Which of course completely contradicts scripture.I happen to believe Adam stood for all of mankind and therefore wasnt a singular person.....
Question in title
I say yes.
To those without, all thing are done in parable. So that seeing they will not see. Of the over 500 accounts of the word Adam(or hebrew word translated as adam sometimes and man/mankind others) in scripture, about 10 could be translated as a singular noun....e.g. the name of a person/place....one of the times, was, in fact, naming a place.Which of course completely contradicts scripture.
Its a bit foolish to claim a parable when the real life story in Genesis is self evident. ie. Adam is treated as a singular person by the Lord.To those without, all thing are done in parable. So that seeing they will not see.
True but irrelevant to the story.Of the over 500 accounts of the word Adam(or hebrew word translated as adam sometimes and man/mankind others) in scripture, about 10 could be translated as a singular noun....e.g. the name of a person/place....one of the times, was, in fact, naming a place.
And this is how you are suppose to see it until you are ready to see more. There is nothing wrong with what you believe.Its a bit foolish to claim a parable when the real life story in Genesis is self evident. ie. Adam is treated as a singular person by the Lord.
True but irrelevant to the story.
Moab was a singular man, but later on is referred to as a people group. That can never detract from the singular origin.
Ditto Edom, Ishmael, Israel, Ephraim etc. Every one a singular real person, and pretending they were never anything but people groups would be really silly. The same with Adam the man, and Adam as mankind.
Um, he’s completely right though. Study your Old Testament and that’s exactly the truth.And this is how you are suppose to see it until you are ready to see more. There is nothing wrong with what you believe.
"I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able."
Most people would and should agree with you and him. I see nothing wrong with it. Continue as you believe.....Um, he’s completely right though. Study your Old Testament and that’s exactly the truth.

Yes, and we still do so today. When was the last time you judged something good or evil?Did "all of mankind" talk with Eve and decide to eat the apple?
yes, at one point.... but we separated......now our goal should be to become one flesh. And for this cause shall man leave mother and father.Was "all of mankind" married to Eve?
Yes, Eve was in Man...until she was removed from us. And Yes, we have all heard that voice in our head telling us who outside of us is doing wrong......when we agree, is makes us feel as gods judging good and evil..Was "all of mankind" also "Eve"? so then did 'All of mankind' talk to the serpent?
Was "all of mankind" in the garden sinless, perfect, and married to someone at the start?
Yes, but we did not suddenly become naked.....we perceived ourselves as naked.....needing more than we had be whole.Was "all of mankind" suddenly naked after eating the apple -- and hiding when God showed up.
Yes, and we still do..... and will.... until we cleave to her and become one flesh again.Did "all of mankind" blame Eve?
As "a single person" it makes sense... but as 10million people - it is nonsense.
The evidence that Adam understood redemption is witnessed in Abel."Did Adam and Eve obtain salvation?"
I see no evidence that they sought salvation or repented. They died the day they sinned and were physically alive meaning they died a spiritual death. If no repentance and forgiveness they would be lost souls sent to Hades until judgment day of the unsaved. Keep in mind Adam is a a human type of Lucifer. Created sinless, then willfully sinned against God, fell from grace and kicked out of "paradise" and dying a spiritual death. I say it is unlikely Adam was forgiven. Everyone likes to assume Adam was somehow this great guy but what if he was evil, even worse than Judas?
