    Just thinking...if people are created on earth, and spend their lives waiting to go to heaven, why doesn't God just put people in heaven to start with? I mean if it's such a better place, wouldn't that make more sense? There has to be a purpose for humans being put on this planet. Think about it...if God's original purpose was for people to be in heaven, why did he put the first two humans on earth? Adam and Eve were created immortal, they were never supposed to die and go anywhere else. If they had never sinned, then Jesus' ransom would have never taken place. What would be happening now if that was the case? Death and humans going to heaven was not part of God's original plan...so what was/is it, since God doesn't change?

    There is no purpose for humans being on earth except to create more humans. Same reason fish or birds are here. To create more fish and birds.

    Answer--there would have only been Adam and Eve---oh yea and a few critters, kinda boring though as none of them eat, or chase each other, just kinda stand around looking at each other,

    The quick short answer. The purpose is to experience LIFE.

    We're still paying for the Original Sin...You have to earn the trip to Heaven.
    I'm not even a Christian and I know that.

    Well. In the simplest terms, kinda. It's not a guarantee but there is a guaranteed way to get there and that's through Christ.

    Mankind's fall and redemption in Christ was always the plan. There is no plan B. Ephesians 1:3-14

    Just because you can't see me Sota doesn't make me invisible. Furthermore stop repeating what I say to the masses. I can't afford to start another cult this close to season.
