You're right. Seth was not female, however.

So the premise is faulty and it is an assumption, ok what is your interpretation then????????? and CAIN may not of survived but his FATHER SATAN did.
DPS
SHE was deceived at no time ever did CAIN why do you think he was so jealous of ABEL just like SATAN of christ he never had grace from god even hius sacrifices were not excepted he was from the blood of SATAN are you telling me GOD allowed EVE to conceive evil or that because she ate from the tree that was her punishment in the womb. GOD doenst create evil he creates the potential for evil.
Still no answer!!!!!!!!!! SO she ate from the tree and then sinned and that created evil,lol.
You're right. Seth was not female, however.
Adam and Eve lived about 900 years without birth control. You do the math.
According to the Bible, Adam and Eve were the frist two humans. Adam could very well symbolize the gender of all men and Eve the gender of all women. However, the Bible doesn't say that.
HUH??????????
Fine. Tell that to repub32!
The above is total BS. The Bible says "fruit of the tree." You know, the big plants that grow out of the ground. Plus, as someone mentioned Adam slept with Eve & she conceived Cain & then later gave birth to Abel
To which moronic cult do you belong?
Much too long a read. Is there anything in it as to where and who Cain's wife was if there were no other people on the Earth?
More garbage.
So GOD created evil in the womb of EVE?????????? GOD does'nt create evil so to say he created evil in the womb completely goes against the theory of GOD creates the potential for evil he does not create evil SATAN does and Being CAIN had no grace fom GOD right from the beginning says to me that GOD knew of what blood he was and it wasnt his. GEN:4 3-5 and this before he killed ABEL and sinned. CAIN had no sin at this time is it not the sinner who needs to be saved and then can receive grace from GOD is it not the SINNER god wants the most????? SO why was CAIN even before he sinned not accepted by CHRIST?????
Marrying a sister, half-sister, niece, etc. was not taboo then.
"Pentacostal" what? Are you making this stuff up on your own, or is it what your church is teaching you?
So were is it that it says ADAM and EVE were created 1st????????????????? if you read GENESIS ADAM and EVE are not talked about till god is done creating the earth and on the sixth day the races were created!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's possible they were created along with all the other races thats possible it just talk's of GOD placing ADAM in the garden.
The Hebrew word translated "man" is adam. In the manuscripts it is not preceded by the definite article 'eth and so it does not refer to a specific person, i.e. the word adam means human being or mankind, and no gender is implied. This is an extremely important point to understand. If you have a Companion Bible it will document it for you.
We are on the eighth day. God has just formed (not created as in chapter one) a special man to "till the ground" and has placed him in the garden of Eden to dress it and keep it. Why this special creation? Because it would be through this man, 'eth ha Adam, and his soon to be formed wife, Eve, that the Messiah, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, would be born. It was God's plan from the beginning.
And so, we better be prepared to expect that Satan will try his best to thwart this plan of God and to destroy this woman and her offspring! If we keep this objective (to destroy the seed line of Christ) in mind throughout the Old Testament, as we read it, we will better understand the events that took place, like when king Abimelech took Sarah, after Abraham told him that she was his sister, and when Judah took "foreign" wives, and produced "non-qualified" offspring, etc.
Let's now look in on Adam and see how he is doing.
Genesis 2:18
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Oh, the poor boy is lonely.
This particular verse should easily be understood by all those who have gone through puberty, i.e. Adam needed a woman. The fundamental things of life remain, "As Time Goes By".
[19] And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
These are the domestic animals, or better said, the "farm animals" that were created to compliment the "man to till the ground" whom our Father had just formed, i.e. Old McAdam, the farmer.
You will find, if you care to check it out, that in chapter 1 verse 24, God brought forth the beasts of the "earth", erets in Hebrew, meaning the "earth at large" or "wilderness", i.e. the wild animals (wild kingdom I like to call it).
But here in chapter 2 verse 19 he formed every beast of the "field", sadeh in Hebrew, meaning "country" or "field", i.e. field animals or farm animals. Once again, notice that these animals were formed AFTER the man was created whereas in chapter one the wild animals were created BEFORE mankind. These were separate creations.
