If Adam and Eve had not eaten from the tree of knowledge would any of us be here?

Question

According to Genesis neither birth nor death existed before Adam and Woman (as she was called before she ate the fruit) ate from the tree of knowledge. After they ate from it death existed and childbirth, remember Woman was not created to be the child bearer that was bestowed upon her for convincing Adam to eat. Should us as humans who are alive be happy that they disobeyed god, because otherwise none of us would be here. What do you think?

I think everyone is forgetting that Woman was only created to keep Adam company, not to procreate.

Answer 1

Hope this help.

22 And now, behold, if Adam had not transgressed he would not have fallen, but he would have remained in the garden of Eden. And all things which were created must have remained in the same state in which they were after they were created; and they must have remained forever, and had no end.
23 And they would have had no children; wherefore they would have remained in a state of innocence, having no joy, for they knew no misery; doing no good, for they knew no sin.
24 But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things.
25 Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.
26 And the Messiah cometh in the fulness of time, that he may redeem the children of men from the fall. And because that they are redeemed from the fall they have become free forever, knowing good from evil; to act for themselves and not to be acted upon, save it be by the punishment of the law at the great and last day, according to the commandments which God hath given.
27 Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself.

Answer 2

I think it was in God's plan that Adam & Eve procreate. I just don't think they realized that they were naked before that time. Death entered the world at that time, but I don't think it had anything to do with birth--other than woman will have pain and suffering in delivering their child. We are all here according to God's plan--you, me, and everyone else who is or has been in the world.

Answer 3

It is not clear if the woman was not to be the child bearer before the fall. All God said was that the woman would, from then on, give birth "in pain" -- which could imply that childbirth was painless before the fall (It doesn't necessarily mean that Eve couldn't have children before she sinned).

Answer 4

you're not a very perceptive reader.

1) the tree was for the gaining of the knowledge of GOOD AND EVIL, not simply knowledge or intellect. Adam and Eve could name, garden, communicate and sew, so obviously intelligence and knowledge were needed. they knew everything else that they could. it wouldn't have stopped us from advancing in science

2) obviously "die" refers to a spiritual/moral death, as there is another verse later in the Bible that says "the soul that sins shall surely die" and that "the wages of sin is death".

if Adam and Eve hadn't eaten it at all, the only real change would be that there'd be no weapons, no crime, no disease, and no Y!A R&S. everything else would exist. if it was all for God's timing, as in they knew Him better and trusted Him more, then same basic things, just there'd be people of stronger will. if they had eaten the tree of life, then we'd never have to worry about death (mortal).

Answer 5

In Genesis 1, human beings, both male and female, were told to "be fruitful and multiply". In Genesis 3, God told the woman he'd increase her pains in childbirth. Without the curse, she would bear children with little or no pain.

Now, if Adam and Eve had obeyed God, history would be different, the movements of humans across the world would be different, and the couplings of men and women would be different. You and I per se would not be here. Different children would have been born in our place.

Answer 6

If the Tree of Knowledge hadn't been eaten from what would have happened to all that fruit? Would it have fallen from the tree onto the ground, rotted, and sprung up with new trees of knowledge? Eden would be awash with nothing but inedible fruit by now. It would have got to the stage a couple of thousand years ago when Adam would finally have said, "Look God, you said don't eat them but was there a reason for putting them here at all? I can't make my (specially bred) bananas grow anywhere now!"

Answer 7

the fruit of knowledge was not a real fruit it was symbolic language ,just as Adam and Eve were not just 2 people but was the symbolic representation of a whole slave race that was created by the Anunaki,(it was a story of genetic engineering and cloning)

Genesis is full of, those who descended from the heavens ,which is what Anunaki means(not one but many Gods)

people have blinded themselves taking symbolism literally,and evil manipulators have done their best over the centuries to humanise the symbolic stories ,making them and the charators ,appear real,

but to play along with your fantasy ,we would still all be naked and unashamed if they had not listened to Enki the good Anunaki ,who was represented by the snake and made to look evil by the authors who were running the show ,

and their descendents still do ,

Answer 8

Wait a minute there champ, you' re taking the full Adam or perhaps factor way too actually in my opinion. the clarification all of us share of their sin is by way of the fact all of us share an analogous nature. people won't be able to no longer sin. in case you probably did no longer sin, you're able to do no longer something. once you consume, you kill, even once you're a vegetarian. once you reproduce, you're utilising another being to your individual sexual exhilaration. in basic terms via contemporary, you're taking components that somebody else could desire to apply. once you chop back down wood to plant vegetation or to construct a house or production unit, you're implementing your individual will for Gods. an analogous factor occurs whilst a doctor remedies you of a illness that once could have killed you. Does that mean you should in basic terms shrivel up and die. nicely no of direction no longer. the factor is that all and sundry life, surprisingly smart life, has ego at its very middle. The ego is egocentric, sinful, and disobedient. yet that's indispensible. that's what Christians mean whilst they communicate approximately "complete depravity". Sin is fairly woven into the very fabric of life. Now you should be sure why Christians have self assurance that Christ is indispensible for the redemption of humanity and definitely all of nature. Christians could disagree on whether a sinner could desire to have self assurance in Christ to be saved, yet Christ is the only answer to the delimma posed above. desire that enables.

We would be here in Utopia, a prefect world. I'll be brief. Read Genesis 1: 27-28. That tells the tale.

Answer 10

In Eden, before the tree thing, Adam, Eve and Lucy (he was strange) were on good terms. One day Eve noticed that all the other creatures were having sex. The problem was, Adam and Eve had no genitalia. Like Barby, and Ken.

Lucifer went to God (they were on good terms at the time). Laughing, he told God that the kids had discovered sex, and that they wanted to try it. Laughing, God said, "Ok Lucy, but this time, let's put the d... on the dumb one!"

My point is, if my Grandpa had the right equipment, he'd be my Grandma.
