Maybe Adam is the first man!!

<< < (5/11) > >>

All -

I do not see or get this.

If Humanity was created male and female; and then later The Lord selected Adam - why was Adam not with another woman and why did The Lord make Eve for Adam.

I can understand that The Lord selected Adam to make him into a different type of a man / humanity - but I just do not understand the reason why Adam was lonely until Eve was given to him by The Lord.

Hi George, here is excerpt from Genesis 2 in the CLV in case you don't have it.

Gen 2:15 And taking is Yahweh Elohim the human that he had formed and is leaving him in the garden of Eden to serve it and to keep it.
Gen 2:16 And instructing is Yahweh Elohim the human, saying, "From every tree of the garden, you are to eat, yea, eat.
Gen 2:17 Yet from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you are not to be eating from it, for in the day you eat from it, to die shall you be dying.
Gen 2:18 And saying is Yahweh Elohim, "Not good is it for the human for him to be alone. Make for him will I a helper as his complement.
Gen 2:19 And furthermore Yahweh Elohim, having formed from the ground all field life and every flyer of the heavens, He is also bringing it to the human to see what he will call it. And whatever the human living soul is calling it, that is its name.
Gen 2:20 And calling is the human the names for every beast and for every flyer of the heavens, and for all field life. Yet for the human He does not find a helper as His complement.
Gen 2:21 And falling is a stupor on the human, caused by Yahweh Elohim, and he is sleeping. And taking is He one of his angular organs and is closing the flesh under it.
Gen 2:22 And Yahweh Elohim is building the angular organ, which He takes from the human, into a woman, and bringing her is He to the human.
Gen 2:23 And saying is the human, "This was once bone of my bones and flesh from my flesh. This shall be called woman, for from her man is this taken.
Gen 2:24 Therefore a man shall forsake his father and his mother and cling to his wife, and they two become one flesh.
Gen 2:25 And coming are they two, the human and his wife, to be naked, yet are not shaming themselves.

That may raise more questions than it answers, but it a helpful version in distinguishing verb tenses and a more 'concordant' translation, though it doesn't make it a perfect translation as no such thing exists.

Hi George,

The way I am seeing this is that the first man and woman created in Genesis 1 was to began the creation of humans on the earth. I do not believe it was an experiment to see how humans would do or something, as some have suggested. It was to establish humans on the earth and to produce a population that were self sufficient and lived off the land without manipulating it at all.

God formed Adam as a new human, not so much as different in form, intelligence or capability as the others, but Adam was to be the beginning of 'God's people' down through history. We have a list in Hebrews 11 of many names that were faithful servants of God in the OT.

I believe Adam was taught many things (much more than just farming) by God that Adam and his descendants were to likewise teach to the rest of the world. This would bring about a huge leap forward in the progress towards sophistication of the human race, exactly as God intended.

It was with Adam that God began His interaction with people and all through the OT we see that He continued to work with Adam's descendants through history on down to when Jesus Christ was born in the flesh on earth.

After Jesus Christ came God no longer had a particular line of people that were dealt with and known as His people. No, from then on a person was considered God's chosen by the indwelling of His Holy Spirit.

Rom 8:9  But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

Gal 3:26  For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
27  For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28  There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29  And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Col 3:11  where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.

Rom 2:28  For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh;
29  but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.

This is the process God developed, a very intricate plan that in many cases you can see there were events that foreshadows things that would come later on.

mercy, peace and love

Bulls eye Kat, :) Adam Gods first man of HIS kind. God probably made male and female racist different people on the 6th day and placed them in different parts of the world, except the garden of Eden, which was protected for Adam and Eve. This would explain how Adam and Eve evently made Eskimos.

Dave in Tenn:
Ricky, I would never use the word "probably" for such a statement.
