross to satisfy the sense of offended justice from the part of God, His Father.
Now, my question: that paradise in Genesis, is that a stage to heaven of Christians, or is it distinct from the heaven of Christians. Now if it is distinct, is it an afterthought of God, so that God had some kind of a disappointment with the paradise experiment, and then in substitute put up heaven instead.
All you guys who are good in Christian doctrines, please fill in my need for knowledge of the Christian faith - paging specially Polycarp.
