You can only go to hell after Jesus so they probably just suffered in Purgatory until then.

1st Corinthians 15:45
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 47The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

basically Jesus saves all of the sons of Adam including Adam

I am also ignorant of Phrenology, Astrology and Alchemy.

Can you guess why?

Someone who is totally ignorant of the king of sciences calling *someone else* pleb.

How can you tell if you aren't feeling up my head-lumps?

>>6659008
Probably not much. Pre-Christian Judaism did not have a very developed sense of the afterlife.

The soul went to Sheol, which was basically a neutral sort of place comparable to the Greek underworld.

please delete this image, it is very offensive to christianity

How autistic are you? What is it about the bible that triggers so many people into shitposting about how Christianity isn't real and not worth discussion but other works of fiction are embraced with open arms?

>>6659382
Endless Christposting tbh.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, friend.

>>6659064
Can you let me know when any of those fields produces a work of comparative literary value to the Bible?

>>6659439
Theology isn't the study of literary value.

it's the study of excuses for why there is no evidence for God, and assorted other hoops through which to jump.

>>6659439
there are lots of religious texts that prominently feature astrology. actually the bible does too.

they're all a crock of shit tho
including the bible of course

>>6659455
you can say the same thing about the study of anything

ITT People pissing on a thousand years of their own culture and traditions

>>6658935
"Christposting" is the worst meme ever. Augustine and Kierkegaard, among others, are some of the most important milestones in western philosophy, yet you can't start a thread about either without somebody yelling "christposting".

>>6659008
He was in the limbo of the patriarchs. Those were saved during the Harrowing of Hell

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the OP probably doesn't actually believe in the literal existence of Adam and Eve, but is rather asking a theoretical question about two characters portrayed in a piece of literature.

>>6659487
You people don't use philosophers the way they should be used. To regard any philosopher without skepticism is to be a dogmatist, a hater of wisdom.
People do the same thing with other philosophers, but Christians act like because their philosopher was important and was Christian it means they are correct. I got some news for you: most of the Greeks were Hellenists and they are even more important. The threads you Christians start about Kierkegaard and Augustine regard Christianity as fact, because their philosophies are based on it. But what makes those philosophers great are what they say that is universal.

>>6659628
Christian philosophers disagreed considerably with each other, and John Milbank is almost defined by his dislike of Duns Scotus. Come off it, ,m8

>>6659163
How can one apply to science what one applies to art in regards to time? Facts are eternal, art is eternal, but knowledge is ever changing. The legacy of science has nothing to do with the validity of it.

>>6659640
Then how come with Christians on /lit/, the mere existence of Christian philosophers is proof of god? The closest thing you get resembling an argument itself rather than namedropping a theologian or philosopher is someone posting that first way picture accompanied by some of the worst defenses of it imaginable. I know Christian philosophers disagreed with each other. J and P disagreed with each other. Yet Christianity itself is exempt from the rule that anything can be disagreed with, according to the shitposters.

>All these christfags' butthurt

>>6659640
>Tripfag in charge of understanding anything
>>6659628 was trying to say how christfag revere christian philosopher coz of their religion not whether other christian philosopher disagree with each other. The problem isn't Christians or Christainity, the problem is christposters being retarded on /lit/

Don't you mean MY board? You're all just my little roaches; little mice going through the elaborate maze I constructed.

i'm an atheist but i genuinely want an answer to OP's question because i'm curious

OP should have prefaced with "humor me for a moment:" and maybe this thread wouldn't have devolved into adolescent arguing.

>>6658939
this is a literature board, and the bible is literature. them being real doesn't matter. this is shitposting

>>6659756
>i'm an atheist but i genuinely want an answer to OP's question because i'm curious
>It being real doesn't matter

You're right anon, your comment is shitposting.

Adam and eve were most likely in the good side of sheol until jesus came and preached to those imprisoned there.

Adam and while the first sinners, also still worshipped the Lord and taught their children to worship the Lord.

So they were most likely saved by Christ.

"Bosom of Abraham" and all that.

>>6658935
There is no hell, is an idea from the Christian Theology, but let's pretend it's real, along with Adam and Eva, they probabily went to Paradise considering Dante put Adam in Paradise in his Divine Comedy, so this makes me thing that at least in the middle ages they were considered to have their place in Paradise.

No, mankind's suffering as well as a separation from God was their punishment.

They believed what they were doing was, in some way, virtuous. They did not reject their father, one will only go to Hell if they reject God.

>>6659163
>theology is king of sciences

Did Hell even exist in Genesis? I thought they were just turned to the "dust from which they came."

Read Kant.

if god kills himself does he go to hell?

>>6660725
I have, read history you illiterate brat.

>>6660729
No. His immortality is necessary to existence and he certainly can't be confined within part of his own creation.

>>6661070
>omnipotent
>can't kill himself
why are christians so retarded

From what he said, we can conclude that nowhere near the actual ontology is the truth. Creating and building their truth is a form of fallacy that can not be avoided. Therefore it is true. I don't see why not.

>>6661081
Anon never said he couldn't

He said that god couldn't be trapped by a lesser creation and that if he died hell would cease to exist anyway

I'm not even a christfag, step it up retard

Can God divide by zero?

>>6658935

Since Adam and Eve brought Death into the world and that means no Death before God exiled them from the Garden of Eden does that mean Adam or Eve is Death?

>>6661103
No, because animals and plants could die prior to that

Adam and Eve just introduced it to mankind

>>6660729
Christ went to hell when he died, so yeah.

>>6661119
Yeah they do. It is in their nature to think of themselves as lesser beings. Your relativism sucks. Go read Aristotle you fucking degenerate. Do you not see the correlation between the real world and most of Him? They're everywhere. They're watching me.
Bling bling here's the Taliban. I want mods to do a little ban ban.

Wait a second. I just realized that this is not funny. I can't make fun of this. Especially not the little children. They're innocent. I'll stop now. God blows you all.

My cream is my shit. I like to eat it so take this post and well... It's a shitpost. How do we crap even more? How do we take a massive amount of dump and trow it on a pile of dump that you already created here? Tough to answer.
