Bible Note: You ask "is it possible that what Genesis is saying is that Adam and Eve are the first people God made, but not the only people God made." No. This can not possibly be whatsoever. Romans 5:12 "Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned" If God had created more than one man, there would be family lines not inheriting Adam's sin. If there existed families not inheriting Adam's sin, then it would be possible for them to get to heaven by living sinless lives. If it were possible for them to get to heaven this way, they would not need Christ. If there were those not needing Christ, then He died in vain, and God is a butcher. Not only that, but there would be those who get to heaven by works, having no need for grace. Further, you would have no excuse, and no recourse. |
