According to Judeo Christians, if Adam and Eve were created by God, why aren't the earliest people Jewish?

Question

For example the ancient Latin Americans, Greeks, etc.. If Adam and Eve were truly created by the Judeo Christian God then wouldn't they all or a tleast any of them be Jewish. As far as I can tell Judaism goes back to about 1500 BC. Why were people previous to that time not Jewish if their creator was supposedly the Judeo God?

P.S. What you are not understanding is that I am not asking about the tracing of religon. I want to know why most people trace the ancient Jewis religion to about 1500 BC except we know man has been around for at least 100,000 years. So why weren't those first men believers of the Judeo Christian God?

Answer 1

According to our belief, Adam and Eve are not identified with a certain ethnic group or religion as they are considered the first people ever and they constituted the source of all human beings.

We also believe that we are not the first people, but god chose us of all nations, i.e there were plenty of nations before us, but god had gathered us and made us his people.
God is NOT Jewish by any meaning, and he is the god of ALL people, creatures etc. We do not think of him as "Judeo God" and we do not believe that he is our god only.

Answer 2

I always thought they were jewish. At least in a sense. Judaism has deep roots in tradition, so the early jewish people would not have had the passover and other commandments and such. But people have been monotheistic since the beginning. Many people strayed from the faith and became pagan, though. Which was the reason for Noah building the arc. And then there was the whole Tower of Babel fiasco where people were scattered across the world a began speaking in different languages.
I don't think the actual word "Jewish" was around then, but in all reality, those people must have been the early leaders of the Jewish faith. And the christian faith, for that matter.

Answer 3

Adam and Eve were the first people and all people til the flood came from this blood line, after the flood all people descended from Noah. All were Jewish. So technically all people from Noah til present day are Jewish in race.

Answer 4

Are you reading a Bible, The Old Testament? Look at Genesis 2 read it slowly and you may find the answer for that. I have answered this questions several times and I feel tired saying the same thing. Maybe, I should ask you to write to this man in his e-mail address and he surely will satisfy for sure whatever question you would raise in the [e-mail].

Answer 5

Adam and Eve were Monotheists but not Jewish.

Judaism only started at the Very earlyest with Abraham at the latest with Moses at Mt Sinai.

oh and please dont use the term Judeo-Chrisians its revolting. I dont want to be assoicated like that with Christians

Answer 6

Well, Nic, the word "Jew" comes from "Judah". Even the Israelites were not all of the tribe of Judah. Judah was a son of Jacob, who was a son of Isaac, who was a son of Abraham.
So God created all of humanity, and is the God of all of humanity. Jews are simply the descendents of Judah. Although the word also refers to the religion now as well.

Answer 7

The ancient Latin Americans? That was funny. The first Latin American was only after Colombo.

Answer 8

Because the chosen people were begun with Abraham. He was the one whom God made His covenant with, He was the father of Judaism.

Answer 9

You need to read more ancient history. Judaism was the first Christian (Christ like) religion, then Christianity branched out, and then Islam branched out from that. Do more research in order to understand it.

Answer 10

Jews are descended from the tribe of Judah. Before that they were Hebrews (descended from Eber) .
