made of one blood all nations of men?

Hi microlink,

So you think that these beings that descended from the early man, that science has proven were here and would still be around the earth at Adam's time, were not human? There were people on every continent by then, certainly not from Adam. What you're saying is right in line with what the church teaches, that there was no man/human on earth when Adam was created. Of course now they have even lost sight that there was any other people at all at that time, but I think that the Apostles and the early church certainly understood these things. So there was all these people and you think they did not have the spirit of a human it them, that is exactly what history show us that the Jews thought of the Gentiles (dogs) and the church carried that same thought on about the pagans? We see it in the Scripture and throughout history, if you notice how other people were treated and look down upon.

In the OT God has a chosen people where He begins His plan of salvation starting with Adam - Noah - Abraham - children of Israel on down to the Jews which Jesus was born through and they all thought of the rest of mankind as you are saying, as sub-human, not in line for salvation.

That is what Jesus Christ charged with the New Covenant, that there was not a certain or particular race of people that was God's chosen. It is not the physical that saves you, but the spiritual. That is exactly what Paul is addressing with the comment "one blood."

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the word, and the word was toward God, and God was the word. "
Joh 1:2 This was in the beginning toward God.
Joh 1:3 All came into being through it, and apart from it not even one thing came into being which has come into being."


This is also a 'geneaology'. 

Joh 1:14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

1Jn 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God among us, that God has dispatched His only-begotten Son into the world that we should be living through Him."

Hi Kat
Thanks for your quick response.
If you are saying that the following scriptures refer to the man before Adam and Eve, like the Neanderthal etc then I agree with you. Still thinking. Thanks
Gen 1:26  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 1:28  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Gen 1:29  And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Gen 1:30  And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
Gen 1:31  And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day

No I'm not talking about Neanderthal, which is known to have gone extinct. As Ray indicated I believe there were people/humans living all around the earth at the time Adam and Eve were created.

It is very hard to look at Scripture and not see it through the glasses of the deeply ingrained influences of what we learned in church. This idea that Adam and Eve were the first humans on earth is so totally believed by almost everybody and it's also laced into every aspect of what they believe and teach. All of their false beliefs are so tightly interwoven together that to believe 1 aspect you must accept the rest or it won't hold together. That is the house built on sand...

What does it mean to be human from scientists view:
http://humanorigins.si.edu/human-characteristics

I was reading the "Brains" section (http://humanorigins.si.edu/human-characteristics/brains)
It says there's a sudden increase in brain size, especially between 800,000 and 200,000 years ago.

At the bottom of the page, it says:
"Large brains mean large heads, making childbirth more difficult and painful for human mothers than for other primates."

I was wondering if that's how God increased Eve's pain in childbirth - by increasing the brain size.
But then the timing doesn't seem right, since the rapid increase happened between 800,000 and 200,000 years ago.
