Many Christians believe that sex is intended, by God, for procreation only. This is why practicing Catholics do not believe in using birth control.
If this is the case, there are only three scenarios possible for Adam and Eve while in the Garden of Eden:
1) They did not have sex in the Garden of Eden because no children were born to them until after they were evicted. Remember, they had to have been the best of health therefore fertility would have been assured.
2) Adam and Eve did have plenty of sex. Therefore, God allowed sex for purposes other than procreation. God did not yet program Adam and Eve to conceive while they were still in the Garden.
3) Adam and Eve had sex, conceived, but were not in the Garden long enough (nine months) for the pregnancy to result in childbirth.
Any thoughts?
They didn't make children through sex before the fall, but they did after the fall, and then childbirth came in pain.
That's what makes this good.
We can all have an opinion and I haven't seen any nasty stuff here.
Give yourselves a pat on the back, but, remember it's only 24" from a kick in the ass, so be careful.
