It's not an issue that pertains to whether I am saved.

Adam been the first man is not an issue?

What should be an issue for Christians? If there were a list of things Christians should believe,should they believe Adam was a literal man who existed on earth?

I know it's been a few pages but I'll reply anyway:

Oh,really.
So where does it state everyone came from Adam?
It's racist to say Christianity is a white religion when it is?
...Christianity is a Religion of the Europeans,they believe it predominately.
So how is it wrong to say Christianity is not a white Religion?
It is racist to say Christianity is a white religion when it is not. The only way Christianity was ever a "white religion" is that for much of our history, almost all Christians were European. That was true once, but not today.

In terms of sheer numbers, there are probably less Christians in Western countries than there are in non-Western countries - our religion may be declining in Europe and the USA, but on a global scale it's growing.

And of course we started in the Middle East, not Europe.

The Genesis account does not exclude the possibility that:
a) Abel had children before he died
b) Cain already had other brothers and sisters
c) Cain was worried about people from future generations in his family who had not even been born yet
d) Cain was concerned his parents might take revenge into their own hands

Since Cain could have been referring to one or all of these possibilities, I still don't see that the scripture provides any support for evolution. Thank you for explaining the reasoning of those that do. You are welcome to debate my reasoning if you wish.
Abel would have been written in Adams geneology had he had children. It's pretty safe to say he did not.

b) Cain may have had a sister. I doubt it.
I think Cain was Eves first child.
You're assuming that Cain's father was Adam yet scripture never indicates that. Cain would have been written in Adams genealogy if he were born of Adam.

There is the possibility that there were other people on Earth.
There is the possibility that Cain was worried about other people in the world taking revenge on him for his sin.

But lost Israel migrated into Europe,the remnant of the Assyrian Captives.

....You stated Christianity was a White Religion when you said ''that for much of our history, almost all Christians were European''

Are you going to say all Europeans back then were racist because it was a White Religion?

I guess you're not familiar with Messianic Jews.
The term Jew isn't even a term used in the old history.
It is believed to be a word coined by Josephus.

Let us call them Judeans since that is what they were called and then we should also see that nearly 90% of those calling themselves Jews today had no trace of bloodline to the Judeans of old. Judeans were known as those living in the land of and not necessarily of bloodline of King David or Judah.

You will never find the scripture that proves Christ was a Jew as many Christians today falsely believe. Pilate said, concerning Christ, This man is a Galilean, send him to Herod who is over Galilee.
Galileans and Judeans were very different and the dialects were obvious and noted in the scriptures.

Kenites who were forbidden to be in the congregation of Yah had slipped in and became Scribes and Pharasees and perverted the Laws of Yahweh. It became known as Pharaseism and later Judaism.
No, Christianity did not come about from Judaism but Judaism was a twisted version of the religion of Moses and the prophets.

They sound familiar.

Jews who believe in Jesus?

How does that make Christianity come out of Judaism?

Matthew 15:2:Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

The Tradition of the Elders was the Babylonian Talmud.

Stephen S. Wise, deceased, and formerly Chief Rabbi of the United States stated, "The return from Babylon and the adoption of the Babylonian Talmud marked the end of Hebrewism and the beginning of Judaism. "

The Talmud was formed in Babylon,so how could Judaism be the Religion of the Bible?

JUDEAEN.

2453. Ioudaios ee-oo-dah'-yos from 2448 (in the sense of 2455 as a country); Judaean, i.e. belonging to Jehudah:--Jew(-ess), of Judaea.

Judea was the geography/national.

For example....

Matthew 4:25:And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

How do you want Jew to mean?

Do you mean Jew as in Judeaen? belonging to the Tribe of Judah or someone who practices Judaism and follows the Talmud?

Strong's Concordance contains the meanings of words,do you take words at face value?

You can't forget that words back then may have meant something different today....

John 4:9:Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

What type of Jew did she mean?

If you read further on...

John 4:22:Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

Do you take that to mean modern Jews?
