If God created Adam from the "dust of the earth" or "soil of the ground"?

Question

is it a fair assumption for me to make that Adam was more my skin colour (earthen) than the skin colour (the colour of sand (whitish) in my homeland) of my youngest son.

just a thought that popped into my head...LOL

Steve N: LOL..why? does it hurt you to think about the posibility that Adam was dark-skinned rather than white?

elguapo: i agree...for all we know the the "soil" in the Garden of Eden could very well have been pinky purple

ebidmelech: thats what so hilarious...i couldnt care less what colour Adams skin was.

I grew up thinking Jesus was white-skinned but then i hit my teens and figured maybe He wasnt - still - it didnt stop me from believing in Him.

Answer 1

Don't try thinking, you might hurt yourself.

Answer 2

One must make note that God created Adam in the Garden of Eden thus one can never know the exact color of the soil at the Garden of Eden.

Answer 3

Some people surmise that Adam's colour was red, because this word in Hebrew means red.

Those that have seen Jesus in the spirit and have described him historically, say that he did not appear to be of Anglo -Saxon extraction. His colour was olive or swarthy.

You must remember that in Jesus' day, the Germanic Peoples were not in ascendancy. You had the Mediterranean peoples and the Semitic peoples ruling. They were not completely white.

Look at the ancient Egyptians. Eighteen of them were of pure ***** extraction. If you don't believe me, look at the hieroglyphics.

The whites came into power in 600A.D., when they conquered Ceasar's army.

But strive to know Jesus not in the flesh, but in the Spirit. People of all colors and hues are one in God's sight - they are all made in His image.

Answer 4

From a purely genetic standpoint, Adam and Eve HAD to have been medium-skinned individuals as two white people can only produce white children and two black people can only produce black children. But two medium skinned individuals can make all of eight colorations ranging from pure white to pure black

Check this out:

Act 17:26 And [God] hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

Answer 5

Everyone knows that when Adam and Eve came over on the mayflower they were white skinned with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Yeah, amazingly, the Bible's setting isn't America, what do you know...

Answer 6

God created Adam out of the elements of the earth and the plant life grows to contain the elements of the earth that provides food to sustain man that is made of the elements of the earth.
Now name the elements of the earth.

Answer 7

I think Buy-Bull people thought he looked Middle Eastern. They thought Jesus was at least. (until the Renaissance which is where the current white, long-haired hippie image comes from)
The Toltec's carved heads that looked like Africans and the Mayans/Aztecs' savior deity looks like a bearded white guy.
Makes you go hmmm...

Answer 8

He was probably dark skinned as most people from that region are still to this day very dark skinned. He may have even been black.

Answer 9

My personal believe is that the creation story isn't literal truth...it was actually a simplistic way for G-d to explain the evolutionary process to primitive man. Yeah I know, ultra-Christians don't like this...but I'm entitled to what I believe.

Answer 10

So, why do food or people of any color end up brown when they rot? That brown is the color of the earth...

I just thought I'd put that out there too.

Answer 11

If God created Adam, he supposedly could have made him purple. Is there some reason to assume he was limited by the material's color? But, since there is no God...
