Greetings
Act 17:25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
Act 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
It is very clear that God made all nations with one blood running thru all men. Think about it folks. If God had created one race of people that hunted only and than Adam and Eve to till the ground, than Eve could not have been the mother of all the living and the Scripture cannot be broken. Adam the first man thru whom all have sinned, Jesus the second Adam thru whom all are justified. Both account of the creation of man is, they were created in “his image”. You have to ask yourself why would God create a man and a woman twice? All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. The first creation could not have been accounted for sinning since without the law there is no sin. Adam and Eve sin because they had the law. But its said "all have sinned".
The creation of two races of mankind has been used to promoted the theology of enslavement. From Ballentine's Law Dictionary, 1948 Edition. 'Human Being' is defined as follows: 'See monster' . From the same dictionary, 'monster' is defined: 'A human-being by birth, but in some part resembling a lower animal.'
Therefore they conscribe human beings have no inheritable right so cannot own land, property. Legally speaking that would include all of you and I. This is the way it works in Satan's world. Adam of the mankind family was “formed” the other creatures were created. So if you are not of the right blood line you cannot be part of the Kingdom according to those of such persuasion. If we deviate from biblical principle we end up with dogmatic presumption and divisions.

Wanda:
Thank you seaofglass,
Your contribution is very benifical to this discussion.
You made several great points that helped clear up a few things I was confused about.
sansmile:
Wanda, I think a translation earlier on in the thread was shown. It said Gen 3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
Rotherham has an interesting translaton:
(Rotherham) So the man called the name of his wife, Eve,—in that, she, was made mother of every one living.

From Ballantine's Law Dictionary 1969.
Human Being: A Person, Male or Female.
Monster: A plant or creature terribly deformed. A human being by birth but in some part resembling a lower animal. "A monster...hath no inheritable blood, and cannot be heir to any land, albeit it be brought forth in marriage; but, although it hath deformity in any part of its body, yet if it hath human shape, it may be heir." 2 BL Common 246.
The part in quotations is from 2 BL (or B1, or BI) Common 246, a more archaic law "dictionary" or book.
Regardless, these are "legal" definitions to be understood "legally", and not Scripture.

From Genesis 1
Gen 1:24 And God saith, `Let the earth bring forth (H3318--a broad word, decently translated) the living creature after its kind, cattle and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind:' and it is so.
Gen 1:25 And God maketh (H6213--a very broad word with the broad meaning of "produce, accomplish, do, make) the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, and God seeth that it is good.
Gen 1:26 And God saith, `Let Us make (H6213--same broad word used when "making" the animals) man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.'
Gen 1:27 And God prepareth (H1254--a less-broad word with the main connotation being bringing into existence some new thing or condition) the man in His image; in the image of God He prepared him, a male and a female He prepared them.
Gen 1:31 And God seeth all that He hath done (H6213), and lo, very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning--day the sixth.
From Genesis 2.
Gen 2:7 And Jehovah God formeth (H3335--a fairly broad word with the connotation of to form, fashion, frame) the man--dust from the ground, and breatheth into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becometh a living creature.
Gen 2:19 And Jehovah God formeth (H3335) from the ground every beast of the field, and every fowl of the heavens, and bringeth in unto the man, to see what he doth call it; and whatever the man calleth a living creature, that is its name.
These are the "verses" in the opening account(s) that refer to the beginnings of both man and animal. I don't make this post to teach anything (except what the Spirit of God intends you to learn). I do want to dispel the notion that a simple "definition" of words (created vs. formed) should cause us to believe that "Man/Mankind/Adam" came to be in different way(s) from the animals.
For me, fundamental Judeo-Christianity does nothing to answer the questions I have--neither concerning the natural nor concerning the Spiritual. Jesus himself gave me permission to view things this way.
Luk 16:8 ...And his lord was pleased with the false servant, because he had been wise; for the sons of this world are wiser in relation to their generation than the sons of light.
Luk 16:9 And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves through the wealth of this life, so that when it comes to an end, you may be taken into the [eonian] resting-places.
Dave in Tenn:
One more, I reckon.
Rom 4:15 ...for where no law is, there is no transgression.
An axiomatic statement.
Neither did Adam bring "sin" to all men. What we've "inherited" is death, for all have sinned.
Rom_5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Rom_5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
Rom 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made [designated] sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made [designated] righteous.
Was Jesus literally and physically the "last man"? If we don't have a problem with this answer, perhaps it will help not have a problem with "Adam" being literally and physically the "First man", though "so it is written".
1Co 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
1Co 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
1Co 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
