Bible Question: If God made Adam and Eve and they had children how did their children have children. |
Bible Answer: Hi BB187! When you have time, please complete a profile so that we can get to know you better. Now to your question. In Genesis 4:4-16 we are told that Adam and Eve's son Cain, after the murder of his brother Abel, was banished from the presence of God. He went to land east of Eden, where he and his wife began to have children. We aren't told the wife's name, and I think that's by design--we aren't told the names of all of Adam and Eve's children but since Adam lived more than 800 years, we can be sure that there were many children. But the short answer is that Adam and Eve's children had children with each other. That is called incest now, and it is wrong for moral and biological reasons. Exodus chapter 20, Leviticus chapters 15-22, Numbers 5, and Deuteronomy chapters 22-27 are a few references prohibiting all sorts of sexual immorality. God bless you, and know that God accomplished the creation of mankind so that we would all be related, and Jesus's life, death and resurrection assures that we all can be reunited in God's presence.
