Adam is considered a saint by Eastern, not Western, Christianity. According to the Eastern Orthodox Church, a saint is whosoever may be found among Heaven's population. A heavenly saint may not be recognized as such on earth. But the fact of his existence on earth and residence now in heaven makes Adam a saint in the eyes of Eastern Orthodoxy.


AnswerAccording to Genesis, Adam committed the greatest sin in the history of the world, when he ate the forbidden fruit. Puzzlingly, in spite of this, Christianity regards him as a saint, and Jesus has been referred to as the second Adam. Perhaps this is because, after the story of Adam and Even being cast out of the Garden of Eden, The Bible is unfailingly positive about Adam.
