A question about Adam and Eve.

I was watching TV yeterday and I saw on some Gospel channel they were talking about Adam and Eve. I heard them say they had two sons. I was thinking and thinking then I thought, how are we here if Adam and Eve had two sons? Did eve do it with one of her sons? I don't think they ever explained this in the Bible. If this really happened, I'd be grossed out by it. That's called incest right? What do you think really happened?

I dont think those stories are meant to be taken so literally.

ADAM was really Ocelot and EVE was a guy but EVA, the Chinese spy, used the alias to get close enough to steal the Philosopher's Legacy.

How is it an inconsistency?

[QUOTE="mattykovax"][QUOTE="xaos"] There apparently were other people in the world. After Cain murdered Abel, he expressed fear to God that people he met would try to punish him.Silverbond

So you mean all of this is made up? Because for some reason, I'm not believeing in god any more.

As the story goes, yes they did have incest as they had to reproduce. Supposedly, though, they were much closer to perfection than we are, so birth defects didn't apply to them. Again, that's how some explain it.

Apparently so. The only way Adam and Eve's children could reproduce is to mate with other family members, since they were the only humans at the time.

LOL that is epic :lol:

Genesis easily allows for God having "made" other humans for their children to mate with.

No, this has been happening. I've been this way for months. I just don't believe any more.

To take the (or any) creation myth literally is a fools quest that leads to nothing beneficial. There is absolutely no way it could have actually happened. It carries way more meaning if taken metaphorically and symbolically, like most religious texts. It is a story designed to deliver a message, not recount true historical events. I personally don't understand the message behind having only two sons.

Why are asking this question? Are you still wanting to and hoping there is an answer?

I'm pretty sure incest wasn't condemned until the Mosaic laws. Genesis 5:4 says that they had other sons and daughters. Genetics weren't corrupted so soon after expulsion from the garden so incest wasn't geneticaly harmful.

Here's an extra tidbit...the chronological category B.C. does not translate to 'Before Christ'. In fact, it's an acronym for 'Before the Common Era'. And A.D.? "Anno Domini". Thanks for tuning in, folks :)Jacoora

B.C.E. is Before Common Era. See here.

B.C. does stand for Before Christ, but is becmoing less common and replaced by BCE.

No, he didn't. He was drunk and his daughters took him in that state. And he didn't intend to get drunk, his daughters tricked him into getting drunk.

What idiot Gospel channel were you watching?

They had three sons.

[QUOTE="br0kenrabbit"]

[QUOTE="Jacoora"] Actually, the B.C you're talking about stands for Before Christianity, not Christ. It's another extension of the whole B.C., B.C.E. thing, but it's a common misconception that's been taken as fact by the majority of the populace.xaos

No, BC stand for Before Christ.
