Adam did not give eve one rib... God took a rib from Adam to create woman, so it was God not Adam first of all...   there is alot more to it... learn your catechism!!!

The fall of Adam and Eve was from disobeying God.\n\nIt wasnt about what they did, because there was only one thing that they could not do, and that was touch or eat from the tree of the Knowledge of good and evil.\n\nAdam possessed much knowledge, ( he named all the animals)\n\nThere were only two humans on the earth at the time of the fall and God had already told them to go forth and be fruitful and multiply, so Sex could have never been an issue, as it was not forbidden.

Interesting but contrary to Scripture. I understand the problem you're considering and offer this as a possible solution...\n\nAdam and Eve were perfect and it took several generations before the degenerating gene pool became severe enough to forbid incest.

Good point.  \n\nA friend's mum, when confronted with the statement it was a womans fault this happened, replys, 'It took the very Devil himself to tempt Eve.  It only took a woman to tempt the man.'\n\nclever response, I think (whether you are a Christian or not).  It usually shuts them (typically a man) up.

We are alive to carry on our species, no more and no less. It is the same with the whole of creation.\nWe as human beings though are thinking, sentient beings capable of questioning even our very existence, as you have done. Not only do we question, but we seek answers, answers that will be passed on for the benefit of the next generation. We learn from our mistakes, and the mistakes of others. Yes there are many reasons for our existence, very many reasons.

because they want to think that we live in a perfect world where men love women and things are concrete, but things are not always concrete and times change.  people are not ashamed of homsexuality anymore and that scares people so the easiest thing to do is blame the people who engage in these activities because blaming it on hormones and dna would be blaming god, and anything that he does can't be wrong.

because our parents had intercourse*

Since Adam and Eve graduated from Eden, god seems to have left the building and developed a bad habit of not returning his calls.  We're all on our own, we have to do the best we can.  Don't go looking for reasons to feel guilty, you'll only make yourself crazy.

Because we reap what we sow, and we deserve it........we need to learn those lessons the hard way because it makes us a stronger person later on and it builds character, it might teach you to be more responsible and teach you to think before you act the next time. Many reasons.

to allow the flesh to rule in our lives, giving into lust,greed, jealousy, hatred etc, we are held in bondage to sin. when we have overcome these fleshly emotions and actions, we are free, from guilt of sin, we are at peace, we can learn to love without expectations and demands.\nI hope this is what you were looking for.

Because you are a human organism.   The entire system evolved together, with much feedback from one system to another because that has high survival value.  Why do you question it; it works!  It's Mother Nature's way.

just because we want to know it all . so we act as if we do, besides it is part of the human nature. and if you are relgous you would defently find the answer in the holy book . as it mostly explanes the human nature.

Bible doesn't specify what the carpenter built, was it furniture or boats? Why mention it? Same thing, Jesus was human and it was normal to be married, so why write about something that is obvious? Even the gnostics, who wrote that he loved her, didn't mention any details at all. If the writer's intention was to only make Mary look like Jesus' wife, then she (gnostic writers were mainly females) would have added details. They didn't because it is irrlevent, it's the "love" that is important and that's all. However note that the gnostics married spiritually, the marriage ceremony was sexual intercourse. Note also the wedding mentioned in the Christian bible... it was "on the third day" (significance?), the groom always provided the wine (Jesus turned water into wine there [this is symbolical, not a miracle]). Then, who is "the disciple whom Jesus loved"? Why does the writer not simply say who it is? If bible is "word of God" then the reader has a right to know. Why the mystery? The reason is because the gnostics were all about "hidden knowledge", that is how they wrote. Gospel of John is the most "gnostic" of the synoptics. No time left, but yes there is more than enough evidence to support that the Magdalene was Jesus' consort.

Are you kidding me?  God wants us to take delight in our spouses.  Sex isn't just for procreation.  Otherwise why would it feel so good?  He would have made it about as much fun as planting a garden.  My husband and I are both born-again Christians.  The only reason I don't moan loud is because I have kids in the house.  I too say read the Song of Solomon.  That book is quite direct about the pleasures of sex.  And it is in the Bible.

Because God created everything on earth for man.  He said it is all good.  Why not enjoy it if we are ment to.

It is a possibility that Adam and Eve were actually clothed with light. When sin entered, the light was gone and they knew that they were naked. Until God gives us our new bodies, our current one is incomplete and exposed.\n\nI have no negative connotations to the naked form. Your avitar is a beautiful rendition. However, it needs to be framed in such a way to reveal the beauty of form and not corrupt it by provoking our base nature. That is where the negativity comes in to play. It's not the subject, it is the audience that God is concerned with. God looks on the heart, and what is going on in that heart when it views the form? Is the audience thinking of the mastery of God's creation, or "What's her phone number?"?\n___________________\n"Doesn't the "sin" then belong to the person who cannot control and rise above the baser instincts ? The "sin", is not to be pinned to the nude female form, which is entirely natural, but to the brain of the male twisting something basic, into something sexual. Is it not ?"\n\nWow, made me think. It really comes down to motive. What is the motivation for the nudity, as well as the motivation of the observer. God could care less about the flesh, He knows it is just a tent. God looks at the heart. If the nude is posing for an art class, I see no problem at all--and all the students are there to learn how to properly represent the human form. There are way too many girls who are willing to go nude and pose in very unartistic poses in order to appeal to the base nature. Why? Because there is money to be made. There, the poser and the nude have to numb their conscience, which in the long term, will be destructive to their eternal soul.\nNow, if the nude posing for the art class is being watched through the window by someone who wants to appeal to the base nature, there we see the motivation of the heart, as well as where the sin truly lies.
