Adam and Eve

Adam and Eve were the ones created and there are two separate accounts of the same event.

ANOTHER ANSWER:

This is only my understanding of the scripture through using the Strong's Concordance of the KJVB, the King James Bible and the Jewish Bible the Tanakh.

I understand that there were 2 creations of man on two different days. One on the 6th day and another on the 8th day, after the Sabbath.

The Numbers 7 & 8 are sacred to the Jews,

In kabalistic teachings, the number seven symbolizes perfection - perfection that is achievable via natural means - while eight symbolizes that which is beyond nature and its (inherently limited) perfection.

Genesis 1:26-28 The Gentiles/Nations/ other races of peoples

1st man "adam" was created through a command GOD gave to the earth, both male and female, came forth from the ground. FYI (adam is the Hebrew word for man, mankind, human beings, etc. The word "man" was a bad English translation in this verse. A better translation would have been mankind. or humans.)

Genesis 2:5b-7 Adam and Eve are a creation that is one step above the natural order, higher than nature and its limitations, a "saving" people.

2nd the man "haadam" and was formed by the hands of GOD and not by a command given to the earth. FYI (haadam is the Hebrew word for "the man", and I believe this "special" man has a special purpose. Because through him, whom we call Adam, the Messiah would be born thousands of years later.

(Adam - Noah - David - Jesus)

# 120 'ā·ḏām אָדָ֛ם man

# 120 hā·'ā·ḏām, הָֽאָדָ֗ם the man

# 127 hā·'ă·ḏā·māh, הָ֣אֲדָמָ֔ה the ground

*Notice the each of these words contain the word "adam".

According to the NAS Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, these are the meanings of "adam".

- "any man , anyone, anyone's, being, common sort, human, infantry, low degree, low, man, man's, man, mankind, men, men of low degree, men's, men, mortal, one, people, person, person, persons, population, someone"

How accurate is the Jewish Bible?

Jeremiah is the first to mention the scribes as a professional group: "How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Lo, certainly in vain make he it; the pen of the scribes (sopherim) is in vain" (Jer.8:8).

The word sopherim literally means "the counters"; the early scribes earned this title because they counted every letter of every book of Scripture to make sure they didn't leave out anything.

After the Jews returned from Exile, they formed communities of scribes to preserve and circulate the Scriptures that had become so precious to them. These scribes tried to explain the variations in different manuscripts. They eventually developed a system of vowel pointing that preserved the pronunciation of the Hebrew words.

Before he began his work each day, the scribe would test his reed pen by dipping it in ink and writing the name Amalek, then crossing it out (Deut. 25:19). Then he would say, "I am writing the Torah in the name of its sanctity and the name of God in its sanctity." The scribe would read a sentence in the manuscript he was copying, repeat it aloud, and then write it. Each time he came to the name of God, he would say, " I am writing the name of God for the holiness of His name." If he made an error in writing God's name, he had to destroy the entire sheet of papyrus or vellum that he was using.

After the scribe finished copying a particular book, he would count all of the words and letters it contained. Then he checked this tally against the count for the manuscript that he was copying. He counted the number of times a particular word occurred in the book, and he noted the middle word and the middle letter in the book, comparing all of these with his original. By making these careful checks, he avoided any errors.

This was done from generation to generation for thousands of years.

Genesis means "origin"

Genesis: origin, the beginning, the Creation

genesis is a type of stone right?

It wasn't just a regular sleep, Gen 2:21 - "And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept", it was more likely an induced coma than sleep, the same principle as general anesthesia, that is used in hospital surgery rooms, and for the very same reason. The other reason is because in the Bible Adam is a type of Christ, 1Corinthians 15:45-47 "And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven."

So that as Christ died to redeem His bride Ephesians 5:30-32 "For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church." , and received a wound in His side, John 19:33-34 "But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs, but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water." And in the same manner Adam also "died" figuratively, and had his side "wounded", so he could obtain his bride, his own flesh and bone.

Not exactly sure who Stan is. Typically in Biblical geneologies, the males are the only ones mentioned. Many times it is shown that a certain male has daughters elsewhere in the Bible, but that is very rarely shown. So, it is to be assumed that Adam and Eve had daughters, but they were never mentioned by name. The scary thing is knowing that Cain and Abel were committing some serious incest...but what was their choice?

In Muntaka Upanishad of Hindu philosophy chapter third
describes a symbolic story of two birds. One is adma
(soul) and another is jeev(life). Both are sitting in a fig
(ficus) (pippala) tree. Jeev eats the fruit of fig tree
(Pippala) and adma(soul) is looking at her without any
influence.. This story is told to explain even though
the life (living being) is doing the worldly things
(including sex) it will not affect the soul inside.
The interesting thing in this story is comparison of
the Adam and Eve of Bible with this. The following
points are coincide. Adam and adma. Eve and jeev.
pipple and bible. fig is fig (not changed). forbidden
fruit is forbidden fruit (not changed).
Upanishads are 5000 years old. Bible is 2000 years
old. Author Pippala (rishi) (hermit) was living 2500
years ago. Jesus 2000 years. Is it possible that this
story has taken this new shape in 3000 years?

If we take the adma (adam) and jeev (eve) as two birds in a symbolic story then there will not be any doubts in their existence as asked by so many. But if we take them as two human beings so many questions will arise as in http://www.answers.com.

common fig(ficus carica) ficus religiosa (pipul)

Only 100 years back two disciples approaches a guru (teacher). They are from two places only 100 kilometers away from each other in Tamilnadu of India. He teaches that there is no God and everything is only soul. To respect the soul he instructs to pray before a mirror. The mirror will reflect the person in front of it which emphasize that everyone must pray himself. One disciple is from Muslim community and another is from Hindu community. After some years both went to their places and teach the philosophy of mirror. Both are wearing white clothes, live a very simple life, feed the poor, and kind to mankind. But as these two teachers are from two separate religions there are certain small influences of their major religion making these two into two separate religions. Most of the people do not know that the origin of these two religions are from one. If this is the stage of 100 years then what about the story told 5000 years back that adma (soul)and jeev(life) are sitting in a fig tree which is forbidden by God can be changed into a new one which cannot be identified with the origin itself. The author of this upanishad is Pippala. He gets this name as he is eating only the leaves of the fig (piple) (ficus religiosa). Adam has become adma. Jeev has become eve. Piple has become bible. Pippala is 5000 years old. Christ 2000 years old. During the period of 3000 years this story has taken a new shape. No doubt about that. Upanishads are 10008. Each upanishad contains 100 stanzas in average. That means there are more than 10,00,000 stanzas. One among them is this symbolic story of adma and jeev which is only four lines. This story is told to explain that even though the adma (soul) is inside the body, it will not affected by the actions (including sex) done by the jeev (life). But this small stanza has grown into two major philosophies means that time can do anything. For detailed reading go to the pages "bible and piple" and "the religions" in http.www.ashokha.com
