Christians.Adam and Eve had sex because they were lured to eat the fruit by snake?

Question

Question 1) As the title qusestion.

Question 2 ) So do you think love making between a man and woman is a sin ? Or the love making is a gift of God? ( Therefore we should enjoy every part of it ? )

Question 3) What was the reason that Adam and Eve made love ?

Answer 1

In all divine love,

First off the story of the fruit and the serpent is way deeper then your question suggest.

The answers to your questions must be based on supposition and assumption.

We will assume that sex is somehow related to the commandment "be fruitful and multiply. Replenish the earth". Under this assumption the fall {eating of the fruit of the tree} was an independent action that occurred after the advent of sex.

Though I have not "engaged" in about 15 years, I have always enjoyed making love to a woman while engaged in the act but sometimes the aftermath was not edifying. So if you consider consequence, it is possible that every part of it is not enjoyable. If you do not consider consequence then it is the most fun you can have without laughing. You may laugh while engaged but those moments when you do not laugh cannot be achieved by any other means unless it makes you laugh.

The reason for Adam and Eve to make love is to bear fruit and to share in the reality of oneness while maintaining the duality of being. Kind of like left and right are just two poles of the same thing. Or the positive and negative poles of electricity are but two potentials of the same force. The reality of the one cannot be realized without the two.

Sin? That is between you and God. Unlawful? That is between you and your society. The two do not necessarily parallel one another.

Now if you want the real story on the serpent, tree and Eve, ask ....................................

Blessings and peace to all,
All in all,
Nony

Answer 2

The Bible doesn't say they had sex once they ate the fruit. They were married in God's eyes. It was ok for them to be together. The sin was that they disobeyed God and ate of the fruit in the first place. Then they knew good from evil. They listened to satan instead of God, and believed his lies. Actually it was Eve who was deceived. Adam didn't even blink an eye, and he took it from her and ate it. God didn't intend for men to know about evil. Since he does, he does, the earth has been cursed, and women have been cursed having children, and serpents have been cursed to crawl on their bellies.
Love making between a man and a wife is a Holy thing from God. It is a gift for those who love and obey Him. It is not a sin, as long as they are married. It is, however, not a holy thing if they are not married, or with the same sex.
I imagine they made love because they loved one another.

Answer 3

GOOD GRIEF! where DO you get these silly notions?

God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply before anything else.

Sexual love is a gift from God, but outside of marriage, it IS sin.

Adam and Eve made love because she was the most beautiful woman on earth. Oh, wait - she was the ONLY woman on earth. Their senses were so much more than ours, and I'm certain their pleasure was, too. Time and sin has reduced our abilities to think and feel. I mean, if we use only 8 to 10% of our brains, why not assume that we only use 8 to 10% of our feelings, as well?

By the way, Adam and Eve are the things from which mythological gods are formed. The most beautiful woman on earth couldn't hold a match to Eve's beauty, nor could the strongest man on earth stand next to Adam. It would be like Erkel standing next to Schwartzenegger.

Answer 4

My opinion:

Adam and Eve had sex before. God told them to multiply. Sex was a gift from god.

I think the eating of the fruit is symbolic. I think eve had sex with the serpent. In doing that, she dishonored god, his instructions, and her husband. She took her experience to adam, and did the same things she did with the serpent.

They were ashamed they were naked because they were ashamed of the acts they had just committed. Sex was no longer godly, it was human and selfish.

The punishment for this was to feel pain during child birth.

Sex between soul mates (notice I dont use the words spouse or marriage... I mean soulmates) is the most amazing thing in the world.

Unfortunatly, I did not wait to have sex. I can tell you that the sex I have now with my soul mate doesnt compare to anything before, to the point that I cant describe it. It truly is a gift from god.

We make it a sin by enduldging our physical desires to the point where they matter more than finding someone you love. It is a sin when we value sex more than the one we love.

Answer 5

The Catholic Church doesn't teach that Adam and Eve ate an apple. Genesis says they ate of a friut. That is where it came from. Okay, here is the real reason as far as I understand it that Adam and Eve did not first commit the sin of fornication. The reason is that the story is meant to demonstrate the state that man is in. We don't really know how literal it is. Sin comes first from pride and concupiscense is a result. The sin of lust comes from pride. So first if you are completely informed by God's spirit(Adam and Eve were in this state), you must say no to Him directly. So the sin should firstly be "pride" or "disobedience" in the order of the way sin works. The Cathechism I had when growing up had that order. All sin starts with pride and directly disobeying God is the first of them. Much like Lucifer and the angels, primarily when you sin, you choose to disobey. Lust comes from a disorder. It is a temptation after you reject God. It is otherwise be obviously wrong to you and the reason Adam and Eve did not realize they were naked until after the first sin, is because of their previously unique union of mind with God. This grace left them due to the choice of sin. I think you will find this reasoning consistant with a Jewish understanding of the story as well. I put much of this in my own words and some of it is just my own opinion, but you should look it up in the Catholic Catechism. The answer can lead to understanding a lot about the Catholic and Christian faith and you may find quite interesting. I see what you are saying about sex, though. I've heard it commonly said to be the easiest sins to be tempted by because it is so strong a part of our body to desire sex.

1- hope you don't think it was a fruit they ate and hope you don't think it was a snake that made them do it what is the fruit of a mans loins ?his children and we know how they are coincide 2-not if between a man and his wife. Gen.1 and GOD created both male and female and said be fruit full and multiply and you can bet you don't usually multiply ever time you make love(hopefully) 3-eve took of the tree of good and evil and then Adam partook to and what happen on in the 3rd chapter and eve bare a son and continued in labor she had twins from two different seeds. as your doctor a women can have twins from two different man

Answer 7

Adam and Eve was commanded by God to "be fruitful and multiply" and fill the earth. They couldn't have done that without having sexual relations.

The serpent had nothing to do with sex!
The serpent tested their integrity to God.....and they didnot stand firm.

2. Sex relations were designed to be enjoyed between a husband and wife, there's nothing sinful about that.

3. Back to the beginning: to fill the earth with their offspring.

Answer 8

Eve was tempted into eating from the tree of knowledge. I believe that this was symbolic in the sense that there was not an actual tree but more of a frame of mind or decision that she made. The tree of knowledge could represent the decision between good and evil. The bible later references that God stopped man from advancing further by eating from the tree of eternal life. I beleive this right is now reserved until judgement.

Answer 9

They had sex because God made them male and female and well the parts seem to fit so well and it does feel good. Sex within the confines of marriage is not a sin. If it was God wouldn't have made it feel so good nor make the parts so compatible. You have a misconception of what scripture says.

Love making, within the confines of marriage is a gift from God. You can even learn spiritual lessons from it. Think of the bliss of an orgasm, then think of the promise of eternal bliss when we go to be with God. Remember he is our husband and we are his wife.

It felt good? That's my guess and I'm sticking with it.

Answer 10

The Bible is full of sexual relations. The great men of God in the Bible make some of our most potent modern men look like amateurs. These saints and prophets would be kicked out of church by modern Christian standards.

The women before and some perhaps after the flood were so sexually attractive that fallen angels wanted them for mates. Women today probably pale in comparison.

Sex isn't the forbidden fruit. People these days though, are so depraved, selfish, and irresponsible that they make everything corruptible.
