That summed up more for me than you can imagine. If only people would think about how bullshit that story is. Thanks for giving the facts.
Much appreciated.

adam & eve (your understanding)

your understanding of adam and eve is not GODS understanding. have you tried to ask GOD to help you?do you even believe in GOD? have you excepted GOD as your savior? instead of trying to find fault in GOD, why don't you try to believe. don't get caught up in the god of this world who only wants to see your destruction. GOD made it very clear not eat of the fruit or you will surley die. the serpent who we all know to be the devil tricked eve. just as he is tricking you to doubt the LORD!

A christian defends incest in adam and eve account

In your analysis of the origin of Cains wife, you point out that incest is the only option that a Bible believing Christian realistically has. you point out two problems with this view, 1- incest leads to genetic disformities and 2- incest is not permitted by God's law. Whilst these may seem viable ammunition to shoot down the account with, on closer inspection they are not.

Firstly, if you assume that God exists and created only two people, these 2 beings would have been genetically perfect and there would be no bad traits to be inherited or magnified by intermarrying in these opening times. This leads to the second point, it was after the fall that the mechanisms of death and decay started slowly accumulating small genetic mistakes. thats why in the times that Leviticus was written God introduced the Laws against incest, to prevent any genetic problems developing. However incest was not prohibited before this time, or else, as you rightly point out the human race would have started and finished with adams family.

So to summarise the Bible's teaching on this - Adam and Eve had several male and female offspring, cain married one of his sisters or one of his sisters' children. This was not forbidden at this time since the laws that forbid incest were not given till later in the book of Leviticus. I hope this information will be useful to you, since I believe that sooner or later you will get the chance to tell God why he doesn't exist face to face, so I just want you to be well prepared.

Thankyou, John, Belfast.

Makes Sense

I am not an educated woman, but I do consider myself 'bright'. What yo have written about Adam and Eve, to me, makes sense. However, as a believer in God and Christ, my faith lies in my heart, not in a book that really should not be taken too literaly since it has been translated from its original text. There are somethings in this world we are never really to understand. We just need to believe. That alone might be a test.
