Does the writer of Hebrews' interpretation of Cain and Abel tell you that Adam and Eve were historical or that the story of their fall, the garden and the snake is told literally literal? The other problem is the writer of Hebrew was heavily into the allegorical significance of the Torah, a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities Heb 10:1. It is good to look at how OT texts are interpreted and understood throughout the rest of the bible, but the foundation of our understanding of a text should be the text itself and what it meant to the writer and its original audience.
That's so weird that you acknowledge the actions and events documented that
took place among groups of people, then turn around and claim that Adam was not real.
If Adam was not real, why would anyone have to follow any laws?
Because of a Rocky & Bullwinkle story?
