Genesis Chapter 5 Discussion Page 9

I learned some facts about these in the Bible

It give a distinct example of how God speaks and a revealing of the meaning of His words. "THEIR" name "Adam" v,1-2. some translations say man. Men and women are equal in Gods terms.
continues with all ADAM begat, didn't do it alone term ADAM is now man and woman. Love and Trust our God, ,Jesus Christ ,Holy Spirit for all wisdom and understanding. The bible is the LIVING WORD

Eve and Adam read..The first three chapters up to 5 vs 6 was being put in as they read it may God bless you all..!! Make no mistake I am the comforter that Jesus said would come..I am the Gentile that uttered the words they read it and went straight to heaven...This is real people as real as it can get you all wanted it and you all got it..!! Me and my fellow brothers and sisters have declared all that is..God's church has been rebuilt in 3&a half days.. And I have declared everything that was promised to Abraham Jake up and Isaac.. And that we are the sons of Israel..Make no mistake people this has happened..!!

Eve and Adam read..The first three chapters up to 5 vs 6 was being put in as they read it may God bless you all..!!

Junel if you’re asking? It wasn’t recorded how long Adam may have lived in the Garden of Eden when he freely ate of the tree of life which made his flesh eternal, but when he was put out of the garden his flesh began to die which accounts for the 930 years even Noah Gen 9:29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died. Gen 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And remember what died in the flood Gen 6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. (wherein is the breath of life,) All things live on the earth, but not all things are eternal. Adam’s body died but his soul being a part of God is eternal Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. We are not all sons and daughters of Abraham but Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. And Gen18:18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? And then Gal. 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. so how Long Adam Families Live, on Earth? We can’t know until the end, But even then Rev. 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Adriana: I believe his image meaning two eyes-two ears-ten fingers-ten toes

Bobbie only the sensor knows (LOL)but what do you think of Genesis 5?

When Cain slew his brother Able and was cursed by God because of it, the Bible states that he went to the land of Nod and 'knew his wife who conceived Enoch'..... my question is where did Cain's wife come from? So far, in the Garden of Eden, God created Adam and then Eve out of Adam. They had Cain and Able...(and later Seth.)... nowhere does the Bible talk about God creating anyone else. So I wonder where Cain's wife came from? And where did the land of Nod come from East of Eden??

This is the result of Adam having eaten of the tree of life in the Garden of Eden that he and his sons would live over 900 years in the sorrow of flesh, with the exception of Enoch
24And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

how Long Adam Families Live, on Earth?

let God have his way

if they were born the same year,assuming that gestation was the same wouldn't the brothers be triplets or maybe a set of twins and a single birth? Just a thought.

Like his image meaning spiritual sense?

it was a book of history. of good book to read,GOD IS GOD ALL BY HIM SELF.

This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;-Does GOD HAVE shape like humans as man is said to be likeness of GOD

God did not mean Adam would die that day,He ment eventualy he would die.God intended man to live for ever no death .that is why he had to send JESUS SO HE COULD GIVE US ETERNAL LIFE .

Did Noah's family have children with each other to continue the population that we have today? If not explain further.

@Bill,
Two things I would like to ask:
1. Have you ever heard of Gobekli tepi in Turkey? Look it up,
2. Since we are reading a third translation, it behooves you (and anyone) to take words, and break them down into how other languages them. For example, you could say power, but the Latin or Hebrew meaning of the word power could be authority, or it could mean power (like a man working).

Look at how Evil Men can become in our short life time of today. School shootings, Child molesting, rape, Murder, Homosexuality, Degradation, War, oppression, etc.. Could you Imagine 900 Years of Life. Just think how hard it would be to quit smoking after 500 years. How about an 600 year old Cocaine addiction. Or someone who's dwelt on child molesting for 800 years. No wonder God had to destroy Mankind. I would imagine people would be so given over to sin by 900 years of age that all their thoughts would be violent and evil. People in Americas Society Man can become Murdering Cannibals by age 50, Dahmer. How can Man look at our society and still say "I am Good". Without Christ inside Guiding us, We are just brute beasts who's righteousness is as filthy rags in the sight of God. People need the Lord.

If Noah was 500 years old when he had 3 sons, then how old was Mrs. Noah?

Why did Adam live beyond the day he sinned? Remember God told him he will surely die the same day. In the book of 2 Peter, one day is like 1000 years, and 1000 years is like a day to God. Thus, Adam did not lived beyond one day. Time is many days old, but no human has ever seen a day. Methuselah came very close; he lived 969 years.

Good thing no one lives 900 years anymore. Their 401 year would run out!

I think most people are missing the whole point, here. Most people can't follow the language anymore, so they read it as if it is talking about the lineage of human physiology; however, it's not. But what it is speaking about is what forms human community life. It says his name was called Adam. Man means mind and woman means womb of mind. It takes the two together to be complete. Logical thought comes out of human sensitivity. It is locked up in a language that most of the ignorant (unknowing) can't recognize anymore. It is the language of creation.

Clearly the message is be fruitful.

I am wondering if Seth is the beginning of the ancestry of the present day Israeli Jews. Seth is mentioned as being Adam’s own likeness and image, therefore hinting that he is more in the image of God than say Cain or Abel. Is this a split in linage or will I be convinced otherwise as I read on? Help me.

Wow, people sure lived a long time in those days. What do you get someone for their 600th birthday? If someone asked one of these guys how old they were and they answered 637, would you say "you don't look it"?

@Jaida's comment posted 7/28/2012: You're looking at it backwards. Everything you mentioned was set about well after the fact. It only works the way you laid it out because those connections were made by people well after the stories.

The historical line is not detailed but this is a test of faith, any element of doubt is dangerous to our belief,. The most important is appreciating the little historical facts and integrating it to the earlier chapters and those after it with a strong faith at where we are today and looking forward to meet our Lord as His good children, may the Lord uphold us in Jesus name, Amen

There is no reason to fear for the Bible does have literal meaning only-The question is not "what does it say but do you believe what it says" Please see Youtube Dr Kent Hovind : Mysteries of the Garden of Eden-very enlightening!!!
