god created adam and eve and they had only 2 sons , how did the 2 sons reproduse?

Answer 1

Where did Cain get his wife? Adam “became father to sons and daughters.” (Genesis 5:4) So Cain took one of his sisters or perhaps one of his nieces as a wife. Later, God’s Law to the Israelites did not permit the marriage of a fleshly brother and sister.—Leviticus 18:9.

One might think that after the murder of Abel, only his guilty brother Cain and their parents, Adam and Eve, were left on the earth. However, Adam and Eve had a large family. According to Genesis 5:3, 4, Adam had a son named Seth. The account adds: “The days of Adam after his fathering Seth came to be eight hundred years. Meanwhile he became father to sons and daughters.” So Cain married his sister or perhaps one of his nieces. Since mankind was then so close to human perfection, such a marriage evidently did not pose the health risks that may imperil the offspring of such a union today.

Adam was cast out of Eden into an unsubdued earth that was cursed to produce thorns and thistles, there to sweat out an existence, harvesting the bitter fruits of his sin. Outside the garden, awaiting death, Adam fathered sons and daughters, the names of only three being preserved—Cain, Abel, and Seth. To all of his children Adam passed on hereditary sin and death, since he himself was sinful.—Ge 3:23; 4:1, 2, 25.

Consider, for example, the often-raised problem about Cain’s wife. At Genesis 4:1, 2 we read: “In time [Eve] gave birth to Cain and said: ‘I have produced a man with the aid of Jehovah.’ Later she again gave birth, to his brother Abel.” As is well known, Cain killed Abel; but after that, we read that Cain had a wife and children. (Genesis 4:17) If Adam and Eve had only two sons, where did Cain find his wife?

The solution lies in the fact that Adam and Eve had more than two children. According to the context, they had a large family. At Genesis 5:3 we read that Adam became father to another son named Seth and then, in the following verse, we read: “He became father to sons and daughters.” (Genesis 5:4) So Cain could have married one of his sisters or even one of his nieces. At that early stage of human history, when mankind was so close to perfection, such a marriage evidently did not pose the risks for the children of the union that it would today.


Seth may not have been the third child of Adam and Eve. According to Genesis 5:4, Adam had “sons and daughters,” some of whom may have been born before Seth. Seth is worthy of note because Noah, and through him the present-day race of mankind, descended from him, not from the murderous Cain. At the age of 105 years Seth became father to Enosh. Seth died at the age of 912 years.

Answer 2

The original Eve was from Africa so it's no wonder they called it: The Garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve were the first people. And they had children. But they were not alone on the planet. Two people cannot give birth to a race of humans on the earth. It's impossible. Obviously there were other humans here as well---unless their two sons had sex and by some great miracle of God, got pregnant and had children.
But you shouldn't always believe what you hear and read. Use common sense because the bible at times does not.

Answer 3

The Christian Bible dose not say that Adam and Eve only had two sons.... They, Adam and Eve, both lived several hundred years. At least for some of those years they could well have had hunreds of children.. As to how they reproduced... clearly there was intermarrage. Borthers and Sisters, Nieces and Uncles...and after time grandfathers and granddaughters etc etc........ The Law was not as it is now... I speak of Gods Law which covered this subject latter for The Nation of Israel. God did...in His time. end such practice.

Answer 4

The bible states that God created man (humanity, all the races) on the 6th day. Male and female. He blessed them and told them to multiply and fill the earth. Then, on the 7th day, He rested. Later.... in what many Christians today call 8th day creation.... God planted a garden but, saw there was no man to till the earth so, He made Adam, the first farmer. God brought to Adam many animals and Adam named them. These were the domestic animals we use today on farms and as beasts of burden. Wild aimals had been previously created on day 5.

When Cain killed Abel, Cain went to the land of Nod were he took a wife. He married a female who was a 6th day creation human.

Later, Adam and Eve had many children. One child, Seth, was to be the ancestor of Noah, who was the ancestor of David. From this lineage came Mary, mother of God. The reason for the lineage breakdown (the begatting) is to let us all know Christ's (for want of a better word) pedigree.

Answer 5

First of all, they had 3 sons. You may want to read the Bible prior to posting. Also, it never says they "only" had sons. They had daughters as well, and that was God's plan for the original reproduction. Same with Noah's family after the flood. Obviously incest is not longer an accepted practice, but at the time there was no alternative.

Answer 6

They had 3 sons Cain, Abel, and Seth. It says that when Adam and Eve left the garden they went into another city and there were people there. I have no idea where they came from. I guess only God knows.

Answer 7

The Bible says that Adam and Eve were the first created people - it does not say they were the only people. In fact, there is good reason to believe that there were other people around. Read Genesis and it talks of the sons of god finding the daughters of the sons of men pleasing and taking them for wives. The sons of God were the people who were aware of God, aware of their souls and a spiritual dimension to life. The others were people who were living outside of paradise, not conscious of God's presence and living only a biological, physical existence. IMHO.

Answer 8

Well, actually the Bible states that they had at least three sons by name (Cain, Abel, and Seth), and then had others...

"5:3 When Adam had lived 130 years he fathered a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and he named him Seth. 5:4 The length of time Adam lived after he became the father of Seth was 800 years; during this time he had other sons and daughters. 5:5 The entire lifetime10 of Adam was 930 years, and then he died." -- Genesis

Answer 9

They had many more than just the two sons. Three sons are mentioned by name (Cain, Adam, Seth) but they had other "sons and daughters" as well. Therefore, the sons must have married the daughters, which would not have been as bad then because there were not yet genetic mutations.

Answer 10

Adam & Eve were not the ONLY human beings created...evolution (creation) happened & does happen all over this world, not just in one place.How do you think the colors came to be? And do you honestly think that a great being having such fun making thousands of planets, millions of creatures & plants, artworks of every variety, would stop at only 2 people? Sorry, but our beloved God had a blast making lots of everything...and loves every bit of it!!!!

Answer 11

There is this book that has been around for many, many, many years it is called the bible. I am sure the very first chapters in it would explain to you that they had other children too, sons and daughters. If you would only just skim through the first couple of pages before coming up with your nonsense.
