Did Adam and Eve have blood before they sinned?

Hi Everyone,

Very good question, I have had that same question come into my thoughts lately too.

The Spirit of the Lord can open up things for our understanding that we could not possibly come up with just by surface reading, or just settling for the literal interpretation. For The Word is Spirit and Life, anything else, IMO, is just a nice story.


Blessings,

The Garden and the world before the Flood must have been a mystical/magical place that was nothing like our physical world. For example, it is not possible that a earth-like planet with oceans and our temp range and atmosphere would not have any rain. Water would evaporate from the oceans. When the planet wide humidity reached 100% it could not have failed to rain. 110% humidity is not possible.

Second, we now know that cloud cover produces global warming. <G> If it didn't on the origionally created earth, the physics of that world was not the physics of this world.

I have a question...

Who named Adam?
Who created Adam?
Who called everything He created in that day "good"?


G-d did!

G-d gave the name and designation, and I find it a bit ironic that the word "mankind" in Hebrew is Adom. (same as Adam's name in Hebrew)...

It reflects the fact he was made and was ruddy, as someone who is flushed - a reflection of that blood rushing to the face... of being made from red clay..

But we are also told of Y'shua:

1 Corinthians 15:


It is not that Y'shua was not fully man and fully G-d... but it is the illustration which rings true. By one man we found death, and by one man we found life eternal (Romans 5:12).

Our flesh and blood cannot inherit eternal life; but our fallen bodies can be quickened and will inherit eternal life if we are believers in Messiah.

We'll still have flesh and blood; but it will not be like what we have known since the death of flesh came upon all mankind in the Garden...

As the passage in 1 Corinthians 15 continues:

Blood is not what changed us, we always had that.. as did every living being.

Life is in the blood. . . we are told this several times in Scripture.

Though the sacrifices in the earthly temple never brought redemptive work; they pointed to the pouring out of the blood of our Messiah and the sprinkling of His blood in the heavenly temple for the redemption of our souls.


So I really am unclear where the thread is going... color me confused

Shalom and thanks for that informative post.
I am delving into the Hebrew more than ever now in order to understand the NC/NT of the Bible.
Are there any Jewish Hebrew English bible that use the Hebrew word for "'adam" while leaving the other english word for "man" as is? Thanks.

Ezekiel 2:1 And He said to me, "Son of man/'adam, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you."


Name of the Day​

(ADM - Adam)

We are all familiar with the name "Adam" as found in the book of Genesis, but what does it really mean? Let us begin by looking at its roots. This word/name is a child root derived from the parent &#1491;&#1501; meaning, "blood". By placing the letter &#1488; in front of the parent root, the child root &#1488;&#1491;&#1501; is formed and is related in meaning to &#1491;&#1501; (blood).

By examing a few other words derived from the child root &#1488;&#1491;&#1501; we can see a common meaning in them all. The Hebrew word &#1488;&#1491;&#1501;&#1492; (adamah) is the feminine form of &#1488;&#1491;&#1501; meaning "ground" (see Genesis 2:7). The word/name &#1488;&#1491;&#1493;&#1501; (Edom) means "red". Each of these words have the common meaning of "red". Dam is the "red" blood, adamah is the "red" ground, edom is the color "red" and adam is the "red" man. There is one other connection between "adam" and "adamah" as seen in Genesis 2:7 which states that "the adam" was formed out of the "adamah".

In the ancient Hebrew world, a persons name was not simply an identifier but descriptive of one's character. As Adam was formed out of the ground, his name identifies his origins.

Life is in the blood. . . we are told this several times in Scripture.

This is often stated however the context of the scriptures is in reference to animals.

It is my understanding that our life is in the "image and likeness of God".

It is this life (ie human life/soul) that the Lord breathed into Adam, along with spiritual life. (the Hebrew reads "breath of lives", plural, I am told.)

Adam's body, biological life, was formed from the ground.

Hence, human beings were created body, soul and spirit. (originally that is, we are not born that way today, apart from Christ who was born the same as Adam was created.)

peace
