Children
Did Adam and Eve have any children before the Fall?
Some may disagree, but RTG believes that Adam and Eve did not have children until after they sinned. The reason being is if a child was born before the fall of man, then that child would be sinless just like Adam and Eve. When Adam ate from the fruit, he passed on the sin nature to all humans, including everyone today. Because of Adam’s rebellion, all people will eventually die (Rom. 5:12). If Adam had a child beforehand, then that child would not inherit the curse (unless he also ate some of the fruit) and therefore not have to experience death and suffering. That child would theoretically still be living today. The Bible is not clear on this question and it remains as a debatable issue.
