Contrary to popular belief..Adam and Eve were not Jewish?

Question

This should not offend of Jewish person, if they really know there Judaism they will agree.

Even Adam and Eve were not Jewish. If you read the Old Testament. There were nothing but pagan nations on the Earth. God choose a people that did not have a home land or had any culture at all. If you recall he choose Abraham to start a new people, a new nation. Abraham was the First Jew, but not by blood, but called by God. He was not a originally a Jew. Abraham was from the city of Ur, land of the Chaldeans.
God called Abraham (than Abram) and told him to leave his homeland and follow him, and he will give him a new family and land of promise. That was his covenant that began a new people of God.

What are your thoughts on this?

Green Lantern, I agree, your right.
Andrea C, what? Did you read my post. I never said Abraham practiced pagan beliefs, I just said there were nothing but pagan religions around. That statement should not assume the Abraham practiced them though.
And I realize Abraham was not around with Adam and Eve. That has nothing to do with what I was saying. I never said he was around. I said Adam and Eve were not Jewish. Read again thoroughly before throwing things out a didn't say.

Yes LabGrrl, your right, Abraham was who the covenant was made to that would subsequently begin a chain of events, that would start the Jewish race. He was not a Jew. Sorry.
Did you have to use the phrase " if you were literate" ?

Sorry, "if you are literate"

Answer 1

Actually, Jacob became Israel when he wrestled with God all
night and the Pre-incarnate Lord Jesus Christ changed his name to Israel.

Adam and Eve were believers and their son Abel, don't know
about Cain. He committed the first murder. Cain when out
from the presence of the Lord and started a city and drowned
himself in this world's stuff to try to remove the thoughts of God.


Actually, Adam means red, or man from the clay where God
took him. We don't know his color and it doesn't matter to
God and race should not matter to us.

Answer 2

The problem with your logic is that when Adam and Eve were around they had direct contact with Hashem. They had it straight from the proverbial horses mouth. Abraham didn't come into the picture until long after Adam & Eve had not only been booted from the Garden of Eden for eating the apple but had passed away as well.

Also, Abraham did not practice paganism. Remember the 'war' of the idols where he smashed all but one of the idols and then claimed that the last remaining idol killed the rest? That proves he wasn't practicing paganism or idol worship from a very early age on.

Answer 3

God Taught Adam and Eve Monotheism and so they were the first believers amongst humankind. As the generations passed people lost the True and pure monotheism but God would send Prophets with the express purpose of bringing their faith back onto the One God and nothing else.

Answer 4

Actually, if you are literate in the Bible they are Jewish as an ethnicity....
The people we call ethnically Jewish were required to worship the Abrahamic deity for three generations because of the Exodus covenant.

Obviously, many of them took "sons and the sons of your sons" to mean more than three generations.

For those unfamiliar with the covenant in Exodus, the Abrahamic deity, in return for freeing the Jews from slavery, requires that he be first among their gods and be worshipped for three generations.

That's the literalist translation, mind you. Obviously the monotheistic tradition tends to translate it differently from the original.

Answer 5

Jews are the people who are born in the bloodline of Judah.The Bible never ever refers to Abraham as a "Jew" but rather as a "Hebrew".

I'd think it is wrong for those who says that Abraham is a Jew.

Answer 6

"Jew" comes from the tribe of Judah, one of Joseph's 12 sons. So, of course, before that, there were none. Not even faithful Abraham, the forebear of all the faithful, he being the only one to be called by God, "God's friend".
Prophecy instructed that the kings of Israel were to come only from the line of Judah. Jesus' documented lineage proved to be thus. He, too, was in line to the thrown of Judah through either parent, through Mary physically, and through Joseph legally.

Answer 7

the story of Adam or maybe in Genesis is initially a Jewish tale. the translation of this tale being the "fall of guy" or the stepping into of "sin" into the worldwide is a contemporary phenomenon invented through the Church. How do Jews interpret their very own tale, then? In Jewish custom, the story of Adam and Eve isn't considered because of the fact the autumn of guy, yet incredibly as a metaphorical delusion describing the theory through mankind of divine powers (wisdom), and accepting the cruel realities and regular jobs that comprise understanding. sort of like a becoming-up tale for mankind. It in simple terms happens that Christianity, it incredibly is predicated around a center jap Jewish Palestinian curly-haired brown-skinned Aramaic-talking illiterate peasant named Yeshua (later Romanized as Jesus), certainly had to settle itself around the time their savior grow to be allegedly born, it incredibly is quite much completely through historic situation, because of the fact that on the time the Jewish human beings have been dealing with the offended profession of Romans of their territory and felt a could desire to offer a redemption prophesy a pair of messiah who could one-up those uppity Romans. it incredibly is unlike Jesus grow to be the 1st guy or woman claiming to be the messiah on the time, although he did take place to be the main helpful at it. it incredibly is working outdoors the framework of the theory equipment. i could think of every physique working interior will arise with some sensible psychological gymnastics to justify this surprisingly salient absent-mindedness on the divine author of the universe's area, to attend some millenia in the previous springing his plan of forgiveness into action.

Answer 8

I dont believe Adam and Eve belonged to eny religion or group. Since they were the first human beings created by God, they couldnt belong to anything. they were simply god's creation.

Answer 9

I agree, but they were the first people and by them not having any paticular race ,they are the parents of all races.

Answer 10

Both were before the advent of Judaism.
