What happened to the sons of Adam and Eve?

In the biblical Book of Genesis, Cain and Abel are the first two sons of Adam and Eve. The brothers made sacrifices to God, but God favored Abel’s sacrifice instead of Cain’s. Cain then murdered Abel out of jealousy, whereupon God punished Cain by condemning him to a life of wandering.

What was the actual sin committed by Adam and Eve?

In traditional Christian teaching, original sin is the result of Adam and Eve’s disobedience to God when they ate a forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.

Did Adam and Eve love each other?

But was this a love story — or just a biblical fable that set the tone for gender roles for thousands of years? Author Bruce Feiler’s new book, “The First Love Story: Adam, Eve, and Us,” aims to clear up any doubts. Adam and Eve were definitely in love, Feiler says.

Did Adam and Eve have more than one family?

We know that Adam and Eve had other sons and daughters in addition to Abel, Cain, and Seth ( Gen. 5:4 ), and if there was only one original family, then the first marriages had to be between brothers and sisters. Such marriages in the beginning were not harmful.

Did Adam and Eve have children between Abel and Seth?

At first glance, Genesis 4-5 sounds like it’s saying Adam and Eve didn’t have any children between Abel and Seth. It says that “After the birth of Seth, Adam lived another 800 years and he had other sons and daughters,” (5:4) as if there was a long period where it was just Adam, Eve, and their two sons followed by a big expansion after Seth.

Did Adam’s sons and daughters marry their sisters and brothers?

If the race was to populate and fulfill the command of Gen. 1:28, there is little doubt that Adam’s sons and daughters had to have married their own sisters and brothers if the race was to populate the earth, but due to the purity of the race as evidenced also by the long length of life, there were no adverse effects as we see happening today.

Were Adam and Eve the first human beings on Earth?

Some scholars have suggested the answer is that Adam and Eve were not the first and only human beings created, simply the ones Genesis focuses on because they are the ones who lived in the Garden of Eden.
