“Adam and Eve as written in the Old Testament were descendant of the Jewish people and not of the world. There were already people before Adam and Eve. Otherwise, Cain would not feel afraid to be killed by anyone who may find him wandering outside the Garden of Eden. God made a promise that whoever will kill him will suffer vengeance seven times over. In the flood incident, Noah's world was the only world they can reach and see. That flood may have covered a great part of the globe but surely there were other people somewhere far from the flooded area that did not even experience the deluge…"

“One reason why we have Gentiles. Before them were people with many gods and deities. Abrahams obedience to God when he was asked to sacrifice Isaac was not entirely his faith in God but a test of God if he still believe in the Old tradition of offering one's life to appease a pagan god. That is why it was the first and the last test made by God to let Abraham and his descendant know that he is not a pagan God who can be glorified by human blood offerings.”

Ha Ha Ha Hee Ho, what a wonderful entry you made. Got things really botched up haven't we? The Jews came MANY years after the creation. Adam and Eve first, and were told to "replenish" the earth. Kindly read and understand the complete text. Kinda like, put brain in gear before putting anything else in motion, that way nothing gets stripped out. The flood was world wide, every major people group on the planet have a story of 1 family surviving a world wide flood. If you can't, or won't believe the Bible, then accept the secular histories. They do parallel the Bible quite nicely.

I dont know where you are getting this notion but the bible confirms that Adam was the first man, and Eve the first woman. Cain married a sister since the first brothers and sisters were married to eachother. God allowed this so population can be increased with two people. All people and animals died on the earth died but 8 people who were in the ark.

You are very confused..
When Adam & Eve were created incest was not a problem. Eve was created from Adam's DNA and they had children. Not a problem at that point in time. It is too much to explain here in this forum.. You will get some of it in these answers.
You are supposing a lot of things that are not true and ignoring some that are. Incest was not a problem when man was created, the problems came later when sin took it's toll on us humans.
The reason that we have gentiles is because everyone is not a Jew. Anyone that does not come from the original 12 tribes of Israel is a gentile. Very simple..

If that truly were true then you just solve the mystery of the ages and forever convinced 28 billion people that god was just a man himself who told these people stories in an effort to keep them in line........................because we can assume we are talking about two people in a small garden being litterally told what to do by someone else and told to pass the stories along to generations and generations anyone could have done that...............think about what you are saying...........

actually some Gnostic writers believed that the entire Torah (Old testament) was largely re-written new texts invented by the Jews when they lived in Persia.

great question! the Amazons were also supposedly sculpted out of clay by a triad of greek goddesses (aphrodite, hera and athena, I think) then brought to life, but not the other races of greco romans, so why would Adam and Eve have to be the first?

Adam and Eve are also in the Koran, the Muslim Bible.

If God didn't like human sacrifice, what would be the whole point of producing a son and then killing him? Face it: God LOVES human sacrifice!
