were people existing in the world outside adam and eve?

Question

we were told that adam and eve were the first humans on earth and they gave birth to cain and ebel. cain killed ebel and after went to the land of nod and got a wife, does that mean that there were people leaving whilst adam and eve were also leaving on earth in the garden of eden?

Answer 1

In Genesis Chapter 4, it tells of Cain, but in 5, it says Adam is 130 years old when Seth is born, that is the year Cain killed Abel and what was the population after 130 years?
Plenty of males and females by that time.
Gen.2:23; Adam said of Eve that she is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh, so it will be with their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and any niece or nephew or half brother or half sister.
In the genealogy of Jesus: Noah at flood is son #10, He lives 350 years after the flood. Gen.9:28,29; [ His son Shem is #11, he lives 502 years after the flood Gen.11:10,11 ]; Abraham is son #20 married to a half sister, he gets the Promised Land covenant 427 years after the flood, [ Abraham dies 527 after and 1883 BC ].
Exo.7:7; 12:40,41 [ 430 years ]; Gal.3:16-18; It is 430 years to Promised Land heirs get the law or 857 to 897 years after the flood, the father of Aaron and Moses married
his aunt, the sister of his father. The heirs exit Egypt world Empire #1 bondage.
The incest law was 2515 years after Adam, 859 years after the flood, and 1551 BC at 897 is 1513 BC.
By now 859 after flood, giants, dwarfs and hunchbacks are being born. NOW THE LAW OF THE LAND IS TO BE FOLLOWED AS WE DO TODAY.
Matt.1:1-17;
David was son #34 in genealogy of Jesus, other nations had giants even in his day.
He was 1303 to 1333 to 1373 after flood, and 1107 to 1077 to 1037 BC.
Jehoiachin was son #48 captive in Babylon Empire #3. Judah kings will end 606 BC.
Mary the mother of Jesus is from Nathan the son of David, the priest line and king line mix from Aaron of priest line 1Chr.6:1-15; of the tribe of Levi, his wife was daughter of Amminadab and he is from the king line of the tribe of Judah, same as David Ruth 4:18-22; 1Chr.3:1-17;
Matt.1:1-17;
Jesus is son #62 born in the Roman world Empire #6, 2007 years ago he was there.

Answer 2

Before reaching the land of Nod, Cain was already very old so that sons and daughters of Ada m and Eve have already been spread the whole world through Gods will, and there he his wife whom he do not know that she is his sister in actual manner. All these things were done to the will of God as it was told in prophecy that man will be spread through the world

Answer 3

Most Christians seem to think that there were others besides Adam and Eve. That is the official doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church, which is the world's largest denomination.

Answer 4

In order for the story to be plausible, yes. Otherwise, there are problems with the story on many different levels. Notice that there are two separate creation myths in Genesis. The first has God(s) creating man AND woman on the sixth day. Adam and Eve are introduced in the second chapter sometime after the 7th day. Also notice that Gods (Elohim, pl.) created man and woman in their image in chapter 1. The LORD God (Yahweh Elohim) created Adam & Eve in chapter 2.

Answer 5

No. Te human race was created through adam and Eve.

We are all offspring of the fallen nature unless we recieve Christ as Lord and Savior.
The lineage of adam supported intermarrying. Being close to the adamic bloodline allowed for interbreeding to populate the earth.

As the population grew GOD forbid it knowing as the race got farther away from perfection genetic mutations would occur so God gave us the laws of moses.

Even moses till then married his niece.

Answer 6

God made Adam and Eve directly, but it never said those were the only two..

Answer 7

I can't believe people take the story of Adam and Eve as if it were literal truth.

It is a story. It is just a story. Much of the Bible was written this way. Legends of heroes, myths, stories. Etc.

Answer 8

You have to remember that this is a story that was passed down by oral tradition for centuries before it was written down, and it was based on an even older Akkadian story. Parts of it just don't make sense, and this is one of them.

Answer 9

These are just silly stories. Don't try to make sense out of them; they're not actually true.

Answer 10

Cain obviously married his sister. Geneology in the bible is issue oriented to prove the messiahship of the one to come !!!

God's Love Is Revealed in the Bible
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." —John 3:16 (NIV)

God loves you. He wants to bless your life and make it full and complete. And He wants to give you a life which will last forever, even after you experience physical death.

We Are Sinful
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." —Romans 3:23 (NIV)

You may have heard someone say, "I'm only human—nobody's perfect." This Bible verse says the same thing: We are all sinners. We all do things that we know are wrong. And that's why we feel estranged from God—because God is holy and good, and we are not.

Sin Has a Penalty
"For the wages of sin is death." —Romans 6:23 (NIV)

Just as criminals must pay the penalty for their crimes, sinners must pay the penalty for their sins. If you continue to sin, you will pay the penalty of spiritual death: You will not only die physically; you will also be separated from our holy God for all eternity. The Bible teaches that those who choose to remain separated from God will spend eternity in a place called hell.

Christ Has Paid Our Penalty!
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." —Romans 5:8 (NIV)

The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, has paid the penalty for all your sins. You may think you have to lead a good life and do good deeds before God will love you. But the Bible says that Christ loved you enough to die for you, even when you were rebelling against Him.

Salvation Is a Free Gift
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." —Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)

The word grace means "undeserved favor." It means God is offering you something you could never provide for yourself: forgiveness of sins and eternal life, God's gift to you is free. You do not have to work for a gift. All you have to do is joyfully receive it, Believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ died for you!

Christ Is at Your Heart's Door
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." —Revelation 3:20 (NIV)

Jesus Christ wants to have a personal relationship with you. Picture, if you will, Jesus Christ standing at the door of your heart (the door of your emotions, intellect and will). Invite Him in; He is waiting for you to receive Him into your heart and life.

You Must Receive Him
"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." —John 1:12 (NIV)

When you receive Christ into your heart you become a child of God, and have the privilege of talking to Him in prayer at any time about anything. The Christian life is a personal relationship to God through Jesus Christ. And best of all, it is a relationship that will last for all eternity
