Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve?

First off, those who believe it was "Adam and Eve" don't believe in EVOLUTION. So that throws that out.\n\nSecondly those same people who claim they're "Christians" Keep throwing Levitical/Mosaic Laws in our faces when as "Christians" they should know that even THEY aren't bound to those same laws...their insistance is purely hatefilled.\n\nYou reminded me of something my brother says when he meets someone who's vihemently against gays and gay marriage. \n"Do you believe in God?" \nif yes, he moves on...\n"Do you believe your God is a loving God, a "father" in heaven?"\nif yes, he moves on...\n"Do you believe your God created all people?"\nif yes, he moves on again...\n"Then why would your Loving God, who creates all people, who is OUR Father in Heaven...Ever create an entire group of people JUST to be hated?" \n\nNow, as far as those who do use that silly phrase I say: \n\nYes, it was Adam and Eve, but if you believe in God who created all people, then it's more accurate to say "it's Adam, Eve, Steve, Larry, Janet, Misty, Kahdeem, Horacio, Tiffany, Joe, Alex, Jon, Pete, Doris, Patty, Edith....etc" \n\nI also remind them that if they claim to be "Christians" then they should remember that Jesus left us with only one mandate: "LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF!" \n\nThat was it, only one...and he NEVER ONCE said anything about gays/lesbians or same sex marriage. As a matter of fact there's not ONE referance to a committed, loving, devoted same sex couple ANYWHERE in the Bible!

The fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad is not known, and besides, it wasn't the fruit itself that was the problem...it was Adam and Eve's obedience that was the issue!

Seven Lights.  GREAT POST!!  I agree!!!\n\nMainwooly.  I agree even more, with you.  The Adam and Eve story main that we all come from generations of incest and inbreeding.  Adam & Eve have kids...then what?  The ONLY ANSWER is that they had incest and inbred to prepetuate mankind.  And what is REALLY hilarious is that IT HAPPENS AGAIN!!!\n\nRight after the silly story about The Flood!  Noah's Family walks off and WHAM!!  Incest and inbreeding in that Family for generations and generations ONCE AGAIN to perpetuate the species.  AND THIS TIME, not just humans, but every species on the planet!!!  All from incest and inbreeding!!  \n\nWhat utter nonsense!!!

Anyone who believes Adam and Eve were the only two people on the earth, has not read their Bible very carefully. There was a civilization in the land of "Nod". That is where Cain went to find his wife and build his own city. Adam and Eve were the progenitors of the Hebrew race

Maybe Adam and eve were not the only people. Outside of garden eden there were other people. Dont forget alot of the ancient information was taken out of bible, so maybe we are missing information.

Adam and Eve weren't the first people on Earth, this is a mis-conception that churches teach in Sunday School. There were people here before them but what was special about Adam and Eve is that they were the first people with souls. Look at Gen 1:28 it says replenish the Earth. It did not say fill but replenish. To replenish something it already had to be there. Also consider Cain getting thrown out, Cain was afraid of the other people slaying him so there obviously were other people out there just no one wants to talk about them.

I don't think that we "blame" anyone. Eve ate the fruit first and Adam later. They both sinned and that sin has been passed on to all the human race.No sence blaming anyone lets just learn how to rectify the situation through Jesus Christ.

Gays are going to Hell better turn from your evil ways pal! God doesnt like homosexuality If he wanted that he would have made Adam and Steve not Adam and Eve!! Not shoving religion down your throat just telling the truth. I know your gonna get pissed when you read this and that your going to keep on doing what your doing.

If we carry that line of reasoning to its logical end, would people named Adam also get angry? BTW, if it where Adam and Steve, non of us would be here (think about it!)

ofcourse nice question ... and this leads us to another question ...\n\nWhat was Adam's and Eve's DNA!!?\n\nJesus is like Adam ... No earthly or non-earthly father ... he is a messenger that God created from nothing just like he created Adam and Eve!

There was no green peace, democrats or womens rights organizations during the supposed time of Adam and Eve. And its nothing to do with Eve personally. I guess God wasnt worried about Adam eating it because he was to stupid to figure out what a "tree" or an "apple" were. A better question would be, who let the snake in? or Why did God create the tree and apple in the first place?

Ooh, nice question.\n\nActually, I think you could make a strong case that they didn't have sex until after they left Eden. There's no mention of it, and I know they had no children when they left. \n\nIt was eating the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge that made them realize they were naked; is it possible they were having sex prior to this, yet failing to notice this one detail? Which they then figured out from eating a piece of fruit? \n\nI could almost imagine them just not bothering to contemplate the fact that they had different genitals because the subject never "came up", as it were. But the whole Fig Leaf story just sounds absurd if they were copulating the whole time.\n\nAfter the Fall, of course, it wouldn't really matter if they sinned or not, having already been declared sinners.\n\nOn the other hand, if they weren't having sex prior to the Fall, and one assumes that God intended, or at least hoped, that they would not disobey Him and remain in Paradise forever, one has to wonder why He would give them genitals at all. I mean, seriously, what's the point? \n\nAgain, good question.

There was no Adam and Eve. What most Christians don't want to believe is, they're more of a symbol of the first man and woman.thats it.\n And being cast-out of the garden of Eden was the awakening or loss of innocents. No there was no garden.

I am no Bible expert but here goes....\n\nThey say that Adam and Eve were the first humans created, no where does it say they where the only ones created, think about that, if that were so would we all not be the offsping of incest?\n\nAs the people spread accross the world the people adapted and evolved over thousands of years to deal with their environments, including darker skin pigmentations to protect themselves from the sun.

i sure as hell don't.  I mean, why would God curse Adam and Eve for eating an apple?  I believe it's a symbol as are a lot of the other unbelievable parts of the Bible.
