Adam and Eve?

Question

Its wrong for a brother and a sister to have children in Gods Eyes so how did that work for Adam and Eves children

Answer 1

The Bible record does indicate that Cain married one of his sisters (Gen. 4:17; 5:4) and that Abram married his half sister. (Gen. 20:12) But later, in the Law given through Moses, such marriage unions were specifically forbidden. (Lev. 18:9, 11) They are not permitted among Christians today. Marriage to a close relative results in a more-than-average probability that damaging hereditary factors will be passed on to their offspring.

Why was brother-and-sister marriage not inappropriate at the beginning of mankind’s history? God created Adam and Eve perfect and purposed that all humankind descend from them. (Gen. 1:28; 3:20) Obviously some marrying of close relatives, especially within the first few generations, would occur. Even after sin made its appearance, there was relatively little danger of marked deformities in the children during early generations, because the human race was much closer to the perfection that had been enjoyed by Adam and Eve. This is attested to by the longevity of people then. (See Genesis 5:3-8; 25:7.)

But about 2,500 years after Adam became a sinner, God prohibited incestuous marriage. This served to safeguard the offspring and it elevated the sexual morality of Jehovah’s servants above that of people around them who were then engaging in all manner of depraved practices.—See Leviticus 18:2-18.

Answer 2

If the first 2 human beings were both male, it can make the bible even extra absurd. God did not write the bible, adult males wrote the bible, and it develop into all politically ideal for the day. With Adam and Eve we are all a bunch or inbreds via the indisputable fact that's, yet with Adam and Steve, umm yeah, till Steve had a womb, which negates the gay rights activists element.

Answer 3

They could do it for a short time then, but not now

God's word is timeless.

Pick one and stick to it.

Answer 4

strangely enough the bible talks about the sons of God having relations with human whether that was angels I do not know
1 When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

Answer 5

the answer is yes it is wrong to have sex with your brother/sister. in the animal kingdom that is called in breeding and creates a weaker offspring with defects. in the OT you were to stay in the same family line meaning cousins were okay for mates. but now even second cousins can cause children to be born retarded.

Answer 6

I feel that there had to be others out there that were not talked about. When Cain left after killing his brother, he traveled outside the area tht we were taught about. There had to be others, because he was afraid of being killed by them.That is why God left a mark on him to protect him.

Answer 7

once society was like that. group sex was there. now its changed to family system for survival of society. so genetics come in the way. to reduce weakness of humanity, sex for reproduction among siblings banned by us.

Answer 8

since there wasnt the amount of sin back then as it is now, they were allowed to do it to populate the earth, but only for a short time.
