Thank you for the comment linking the dead with prayers for the dead and the fact that the dead aren't really dead.

You're welcome.

Where Adam & Eve once knew only good...

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

See it now? Adam & Eve were the parents of all who "live", they were the parents of God's "chosen people". When you look at the sixth day again, you may see men & women were created on that day, plural. Notice how "adam" (man, men, mankind) is used in Genesis 1, while "Adam" is used in Genesis 2.

The Bible tells the story of God's "chosen people", yet it offers us clues about the exsistance of other people. Cain went to live in the land of Nod, "away from the face of earth", away from the face of God & he married. Where'd his wife come from?

Anyway, there's a purpose to all of the "begets", knowing how to identify the children of Adam's line. He was the father of all who live. Mary's lineage is given in Luke.

"Anyway, there's a purpose to all of the "begets", knowing how to identify the children of Adam's line. He was the father of all who live."

Well, now you're taking this to a different place, a bloodline of salvation, with those outside of that bloodline having no eternal life. I certainly hope that's not so.
