Adam and Eve

day six! Islamic Answer Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "The best of days on which the sun has risen is Friday. One this day Adam was created, and on this day he was descended to earth." (al Bukhari)

Biblical text is specific, Adam was formed on the 8th day as the man to till the soil .... Genesis 2, after the 7th day or rest.

Adam and Eve were white, and, the Bible tells us. Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. The word "man" in Hebrew is aw-dawm' which means ruddy and comes from the root word aw-dam' which means to blush or to show blood in the face of which the Caucasians are the race which blushes. God created all of the different races, they did not all come from Adam. In Genesis chapter 2, there is a parable in where, the trees in the garden are symbolic for people. And, Ezekiel 31 explains that parable. Gen 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. Gen 2:9 And out of the ground made Jehovah God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; And here we have the trees in the garden of Eden (garden of God) which, symbolize people. Eze 31:3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches

Eze 31:8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the fir-trees were not like its boughs, and the plane-trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like unto it in its beauty.

Eze 31:9 I made it fair by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it. Trees are used to symbolize people all through the Bible. Remember, Jesus himself said, "I am the vine, you are the branches, and also, speaking of people, he said: Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. Now, as for Adam and his line being white, the Bible tells us even more: This is David before he was king. He was also of a "ruddy" complexion 1Sa 16:12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look upon. And Jehovah said, Arise, anoint him; for this is he. And more:

Son 5:10 My beloved is white and ruddy, The chiefest among ten thousand. And those of Zion (Jerusalem) were white Lam 4:7 Her nobles were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk; They were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was as of sapphire. There are many places in the Bible that tell that Adam and his line were white. And, since the line to Jesus was kept pure within Israel's and Adam's blood line, he would be white also. Adam was the beginning of the Caucasians only. All of the other races were in the garden of Eden, and, Adam was placed there to look after them: Gen 2:15 And Jehovah God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. The garden of Eden was people. You just have to read it in the Hebrew, and, understand that God speaks in parables, even back then. The Bible is an account of Jesus and his lineage only. It is NOT a history book of the world. And, if you're wondering how all of the races got past the flood, remember, God told Noah to bring 2 of ALL life on the boat. Gen 6:19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. Notice it says "EVERY" living thing. That would include the other races which God made also. Have you ever wondered where Cain got his wife from, or, who he was afraid of when he was sent away after killing Abel? It doesn't say, because, it's wrapped in a parable. Most speculate that it was his sister he married, which, is not the case. He went away to the East, and, found a wife from one of the other races which God made. Who was he afraid of below? Gen 4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the ground; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth; and it will come to pass, that whosoever findeth me will slay me. Who was his wife, and, who did he build a city for? Gen 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

Gen 4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. There were other people on the earth which God made. That is who Cain married, who he built a city for, and, who he was afraid of. Man has speculated how all of these things came about, and, most have gotten them wrong. The trees in the garden of Eden were symbolic for people, and, Adam who was a type of Christ (Rom 5:14) was to look over, and, to cultivate those people.

no he didn't. First Adam was made by god, and then Eve was made second as a companion for Adam. = = = Lilith =

".......God drove them off. Adam was left lying as a body without a soul. Then a cloud descended and God commanded the earth to produce a living soul. This God breathed into Adam, who began to spring to life and his female was attached to his side. God separated the female from Adam's side. The female side was Lilith, ....."

* If you believe Wikipedia (or wherever it has sourced this quotation) then to you the answer would be yes. * If you believe the infallible word of God, then to you the answer would be no.

If you believe in something which is found to be empirically true where it is able to be tested, then the answer would again be no.

Before the flood man did not eat meat.

Genesis 1

29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-everything that has the breath of life in it-I give every green plant for food." And it was so.

After the flood man began to eat meat.

Genesis 9

2 The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. 3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

The snake(Satan) told Eve that if she ate the fruit from the tree that she would become as powerful as God, or maybe more powerful as Him. Us humans are all power hungry so of course Eve took a bite. She then told Adam to take a bite, thus they all sinned.

The question that has not been answered is why Adam and Eve listened to Satan in the first place. Snakes of today actually have vestigal legs inside them. Unlike snakes of today, Satan was a beautiful shining and irridescant creature walking on 2 legs. (Anyway, would you trust a talking snake?)

Another thought:

According to the Bible, YES, at one time, Adam and Eve were the only humans on earth.(Genesis 2:7,8,18, 21, 22)(Genesis 3:20)

No information was given in the book of Genesis as to Eve's age. But the fifth chapter of Genesis gave information about Adam's age. For example, it stated that Adam was 130 years old when his third son, Seth, was born. It also stated that Adam lived another 800 years, and died at the age of 930 years.

Answer:For those who believe in the Bible, there is no reason not to believe that Adam and Eve died at the age of 930 years old. We don't live that long today, exactly as God decreed (Genesis 6:3).

Problems.

According to the Bible, in the beginning, when Adam and Eve were created, they were perfect and had everything to make life enjoyable, including an everlasting future on a paradise earth.(Genesis 1:26-31)(Genesis 2:15-24). When they chose to disobediently rebel against God, they lost it all(Genesis 3:17-19). Because of their selfish behavior WE, their descendants, now suffer from imperfection and death (Romans 5:12) and all the attending ills that come with them. We also have the necessity of a redeemer, to rescue us from this situation(Romans 7:21-25)(Romans 3:23-24)(Matthew 20:28)(Mark 10:45)(John 3:16)

The Bible does not specify but I think most people like to believe it was the left side, closest to the heart.

Answer:

As men and women have an equal number of ribs and an equal number of ribs on each side it is logical to assume that no male rib is missing.

So what is missing?

The term rib is not an accurate translation of the original Hebrew word. Many scholars now think the bone referred to was the baculum as this bone is missing in humans but present in most other mammals. The "rib" story was invented to explain this apparent anatomical anomaly.

Two grandchildren specifically were mentioned for Adam and Eve in the book of Genesis. One was Enoch, as Cain's son and Adam's and Eve's grandson [Genesis 4:17]. The other was Enosh, as Seth's son and the couple's grandson [4:26].

Enoch, son of Cain (Genesis 4:17)

Enos, son of Seth (Genesis 4:26)

According to Genesis 5:7 Seth had sons and daughters (after Enos) and so Adam had an absolute minimum of 5 from that line.

Adam himself had sons and daughters (most likely apart from those referred to) and so there are also grandchildren from those lines, although of course at that early time people were marrying within their own family. So sons of both Cain and Seth were 'doubly' related also through the maternal line.
