Eating from the beginning until after the flood

Dave -
Thank you for checking this out further; I appreciate it:
--- Quote from: Dave in Tenn on May 20, 2017, 02:26:18 PM ---I'd have to be a theologian to know if the failure to include a translation of a word in the original was a significant matter.
Not even the CLV (with the "L" standing for "literal") translates αἷμα aima blood.
CLV Act 17:26 Besides, He makes out of one every nation of mankind, to be dwelling on all the surface of the earth...
At least they didn't insert "man" even if they left out "blood". Kinda makes me wonder why not? To make it simpler to understand? To my mind, it doesn't if the meaning is "the same". I even looked in the list of "spurious" passages to see if that one was there. It isn't, unless I messed up and overlooked it.
Maybe there's a good reason. I just don't know what it is.

Warmest Regards.

1 Corth 15:45. And so it is written. the FIRST man Adam was made a living soul.
works for me 😀
Dennis Vogel:
The context is not about who was the first man. It's about "First comes the physical and then comes the spiritual."
1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Read the rest of the verse and what comes after it.
From Ray's Twelve Truths article: https://bible-truths.com/twelve.htm
TRUTH NUMBER 1
"And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the Last Adam [Jesus Christ] was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is NATURAL; and afterward that which is SPIRITUAL" (I Cor. 15:45-46).
"It is sown [first] a NATURAL BODY [a physical body which dies] ; it is raised [afterward] a SPIRITUAL BODY [which is made immortal and never dies] ..." (I Cor. 15:44).
"Who shall change our [first] VILE BODY, that it may be fashioned like unto His [afterward] GLORIOUS BODY..." (Phil. 3:21).
"If I have told you EARTHLY things [first] , and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of HEAVENLY [spiritual] things [afterward] ?" (John 3:12).
The sequence of God's plan of salvation for mankind is most important-First is the physical and then comes the spiritual.
We know Jesus is a "man" and someday we will be like Jesus the "man."
In that sense Adam is the "first man."
There is "The first man Adam" and "the Last Adam [Jesus Christ]." Jesus and Adam are not one and the same but Jesus is described as "Adam."
The word "Adam" describes both Adam and Jesus in that verse. It does not say Adam was the first human on earth. It describes Adam as the first man who will become like Jesus. And let's not forget Eve is described as "the mother of all living." They go together.

Dennis Vogel:
It is hard Pamela. And it's hard by design.
The bible is full of symbols and metaphors. As Ray says: "The bible is one big parable."
Isa 28:9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
Isa 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
BTW, Young's gets this right by capitalizing the word "He" because "he" is the LORD Jehovah.
