adam was made to the specifications God intended which was in an unfallen state. so yes, he was made perfect as ecclesiastes 7:29 states.

What race was Adam? I read he was a red man, and I also heard that he wasn't part of a race. Just Genesis : Adam Was a Red Man

Not that his race matters-it is irrelevant.

They don't?
Then how do they explain job 1, Zechariah 3 and Ezekiel 28

I've read Reform Jews believe the devil is an agent of God. I read Jews view him as part of the heavenly council.

The OT talks about the devil tempting, accusing, and afflicting people, but it doesn't link him to Heylel in Isaiah 14.

It's unclear: "Satan" is derived from a Hebrew word meaning "adversary", but considering names mean something Satan may be his "created name" or it may be more of a title.

Isn't Lucifer definitley not his name? That was a Latin Vulgate translation-a word that already existed.

I can see that. It's why I didn't mention Isaiah 14. I know that some want to imply that tnis is just th king of babylon being spoken of

But just as GOD uses history to point us to hidden and higher spiritual truths, GOD wasn't really talking about the king of bsbylon but Satan

Isn't that what happened to Adam and Eve?

I don't know how the truth of Satan can be denied

Genesis 1 describes the creation of life, what you are describing is a myth.

Is that really a fact?
That makes all of us reddish brown

So we don't know if they a totally different race than exists today? I heard they could have been all the races.

Not that it matters.

What Adam or Jesus looked like to me are irrelvant mysteries.

How can a sinful being stand before God's presence? Can't no man see God or live?

In terms of literature, the Genesis story is myth or 'story.' It is poetic and is not literal. The context and style points to that. Science is not myth. Evolution is a proven fact. It has been peer reviewed and experiments/observations have been done to confirm that. That is what a theory is like the Theory of Gravity.

Adam and Eve are real people-giving in to the devil's temptations caused sin to enter the human race.

Yes he is
Just as "removing the hedge" in job 1 resulted in the same prophecied outcome spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2 when "he who holds all things back is taken out of the way"
The 'satan' in Job is a member of the celestial court. The devil in the NT is not the same character and is outside the court.

Natural man has to be created on the 6th day

You speak about poetic inuendos?

Well 6 is very significant
Just as 7 and 8 are

And it is the order of spiritual man born again of GOD
But, in Genesis 2 God creates humanity (Adam) before the plants and animals.
