First people Adam and Eve? If so, does anybody know about their kids? Were the children married each other?

Question

Have their children married with each other?

Answer 1

Adam and Eve were the first people. In the Life Application Bible it says that Adam and Eve had numerous children. They were told to fill the earth. Cain probably married one of his sisters or a niece. The human race was still genetically pure and there was no fear of side effects from marrying relatives.  

Answer 2

The story of Adam and Eve is an allegory.  Even the people who wrote it knew this to be true.

Answer 3

Yes, their children married each other or cousins since there were no other people on earth and it was not forbidden by God to do so until after the Flood. Adam and Eve had perfect genetics in the beginning and their offspring would not have suffered any ill effects from intermarrying as we do today. Jewish tradition holds that Adam and Eve had as many as 33 sons and 23 daughters....although they are not all mentioned in the Bible. Since we are all descendants of Adam and Eve....anyone marrying today is really marrying a distant relative...we just have laws against marrying a close relative or sibling for harmful genetic reasons.

Answer 4

This is the story a Christian friend told me when I asked. She attends a Christian Life Chuch in NSW Australia.

Adam and Eve had many more children than are spoken of in the bible (I don't know how they know this then - she was vague on that) and they did indeed marry one another. So all the people on earth are the descendents of incestuous unions!

EDIT: Oh my God there must be millions of them who have swallowed this sh***t! the bloke upstairs has just said the SAME thing! It's like talking to 6 year olds really.

Yuck! And the Christians have the hide to call other people immoral.

Answer 5

Why is everyone knocking Christians? the Adam and Eve story has basis in Three religions, Islam Judaism and Christianity. Duh their children had to marry each other what were they supposed to do the animals?
