    Because the bible was written about the Israelites, from Adam and Eve...we know that....

    While God was creating the heavens and the earth....He created man in (OUR) image, so He created man and women then Adam and Eve? Who was with God? AS in John, the Word was with God...and the Word was God...

    Lisa Armstrong,

    "Because the bible was written about the Israelites, from Adam and Eve"

    Adam and Eve were not Israelites, and the Bible is written about Almighty and Everlasting God. The history of all people of this world is a topic, as are matters like law, love of God, love of neighbors, government, nature, etc..

    Greetings, Lisa.

    Genesis chapter 1 is the general account of the creation of the earth and its inhabitants, including a man and a woman.

    Chapter 2 focuses on the creation of that man and woman and it begins...

    "These 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," Gen 2:4.

    The phrase, "the generations of" is repeated 11 times in Genesis. Adam and Eve were the man and woman that God created and breathed the breath of life into.

    From Genesis 12 through Malachi, the last book in the Old Testament, is all concerning Abraham and his descendants, Israel or the Jewish people.

    The New Testament concerns the Jews and non-Jewish people referred to as Gentiles, the ministry of Jesus, The Son of God, His death, burial and Resurrection and how his disciples began spreading, The Gospel, the Good News that through trust in Jesus, anyone can be forgiven and have everlasting life, with the intent that God had for everyone.

    Yes, The Father, The Son and The Spirit cooperated in the creation events. They agreed, "Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness." Then John wrote, "In the beginning was The Word and The Word was with God and The Word was God...And the Word was made flesh [Jesus], and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."
