Genesis 4:16 says that Eve would have "increased pain" during childbirth, do you think this implies that she had already had children that predate the fall of man?

How could she know that the pain was increased if she had not experienced the pain of it before the curse?

I have never thought of this before but maybe she did have kids before the fall. After all, "the two became one" and you know there was no form of birth control around back then. Something to think about.

of course Adam and Eve sinned. Christianity isn't some cutting-edge relativism. The Bible is interpreted by ability of the Bible no longer by ability of what some catholic or protestant feels. it incredibly is whats incorrect with the international right this moment. besides, the bible says: "For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all would be made alive." (a million Cor 15) "consequently, only as sin entered the international by one guy, and dying by sin, and by this way dying got here to all people, because of the fact all sinned" (Rom 5) and then the very sparkling strikes of Adam and Eve breaking the regulation of God is given in Genesis 3. --- i don't comprehend how somebody can malign scripture and say unique sin would not exist while the two verse I supply and the entire context of those verses of their respective chapters communicate of it. neither is Adam and Eve allegory. The e book of Genesis is likely one in each of the main traditionally written books interior the bible. The genealogies after Adam are patently laid out. that is not any longer written in an allegorical way. like a number of disastrous doctrines that bump into the church, the thought Adam and Eve is allegory is consistent with people attempting to make experience of the Bible with their minds and not with the inherent notice of God. technology says it incredibly is impossible that God ought to create the international in 6 days so they alter scripture consistent with technology. yet with God all issues are attainable, he says and it became.

No. this punishment was given to remain her of what she did wrong.
She (along with Adam) ushered sin into the world. For that, whenever she brought life into this world she would experience pain. Later in the bible you'll learn that FLesh is sin. So, going back to the beginning, just as she ushered sin into the world which brought pain to God, she would feel pain when she brings forth a baby (wrapped in flesh).
I may have lost you, but I hope do some additional research outside of posting questions on this site.

No that means that there was a bit of pain in child birth, but because of the sin her punishment for all women would be increased pain, in other words alot of pain while giving birth.But it is a pain no woman remembers

No, I think it means that she will have increased pain from what God originally intended for her. If you have ever raised animals, you will probably realize that animals have much less pain or are affected much less in birth than we humans are. Not that they are pain free but it seems to be a more acceptable pain.

Good point. Im, myself, am still wondering why Christian women still experience pain during childbirth - I thought Jesus died and washed away all our sins. A new covenant... that omniscient man in the sky must have forgotten one, eh? Im also curious why an all loving deity would incrase anyone's pain.... Maybe God is really an all loving sadist?

I would think that God knew in advance that childbirth would be painful, if only minimally at first. He could therefore say that the pain she would have had would be increased now.

nope! It means that God increased the pain of childbirth!

It should be INCREASING pain, because labor pains start out mild, and increase to excruciating. I think part of her curse haunts me every month!

Well Adam(PBUH*) and Eve were both in Jinna when they sinned. So ALLAH cast them down to Earth. However they repented and ALLAH forgave them and made Adam(PBUH*) the first caliph(prophet) in Islam. Also since there is no suffering in Jinna then this implies that Eve only got pain in childbirth when she and Adam(PBUH*) were cast down to Earth.
