Topic: ADAM & EVE | |
---|---|
if you read a real bible and not the kjv, it states clearly the following....adam and eve were the first of human creation...not the only ones. eden is on the plane we call heaven, not on earth. both were in godlike form until they were banished it was then God created mankind. if you notice the kjv states that kain would bare the mark for other nations to see.
Actually, if you study the Hebrew Scriptures, you would know that there are TWO versions of the creation. Which is the correct version? In one, the animals were created first. In the other, Adam. Genesis 1:20-26 20 And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. [. . .] 24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." [ . . .] 26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." In this version (not translation, mind you), it is clear that Adam was not the first being created. Second, PLEASE support your statement that Yahweh/Elohim created other people? There is NO mention of it in Genesis. Even when Cain went into the Land of Nod to find a wife, it doesn't give a timeline nor does it say that god had created the people in Nod. Stick with what is written, not supposition. Eden is not on the heavenly plane--again, give proof from the scriptures to prove your point. If it were on a heavenly plane, why would it have been necessary to post "cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life" (Genesis 3:24)? The guard was to keep out Adam and Eve--if Eden had been in heaven and the pair were expelled to Earth, no guard would have been needed. Adam and Eve were not in godlike form--how do you substantiate this? In fact, after they eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, they were banished from Eden so that they wouldn't eat from the tree that would make them immortal: Genesis 3:21, "And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." NIV. |
