Death and What Happens When We DieThe Bible makes it clear that God did not originally intend for humans to die. He created the first human pair, Adam and Eve, placed them in the Earth Paradise called Eden, and instructed them to have children and extend their paradise home earth wide. They would die only if they disobeyed His instructions. Genesis 1:28, Genesis 2: 15-17By: Truvella
