why do so many people keep saying that adam and eve had only two sons ???

Question

Genesis 5:
1 This is the written account of Adam and his descendants. When
God created humans, he made them in the likeness of God. 2 He
created them male and female. He blessed them and called them
humans when he created them. 3 When Adam was 130 years old, he
became the father of a son in his own likeness, in his own
image. He named him Seth.4 After Adam became the father of
Seth, he lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 5
Adam lived a total of 930 years; then he died.
this is to show there were many more children.

10 Now, you kings, act wisely. Be warned, you rulers of the
earth! 11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, or he will become angry and you will die on
your way because his anger will burst into flames. Blessed is
everyone who takes refuge in him. A psalm by David when he fled
from his son Absalom. Now David new that it was Gods son to come it is psalm 2 and start talking of the massiah

Answer 1

They only read as far as Cain and Able. That account is after Cain killed able and was sent out to roam.

Answer 2

Because Bible always be updated from time to time, the pick up remain of Adams have only two sons, is different from the pick up of adams remain live and other children, that make it look as if they are just two , except you go extra lenght reading the whole genesis, secondly to made people see the pain when Cain kill Abel , how would you feel with just two kid and one kill other, and no more kids,
then those days people can really live long , even in North Africa till now people spend up to 200 years and a little above , so is not a surprise for the long life quote by the bible, and not necessary to be doubt since the scientist have not prove there remains.

Answer 3

whilst Cain killed Abel they threw him out of the backyard and he went out and located a spouse! Yours is a robust question because of the fact i think that there have been others previous the backyard in any different case Cain does not have been waiting to discover a spouse. Adam and Eve are purely the 1st 2 of their particular race, so the Bible is a historic previous e book of their human beings. the rest is a secret or yet another historic previous! What do you think of of that concept, something is on the industry. I do have self assurance in a bigger skill! Oh yeah and to the guy above who believes in evolution, i did no longer evolve from any monkey, I dont understand approximately you.

Answer 4

I think most people forget the part about how long Adam and Eve lived, and just assume they had only two sons, but the world had to produce from thier children , so we know there probley were lots more sons and daughters.

Answer 5

Very true, kind of hard to have descendant's from the only humans on earth with no women. at the very least there had to be a couple of girls. But really they had many children.

Answer 6

The genealogy of Adam is in the Word of God if people would only read it and see for them self.

Answer 7

so we are all related to a 930 year old guy. answer this then why do we all look so different, if we all have the same great x100 grand parents....just curious on how this occurs.

Answer 8

Lived 800 years without modern dentistry or medicine, sure I'll believe that as well.

Answer 9

Obviously your contention is correct, but the story focuses on the principle two.

Answer 10

Maybe they read only the part about Cain and Abel-
