  • Did God create people besides Adam and Eve?
  • Ken Bee
    If you read the verses of Genesis 2 and the creation of Adam ( Genesis 2:5-8), humans already existed as of Genesis 1:7. Adam as a caretaker of the Garden and his relationship with God is unique and a precursor for the coming of Christ in the form of man. A lot of ppl tend to believe that Genesis 2 is a rehashing of Genesis 1 but the problem with that is Genesis 2:1-5 onward all build off the verses from the previous chapter. There's also some confusion over the fact the Hebrew text uses 2 different tenses for "create", in Genesis 1 the context is the usual definition of create basically making something new from nothing....however, in Genesis 2 it would be more akin to "mold" or "summon" as in God made something in that moment but he wasn't crafting a new thing. All the animals and what not just didn't have proper names until they were brought before Adam.

    So to sum it up, yes God made other humans aside from Adam and Eve *but* Adam is unique being the precursor to kings and the priesthood which is why he's considered the 1st Man as in a title rather than literally the very first human man. Somewhere along the line we let this get thrown outta whack in how it's taught.

    No. God made all men of one blood and identifies Adam as the father of the whole human race. Acts 17:26. 1 Cor. 15:22.

    The physical creation of man from the dust and women from Adam's ribs in the beginning would indeed have begun with Adam. He was created in the image of God. Man later through reproduction still has individual attributes that are known by God. The soul of all men is defined as thoughts; intellect and emotions which are also unique to each person. Ezekiel 18:4 indicates that all souls belong to God hence are uniquely created. The spirit normally is defined as the part of inner man that worships (whether it is God or demons). That part of man considers eternity in their hearts ( Ecclesiastes 3:11) and exists after the death of the body. Therefore it is also part of man which is "fearfully and wonderfully made ( Psalm 139:14). This Psalm written by King David surely shows how man is unique. The only thing is that man is now created in the body and soul in the image of man; although it has a shadow or form of the original appearance of God but in a fallen state. When Born Again; starting with our spirit we have the Holy Spirit breathe new life and hence we truly are a new creation. ( 2 Cor. 5:17). We hence start in reverse order; until the Resurrection when later we have a new body. In the beginning; God breathed into Adam AFTER his frame was made physically to bring life through giving him a soul ( Gen. 2:7). The soul of man and spirit today come immediately after copulation.

    Genesis 1:27-28, Genesis 5:2, Genesis 2:7, Genesis 2:22, Genesis 4:14-16, also destruction of whole earth by flood wouldn't be logical if people only existence was in one area Genesis 6:11-13, Genesis 7 -through- Genesis 9,

    Matthew 3:9, Hebrews 7:1-3, Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Matthew 1:18-25,

    Yes, clearly GOD has made children outside of Adam & Eve,

    Of course. He created their children. Abel and Cain were their children. Cain killed his brother . It's not cool to say that, but it's true. Eve was made by the rib of Adam. Adam was molded from dirt and dust. God breathed life into him. They sinned by choice and Satan. These verses can be found in the book of Genesis. Please read the Bible now. It's much better to understand the story.

    All the races were created on the sixth day, he looked and it was good. He rested on the seventh and He created 'eth ha Adam', the man Adam was created on the eighth day.

    Eve is the mother of all living in Christ, umbilical cord to umbilical cord. If you are not living in Christ, 'you are not living'.
