Was death one of Adam and Eve's children?
No. Death was a sentence pronounced on them for sin even before they ate of the fruit of the forbidden tree. YHWH God told them "the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden you shall not eat. For in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die!"Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and the moment they did so their glorious fellowship with God was severed - they died spiritually and also immediately began dying physically.
The Voice of YHWH God walked in the garden in the cool of the day and Adam and his wife hid among the trees of the garden in fear. When they had eaten of the fruit their eyes were opened and they knew they were naked. Prior to this they had been naked and unashamed. YHWH God called to them and said "Adam, where are you?" He summoned the man and woman before Him and asked of Adam if he had eaten from the tree from which he commanded him not to eat. Adam blamed God - the woman whom you gave to be with me gave me to eat and I ate. YHWH God asked the woman why she had done this and she replied that the serpent tempted her and she ate. YHWH God cursed the serpent and foretold that the Seed of the woman would crush the head of the serpent though His heel would be bruised thereby. The curse would be broken by the promised Seed. The woman was punished with pain in childbirth and she would always desire her husband who would rule over her. The ground was cursed for Adam's sake and he would eat bread by the sweat of his brow. He was taken from the dust and to dust he will return.
Then YHWH God saw that fig leaves were inadequate and He clothed them in skins to cover their nakedness. This was a Sovereign and tender act of God for which blood was shed. They were then driven from the garden of Eden by the Cherubim, until Messiah, the Lamb of God would come to die, be buried and rise again victorious over death.
The relation between Adam and eve were broken after their disobedience in the garden of Eden.
How did Adam and Eve populate the world in 6000 years?
The population of Adam and Eve's world was reduced to eight people in the flood. So, four couples jump-started the repopulation of the post-flood world.
But even the pre-flood world wasn't populated by Adam and Eve, alone. It was populated by their children, and their children's children, and their children's children's children, and their children's children's children's children... need I go on?
God's command to them was to "be fruitful and MULTIPLY"!!! (Gen.1:28)
My wife and I have three daughters... and we now have ten grandchildren. Multiplication gets you there rather quickly. [the three daughters and their three husbands - 6 all up - had a total of ten offspring]
People die every day... starvation, diseases, accidents and world wars have killed off millions of people in the course of thousands of years... but man has had no problem repopulating the world.
Today, in a world of billions of people... the problem seems to be deciding whether new life will be allowed to be born.
But, pro-creation is perhaps the one commandment of God that man has had no problem keeping.
What was the name of the forbidden fruit Adam and Eve ate?
The Bible only tells us she ate "The forbidden fruit" it doesnt describe the nature of the fruit. what we should focus on instead of what kind of fruit it was, is that she disobeyed God who warned her and Adam not to eat of the tree of life.
Was it fair that God punished Adam and Eve for eating the apple?
Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that in the story of Adam and Eve, their banishment was not really a punishment, but happened as a matter of necessity.
In the Book of Genesis, there were two forbidden trees in the Garden of Eden, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the Tree of Life. Once Adam and Eve had eaten the fruit (the "apple") of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, they were they were now like gods (Genesis 3:22: "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us..."), but had also become aware of their mortality.
The only difference between them and God (or the gods) was that they must die. By eating of the Tree of Life, they would then also be immortal. In Genesis 3:24, God drove out the man and placed at the entrance to the Garden of Eden, cherubim and a flaming sword to keep [block] the way of the Tree of Life. In the Genesis story, Adam and Eve were sent from the Garden and could not be allowed back for fear they would eat of the second tree.
Another thought:
Yes, according to the Bible, it was fair for God to punish Adam and Eve.
When God created the earth and placed mankind on it, he gave them everything they would need to be happy. A beautiful home in their Garden of Eden (meaning 'Paradise of Pleasure'), well watered grounds and plenty of trees and plants growing plenty of delicious food (Genesis 1:29-31), a purpose in life and satisfying work spreading their paradise to the entire globe (Genesis 1:28) and filling it with family, amazing animals to enjoy, everlasting perfect life, and a mate to share it with(Genesis 2:21-23). They were perfect in mind and body and clearly understood God's one request..."from every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction, but as for the tree in the middle of the garden, you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die". These were not stupid people, or imperfect sinners. They're life was uncomplicated... Don't eat from the one tree, and live forever. They KNEW and understood God's commandment, as is demonstrated by the fact that Eve quoted God's words when speaking to the serpent.(Genesis 3:1-3) . They had all they could ever want, and the only thing forbidden to them was one tree...not a hardship. This tree represented God's sovereignty, his 'right to make the rules'. By not eating from this one tree, they had the opportunity to show respect for their creator, acknowledge that He has the right to tell them what to do, and say thank-you for all he'd given. They're obedience was all God asked, and this for their own good, since following their creator's guidelines would keep them safe forever. When Eve was fooled by satan's lying words(Genesis 3:4-6)(1 Timothy 2:14), she still greedily wanted something that was not hers to have, and disobeyed her loving God. Adam should have corrected her, but intentionally chose to join the rebellion, and by eating the 'forbidden fruit', rejected God's rulership, opting to become his OWN 'god', making his OWN decisions on what was right and wrong(Genesis 3:17-19)(Genesis 3:12-13). In so doing, they 'sinned'against God and became imperfect. No longer able to maintain perfect life, they would now grow old and die, and every descendent coming from them would also be imperfect(Romans 5:12), bringing sin and death into the once peaceful world(Romans 5:14&17). Their selfish sin killed the entire human race.
