How Long Did Adam & Eve Live In The Garden Of Eden?
« on: April 03, 2007, 09:01 PM »

God created heaven and earth in 6 days and rested on the 7th day. How many days, or weeks or months or years did Adam and Eve live in the Garden of Eden before they were driven out of it by God??

My bros ishmael, honesty stimulus doesn't know that much, neither does he pretend knowledge that he doesn't have. The one thing I do know, however, is that Adam lived that long to be nine hundred and thirty years before he died (Gen. 5:5).

The question you posed is as much a blanket one that leads nowhere in the same lane as you will find other questions running. For instance, someone could as well ask, 'How long did Adam and Eve live outside the Garden?' What would be your answer to that, ishmael? Anything you and I offer as answers to those two questions would be strictly our personal opinions and nothing more - unless we can categorically prove such answers with texts from the Bible.

The essential thing for me is that Adam and Eve were in the Garden1, ate from the tree of which they were expressly forbidden2, were subsequently driven out3; but a promise of redemption made in reference to the Fall4.

That prophecy has been fulfilled in Christ5, and by God's grace millions (including me) have believed on Him to the saving of the soul6, and the obtaining of a far more eternal weight of glory7.

Shalom.

My bro.da ishmael, bragado and shakara about Bible knowledge will not help us Oo!! Shocked

Just want to keep statistics. I know Noah was in the ark for 40 days and 40 nights; and Jonah was in the fish belly for 3 days and 3 nights, Jesus was in the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights, etc. is there anything wrong in knowing that of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden??

this is my own personal belief as the garden of eden never existed as stated in the bible, the adam and eve characters are just mythical

Adam & Eve were removed from the garden on the new moon of the fourth month of the 8th year after creation (Jubilees 3:33)
