In regards to whether or not Adam and Eve had a sexual relationship before Genesis, it depends on how you look at it. Genesis was written many years after creation and yes, they had had a sexual relationship by then. In the book of Genesis, we learn that Adam was created first. God saw that Adam was without a female mate upon observing all his other creations were one male and one female mates. He knew that it was not good for Adam to be without female companion.
God had married them and told them to be fruitful and multiply.
To Answer 7 - You will be called evil by others no matter what you say or do because there are going to be others who disagree with you. Sad as it may be, the majority of those will probably be other Christians. In regard to your question, Jesus died in his physical form. Remember, he was literally ripped to shreds physically. Of course he physically died. His spirit, however, lived. And after 3 days, his spirit returned to his physical body.

His physical body was ressurected. Remember what Jesus said "...if the world hates you, remember that it hated me first..."

It's funny that it took god some time to figure out adam needed a mate, being omnipotent and all.

Yes, after E. was created A.&E. had Perfect Sex! And at this time E. could not have Children which IMHO made it even Better!!! After Sinning, E. was made to Ovulate & bear Children as part of her Punishment, Blessing & Gods' Solution to the Angelic Conflict. In Genesis 1, we see a "Generalized" account showing that God wanted All the World he created to be "Prosperous" which is what is meant when it states for "Everything", "Be Fruitful and Multiply". We do this same thing today in an "Outline" of a "Subject" or the "Table of Contents Page" of a book, listing the Chapters. Then, when we get into the actual "Chapters" we get the "Expanded Rendering" in grater detail of what the "Outline" or "Table of Contents" briefly stated. Many people have tried to use this to "Discredit" Scripture & Fail as there are No Conflicts in Scripture!!! John

I like your theory about Adam and Eve. I agree they probably did have a great sexual relationship. Whether children or not is a tough question. Cain is supposed to be the first. Maybe out of their sin in the garden?

Don't they think the Garden of Eden is somewhere in the south of Iraq? The land of Nod is a little further south, right? Christians all claim this was about 10,000 years ago? Kind of confusing? Just saw an article that claims they found a human tooth in Spain, that is a million years old? Science vs. religion, age old question?
Who was doing who, etc.? I think you'll have to wait till the afterlife?

Interesting how the said creator made two of a kind except for humanity and then, finally "saw" that there was no way they could "be fruitful and multiply" unless there were two. So, how come he made a law against incest? With whom did Cain and Abel mate? How can anyone possibly believe this stuff!

There was no Adam and Eve, and there is no god.
