Did Adam and Eve have children in paradise?

I think they could have had many children in the Garden. However, Cain's arrival seems to fit in with what Eve thought to be a prophetic promise that the seed of the woman will bruise the head of the serpant. In that prophecy Gen. 3:15 "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." Hence Cain's envy of Abel's sacrifice being accepted and his being rejected. Eve might have had an inadvertant hand in the death of Abel. So if there was a family living in paradise and sinless their sinlessness would not have lasted long due to Adam sinning they would have all fallen because sin had entered the world. I think when we read about Cain and Abel this is a whole different chapter of human history apart from the garden.

They were removed from the garden before any children were born. Eve named her first child to reflect his birth when she said (obviously paraphased) ' I have gotten a child with the help of God'. She was making reference to God's curse of her after the fall. Also, it says after they were kicked out of the garden, Adam knew his wife Eve. Plus, Cain killed Abel and committed sin because of his sinful nature. This would not have been possible until after Adam and Eve's fall from grace.

My belief is this-how many times does God have to command something or for that matter even say something for it to be true? Gen:1:28 God said " be fruitful and multiply" whitch was His first order to Adam and Eve. The sin of disobedience that violated Gods command was the act of taking from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God told Eve He would greatly increase her pain in child birth; how do you increase something that she had never experienced? Adam named his wife Eve because she was the mother of all the living: Cain and Able hadn't been born yet. In Luke Adam is referred to as the son of God. Adam was created in Gods image and was sinless in his nature and so was Eve. If children were born in the garden they would have been sinless in nature also because man had not violated Gods Law yet. In Gen:6 the scripture said that the sons of God saw the daughters of men and they were beautiful and they wanted them. What could be a better answer than this for Gods disgust with man kind because pure hearted children and children with a fallen sin nature had cohabited and produce an offspring that offended God.look at Gen:6:3 and 4 then Gen:5,6 and 7 make sence. What kind of person would these double natured creatures have been and what would their children have been because they were the offspring of a pure hearted father and a mother with a fallen sin nature. Also this answers where Cain got his wife and why God destroyed all humanity. Gen.6:13 said the end of all flesh has come befour Me,and Noah found favor in the eye of The Lord, Gen.7:1

The question should be hinged on the first command given to mankind (be fruitful amd multiple) and then the question is begged, how long were they in the garden being obedient. Another situation that begs the question about children is: who was Cain afraid of? In the curse pronounced against Eve, God said that her pain in child bearing will be multiples, you only multiple that which is known. I personally believe that child bearing was taking place in the garden for an untold amount of time, I support this position with Romans 5:12-13 which states that all men did not sin, but rather sin spread throughout the world by he act of Adam. It took nearly a thousand years for sin to reach its pinnacle at the flood, but keep in mind there were still sinless people, such as Enoch who was translated to be with he Lord. In the end you have to decide what he evidence and inferences point toward.

No they did not, here is the timeline as I see it:

The commandments:

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.

Genesis 2:16-17 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Consequence for Breaking the 2nd commandment:

Genesis 3:23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

The children come:

Genesis 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.
