Please tell me if I am reading it wrong. I am aware of the "dual creation" in Genesis...your points are interesting, because most apologetics that I have seen claim that the second one was just more detail than the first.
Interesting.
So...the way you understand it, God created generic man and woman, and God created Adam and Eve as another act of creation?
I am aware that Adam and Eve had more kiddies than are mentioned in Gen. Obviously, they would have had to.
I do have a few other questions...if your theory is correct, would that kind of not kill the idea of "original sin?" I mean, if there are "Sons of God" descended from Adam...then they would have his sin. The "Daughters of men" would, by definition, not have adam's sin on their heads, since they are not descended from Adam.
Were they in the Garden too? I mean, creation occurred before the fall..so they must have been.
[b said:Quote[/b] ]Genesis 1:27. First God created man (singular). Adam? No mention at the beginning of verse 27 of female until the end. Then God created them (plural) male and female.
Adams line (or seed) is not the same as the others.
Genesis 4:14 Cain whines that he has become a wonderer in the Earth and who ever finds him will kill him. Who is the "who ever" in his lamentations?
Cain found a wife? Who was that, where did she come from? He built cities? For who, and where did they come from?
Adam and Eve did not only have Cain, Abel and Seth, they had many other sons and daughters.
The way I see it, the sons Adam and Eve had were the Sons of God. And the daughters of Men are the daughters of the others.
