How did Adam and Eve live?

Answer 1

AnswerAccording to the biblical account, Adam and Eve were the first persons in creation and lived about 6,000 years ago, when the world was created. Before they ate the forbidden fruit, they lived in the Garden of Eden, but were ejected by God for their sin.

Theologists have long wondered where the Garden of Eden was, but usually assume that it was somewhere in the Middle East. However, we have ample evidence of human settlements long before 6,000 years ago, meaning that the biblical account of Adam and Eve and the genealogies of their descendants are not literally true. Moreover, we know from Archaeology that humans have lived on earth for millions of years - long before the time attributed to Adam and Eve. So, Adam and Eve did not really exist. And, if they did not exist, neither did the Garden of Eden.

Answer
Genesis 2

"8And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

9And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

10And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

11The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

12And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

13And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

14And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. "

The present day location cannot be pinpointed due to the total upheaval of the landmass and points of reference during the Flood of Noah's day.

Answer 2

Following the Genesis story, they lived alone at first. They had 3 children who are named in the accounts, including Cain and Abel. Many who believe the accounts more literally will have to argue that they had many more offspring than those recorded. Some would also argue that Adam and Eve didn't exist as historical people.

Well, Adam and Eve lived for like 900 years and God allowed them to stay younger a little longer than usual so they could populate the earth. For instance, they wouldn't get old at 50 or 60 like people do today and live the remaining 840 years as old people. God probably slowed down the aging process. That means that Adam and Eve probably had many, many more kids than just 3 in that period of time.

No Adam and Eve did not live alone.

Biblical text attests that Adam was formed as the man to till the soil (after the 7th day of rest). This means Adam (ethhaadam) was formed of 6th day creation on the 8th day. 2nd Peter ch3 will help you with the 3 reiterations of this earth (you are on the second). The same text will help you understand that each day of the Lord is 1000 years in man days. Therefore the first 7 days (1st week) of this 2nd reiteration of earth was 7000 years long, we are now on the 6th day of the second week. Christ will reign for 1000 years (Revelation 20) assumed to be the 7th day of this 2nd reiteration of earth.

Therefore there were people walking this earth as it was being replenished (Genesis 1:28) for 2000 years before Adam was formed. Adam and Eve were not alone,

Answer 3

Adam and Eve lived well in the Garden of Eden. Adam had the responsibility of tilling and keeping up the garden according to Genesis 2:15. Eve had the responsibility of being a helpmate to her husband, according to Genesis 2:18, 20.

But once they left Eden, Adam and Eve may not have lived quite so well. God promised that Eve would experience pain in having children, according to Genesis 3:16. God also promised that Adam would have to work hard, according to Genesis 3:17-19. But the divine promises notwithstanding, Adam and Eve did well enough to raise a family that did well enough to raise their own families and so on.
