Wanda:
Thank you Michelle,
The Lord has blessed you richly.
How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver!
~ Proverbs 16:16

Hello John, Hello Wanda,
Yes John, you’re right, SPIRITUAL, what a wonder!
There are sooooo many levels of readings in the Bible.
Adam signifies mankind and in the same time he signifies God’s elect people, His few.
Ahhh the riches of the Wisdom of God.
Wanda,
I thank God for all those treasures He brings us in abundance and I pray He guides us through the Spirit of Christ, His Spirit, and reveals us His thoughts through the Light of Christ for I don’t want to rely on my own overproud thoughts.
1Chronicles 1:16: « Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. »

--- Quote from: John from Kentucky on July 04, 2018, 10:43:43 PM ---Some of us have the understanding that the Adam and Eve story is not literal but a spiritual story chock full of deep spiritual truths. Adam is the Hebrew word for mankind. Eve is the mother of all living. But not all have this understanding. God guides all.
--- End quote ---
Certainly John. But let's not give the impression that Adam and Eve is only a spiritual story. We have Adam's genealogy recorded in the book of Genesis. So we know they were real people.
As for "Adam and Eve story is not literal." Some of it seems to be not literal if you consider Eve is "the mother of all living" and you believe there were humans before Adam and Eve.
But I've often wondered what "the mother of all living" means? Some of her descendants will become "the elect" or spiritually enlightened? What do you think John?
Dave in Tenn:
Ecc 3:18 I said in my heart:It is on account of the sons of humanity That the One, Elohim, seeks to manifest them And to show them that they themselves are beasts."
Ecc 3:19 For the destiny of the sons of humanity And the destiny of the beast, It is one destiny for them; As death is for this one, so is death for that one, And one spirit is for all; There is no advantage for the human over the beast, For the whole is vanity."
Ecc 3:20 All are going to one place; All have come from the soil, and all return to the soil."
Wanda:
The promise of a Savior from man’s rebellious nature is something we see consistently throughout Scripture—from its origin in Genesis, all the way through to Christ’s ultimate victory in Revelation.
God promised that through the Seed (i.e., descendant) of a woman (Eve) would come one who would crush the head of Satan. This is the first promise of a Savior to come into the world to save ALL MANKIND. Genesis 3:14–15
With the woman’s seed is a hope for life that defeats death, hence the mother of all living
The seed of the woman would redeem All of humanity, and not just the elect.
Is this not Gods plan for mankind since before their creation?
1 Cor 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all will be made alive.
Hebrews 2:14–15
14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that ithrough death he might jdestroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject.
It's all so magnificent!
