Heaven or not?

A question to ponder: Did Adam and Eve go to heaven when they died?

There doesn't seem to be a clear biblical answer for this question. It seems to me that since they were new on this earth, and didn't have concept of sin perhaps, God might have given them a second chance. After all God is a God of second chances. And yet, they did not have the shed blood of Jesus Christ yet to depend on to save them from the damnation of hell.

But then I am not God and He declares in His Word that His thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways. Isahia 55:8-9

If, God created them with the ability to think and decide for themselves to sin or not, does that mean if they chose to sin, it was just too bad that since they did what God told them not to, they deserved whatever they got.

Or did His forgiveness reach down for them as it does for us?

On the other hand, God already knew what they would do, and so did that mean that he would give them a break?

I went to gotquestions.org to find what might be a clue to the question of where they spend eternity. Here is what it says:

Were Adam and Eve saved? The Bible does not specifically tell us whether Adam and Eve were saved. Adam and Eve were the only two human beings who knew about God before they became tainted with sin. As a result, they likely still knew God better after their fall than any of us do today. Adam and Eve most definitely believed in and depended on God. God continued to talk with Adam and Eve and provide for them after the fall. Adam and Eve knew of God’s promise that He would provide a Savior (Genesis 3:15). God made garments of skin for Adam and Eve after the fall (Genesis 3:21). Many scholars understand this as the first animal sacrifice, foreshadowing the eventual death of Christ on the cross for the sins of the world. Putting these facts together, it would seem that Adam and Eve were saved and did indeed go to heaven / paradise when they died.

It seems reasonable that God just did not give up on the first two people that He created. After all, He created them to have a relationship with Him. How sin effected their relationship is perhaps unknown in many ways. And yet it is interesting to know, as far as I am concerned. 

We ourselves are separated from Him until we truly repent of our own sin and are under the blood of Jesus. Thus, our second chance with Him.

But again, they did could not claim a second chance because Jesus had not shed His blood yet. 

Is there any other biblical evidence though that might help us figure out the answer to this question, or are we left to just wonder until we ourselves get to heaven and find the answer there?

We will take that up on 4/26 if you would like to see what I find. Better yet, you may want to look for it yourself. At any rate, I will be here that day to let you know more. That is if there is any that I can find. 

Thanks for coming. God bless you in this brand new week
