My question was to your extrapolation about the reality of Adam as a foundation of Christianity. As if an allegorical Adam would somehow undermine the existence of Christ.
I know what people believed and believe. Creating man upon the Earth does not mean that a particular method was the one...
Getting it at Luke 3:38 because that ancestry list would have come from the public Jewish temple records.
No one disputed the temple records which ancestry starts at 1Chronicles1:1 through to chapter 9.
The Jews believed according to Deuteronomy 4:32 that God created man upon the earth.
Not all of the Bible is literal as we can read at Revelation 1:1
In Scripture, Adam was related to Jesus thus making Jesus also a real person - Luke 3:38 B
Luke could have gotten his genealogical account, or Jewish ancestral list, from the public temple records.
Public records starting at 1...
@LightofTruth, who is not a JW, asked a simple question of JW's regarding Jesus:
@Deeje, a JW, acknowledged and confirmed it:
@Hockeycowboy, a JW, seems to contradict @Deeje's understanding of Christ:
Deeje seems to contradict @LightofTruth and her fellow JW, HockeyCowboy...
Because the Bible speaks of supernatural events and there are no such experiences in today's world.
I have never met a person who could live 800 years.
The average person cannot corroborate the sensational account of a world wide flood with what is seen in the world today. And having all...
We have a record osgart. Why does the Bible not count as a record, in your opinion? They said we didn't have a record of scores of people they now have to admit existed.
So why do you dismiss the record of Adam and Eve, for which Biblical chronology refers to?
(Genesis 5:1-5) 1 This is the book...
First of all, the Bible spoke of Adam dying only if he ate from the forbidden tree. What would that mean? That he would not die, if he ate not from the forbidden tree.
Second, the Bible there, said nothing about immortality. Rather. it spoke of living for ever.
(Genesis 3:22) . . .in order that...
I'll work with what you believe, without being precise.
So can you explain how not having one thing or other makes one faulty, or blemished.
For example, say Adam and Eve are perfect. Would Eve not having testicles make her imperfect?
Does Adam and Eve not being like God,make them imperfect?
Or...
Well... :) you certainly didn't refute what I said. :)
The first sentence is true... but what "is said" doesn't change the fact that the Jews rejected it.
This is true as was the dark ages. Doesn't change the centuries before and what was accepted and what wasn't. :)
I don't know... what...
It looks like you are abusing the word "history". That concept, at least as we know it today did not exist in roughly 500 BCE. Those are origin myths. They are common to all sorts of religions.
The writer of Genesis claims to be giving a historical account.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 2:4 This is a history of the heavens and the earth in the time they were created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven.
Genesis 5:1 This is...
[Part 01] Does Islam, accept/reject the written names from Adam to Seth, in their genealogical descendancy, along with their meanings? Here is the list, from Adam to Seth, as given in scripture [KJB] [as found given in Genesis 3-5; 1Chronicles1:1-4; Luke 3:33-38 KJB]:
Adam -- Eve -- [Abel --...
Wrong. I find JW's do claim Jesus is the genealogical son of Adam according to Luke 3:38
This is in harmony from the old Jewish temple records as found starting at 1Chronicles1:1
Instead of going to another source, JW's website is found at www.jw.org and www.jwbroadcasting
Here is that list I promised...
God created... Genesis 1 & 2
Isaiah 40:26
Romans 1:20
Job 38
The entire book of Psalms - Psalm 19; 89:11, 12; 89:47; 100:3; 102:25; 148
Isaiah 40:25, 26; 42:5; 45:11, 12, 18

So do YOU think there was a real adam and eve, created as adults some
6000 yrs ago, more or less?
Surely not.
What someone claims Jesus said is not the same as
a 2+2=4 type of fact.
Of course, Jesus' parables or illustrative stories are Not literal happenings but lessons to remember and learn.
However, I do wonder why the E.O. church would think or doubt about a literal Adam and Eve.
If Adam and Eve were Not real, then how could Jesus be related to them as per Luke 3:38...
As to how do you get Adam in
Genesis 1:1-5.
In Genesis 1:26-27, The male and female here is the 6th day creation of the male and female Genesis 1:31( And the evening and the morning were the 6th day)
Now on the 7th day God rested from his work of creation.
And then on the next day following...
The Bible implies that Adam was the first biological man—in Genesis 1-5; Deuteronomy 32:8; 1Chronicles1:1; Luke 3:38; Romans 5:14; 1 Corinthians 15:22, 45;1 Timothy 2:13 and Jude 1:14. . So, how many parts of the Bible are you willing to concede as being ‘errant’, or in need of...
