In the bibble,ADAM and EVE had only 2 kids, true..?

Question

how did we come about and they were both boys and 1 killed the other??????

Answer 1

They had three kids all boys, one killed another, thus leaving two boys. Lets even assume that they had girls that were never mentioned. Than how did that develop into more people. It would be like dude your banging your sister.

Answer 2

Reflecting a patriarchal (male) culture of the Jews, the Old Testament section of the Bible mainly records when people have sons, rather than daughters. So it records Cain and Able (the two boys you referred to), as well as another son Seth (see Genesis 4:25 & 5:3) but doesn't record that they had daughters, though this would certainly have been the case. You might think it a little incestuous that they would marry their sisters, but laws against incest only came hundreds of years later once God gave the law to Moses. Genetically people were far superior then than they are today (indicated by the old ages people lived to - see Genesis 5:3-11), so intermarrying would not have caused the abnormalities it would today.

Answer 3

The Bible does not give us a specific number. Adam and Eve had Cain (Genesis 4:1), Abel (Genesis 4:2), Seth (Genesis 4:25), and many other sons and daughters (Genesis 5:4). With likely hundreds of years of child-bearing capability, Adam and Eve likely had 50+ children in their lifetime

Answer 4

I actually never believe in the Adam and Eve story, think about it, It's all incest. The boys would have to had sex with Eve, who than had more children, those children would've had sex with each other and so on.... But remember Adam was supposedly with Lilth before Eve was created, so it's possible Adam and Lilth could've had a child and that child could've been a girl so she could've had sex with Adam's and Eve's sons, but either way it's still incest since Adam's and Lilth's child is a half sibling to Adam's and Eve's children. Whoever wrote that had to have been thinking 'Wow maybe if I write this I can convince that sister of mine to have sex with me since it's in the bible'.

Answer 5

According the Bible, Adam and Eve had another son ,Seth,(Genesis 4:25), after which they begat numerous other sons and daughters,(Genesis 5:4), until he died at the age of 930.(wow, they really believed in healthy living in those days!!! )

Also, after Cain was banished by the Lord, he went out and lived in the land of Nod (sleepy, much) and got married (to lord knows whom) and had a son named E'noch (Genesis 4:16-17).

Also Seth and E'noch got married (not to each other though)
and had other children (Genesis 4:18, 5:6).

Who they got married to is another matter, maybe their mothers (ew, incest)

Answer 6

Gen 1:26
"And God said, Let Us make man in our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."

"Let us make man" means let Us make people, thus meaning that Adam and Eve were not the only people on earth. Adam and Eve were only the first of the people that God created. The word "man" is used within the context of generalization and indicates that it refers to many people and not specific persons.

Answer 7

It only names three children that Adam and Eve had..However, there already HAD to be other people. When Cain was banished to the Land of Nod, he was worried that the people there would kill him....

Answer 8

Yes, this is where it gets really contradictory. I'm not an expert but I think both of the brothers got married before one killed the other. There was supposed to be some other race that they married. Something like that.

Answer 9

Not true..i ve read that eachtime EVE gives birth for one boy and one girl..but these twins never get married..A boy and a girl from different births were allowed to marry.

Answer 10

not true Eve had some other sons. Caine was the one who killed the brother and he got cursed.
