Trying to figure this out .
Satan and a bunch of other angels were already in heaven , so if Adam and Eve were the first on earth , then were did satan and the other angels come from ?
Somebody had to die to get to heaven , right ?
Kenneth
Angels are different kind of beings without our mortal bodies of flesh and blood.
In the book of Job, even Satan still had access to speak to God. He at least visited heaven and said that he was traveling earth. It seems that both fallen angels and God's elect army can go back and forth and in between.
Whereas, a human who trusts in his own goodness to get to heaven goes immediately to hell, but after this the judgement.
IF one changes their mind, they will never die and go to hell. The old mortal body is left behind. The eternal soul and live spirit goes to the Lord. He will be given a new glorified body.
"We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord'.
II Corinthians
