I always though Adam translated to mean "red earth". Are there different translations for different usages or something? LOL, I'm truly ignorant when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Genesis says that God took Adam from the adamah. Adamah is translated as earth and Adam as man. Adameh is used in jewish hebrew writings as meaning "godlike". So there is quite a play on words going on. It is kind of humbling to know that the name for man means "dirt". In hebrew, "ha" means "the" , so ha-adam is translated "the man". It gets somewhat complicated and above my expertise level when one gets into the hebrew grammer and hebrew roots. But the bottomline is that sometimes it is not much clearer in the hebrew than it is in the english. Sometimes it is unclear whether the scripture is refering to one person named "adam" or to all of mankind when it speaks of Adam.

There is another word for man used in the hebrew in other verses which is "Ish" and woman is "Isha". I know that in modern hebrew when a person introduces their wife they call her "isha". I guess it is similar in hebrew to what it is in english that there are synonyms for words. More than one word which essentially means the same thing.

In light of what we know of the story, it seems that Adam's excuse "the women that you gave me" is at least partially true. It seems that Adam allowed himself to be influenced by Eve rather than dealing directly with the serpent.

On a side note , I guess our excuses with God today don't work any better than they did for Adam.

Ah, BUT...

The serpent approached -EVE- when she was -ALONE-.

Adam would -NOT- have believed in -ANY- super powers.

 

[Cordy]

The serpent approached -EVE- when she was -ALONE-.

Then why does the Bible say that Adam was "with her"?

 

[daverain]

Then why does the Bible say that Adam was "with her"?

It doesn't.

(at the time that she first sinned)

or else you'd have provided the scripture, to prove that Adam was 'with her' -AT THAT EXACT TIME- (=not returning later on)
that she was deceived

(and you would have -PROVEN- that Eve was -NOT- alone).

Adam sinned -LATER- (upon returning) , to be with his -WIFE-.


(Let the reader understand what the word -WIFE- , means. )

----------------------------------------------------


1Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.

And he said to the -WOMAN- ,

"Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?"


(My words: Satan deceived: -EVE- with the words: "You will be like - GOD - ")



Adam wouldn't have been that stupid.







Peace in Christ.
