Bible Note: You're missing it. The plan of salvation can only work if all decended from Adam. If it were any other way, God would have a different plan of salvation. But He does not. He gave us this one and only plan. If there existed other Men created from God's hand, they would not be related to Adam. Even science agrees we have all decended from one mother. If there existed families not related to Adam there would exist people who did not inherit sin. If they did not inherit sin, it would be possible for them to live a sinless life and go to heaven, spotless, blameless, and pure. If this were so they would not need Christ. If they did not need Christ to get to heaven, then we have no excuse, God was a butcher, and Christ died for nothing. Not only that, it would be entirely our choice by works to get to heaven. But further, you would not know if you had the choice or not. You would not know if you decended from Adam or a sinless father. You'd be in a crap-shoot for your eternal life. You are right, though, in saying "One hypothesis does have as much validity as the others" - CRAP! They have the validity of DUNG! The TRUTH, however, surpasses them all. Either the Bible is true and trustworthy or it isn't. Make your choice and live and die by it. If Genesis is not trustworthy, then it becomes a crap-shoot as to what's true and what's not. Pick and choose the parts of the Bible to believe. And if that's the case, you might as well close your book and go home, because it's all a lie. 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" Through ***one man*** |
