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

[Carl in Michigan]

Verse 1: IN THE BEGINNING God created the heavens and the earth

Undetermined time later.....

Verse 2: and the earth BECAME Tohu wa-bohu (chaos and confusion)

 

[Meathead]

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

It is very, I'll grant you that.

Lilith is a creation of Jewish mysticism

Sources of the Lilith Myth:
The story of Lilith is found in rabbinic literature, such as the Babylonian Talmud, and in later Jewish mystical texts like the Zohar.

Already explained this to you.

Genesis 1 is a summary of creation of man and the universe.

Genesis 2 starts to give details.

Genesis 1 gives details, ending in the creation of man and woman simultaneously.

Genesis 2 gives details of Adam created first, and then Eve, in the garden of Eden.

The seeming inconsistencies in Genesis 4, can be reconciled by Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 being not a repeat of the same story, but two totally separate stories. Two totally separate creations.
One outside of the Garden of Eden, and the other within the Garden of Eden.

So in Genesis 4, when Cain was banished from Eden, he feared the people outside the Garden of Eden.

 

[luiza]

26 Then God said, “Let us make man[h] in our image, after our likeness.

Or , were the GODS keeping a few big secrets ?

Or , was the Lab King Rat just referring to his own people ?

Genesis 1 gives details, ending in the creation of man and woman simultaneously.

Eve was inside of Adam, so technically they were created simultaneously.

The seeming inconsistencies in Genesis 4, can be reconciled by Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 being not a repeat of the same story, but two totally separate stories. Two totally separate creations.
One outside of the Garden of Eden, and the other within the Garden of Eden.

Adam lived to be over 900 yrs. old, he had many sons and daughters.

Those came about after Cain was expelled from Eden.

Understanding they etymology of the Hebrew language is helpful in answering your questions. In Hebrew, that plural can be quantitative (signifying number of); it can also signify qualitative (supreme being, for example).

Let's pretend for a minute there were people other than Adam and Eve descendants.

Why would they want to kill Cain?

 

[The Irish Ram]

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

Lore has it that Lilith existed. But not as a human. She was a spirit. Solomon lends credence to this because he used to summon evil spirits and mess with them. She was one of them. She said her job was to sit on men's faces and kill babies in their sleep. (SIDS).
The story has it, that Adam wouldn't let her get on top when they had sex, so she left for the desert.
God realized that man needs a mate. So he created one.

But that's not "biblical" unless you give credibility to these sources. I don't

Right. It isn't Biblical. It is lore. And here is a bit of trivia:
Mother's rock their babies to sleep by singing a lullaby, which in Hebrew means Lilith begone.

CutWhy would they want to kill Cain?

Revenge. The Bible gives "permission",in ancient Israel for a family member to avenge a murder. If a stranger brutality rapes and murders your wife or sister God does not condemn the man who avenges their murder. Able was likely to be the lineage from which Jesus was to be born. Able was "replaced" by Seth 130 years after his murder

Again. if they were different people from what God created in Eden why would they care?

How would the even know?

You got that scripture yet?

I always read the "our" in "let us make man in our image, after our likeness." to be the trinity.

God is one being in three persons. Hence the plural word "our."

That's my understanding as well except I don't believe in the trinity. I believe in the "duality" -- the Father and the "Logos"

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God