This is exclusively a Christian issue. In Judaism, Adam is blamed for Eve's eating the apple. When God forbade eating from the Tree of Knowledge, He had not yet created Eve, so it was Adam's responsibility to explain to Eve that she should not eat from the tree.
Who was first on Earth - Satan or Man?
According to Job the angels sang at creation so Satan (back then known as Lucifer according to Ezekiel) probably was there first.

With reference to Adam and Eve, it just means that it's been happening for ages.
Does trivial pursuit have a bible edition?
Yes. There are Trivial Pursuits for almost every subject including the bible.
How can 'allegory' be explained and recognized in a story?
An allegory refers to the use of symbols. Symbols can be seen, and are used to represent things that can't be seen or can't be done. But the use of symbols makes it look like these particular things can be seen or done.
For example, God appears to Adam and Eve as a formless, invisible Voice. The Voice actually represents the all powerful God, who sees but can't be seen, speaks and can be spoken to. In the way of another example, the sinister serpent speaks in Genesis 3:1, 4-5. But slithering snakes don't speak. In Genesis, the slimy serpent actually represents the Devil, who has the power of speech.
Eve was the wife of Adam; she was the first woman & the mother of Cain, Abel, & Seth.
She also had other sons and daughters.
The Bible covers a historical period spanning thousands of years and an array of different settings. It describes such a vast amount of information and people that it would be nearly impossible for it to not be complex. However, this does not mean it is impossible to read and understand, and I encourage you to find a suitable study method and partners to help sift through all the details.
What did god said to Adam and Eve?
i am Muslim but the bible and the quran are almost similar so ok Adam and eve where living in heaven then god told them not to eat from a fruit tree (not really specified which type of fruit) anyways so god told them not to eat from it but then Satan (a.k.a the devil) just convinced them to eat from it so they ate from it and god said that they did not abide by what he said so he send them to earth
real virson:
God made the first two people on earth (Adam and Eve) and said to them to enjoy life on earth but not to eat the forbidden fruit from the tree of good and evil. Then the serpent who was really Satan (the devil) convinced Eve into eating the fruit. Eve gave some to Adam. Then, they tried to hide from God. God said to them you have disobeyed me. Adam then said that Eve had given him the fruit. Eve said the serpent made her do it. God punished them.
How many people called Adam were in the Bible?
There seems to be only one person called 'Adam' in the Book of Genesis, however some scholars say that some passages may have been intended to refer to different persons from the Adam of Genesis 2. Also, Adam actually means 'man', so some references arguably could be better interpreted as 'man' rather than 'Adam'.
Answer
The name Adam is mentioned in many books of the bible, but they only refer to Adam, the first man, the last mention is in Jude Ch.1v14. No doubt there were others called after Adam as there may have been many called Jesus. As these others play no part in the bible story they are not mentioned.
What was the sin Adam and Eve committed against God?
Disobedience.
They were given a clear instruction not to eat the fruit of a certain tree, but they chose to ignore the instruction and ate the fruit.
The command to "be fruitful and multiply" given to Adam and Eve in the Bible was meant as an instruction to populate and fill the earth with their descendants. They were the first human beings created by God and were tasked with the responsibility of starting the human race.
What part of the body did Paul recommend wine for?
Paul suggested Timothy take some wine for the sake of his stomach and his frequent cases of sickness. (1Timothy 5:23)

What is the story of Eve in The Bible?
You should look in the Bible, at the beginning of Genisis. It wouldn't hurt to find out for yourself, because the Bible is fun to read!
Answer:In the traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam (Abrahamic Faiths) Adam was the first man.
The first woman is a bit more difficult to pin down.
The first woman (identified as Lillith in the Jewish tradition) was created earlier in Genesis from the dust of the Earth like Adam (Genesis 1: 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.)
Eve was the woman created from Adams rib. (Genesis 2: 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.)
In what part of the Jesse tree are Adam and Eve?
Adam and Eve are at the beginning of the family tree that leads to Jesse. Their son Seth represents the first generation between the couple and their descendant Jesse. Noah represents the seventh, Abraham the 17th, and Jesse the 28th. The 29th generation is represented by King David [I Chronicles 1:1-4, 24-28, 34; 2:1, 4-5, 9-11, 14].
What is the meaning of the saying 'all about Eve'?
The saying 'all about Eve' refers to the world's first woman, Eve, as the source of human woes. Eve and her husband Adam were told by God not to eat of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. But Eve listened to the sinister serpent's lie that the fruit would give the couple immortality and divine knowledge. She ate of the fruit, and convinced Adam to do likewise. The consequence was the loss of paradise and of immortality, and the introduction of sin and death into the human condition.
How long did Eve the Bible character live?
The Bible does not say but Adam died when 930 (Genesis 5:5). A Jewish tradition has Eve dying one day after Adam.
