OK calling all Christians.....With whom did Adam and Eve's children procreate?

Question

This has always been one of my biggest unanswered...or should I say not answered well enough questions.
And please no mumbo jumbo, like their spouses fell out of the sky.

Answer 1

there be a lot of inbreeding going on when you think about it from that early a stage..

I prefer not to think about it.

Answer 2

With Adam and Eve's children, of course. A lot of people believe that they only had three children (Cain, Able and Seth) since they were the only ones mentioned by name. But the Bible says that they had "sons and daughters" (Genesis 5:4). It's hard to believe that in 130 years, they only had three sons. There must have been many children.

God did not make incest a sin until the time of Moses. Some things are not inherently sinful or sinful under all circumstances. Could incest be more sinful than procreating with one's clone? After all, Eve was essentially Adam's clone.

Today, and at least since Moses, procreation with a close relative brings on genetic weaknesses. It was probably not so in the time of Adam and Eve; or possibly the weaknesses introduced were negligible.

Our understanding of genetics is still less than the tip of an iceberg. So we just don't know what the effects were back then. All we do know is that God did not forbid it until the time of the exodus from Egypt.

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.


here's your mumbo jumbo.... they had over 0 children, so obviously they mated with eachother

Answer 4

rules! Who makes them and why? what's sin yet lawlessness? Who makes a decision what's a sin? God in step with threat?! while God created Adam and Eve the place have been each and all of the guidelines? ought to they be to blame of not paying their taxes? --or dashing? --how approximately taking somebody else's land? while God basically created 2 human beings, became he stupid? Or became it his objective, considering that those 2 have been suitable, for them to have toddlers that returned married and had toddlers? considering that they have been suitable, the challenge of inbreeding did not impact them. what's inbreeding? Wikipedia: "If practiced persistently, it in many situations ends up in a help in genetic variety, and the better gene expression of destructive recessive characteristics, ensuing in inbreeding melancholy. this could bring about inbred persons showing decreased wellbeing and wellbeing and decrease ranges of fertility." Inbreeding in relation to Adam and Eve became not a challenge considering that they were created to do as they did. to that end there became no sin of incest considering that God hadn't made this a sin yet. Later, because of the fact of imperfection, this grew to alter right into a challenge and the regulation Covenant forbade marriage of close relatives. (if memory serves suitable, Lev 18:6-17)

Answer 5

Cain married someone outside of the family.....Adam & Eve weren't the only people that God created. After Cain kills his brother Abel, he is concerned that "whoever finds me will kill me" -- referring, of course, to other people (Gen. 4:13).

We further know that Cain started his family in the land of Nod which was not a particular geographical place but is from the Hebrew root for the word "wandering"....Cain was banished to wander all the days of his life without ever really having a homeland place to settle. Nevertheless, he fathered his children away from the place called Eden.

Gen 4:13-17

Answer 6

It's certainly not unanswered here.

You could probably page through the questions and find it asked at least once every ten pages or so.

And it's not too hard to figure out. If they were the only people in the world, the kids married each other.

Answer 7

Their own brothers and sisters, the blood wasn't tainted yet. Adam and Eve lived almost 900 years and had many, many children. That's alot of generational differences.

Answer 8

Siblings

Answer 9

nobody. There was no Adam and Eve they are a metaphor for God's creative power not actual people.


Anna I am Catholic and we do not believe the bible is literal. The Department of theology at Notre Dame where I am studying seems to think differently then you on that.

Answer 10

Adam and Eve where the first people created by God, they weren't the only.

Answer 11

Read Genesis 2:1..and look up the word Host for it's meaning...there is your answer.
