Was There a Pre-Adamic Race?

[Rev Randy]

Did Eve give birth to you or me? Are you living?

She is the mother of all that are spiritually alive for she began the line leading to Jesus Christ. That is all that verse means.

Adam was not created...Adam was formed and that was long after the various races, mankind, were created. He was not the first human...he was the first man IN THE LINE to Christ. That is all that verse means.

And on the sixth day God formed? I sense a Gravette error being repeated.

 

[squint]

Satan was his spiritual father, not natural. When he didn't listen to God and started to obey satan, satan became his spiritual father.
1 John 3
In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother. 11 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, 12 not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother’s righteous.

Indeed.

With Cain and Abel there are spiritual principles put in play, just as there are with Adam and Eve.

The Cain and Abel sequence is taught throughout the text, and is noted by Paul in 1 Cor. 15 as 'first the natural, then the spiritual.'

There are many EXTERNAL SHOWINGS of this exact lesson in the Old Testament, Cain and Abel being one of the first ones.

The natural lineage of Cain was not the lineage of the second man, so in this sight YeShallTread is at least partially correct. But to base that notation on a strictly genetic sight will not compute.

We are all born as 'natural' people. We are all also born BLINDED by the god of this world who blinds our mind to the Gospel. That is the 'first natural man' and in this way none of us are any different than CAIN or CEPHAS or SAUL or any number of other showings of this matter.

Cain was in effect no different than Adam or any of the balance of us who are captured and blinded by SIN which same is of the DEVIL.

I would also venture that Abel was not sinless either. He also was born as a natural man in a natural body just like EVERYONE else.

There is the symbiotic relationship of HUMAN and HOST and it is a SPIRITUAL relationship that we all have with the spiritual blinding that comes with our natural birth. That blinding is from SATAN. In the spiritual sense the anti-Christ spirit is a spirit, but on the opposing side of the ledgers.

The veil is removed in Christ.

When any of us believe, we are in effect and purpose TURNED from the power of Satan unto God.

It has zero to do with 'genetics.'

Amen.

Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience: Ephesians 2:2

 

[Rev Randy]

Amen.

And Amen.

And on the sixth day God formed? I sense a Gravette error being repeated.

No. On the sixth day God created man. After the seventh day of rest He formed Adam. The sixth day creation is not Adam.

 

[Messy]

No. On the sixth day God created man. After the seventh day of rest He formed Adam. The sixth day creation is not Adam.

Genesis5
This is the book of the genealogy of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male and female, and blessed them and called them Mankind in the day they were created.

 

[Jere209]

No. On the sixth day God created man. After the seventh day of rest He formed Adam. The sixth day creation is not Adam.

What bible are you reading YST?
Edit to add "what version as well"

 

[YeShallTread]

Well, I have to look at it a third time because I've been convinced both ways now, but what seems counter-intuitive about Cain's seed being unredeemable is:

The serpent seed...beginning with Cain...is redeemable if that means to be accepted, from what I see in Scripture.

Genesis 4:6-7 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
​

If Cain doesn't do well, and he didn't, then he would be led by his daddy. What is "thou shalt rule over him" mean...who is the "him" that Cain "shalt rule over?"

 

[Fireinfolding]

Says unto thee shall be his desire (sin). Though Jesus told Simon so much, Satan desires to have you to sift you as wheat.

The apostles speak of doing well and being accepted of him that way also. Posted that somewheres here before.

 

[Tzaousios]

Deal with Scripture. If it is improperly taught then show the proper use.

If that is done, what will you do in return?

 

[YeShallTread]

What bible are you reading YST?

The Holy Bible...the KJV


Genesis 1:26-27 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.

Man(kind), all races, were created/made and they were...male and female.
​

1:31 And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.


2:1-4 Thus the heavens and the earth werefinished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended His work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made. These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

Everything He had created and made was FINISHED....everything! The seventh day...He rested. After that....
​

2:5-7 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

This particular man, eth ha adam...the man Adam, was formed for a purpose. And, unlike the others...he wasn't "created male and female" for he was alone.
​

2:18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.


The second chapter is not a repeat of the first. The first deals with the world...the second deals with the family of Jesus Christ and it continues throughout the Bible. It is His-story.

 

[squint]

Deal with Scripture. If it is improperly taught then show the proper use.

No scripture shall be interpreted based on genetics:

2 Corinthians 5:16
Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

The Holy Bible...the KJV
...

I've been reading the KJV recently, I bought a nice printed copy. I've also been browsing through the most recent New World Translation - a new edition was released on 5th October 2013 - and noticed that the cross reference in the NWT for Ephesians 4:8 is to Psalm 68:18 and that got me wondering if one of Jehovah's witnesses would notice that Psalm 68:18 is about Jehovah while Ephesians 4:8 is about Jesus Christ. But I imagine that even if they did notice there would very likely be some explanation to avoid equating Jesus with Jehovah in all but a subservient role as Jehovah's messenger.

I may ask the next time I encounter one of Jehovah's witnesses.

 

[YeShallTread]

Genesis5
This is the book of the genealogy of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male and female, and blessed them and called them Mankind in the day they were created.

Genesis 5:1-2 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made He him; Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

This chapter gives the generations of Adam, the man Adam. Also notice that Adam (without the article) is not eth ha adam or the man Adam. Rather, it refers to mankind that was created male and female. God mentions them and then....God speaks of the particular man Adam and his lineage....
​

5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:


Please notice....CAIN IS NOT LISTED!!! The line of Cain, the tares, is given in his very own genealogy. Do you wonder why?

 

[YeShallTread]

No scripture shall be interpreted based on genetics:

2 Corinthians 5:16
Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

And still...no clue as to the meaning of that verse.

 

[YeShallTread]

If that is done, what will you do in return?

What I have done from the beginning Tzaousios....continue providing Scripture and not derailing the topic by yelling....RACISM!!!

 

[Tzaousios]

And still...no clue as to the meaning of that verse.

Just as I said, here is what one gets when one provides Scripture to back up their challenges of YeShallTread. She automatically asserts that they do not know what the verse means, and thus have misinterpreted it. Yet still, she engages in no interpretation herself. A lot of good that did.

I know nothing of the Jehovah's witness. Do they deny that Father and Son are One?

 

[squint]

So what? Neither is Abel.

Nobody is disputing that Seth is the lineage in play. Still doesn't mean Adam did not have TWO SONS, Cain and Abel.

and Cain, the tare? Again, who are you kidding? A lot of the inhabitants didn't make it past the flood and had their lineage presented.

All have sin. All have sinned. No one is righteous, no not one.

It wasn't a challenge to anything I have said...nothing at all.

It doesn't deal with the first earth age, the seed of the serpent, or anything being discussed. The poster improperly applies that verse.
