If he had made them without it there was no sin to be committed, fruit or no fruit. What u say? They would have lived innocent always.

The "sin" in this allegory was to exercise free will, not have sex. You might ask why "God" gave them free will, but the mechanics of mythology work in this way: to first observe something that's true, and then to make up a story that explains how it came to be true. In this case the query is "why does God let bad things happen?" and the answer is "because Adam and Eve chose free will over Godliness."

The reproductive organs and the sin committed by Adam and Eve has no connection. Satan told them that God prohibited from eating the fruit of the particular tree not to make them permanent residents in the Heaven. The temptation worked since both wanted to live there for ever.
Sexual sin was not committed by Adam and Eve in Heaven since they were husband and wife.

Sex has nothing to do with sin. In fact, the very first commandment that God gave to Adam and Eve will they were still in the Garden was "Be fruitful and multiple and fill the earth". The Bible states that they were having sex BEFORE they ate the "apple" and sinned. Had they not sinned, they would continued and had children and filled the earth with people who did not have a desire for sin.
Their sin was no sexual, but disobedience to God in eating a fruit that he had restricted. The fruit itself had no "magic property" or "wisdom" in it. However the act of eating - of making a moral decision - would teach them the difference between "good and evil" (or right and wrong).
Today, sex itself is not evil. God commands married couples to do it regularly to keep them from being tempted to cheat. There is a whole book of the Bible (the Song of Solomon) about the beauty of sexual intimacy.
However, just like anything, it can be abused. Such as in rape, adultery, child molesting, etc. Those acts do not make "sex" evil any more then obesity or bulimia make "eating" evil.
The reason God made Adam, Eve and all humans since with reproductive organs is because he intends for them to enjoy sex with the bounds of marriage, and to have children.

God made Adam and Eve with reproductive organs because he wanted them to reproduce, Reproducing is not a sin they were married God married them, Adam and Eve's sin had nothing to do with their Reproductive Organs but it had everything to do with their obedience, if they had remained obedient they wouyld still be alive today, and the whole world would be a totally different place today no death no sicknesses, no sorrow no pain, no violence no crime,and many other problems that exist in our day.

This sounds suspiciously like the "spay and neuter your pets" argument, eh? If God had wanted Adam and Eve as pets, perhaps this would make sense. But without reproductive organs, there would be no more humans unless they were made outside the sexual process. Does God want to stay forever picking up clay and ribs and making his world like a static diorama? Sounds like he'd get bored with it after awhile. And who says using your reproductive organs is a sin?

You will have to tell me.. Where does it say that Adam and Eve could not reproduce? God does not sin or use sin to accomplish His goals. If God told Adam and Eve to reproduce and fill the earth then they were capable of carrying out that command.. To believe they were is to make God into a sinner. That would be blasphemy.. IHS Jim

You're assuming that the sin Adam & Eve committed was having sex. That's not the case. Their sin came in their disobedience to God's command not to eat from the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good & bad.
Ask yourself this: If God commanded Adam & Eve to "be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it", why would he then condemn them for following his command?

I'm afraid your way off on this one my little furry friend. God gave Adam & Eve freewill to choose for themselves weather or not to commit sin. If He didn't give them reproductive organs you and I would not be having this ridiculous conversation right now!

Those reproductive organs have nothing to do with it. Sex is not bad if it's after marriage. If you have sex before marriage then it's bad. Without reproductive organs well, that wouldn't stop them from eating the fruit. The fruit had nothing to do with reproductive organs.

Correct,if they did not sins, they would live in the Garden of Eden forever, without children.
But it was revealed to him, that without taken and eaten the fruit of knowledge, we could not be.
So Eve first toke of that fruit, and it was good, she gave it to Adam, after resisting, he also partook.
Jesus Christ married Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and they were married for Time and all Eternity.
And life started
