There was Adam, and Eve came from Adam. Eve gave birth to Cain and Abel. Cain killed Abel in Genesis, so that means there were only Adam, Eve and Cain, plus God left on the planet, before Enoch was born and not including the animals of course. Now, here is where the problem lies, God states:
Who is "everyone", and who is "whosoever", wherever Cain goes,
Quote:when in reality, only Adam, Eve and Cain existed?Only Adam, Eve, and Cain had been mentioned.
Quote:Note: I am slowly going throught the bible to gather other inaccuracies.Pay more attention as you go. For instance, in this case, before getting to Cain and Abel you read this:
Gen 1:28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it."
So, although brothers and sisters aren't mentioned, it's reasonable to conclude that they existed.
Ok, I see where you are coming from. Now, why did God think it was important not to mention to Cain and Abel that they had brothers and sisters? At the start of mankind, and also in Church, we were told that Adam and Eve were the first people on earth, then along came Cain and Abel as their children, with Enoch coming later. Cain murders Abel, and so we are left with three, yet according to you, God or the ancient scribes decided to leave out details that Adam had brothers and sisters, which would nullify the fact that he was the first man on earth.
Gen 1:26 to 1:28
Quote:26 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.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 2:7 7 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.
Who is "Our"? If God is only one, who is God referring to?
God created man in "his", own image. Why is he referred to a singular form?
There are so many inaccuracies in the story it is incredible. Either Adam and Eve were created, or, he created other people but they were not significant in either way. Secondly, wouldn't Adam and Eve be considered as "miracle births", since no fertilisation ever took place.
