bible question..?

Question

okie dokie soooo.. bible question. if adam and eve had 3 sons then where did the human race come from??

Answer 1

The Bible is full of loop holes, and is always contradicting itself.

Answer 2

Adam and Eve had over 50 children and lived to be over 500 years old. They had sons and daughters. This is information outside of the Bible, but still historical.

Answer 3

Probably the Bible did not document every child that Adam and Eve had, but obviously the next generation of offspring had to be parented by brothers & sisters born to Adam & Eve. I mean thats all the humans there were so what other explanation can be plausible?

Answer 4

Like a lot of Bible stories. The story od Adam and Eve is not meant to be taken literally (unless you are a Creationist).
It's just a nice way of explaining how God created the human race.

Answer 5

Well there had to be God's other failed experiments living outside the garden of eden. When cain killed able, god marked him and sent him packing, well cain wandered into the land of Nod, and there took a wife.
So, these were eithyer His other failed attempts at making humans. Or, these other humans already existed , via evelution, and cain found them. There is the theory of Incest, which would explain some people in the south look like they do..

Answer 6

1. Adam had other children also(Gen. 5:4).
2. Another possibility; Adam was created on Day 8, not day 6. Read the order of things (Gen. 2 & before and after 'rest day' (sabbath ).

Answer 7

If you keep reading, you'll see that they had MANY sons and daughters. The first two sons and all their families eventually died out. The 3rd son, Seth, continued the line and one of his descendants, Noah, continued the human race.

Seth could have easily married one of Cain's children.

God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply and replenish (fill) the earth, which is exactly what they did.

Otherwise, YOU wouldn't be here (come to think of it, neither would I!!! - YIKES!)

Answer 8

adam and eve had many more children, than 3, genisis 5:4 after he begot seth, the days of adam were 800 years; and he had sons and daughters.

Answer 9

(Gen 5:4) "And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:"

There was no reason for a law prohibiting a person from marrying his sister, who could separated from him in age to a good degree, as the effects of the fall of man are progressive. That is, the primary reason for the law against incest is due to the genetic defects that are more likely to result, but which defects did not show up until much later. Thus the laws against incest were not given till approx. 1500 year after Adam and Eve.

After they sinned, sin entered into the word, evil affecting all that was under man's influence (Rm. 8:20-22), yet we did not have all the diseases, etc., that we have today. and God also gave man grace and intelligence to combat many of them. And He also Divinely heals: http://www.cbn.com/700club/features/amaz...

And most importantly, God provides redemption at His own expense and credit, on Christ's blood and righteousness for those who truly repent and believe.

(Isa 53:4-6) "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. {5} But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. {6} All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."

(1 Pet 2:24) "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."

(1 Pet 3:18) "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:"

(Acts 3:19) "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;"

Answer 10

They had other sons and daughters Gen 5:4

Answer 11

Etheopia, give or take. Genesis is chock full of myths and legends created to explain truths. As someone once said, "All of the Bible is true. Some of it actually happened."
