It doesn't say she had children before the fall.
well let's check the Record. Genesis 3:16 "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly
multiply thy
sorrow and thy
conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."
#1. the term
multiply: it simply means to INCREASE. and here the INCREASE is connected to "
sorrow" and "
conception".
so what is the Hebrew word for sorrow is H6093 עִצָּבוֹן `itstsabown (its-tsaw-ɓone') n-m.
worrisomeness, i.e.
labor or pain.
KJV: sorrow, toil.
and the Hebrew word for conception is, H2032 הֵרוֹן herown (hay-rone') n-m.
הֵרָיוֹן herayown (hay-raw-yone')
pregnancy.
[from H2029]
KJV: conception.
Understand, one cannot multiply, or increase something unless it hasn’t already happened. this is a scientific fact. example, if I was sitting in a vehicle, or a car for instance, I cannot increase, or multiply my speed in the car unless I'm already in motion. likewise, one cannot increase sorrow, (labor or pain), unless it has already happened. this verse show us that the woman Eve already had conception, (pregnancy, with little on no labor or pain), and therefore children from these conceptions. and now because of the disobedience, these LABOR PAINS are increased.
so Eve had children in the Garden, BEFORE THE FALL INTO SIN.
There's no such thing as "Fallen nature" - there's just "Human Nature".
ERROR, before the Fall, Adam did not have BLOOD. and Natural Blood is the LIFE of NATURAL HUMAN FLESH. supportive scripture, Leviticus 17:11 "
For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul."
so, Adam and Eve did not have NATURAL HUMAN LIFE IN the Garden.
Also, Genesis 3:20 "And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living”. notice the language used here again. the personal name Eve itself lets us know that she had children in the garden. for the woman was given the name Eve for a reason. Names have meaning in the bible. Here, it means she “was”
the "MOTHER" of all LIVING, (kjv). “was” is a past tense designation, meaning she “was” a mother already at the time she acquired the personal name. This is why she got the name in the first place to identify who she was, “the mother of all living”. that just told us something about all of her children that are to come now in sin. all her children
before she sinned “WAS” alive to God, both physically and Spiritually. now onward, (from the fall), all her children are in sin, meaning they are dead spiritually speaking to God, and decaying, or dying in this WORLD. This is the reason why we, of Adam "FALLEN" line must be, have to be, BORN again. the Lord Jesus explains this in John chapter 3 to a man named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews likewise no one calls anyone mother unless they have living or had living children before.
The name EVE by itself tells us that she HAD children already, (in the Garden before the Fall). and on top of that she was the mother of
ALL LIVING, (which eliminates any other race of people outside of her and Adam).
why say all living? because all the children she had before the fall into sin was
alive spiritually and naturally unto God. Now a few revelations. by having children in the garden before the fall, one can now understand who those other people that Cain was afraid of, (read chapter 4 on his exile from the Garden. they were his spiritually alive, naturally alive, but now decaying kinfolk. in our modern language. This is why some in the fallen line progress many years in decaying. now the question is, how long was it that Adam and Eve was having children in the garden before the fall. and how many GENERATIONS of offspring was born before Cain and Able came alone in the fallen state, outside the Garden? only God knows. It could have been hundreds, thousand, or even millions of years. Having children in the garden. also this answers the pre-Adamic error, as well as the sons of God in chapter 6.
Please note, there are two lines from Adam, the none fallen line, the sons of God who are Spiritually alive to God, (meaning that still have the Spirit, but because of Adam sin, now decaying also, and with blood), and these are mistaken with the fallen angles of Genesis 6, which is a Major ERROR.
And the fallen line, “US”, who are, or was Spiritually dead to God until he came in our likeness, and redeemed us from sin and death. yes, the bible was written to us the fallen line in Adam, this is why we must be in Christ line, the Second or Last Adam, with eternal life, (NO DECAY or entropy). there is no more NATURAL death, nor broken “FELLOWSHIP” in Christ Jesus. why because of G.R.A.C.E as a poster made clear,,,,, (smile).
so Adam and Eve had children in the Garden because the Command was to Genesis 1:28 "And God blessed them, and God said unto them,
Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
