Where did the other family that Adam and Eve's children married come from?

Have you ever heard the word allegory.
Allegory is a form of extended metaphor, in which objects, persons, and actions in a narrative, are equated with the meanings that lie outside the narrative itself. The underlying meaning has moral, social, religious, or political significance, and characters are often personifications of abstract ideas as charity, greed, or envy.
Thus an allegory is a story with two meanings, a literal meaning and a symbolic meaning.

First, the Law had not yet been given, so intermarriage was not illegal to Adam and Eve's kids (murder, as with Cain and Abel, was an infelt wrong that God warned Cain about in advance).

Second, there are some who assume or theorize a dual line of development--evolutionary line and a directly God-Created line, which then married into previously existing humanity. Adam was the one who gave the human race its soul. Interestingly, there was a couple of psychology reports a few decades ago where some came to a conclusion that there was some sort of mental switch that somehow got tripped about 6-8 thousand years ago, that indications of consciousness, imagination, and such sort of suddenly started.

I subscribe to the first, but the second was interesting.

I totally despair of this world as a) someone actually asked this question and b) morons have replied with an even more ridiculous grasp of Christianity's ideas. Incest was allowed before the word of God? Really? What planet are you on? For pity's sake why don't you club together and buy a book. Nothing fancy, See Spot Run would be an excellent starting point. You can work your way up to the adult stuff and independent thought.To the person who wrote about allegories, I thank God for people like you. You are wasted on this question, like pearls before swine. Cat, pigeons, moi?

Adam and Eve were here a long time before Christ.
Christianity is only 2000 years old so they had no say in who could marry in Adam's time.
They obviously had incest to carry on the human race. God the father gave his OK.
Of course that's according to what I've read in the bible.
Believing it is something else.

Christianity did not come into existence until approximately 2000 years ago. Marriage between brothers and sisters has been forbidden since Moses time, which was about 5000+- years ago. Prior to God giving the law to Moses, brothers and sisters did marry, but there was no law to tell them that this was not right. Without a law, there is no lawbreaking. Consequently, it was not wrong to marry your brother or sister at that time.

sometimes it doesn't pay to be too technical.
there obviously weren't any people around
to marry them. Personally i think there may have been other
people around at the time of A&E.
Even if this were true and there was a beginning based
on unhealthy genetic combinations, most of us seem
to have done OK!!
as a Christian, I know that it is the spirit which is much
much more important than the flesh anyway.
u may have read.....flesh gives rise to flesh but spirit gives rise to spirit.
pretty close and good enough for me.

thank u.

If you have crossed-eyes and buck teeth and your brother has a hunchback and bad skin,the chances of the pair of you having a child with crossed-eyes,buck teeth,a hunchback,and bad skin are much greater than if you each seek out mates without any of these traits.These facts became obvious to people long before cheap long distance rates came along.

First, please learn the correct way to phrase a question. Secondly, Adam and Eve weren't Christians, as Jesus the Christ had not walked the earth in the flesh at that time. IF you can read the Bible, it tells you where Cain found a wife. YBIC

suggestion a million) acquaintances - - even I incredibly have the comparable difficulty in college and masjid. dont difficulty, anybody is starting to be like this. you're able to discover stable acquaintances, i understand i did. persistence is the biggest and Dua and Salah. - overlook the girls at masjid. do no longer hate them yet hate the sin they commit. 2) outfits - - purchase some, talk on your mom with kindness and instruct her in spite of you have and pair the clothing up. Like say, on monday i placed in this (then get the pant and blouse and vest and undergarments, then deliver the socks. pair those up, say on your mom it incredibly is for monday. and try this for every day and each time a sparkling pant and blouse and undergarment to be picked. so your mom will comprehend you opt for some extra outfits. keep in mind BE variety. do no longer even say 'uff'. 3) recognition - - save on with Islam and the Sunnah for sake of Allah, exhilaration of Allah purely. see interior the Sunnah, what's the behaviour Prophet Muhammad (saws) had whilst he became into in public, how did He (saws) behave etc.. - do no longer look for the exhilaration of others yet look for Allah's exhilaration.

Well, the world had to populate somehow. Incest was allowed back then for that reason and now it is fobidden.
