Adam and eve did the first sin I have been wondering what did they do ? And what was the out come of the sin? Because many of christian think that they had sex. And I do think that they had right to have sex because they were suppiosed to produce children
I wait eagerly to receive your answer God bless you

The sin was not sex, it was choosing to turn from God. Specifically, going "behind his back" to do other than his will. They chose to do something they were commanded not to do in eating from the tree.

RickJ,
I believe you are right in your statement that the sin was not sex and we muslims also believe it was satan (I think it is depicted in some religions as a snake?) who turned Adam away from God at that moment of sin as Satan was jealous of Adam.

Adam and Eve ate of the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. That went against what they were commanded. Genesis 2:17. The consequence of that sin was that they were cast out of Eden forever and forced to make a living by tilling the soil. Genesis 3:19-24. In Christian theology this is connected to the doctrine of "original sin."

The sin, as both Rick and firmbeliever have stated, was not due to Adam and Eve engaging in marital relations.

Daniel, the bible is of no personal intepertation, once you have the full revelation of who Christ is you will know what happen in Eden.

We must never forget that when Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they sinned against Him which is called rebellion against God. God said to Adam, :Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?" (Genesis 3.11, NIV). Those two individuals represented the human race in God's sight because we are all made of the same substance. As a result sin entered the world and human beings failed God's command again by misusing God's intent for sex in marriage. The people invented adultery, fornication, homosexual acts, incest, and prostitution among a whole gross of other sins. These things have never left the human race and never will in this life.
