From the description of what Eden looked like I think it was the true paradise. Though revelations gave a non matching account of what the true paradise is like.

I wonder what you mean by true paradise. Eden is a garden planted by God, I don't get the paradise part.

Yes it was a true paradise. The first murder was committed after Adam and Eve were driven from the Garden of Eden.

Eden is truly a paradise on earth and the murder took place after their banishment

Having plenty of food and not having to work for anything would for sure be some form of paradise.

Yes, Eden was indeed a true paradise. They had access to everything they need to survive and to top it off, they had access to God directly, not his messengers or prophets, God himself.

Ever wondered what it'll feel like to know that everything you'll ever need can be made a reality just by thinking and speaking about them? This was the life Adam and Eve Lived.

I always wondered how beautiful Eden must have been, the narrative of the garden in the Bible takes me on a journey every time I think about it. The nice trees, serene environment, water bodies and so much more.

As it was described and with the view I had in mind, I do find that it is a true paradise.

Eden was definitely meant to have been a true paradise but I'm not sure what murder is being referred to as none happened there.

Eden was a true paradise but only for those who didn't want to learn new things or grow it was a place for a father to protect his son from the harshness of the world
