Bible Note: doc Let me add one more point. Since we don't know what language Adam and Eve spoke, the name they could have picked could be far different that the one in Bible. We see a clear distinction between Jesus and Joshua yet in many languages there is none. In any case we still don't know Adam and Eve's motivates. There certainly wasn't a dictionary in existence that they could go through picking out names for how they felt. they may have known the meaning intuitively but no one can say for certain. In many cases the meaning of the name is assigned after the fact. All I’m saying if we are speculating let’s speculate, how we state things, in a dogmatic fashion or not, determines the readers perception of speculation or statement of fact. EdB |
