I think probably, John, that all humanity had to
have come through Adam and Eve. This does not mean that Cain and then Abel had
to have been their first children (I guess), but in order for Christ
to be the go'el or Kinsmen Redeemer of
mankind, there has to have been a common ancestry, i.e., a common
bloodline. That is the significance of Luke taking Jesus' genealogy all the way
back to Adam: Christ therefore as the Second Man was qualified to represent
everyone represented by the first man.

So Cain and Abel were children # 1
and #2. and when Cain killed
Able -- who was he afraid of -- I mean, where
did those people come from? I personally believe that Adam and Eve
were not the only people created. But that is not a popular
opinion. If we go with the standard opin -- Cain
was afraid of his own people!!!!

I hate to tell you this B but the children generally come NINE
Months AFTER the FACT!
Blainerb: Hmm, let's see, chapter three of Genesis ends
with the couple being driven out of the paradisiacal garden, then chapter 4 begins as follows:
"And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she
conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the
Lord."
Sounds like the fun began AFTER leaving the garden!!!! But
no timetable is given.

it was a good commandment! But why did they not have
children until they were 1) changed into mortal beings, and 2) forced out

is no reason to think that Judy would not have been here if there
had been no fall. The command to "Be fruitful and multiply"
came prior to the fall. See Genesis 1:28.

Judy. Without Adam and Eve's partaking of the forbidden fruit, none of us
including your wonderful self would even be
here--Adam and Eve would just be lounging around in their perfect
little paradise, never knowing good from evil and not even
caring. But they would be eternally pure and goody-good
righteous.. Is that what you think the Lord really
wanted?

The trees in the garden DaveH are the two kinds of
wisdom. The tree of life is "pure, peaceable, and full of
good fruit" and this is the tree God wanted His creation to eat
from. The other tree - the one the serpent was promoting -
is earthly, sensual, and demonic. So take your pick.
One leads to life and the other to death.
