As we all came from Adam and Eve is it fair to say we are all related?

Answer 1

We are all related. Every living thing on the earth is related, it's just that we classify being related by the proximity of the last common ancestor between people/species.

You might be, for example, a tenth cousin to the person you end up marrying, while someone else will be a hundredth cousin to the person they end up marrying (purely hypothetical).

Answer 2

We're all related in some form or other....

Problem with that is..... the nearest common MALE ancestor is a lot more recent than the nearest common FEMALE ancestor.
I mean.... the two lived several thousand years apart and never met each other....

That Adam and Eve stuff is nonsense...
And besides, if you believe the biblical stuff then you'd have to believe that the nearest common ancestors of humankind are Noa and his wife.... right?

Answer 3

Adam and Eve did not exist but we are all related anyway.

Answer 4

. Common sense dictates that Adam and Eve were symbolic terms for mankind. Yes, we are all connected, but not because Adam and Eve are the parents and origin of all life.

Answer 5

Yes it is! We all come from the Father in heaven! The Father and Jesus have, from the beginning, planned to increase Their kind. The God kind is a family! It is headed by the Father and now consists of the Father and the Son, Jesus Christ.

These two have always existed and always will exist. Their plan and desire are to add to Their kind—"bringing many sons to glory" (Hebrews 2:10). Just as all life was made to reproduce after its own kind as stated throughout Genesis 1, so God patterned man after the God kind. This is the ultimate meaning of verse 26, where God says, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness."

This is a two-stage process. First, God made man physical, of the dust of the earth. Then, through conversion and faith in Christ and obedience to God's spiritual law of love, men and women become a new "spiritual creation" (2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 4:24). This leads to the final birth of new children into the divine family, who are then "like" Christ, Himself the firstborn Son of God (Romans 8:29; Galatians 4:19; 1 John 3:2).

Indeed, just as human children are the same kind of beings as their parents (that is, human beings), so will God's children be the same kind of beings as the Father and Christ (that is, divine beings). This is the awesome destiny of mankind! The God family will expand through God's wonderful plan as revealed in His Word.

All children of this family—including Christ, who has always been with the One whom Christ revealed as "the Father" (John 1:18; Matthew 11:27)— will forever in the future willingly be under the ultimate sovereignty and leadership of the Father (1 Corinthians 15:28). Led by the Father and Christ, the members of this divine family will share a glorious and righteous eternity into the future.

This, then, is the sense in which God is a family—indeed a growing family, presently comprising two divine Beings, the Father and Christ the firstborn, yet ultimately to be joined by a vast multitude of others.

Answer 6

Yes if everyone could do their genealogy that far back we would be related.

What I want to know is where manna eater gets that it is a sin to have interracial sex? There are many incidents of interracial marriages in the bible. If you are talking about being unequally yoked that is talking about you shouldn't marry outside your religion. .

Answer 7

No. As we all DIDN'T come from 'Adam and Eve' or any OTHER mythological couple, it's only fair to say we're all related in that we're all humans and humans are one species.

Answer 8

Yes, the Bible teaches:

Acts 17:26 And he has made of one blood all the nations of men living on all the face of the earth, ordering their times and the limits of their lands....

And science confrims:

Answer 9

Yes, however distantly. Scientific evidence has recently confirmed this. Studies of mitochondrial DNA indicate that we all trace our ancestry to a single woman.

Answer 10

Whether a creationist or an evolutionist there's one thing that's undeniable.......we would all have to come from a common ancestor......at some point, there was a first human.
