Is the garden of Eden the same as paradise? If so then was it never on earth...

There is a duality here that needs some revelation. Jesus speaks of "heaven" over 70 times in scripture and only of "paradise" twice. Does not even Jesus know the difference?
There is no other mention of what this difference is in the BIble. We cannot ever know this side of "paradise".
However, we know that God resides in heaven where there is no sin. This WAS the Garden of Eden and this was heaven on earth where man/woman were created to live.
Mankind sinned against God and was cast out of heaven. (same with satan)
The Garden (heaven) has been closed off to us while we live in the flesh. But the truth of Scripture is not of us "going to heaven". The reality of Scripture goes beyond this to what Jesus proved to us - the Resurrection.
Our goal is to not be dead in heaven. Our goal is to be resurrected into new life with a glorified body (new flesh!) that will be a sinless creation (re-creation) by the Holy Spirit. In this resurrection, we will be allowed back into the Garden of Eden (heaven) which God originally created for us.
It is ON the earth that we will know eternity. Not "out there" somewhere.
Read the Bible again.
This all fits.
(what's the point of the Earth if no one's going to be here?)
 
...or in heaven? When it talks in Genesis and the rest of the bible about the garden of Eden it doesn't say earth but ground. Paradise of Elohim is the same as Eden. Yahweh Elohim planted a garden in east of Eden were Adam and eve was at until they fell from sin and land on now were the mt. of olives is today. Yahshua the messiah is the second Adam that will land with no sin in him as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Starting of the kingdom of Yahweh on earth.
 
was in earth.....according to the bible....and is the paradise

Genesis 2:10 Now there was a river issuing out of E′den to water the garden, and from there it began to be parted and it became, as it were, four heads.

11Â*The first one’s name is Pi′shon; it is the one encircling the entire land of Hav′i·lah, where there is gold.

12Â*And the gold of that land is good. There also are the bdellium gum and the onyx stone.

13Â*And the name of the second river is Gi′hon; it is the one encircling the entire land of Cush.

14Â*And the name of the third river is Hid′de·kel; it is the one going to the east of As·syr′i·a. And the fourth river is the Eu·phra′tes.
