亚当和夏娃上天堂了吗?/ Were Adam and Eve in heaven now?

按照圣经的记述,人类之所以现在受到种种惩罚,都是因为亚当和夏娃在蛇的诱惑下偷吃了禁果。
According to Bible, the reason that why human beings are being punished nowadays is that Adam and Eve ate fruit "from the tree of knowledge of good and evil", with the lure of snake.

所以上帝不仅惩罚人类和蛇,而且诅咒了土地(是否有点过份了呢?)。
So God not only punished human beings and snake, but also curse the earth. (It seems to be too much for me.)

但是不知道亚当和夏娃最后是否进入天堂了呢?好像圣经里没有说,可是我很想知道这两个“祸根”是否能通过上帝的审判进入天堂~~~
But don't know if Adam and Eve went to heaven finally, not mentioned in Bible at least. But I really want to know if these two "banes" are qualified to enter the heaven~~~

圣经和中国人有什么关系?/ Bible: What's the business of Chinese people?

我不记得《圣经》里提到了中国人,或者亚洲人。好像上帝根据他的样子创造的人里面没有亚洲人,是这样的吗?
I don't remember there's a word about Chinese people, or Asian people. It seems that God created human bing according his own figures, which didn't include Asian people. Is it true?

有人说,在中国的甲骨文里,“罪”字的写法就像是包含了两棵树,一棵是生命树,另一棵是善恶树,是这样的吗?
Well, someone said, the word "evil" has two trees, one is "the tree of life", the other one is "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Is it true?

神为什么不要人知道善恶?/ Why God didn't want human being have the sense of "good" and "evil"?

神对亚当和夏娃说不能吃善恶树上的果子,也不能碰,否则便会死。
And the Lord God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."

人应该明白善与恶,这样才能趋善避恶,这世界上的许多恶事才能避免。所以能够明辩善恶是件好事啊,上帝为什么要阻止人这样做呢?他怕什么呢?
Human should understand what "good" and "evil" are, so they can follow "good" things and keep themselves away from "evil". And then so many "evil" things in the world wouldn't have happened. So it's good for human to get the knowledge of this. Why would God prevent human from knowing it? What was he afraid of?

世界是神创造的吗?/ Was the world created by God?

创世纪里说神按以下次序创造了:
In Genesis, it's said God created the heavens and the earth and anything else in this order:
  1. 天地 / heavens and earth
  2. 水(未明确说明) / water (implicit)
  3. 光 / light
  4. 昼夜 / day and night
  5. 空气 / expanse (Is this air?)
  6. 地(特指土地) / land
  7. 植物 / vegetation
  8. 大光(太阳) / greater light
  9. 小光(月亮)/ lesser light
  10. 众星 / stars
  11. 动物 / living creatures
  12. ...
  13. 人 / man
那就是说神是先造的地球,然后是日月,然后是众星。不过,以近日的新闻来说,远在太阳、地球诞生之前,已经有其它星体死去了:
So it means God created the earth, then the sun and the moon, then other stars. But, with the latest news, some stars already dead before sun, moon and earth. Please follow the links below.
