Why did Adam and Eve procreate after they sinned?

Question

Would not there be no more sin and of course us? They knew they sinned. They should not have children and when both of them die off...That's it. Why drag us down? Misery loves company?

Views? Proper answers only please

Thank you

Answer 1

because they were no longer immortal

Answer 2

You must realize that Adam was never meant to die - that he was to live forever. God created Him to have a relationship with God. For a man given the opportunity to choose to love God. Love is only true love - if we have the free will to choose it - other wise it is not true love.

Our free will at times have long lasting consequences. A father who beats his child - it is not the child's fault - but he has to deal with it the rest of his life. Adam's children (us) were not at fault – but God set up a law and if Adam (the father of humanity) chose to break that law - then all that would usher in a legacy of sin. The free will of man has long lasting consequences.

In one since you could say that the tree symbolized a glass container - once broken - open the door for the floodgate of sin. That sinfulness was only atoned, healed, and removed by Jesus - the full and final atonement for sin. Also remember that God is just - justice. Sin requires, by God character - justice. The justice for sin is death - but the gift of God is eternal life. Last comment on this question. If you study Genesis and then study Revelation - God original purpose and his final purpose are the same - to be in relationship with man. Man, by His choice - chose to rebel -God by His choice - gave us a second chance - in Jesus.

Answer 3

i think they were able to procreate before they sinned , it was after they sinned that they saw it as something not right. god created man and women in his own image. if they would have not sinned they would live for ever as flesh. now we have to choose wether to follow god and wait until we die to live forever spiritually. theres two persrpectives
1. they sinned so we could exist and if this is this case adam and eve were used right???
2.adam and eve felt they were above god and decided to do there own thing so god decided to give humans free will wether to choose him or not???

Answer 4

God becomes angry not so much at the act of disobedience (eating fruit of knowledge) but at Adams and Eve’s avoidance of responsibility. Significantly, the word SIN is not introduced into the Bible until later when Cain murders his brother, Abel. It seems that Adam and Eve’s worst transgression is their scapegoat, and the couples moral life will finally begin when they can acknowledge having done wrong.

Eating the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil is the first independent act by the human being in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve cannot be said to have been fully aware of the extent of their transgression because they did not yet have knowledge of good and evil. They do, however, know that God has told them explicitly not to eat of that tree. In that respect, they are like children, who may understand that certain behavior is expected but do not fully understand why.

Like any concerned parent, God wants his children to learn and accept responsibility for their actions, however painful it may be. Indeed, God has lovingly provided all the arrangements in the garden - a secure life, the edict against one tree -but also the capacity for free choice that will cause Adam and Eve to mature. He knows perfectly well where the humans are in the garden, but he asks his question, “Where are you?” to draw the story out of them and begin the process of moral development.

The Garden of Eden offers a life that is comfortable and risk free. Yet Eve rejects the stultifying monotony of her perfect, paradisiacal life. As she gazes at the forbidden tree of knowledge, she seems to ask, "What good is life without wisdom that arises from experience?" Passing by the tree of life, she might muse, "of what use is immortality without knowledge or growth?" Eve wrestles with humanity's first moral dilemma and takes the first moral action recorded in the Bible when she crosses the limit set by the all-knowing God.

Eve and Adam leave their father's protective abode, as children must. God knows it is time for them to face life as adults in an imperfect world. The heartbroken parent appoints a guard at the garden's gate to prevent Eve and Adam from regressing to a childhood devoid of adult responsibilities but also to prevent himself from softening and allowing them to return.

The reader sees Eve and Adam leaving the Garden of Eden full of optimism. They are not at all the tearful, dejected couple portrayed in Renaissance art, expelled by a furious father. The first thing they do is make love and create new life. What a better is there to teach us about pleasure and responsibility, behavior and consequences, than through the knowledge that the fleeting gratification of lovemaking produces a child with whom parents share a lifelong bond?

Answer 5

Procreation was their punishment. Actually, man created God because he did not want to die. We are immortal through our children. Two thousand years before Christ, the rabbit was revered because it was so prolific and therefore immortal. The link below is all about immortality.

Answer 6

because we learn from mistakes even thy did a sinned their is still forgiveness and because you forgive a wife when she make a mistake no meter what the consequences are

and we suffer today from it

also Adam did not have a choice because Adam and eve was the only people on earth so what was thy spouse to do?

Answer 7

I was hoping for a completely different question. But once I read the additional info I was let down.

I thought you were going to ask about sex before the 'fall of man'.

But to answer your question. They were being obedient (funny, huh, since they were just caught red handed). But God told them to go out and multiply.

God Bless

Answer 8

Because that is what God created them for. And, even though they had sinned God still loved them and still had a plan for them. Just as He still does with us. I have sinned and do sin, but I don't just quit living, I try to learn and do better.

Answer 9

well man kind had to go on, except us going on living a peaceful life we all have to suffer for what adam and eve did. and this life isnt that bad as long as you obey what the bible says. now it just makes it harder for us to go to heaven but life is more fun when there's mountains we have to climb. when we get to heaven we would be proud of ourselves, because we accomplished soo much evil in life

Answer 10

Because God instructed them to.
Genesis 2:16-23
To the woman he said,
"I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing;
with pain you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you."

To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,'
"Cursed is the ground because of you;
through painful toil you will eat of it
all the days of your life.

It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.

By the sweat of your brow
you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return."

Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.

The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.

Answer 11

Because we have 2 reasons for being here....to fellowship with the Lord and to create.
