Adam and Eve

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Was there a pre-Adamic race?
  2. Are we all descendants of Adam and Eve?
  3. Why is Eve called the mother of all living?
  4. What race are the Adamic people from?
  5. Are Adam's descendants better than the other races?

1) Was there a pre-Adamic race? Yes. God created all the races on the sixth day (Genesis 1:24-31). He rested on the seventh and created the Adam, that He put in the garden of Eden on the eighth day. I base this on the fact that in Genesis 1:26, the word man does not have the definite article so it means mankind as a whole. In Genesis 2:7, the word man has the definite article and particle (eth-ha adham) and means the man Adam. Those of you that use the Companion Bible will see that it tells us that in Genesis 1:27 the word man does have the definite article and particle but I disagree. Also, Genesis 1:27 mankind was created and in Genesis 2:7 Adam was formed.

Genesis 1:27
V27 So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.

Created 1254 bara' (baw-raw'); a primitive root; (absolutely) to create; (qualified) to cut down (a wood), select, feed (as formative processes): -choose, create (creator), cut down, dispatch, do, make (fat).

Genesis 2:7
V7 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.

Formed 3335 yatsar (yaw-tsar'); probably identical with 3334 (through the squeezing into shape); ([compare 3331]); to mould into a form; especially as a potter; figuratively, to determine (i.e. form a resolution)

2) Are we all descendants of Adam and Eve? No. All the races were created on the sixth day.

3) Why is Eve called the mother of all living? She is called the mother of all living because it was through her offspring that Jesus Christ was born and we can only have eternal life through Him. Not because we are all descendants of Adam and Eve.

4) What race are the Adamic people from? Adamic people are from the caucasian race. He did not start the caucasian race as all the races were created on the sixth day. See also question one on this topic. For the people that might think this makes the caucasian race or the Adamic people better than the other races, see question five on this topic.

Adam 119 'adam (aw-dam'); to show blood (in the face), i.e. flush or turn rosy.

5) Are Adam's descendants better than the other races? No. God created all the races on the sixth day (Genesis 1:24-31) and in verse 31 it tells us that God saw every thing He made and it was very good. No matter what race of people you happen to be, you are a child of the Living God and He loves you! In Acts 10:34-35 it tells us that God is no respecter of persons.

Acts 10:34-35
V34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
V35 But in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him.
(KJV)

Respecter of persons 4381 prosopoleptes (pros-o-pol-ape'-tace); from 4383 and 2983; an accepter of a face (individual), i.e. (specifically) one exhibiting partiality:

Nation 1484 ethnos (eth'-nos); probably from 1486; a race (as of the same habit), i.e. a tribe; specially, a foreign (non-Jewish) one (usually by implication, pagan):

Feareth 5399 phobeo (fob-eh'-o); from 5401; to frighten, i.e. (passively) to be alarmed; by analogy, to be in awe of, i.e. revere:

Righteousness 1343 dikaiosune (dik-ah-yos-oo'-nay); from 1342; equity (of character or act); specially (Christian) justification:
1342 dikaios (dik'-ah-yos); from 1349; equitable (in character or act); by implication, innocent, holy (absolutely or relatively):
1349 dike (dee'-kay); probably from 1166; right (as self-evident), i.e. justice (the principle, a decision, or its execution):