[20] And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
This verse reveals that dog is not really man's best friend! So don't let anyone fool you into believing that line.
[21] And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
Adam was the first human being to under surgery. The Hebrew word translated "rib" is tsela, and it is derived from the root word tsala, which means "curve", not rib. And so it is that women are more "curvy" than men.
[22] And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
Some would speculate that the "curve" taken from Adam was in fact his DNA, which it may well have been. Although DNA is very "curvy" (if you've ever seen a model of it), not much in the way anesthesia and surgery would be necessary to acquire it.
I truly love this aspect about God's Word, when not much in the way of details is supplied to an event or occurrence, and we are left free to speculate and use good common sense.
[23] And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
While we are on the subject of speculation, do you suppose Adam witnessed the formation of some of the domestic animals that his Father formed and brought to him? It would certainly make the reality of this verse profoundly more impressive to Adam, knowing that this time God used material and substance taken directly from his own body. Think about it!
[24] Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Ephesians chapter five will document the spiritual aspect of being one flesh, and that husbands and wives should love each other as much as our own flesh.
But even so, it is true that when a man and a woman "cleave" together, their combined flesh becomes "one flesh" in their child.
[25] And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
They had no reason to be ashamed for they had committed no sin. Neither would any husband and wife, standing before each other naked, be ashamed, unless perhaps one of them had been unfaithful!
Genesis 3:1
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
OK, it is now time to "grow-up" and mature in the Word of God. Who is this serpent who was more subtle, meaning wise, than any other living, created being, human or otherwise, in the garden? ... a literal "snake" standing upright like we see in the Bible story books? Please!
Perhaps when we first begin reading the Bible and have only gotten to chapter 3 of Genesis, we might not be quite sure who this serpent is. But if we read the whole Word of God, there can be no doubt who he is and what he looks like.
Rev. 12:9
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
That "old serpent" in the garden was Satan himself, not disguised as a snake, but the creep is a "snake", in the figurative sense, of course! I've done business with some snakes before and they really are cunning and conniving.
Anyway, this old serpent has perpetuated a lie, a tradition, about the "snake" and the "apple" long enough. It is his plan to deceive a Biblically ignorant people with such trot, "because it ministers to the acceptance of his lie, the hiding of God's truth, the jeers of the infidel, the opposition of the critics, and the stumbling of the weak in faith." (Companion Bible, appendix 19, last paragraph.)
Again in Revelation 20 we see who that serpent was. He is to be bound during the millennium for 1000 years.
Rev. 20:2
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
The apostle Paul also made it clear who this serpent was in 2 Cor. 11:3:
2 Cor. 11:3
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
The Greek word for "serpent" is ophis, which means "an artful, malicious person; (figuratively a snake).
Satan was beautiful and charismatic and charming, truly a glorious "angel of light" (2 Cor. 11:14).
Let's repeat Gen. 3:1.
Genesis 3:1
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Notice that Satan is about to tempt Eve with God's Word. He is quoting God! Remember he tempted Christ in the wilderness with God's Word. It is his MO, his greatest method of deception. By misquoting and twisting the scriptures and causing people to believe the "letter" of what is written, instead of the "truth" of what is written, he is able to perpetuate mass deception on an uninformed populous.
[2] And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
Eve knew that she and her husband could freely partake of all the trees created for food. She also knew that there was a special set aside "tree", in a specific geographical location (in the midst of the garden), that they had better stay away from.
[3] But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Satan has now brought into question the Word of God. So Eve, in her reply, omits the word "freely" (preceding 'eat thereof'), adds the words "neither shall ye touch it", and alters the certainty "thou shalt surely die" into a contingency "lest ye die".
[4] And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Satan now contradicts the Word of God and tells the first of many, many lies, for he is the father of lies (John 8:44).
Unfortunately, we have exceeded our length of study for this day, so in the next episode we will go back and spend some time on verse 3, documenting the true identity of the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil", who dwelled in the midst of garden. We will also examine the Hebrew origin of the word translated "touch", because there is about to be a seduction in the fig grove. Don't miss it!
