Ok so Eve came from Adams rib........doesn't that kind of make them brother and sister?

Answer 1

As much as any man or woman today who you would not consider brother and sister. It meant that their bodies are made of the same substance (i.e. they are the same species, just different sexes). I think this was something important to know. Let me ask you something, if a husband donated a healthy kidney to his sick wife, would that make them bro and sis?

Sweet

Answer 2

More like she's his clone, with a sex change.

My favorite part about the A&E story is that Making Woman was God's Plan B. God thought Adam would be satisfied with a goat.

18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."

19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.

20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.
But for Adam no suitable helper was found.

21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh.

22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

Answer 3

Yes, from one Father. Furthermore, how do you think humanity first propagated? Brothers and sisters HAD to have sex with one another. So, this naturally leads to the question, why would incest be considered a sin now if it wasn't then? I am not a practioner of incest but this is an honest question. If God is the same today as He has always been, and if His Laws are eternal (even from time past) and unchanging, why did He suddenly pronounce incest as sinful if He did not prohibit it before? This leads, then, to another question: how come God keeps changing the rules? Maybe it's only those who speak on His behalf that are writing the rules.

Answer 4

Adam and Eve where old time stories not to be taken literally.
In the same category as the earth is the center of the universe, Noah's ark, the earth is only 5,000 years old and so on.

Answer 5

Yes it does. People used to rib Adam a lot about that too.

Answer 6

Well, yes. If Adam and Eve are the first humans alive, they would reproduce and their daughters and sons would reproduce and so on, it would keep happening until they were tons of people. So that means that every humans shares similar traits and are related to each other in some way.

Answer 7

If eve came from adams rib then I guess that means that god used adams rib just to make her. I GUESS...

Answer 8

Well, they should of had the same DNA... Anyway you look at it it's incest. Lot of incest in the bible.

We used to say I. N. C. E. S. T. that's what brother means to me. Another little ditty from child hood. I didn't have a brother either.

Man isn't short a rib, isnt that an old wives tale? I'm pretty sure I'm right.

Answer 9

No because there wasn't a baby born ed as
A GIRL. EVE WAS CREATED AS A FEMALE FULL GROWN. It was mention at one place
that Eve was created as a young person created
perfect.by today standards it would be a female
in her mid teen.Naturally this is open for your
answerer's.

Answer 10

Closer then that. They would have the same dna except for the x/y - x/x chromosome.
Anyway its not a huge deal. Brothers and sisters use to marry. It was common for Pharoahs to marry a sister and it happened in other ancient cultures.
