[quote author=Ihedinobi3 post=101032190]Is that so? Do you mean in a metaphorical sense?

Is that then what you meant? That God punished Adam and Eve with working for a living until the end of their physical lives and that He limited the length of their physical lives is the eternal punishment you were referring to?
According to the aforementioned verse I believe that the punishment was not just, extremely severe, because the progeny of Adam and Eve up till date are still suffering the consequences of Adam and Eve's sin.

Gaggii:
Since Allah already knows who will make heaven and hell, what is the essence of sending the prophet

So as for those who disbelieve not to have an excuse of not receiving guidance

Gaggii:
Why do Muslims stand side by side during salat

Firstly: because we are commanded to do so.
Secondly: it promotes unity and ones, there is no difference between a president and his subject or a black and white before Allah every one is equal

Ihedinobi3:
It was that punishment listed out in those verses that you referred to as eternal? Sorry, do you know what the word, eternal, means?

To the best of my knowledge the word eternal can also be used for something that covers a lengthy period of time

Which their generation till date suffers from right.

Ihedinobi3:
16 To the woman He said:
“I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;
In pain you shall bring forth children;
Your desire shall be for your husband,
And he shall rule over you.”
17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:
“Cursed is the ground for your sake;
In toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you,
And you shall eat the herb of the field.
19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
For dust you are,
And to dust you shall return.”
Genesis 3:16-19 (NKJV)

There's the passage. I'm afraid I don't see this eternal punishment you speak of. Which part of it do you mean?

I believe these were the punishment meted out to Adam and Eve according to the bible's claim for disobedience

Ihedinobi3:
Hello.

All what punishment, please? I don't understand your response.

The eternal punishment of Genesis 3 : 16- 19

Gaggii:
Muslims believe Christian will not make al janah, Christian's believe Muslims will not make paradise.

The funniest part is that the two religion is against logic.

They just want you to believe without using your brain.

It is better to just ignores religion and just believe in existence of God.

You don't need religion to tell you what is good or bad. Common sense will tell you is bad to rape, to steal, to kill e.t.c.
What you don't want someone to do to you, don't do to others

Not true, Islam is very logical

We could as well say that the Christian God not been merciful on Adam and Eve didn't also act justly
More like sentencing criminal to life imprisonment for something petty

Ihedinobi3:
Hi there.

I'm not sure what answers you need since you appear to have given yourself one already.

I have not read any part of the Bible that teaches or even suggests that God might not have forgiven Adam and Eve.

In fact, God not only promised them and their children a Savior (the very one He later gave us in Jesus Christ), but He also made the first animal sacrifice for them in the Garden of Eden to show them how anyone who wanted to be saved from the Second Death that is due to all rebels against God can be saved. And they accepted that sacrifice themselves and were thus saved by it.

15 And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her seed;
He shall bruise you on the head,
And you shall bruise him on the heel.”
Genesis 3:15 (NASB)

21 The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.
Genesis 3:21 (NASB)

I would say that God went above and beyond in mercy in this matter. What was due to Adam and Eve was death in all its ramifications: that is, alienation from God plus the end of their physical lives and every opportunity to choose again what their attitude to God should be plus the Second Death, eternal punishment for their rebellion against God.

But that is not what they suffered. They were driven from Eden and condemned to a less than perfect physical existence. But they were kept alive to continue making choices about God and to teach their children to do the same. They were even reconciled to God through the Promise and the Hope that the sacrifice in the Garden symbolized. And we have no reason in the Bible to believe that they are not with God right now in eternity.

So, you might need to explain where you got the idea that God did not have mercy on them.

Cheers.

All this punishment just for eating from what they were forbidden from
