The bible confuses me, can someone help me make sense of this mess?

its a good story, leave it at that.... thomas

I know his first 3 sons were Cain,Abel,and Seth,then in Genesis 5:4 it says, After Seth was born,Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. The whole chapter 5 is about Adams History.

There were already human beings on Earth when Adam and Eve were created, just not like us. We might call them cavemen. Adam and Eve and their sons were the first fully intelligent human beings. The boys took their wives from the "daughters of man" which were more like the daughters of caveman.

Eden was a place, not on Earth, but in Heaven. When God cast Adam and Eve from the garden, the bible says he made for them "Clothes of skin" or "Clothes of flesh." Most people think this means that God took some animal skins and made clothing for Adam and Eve, but they could have done that themselves. What it's actually referring to is the creation of their physical bodies. In Eden they were only souls, but on Earth they had bodies.

When they were born on Earth, they were born to un-evolved human parents. They were soul mates from their creation in Eden, so they found each other on Earth and were able to have sons. Their sons took wives from the other tribes of humans.

people already complain that the bible is too long. if every little thing that happened during that time was in the bible, it would be 1,000,000 pages long. maybe they did have daughters. maybe God also created other families. after you've read Genesis at least 3 times, the whole book, maybe you'll come up with an answer of your own.

It says that Adam had 'other sons and daughters' after seth was born. Often in biblical geneology it doesn't include female bloodlines.

You must remember though, back then the law of moses which teaches against inscest wasn't written until about 1500 years later.

The three boys got married to a sheep, cow, and cat. That was part of what was missed. God just told me, so it has to be real.

Oh, and with all the children coming from Adam and Eve, lots and lots of inbreeding. Surprising that humans can even function if that silly Bible is believed.

In the geneology of Adam it lists that he had sons and daughters!

God probably created more people. Read the first few chapters of Genesis and you'll see what I mean.

I hope you can get past that hurdle and move on to a more important bible lesson.

wait for the christians answers and you will get more confused
