Funny, when God pronounced the curse on Adam and Eve, He said that Eve's conception would greatly increase. IOW, before the fall, most of sex would NOT have been for the purpose of having children.

::Facepalm:: That's not what it means at all.

It means originally the gestation period was very short. According to the midrash, Adam and Eve had sex twice on the day they were created leading, first to Cain and a twin sister, then to Abel and two "twin" sisters.

The punishment was pain in childbirth and the long gestation period we now know.

People really should learn to read the Bible before making such comments. The Bible--not a translation.

So y'all think sex was the first sin?

What fantasy you believe in!!!!!!

FYI...The Midrash is NOT the Bible.
