what does the bible say?
Only Cain, Abel, and Seth are mentioned in the Bible as Adam and Eve’s children. However, Genesis 5:4 tells us that Adam “had other sons and daughters.” Although we cannot know for certain how many they had, we know Adam and Eve had other children. All people descended from Adam and Eve. That truth creates an automatic bond between all people. We are also bound by the fact that we are all sinners needing to be reconciled to God, as a result of Adam and Eve’s sin (Romans 5:18–19). God created the first people, Adam and Eve, and instructed them to have children (Genesis 1:28). God created the family unit and intended for people to flourish in these relationships.
