Zone1 Did God want people to have children after the Fall of Man?

[Midnight FM]

God's commandment to Adam and Eve to "be fruitful and multiply" is often taken out of context.

God gave this commandment to Adam and Eve in Eden, because they were the original humans and their job was to populate the earth. I believe that Eden may have been the ideal set of conditions in which to bear children.

However, after the Fall of Man, God said that childbirth would become a source of suffering:

I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
with painful labor you will give birth to children

In the New Testament, Paul said that it may be better not to marry (and, presumably, not to have children):

I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I.

9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

Adam and Eve were not humans. Their firstborn was the very first Human.

However, it was the sins of man before that great flood that led to our downfall.

There is also the possible myth of the Nephilim.

Buzzzz ... small mistake ... God told Noah and his sons to "be fruitful and multiply" ... Genesis 9:1 ... the Earth was empty of people and God wanted it filled again ... Genesis 1:22 was on the Fifth Day of Creation ... Man was created on the Sixth Day ...

I think The Song of Solomon is the better source for answers to these questions ... I respect Paul, but Paul isn't God and doesn't speak by command ..

3 - Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 - As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5 - Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

Psalms 127

well, Noah, then

 

[Woodznutz]

The original curse concerning childbirth was given as such; "You shall go on your belly, and eat dust."

"Belly": give birth vaginally, from the belly (Hebrew)

"Eat dust": Pregnant women the world over crave eating dirt, soil, clay, etc. It's called geophagia.

"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."
