Were Adam and Eve ever even married?

[Voskhod]

I think I just...I may be onto something here.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

The bond was closer than that. Eve was Adam's clone.

....
In that case, both Adam and Eve had the same genetic makeup - meaning they both had XY sex Chromosomes, since Adam came first.
So the first couple ever made was actually between a man and a transvestite, both of whom were never married to each other in the first place, and gave birth to the human race through decades of constant incest-sex with their own children?

Gosh, the Bible can be so fun when you deconstruct it...

Yea, but we have to look at it a bit closer than cloning.

A marriage is a union of two people. Since Eve was created as a female counterpart to Adam, that makes her his other half.

It was a separation. They were not only not married, but, they were divorced.

Oh snap, Adam and Eve are going to Hell and Yahweh is joining them for being a part of it.

Let us pray....

Transgendered, not transvestite. I mean, they did wear the same fig leaves, but that's just because the laundry hadn't come back.

THAT WHORE!

[AllPurposeAtheist]

That's it! Next time I see some...some...'W O M A N' eating fresh fruit I'm stoning that whore to death. It was a woman eating fresh fruit who made all evil in the world...right? Then she covered her nakedness! That WHORE!
Note: just expanding on Mermaid's whore reference..I'm really not against women, just whores who like fresh fruit. :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_Eve

Mitochondrial Eve is named after mitochondria and the biblical Eve.[2] Unlike her biblical namesake, she was not the only living human female of her time. However, her female contemporaries failed to produce a direct unbroken female line to any living woman in the present day.
Mitochondrial Eve is estimated to have lived approximately 200,000 years ago,[3] most likely in East Africa,[4] when Homo sapiens sapiens (anatomically modern humans) were developing as a population distinct from other human sub-species.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-chromosomal_Adam

A paper published in March 2013 determined that, with 95% confidence and that provided there are no systematic errors in the study's data, Y-chromosomal Adam lived between 237,000 and 581,000 years ago.[2] Earlier studies have estimated the date for Y-MRCA as between 60,000[3] and 142,000 years ago.[4]
Analogous to Y-chromosomal Adam, Mitochondrial Eve is the woman from whom all living humans are descended matrilineally. The inherited DNA in the female case is her mtDNA, rather than his nuclear Y chromosome. There is no reason to suggest that Y-chromosomal Adam and Mitochondrial Eve should have lived at the same time[5] and Mitochondrial Eve is estimated to have lived approximately 200,000 years ago.

And we've been like blaming shit on women because of the Garden of Eden for generations, when in fact Adam and Eve never met. Talk about misogynistic beliefs.

Were biblical Adam and Eve married? In the Mormon religion yes, because the priesthoods and lineages all begin with Adam. The fig leaf apron representing the covering of our privates is endemic in the temple endowment ceremony. A spiritual marriage is a requirement to be in the Celestial kingdom, otherwise they would not qualify as patriarch and matriarch.

I believe every religion assumes that they were married, because they are venerated for the most part.

[Solitary]

How would anyone know that Adam and Even existed? Just like people that see Christ or the Virgin Mary in a random stain on a tree trunk. Was there anyone that actually saw them? I asked my mother about how anyone knew about Adam and Eve if there wasn't anyone else when I was six years old. She told me there was a special place in hell for any boy that asks such dumb questions.  :shock:   :roll:  Solitary











how do they know what they looked like?

She got a better one after that.  8-)

Then she covered her nakedness! That WHORE!

So she's not only a round-heeled temptress, but she's also a cock tease as well. Well I *never*.

WTF kind of a woman WAS this Eve anyway?

[Gerard]

Eve was created the wife of Adam. A ceremony was not necessary because she was created married to him already..... One also wonders who may have been available to perform that ceremony, since there were only two people around in the first place.

2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

I should take up Christian apologetics.... It's not hard because it doesn't have to make all that much sense!  

The marriage solemnization from the Common Book of Prayer:

DEARLY beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God, and in the face of this congregation, to join together this Man and this Woman in holy Matrimony; which is an honourable estate, instituted of God in the time of man's innocency, signifying unto us the mystical union that is betwixt Christ and his Church; which holy estate Christ adorned and beautified with his presence, and first miracle that he wrought, in Cana of Galilee

One wonders when he actually instituted that. Can't find it in the Bible, unless he did so BY creating Eve as being already the wife of Adam.

More modern CoE solemnizations mention that:

Marriage is a gift of God in creation

Now Adam lived to be a whopping 8 or 9 centuries according to Scripture. Noah must have known him when he was a young 200 year old. Think of it! Those family gatherings would have needed an Ark sized venue! I can't remember how old Eve became, but Adam could have taken her to a registrars office after the fall to make an honest woman out of her....

The Scriptural basis seems weak however.....

The best kind (or the worst, depending on how delusional you are) - an imaginary one.  (Of course your husband and I don't come anywhere near that level of delusion.)
