Zone1 Adam & Eve were not the first humans created by God

[Z99]

The Bible says so.

Genesis 1 describes God creating humanity.

26 Then God said, “Let us make man[h] in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

so who were the first ones?...

 

[DukeU]

Adam and Eve was first.

It's just the same story with more detail.

Genesis Chapter 2​

1Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

2And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

3And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

4These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

5And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

In other news, Jack didn't really climb a beanstalk. It was a grapevine.

The first woman was named, "Lilleth." Any Feminist can confirm.

Hmmm, does this mean that Cain and Abel were not incestuous? I've always wondered.

 

[Z99]

Adam and Eve was first.

Nope. They were each separate creations. The first humans discussed in Genesis 1 were to be fruitful and fill the world. That's what it says. Read it.

Adam and Eve were placed in the Garden of Eden. They were apart from the rest of humanity.

 

[Z99]

And then there is this from Genesis 4:

Behold, you have driven me (Cain) today away from the ground, and from your face I shall be hidden. I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.” 15 Then the Lord said to him, “Not so! If anyone kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” And the Lord put a mark on Cain, lest any who found him should attack him. 16 Then Cain went away from the presence of the Lord and settled in the land of Nod,[f] east of Eden.

17 Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. When he built a city, he called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.

 

[Z99]

However, there is this verse:

1 Corinthians 15:45
English Standard Version
45 Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”;[a] the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

Genesis 3

20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

 

[Z99]

Genesis 3

20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

That's a good one too but perhaps she was the mother of all living in Eden because that's where they were when he named her. Otherwise, how can she be the mother of all living when God had already introduced humanity into the world in Genesis 1?

Perhaps you are making things up.

 

[Blaster]

It was Adam & Eve but Democrats believe it was Adam & Steve.

She liked to do comcerts.

in some circles she is considered the mother of the Vampire race....

Perhaps you are uncomfortable discussing doctrines that differ from your own.

That has always been my interpretation.

It seems that there was something different and special about adam and eve in particular.

 

[DukeU]

Not at all.

 

[Z99]

Not at all.

So how do you account for God creating humans in Genesis 1 and then creating Adam and Eve in Genesis 2?
