Do you believe Adam and Eve had children before they sinned?

Question

God blessed them and said
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
If they did not obey this commandment, it would have been the first disobedience...So we can assume they obeyed and had children.
If so
1. does sin had any impact on these children?
2. Can we assume that as written in Gen 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. ..............the sons of God are the descendants of Adam and Eve before they sinned?
If you do not belive this hypothesis give reasons......

Answer 1

Adam and Eve did not have children before they sinned. Had they done so, the children would have been perfect and in no need of a ransom sacrifice. But the scriptures teach that their offspring do need a ransom sacrifice. Moreover, if they had children before they sinned, those children would be perfect and still alive today inasmuch as death is punishment for sin.

The giants, the men of renown, spoken of further along in Genesis are not the offspring of Adam and Eve, but rather, the offspring of angels that forsook their heavenly dwelling place, took on the form of human men and the women they married

Answer 2

What got them thrown out of Eden was the eating of the fruit. Gen 1:28 constitutes a blessing, not a commandment.....

As to the rest, there is a huge problem with this Adam being the first human and Eve being the second and them being the only ones, as after they had Cain and Able, those two went to someplace called the land of Nod for wives, and where did these humans come from? And if Adam and Eve and their sons were the sons of God and then there were also sons of men, where did these sons of men come from? And how about these giants? What brought that on?

I mean, it's a total mess. And as far as your sin question goes, the rule as been "In Adam's fall, we sinned all." That is, the sin of the father extends to all his descendants, namely all humans. This is called Original Sin.

Answer 3

Adam and Eve had Cain and Abel AFTER they were banished from the Garden of Eden. Genesis 4: 1-2.
The Curses that came upon the Human race, as a result of their disobedience, is listed in Genesis 3:14-24.
Along with these curses, Death came into the Human Race. Cain killed Abel. Genesis 4:8
There is a verse that says the sins of the parents are a curse upon the children. (I will have to get back with you on where that is.)
The sons of God were descendants of the godly line of Seth. The daughters of men were from the ungodly family of Cain. So it was considered intermarrying. Evil with Good which caused wickedness. (vs. 5)
ANGELS DO NOT marry. (Matthew 22:30, Mark 12:25)

Answer 4

Interesting theory. Not producing children on the spot can't be labeled as disobedience; they obeyed later on. We have to keep in mind the fact that Adam and Eve didn't know wrong until they ate the forbidden fruit.

The sons of God, though unlikely, could have been the Angels? God had cast out Adam and Eve so the only beings to which He gave life and which remained with Him were the Angels.

Satan could have tricked the Angels into sinning, bringing them to his side.

That's my opinion. I would elaborate on it, but I'm in a hurry.

Answer 5

The curse was placed upon all mankind, not only Adam and Eve, so the question of children before the fall is interesting, but does not in itself suggest a genetic loophole in the curse; the curse was upon ALL their children, all human flesh and also upon the world itself. A far better speculation is whether or not the Law of Entropy is an example of the curse.

The "sons of God" verse refers to angels, that is demons who interbred with human women as Paul himself confirms later in the NT. So no, they were not Adam's children. Also, while only just a few chapters away from Gen. 1, you want to realize that Genesis covers a very long period of time; we went from nothingness, to earth sea and light, to man and woman, to sin, to an entire civilization generations old with multiple cities and countries all in one book.

Hope this helps!

Answer 6

The truth is they could not sin because sin is not real. It is a misunderstanding of reality.

They ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This is a very different concept. In simple terms they started to practice judgment, that is they began judging some things as good and others as evil. This is what knowledge of good and evil means.

God never intended for them to do this. In fact he advised against it. Still this was the choice his children made so God provided a place for his children to experiment with the ideas of good and evil. A place called earth where they could also learn as much about love as possible. Here they can learn what love is and what it isn’t. Both are important because to understand completely what a thing is one also must understand what it is not.

Hint; love is not judgment. If you are judging someone worthy of being loved it is not love at all, it is only judgment. Think about it.

Answer 7

That's a good question, I guess it depends on how much time it took them before eating the "forbidden fruit".
So many people think that the first sin is about having sex, it shows that they never read the bible which is rather strange since so many of them claim to be religious.

About the sons of god, they might be angels whom lived with god (like Jesus before being sent to earth as a human being or like Satan before being destitute). This would explain why their offspring were giants.

Answer 8

actualy the disobedience of eating of the tree of knowlege was before the births of Abel an Cain and the Sons of god refered to were demons or Fallen Angels this can easily be determined by seeing the children of these sons of God were a new race of Giants not human at all.

Answer 9

Yes they probably did have more children. The main story that is retold is about AFTER eatting the apple, of Cain and Able. That doesn't mean there where no more children either before or after those 2. Besides we don't know what they did the rest of their lives. Just this one story, about this one part of their lives.

Answer 10

Do you still believe in Adan and Eve?
The world was scientifically proved.
There is a documentary also about that. I think it´s called The creation of the world or something. Try to download it from the E-donkey, its a free programm for downloading songs, movies, etc.
