ChristisKing,
I meant to say "Hebrew" instead of "Greek".And the following is one of the meanings of the word "adam":
"man, mankind (much more frequently intended sense in OT).
Jerry,
You meant to address me as ChristisKing and you called me "
godrulz", you meant to say "Hebrew" and you said "
Greek." You respond to my posts litterally within minutes and it has become very obvious that they are without too much thought. May I please may a suggestion?
Slow down!
Give some thought to what you are saying and what others are saying to you. Give some thought to what the Holy Spirit has been teaching the Church for 2000 years. Maybe you haven't figured "everything out" yet. Maybe the Church has not been mistaken for 2000 years in it's Orthodoxy. Maybe the excommunicated heretics who believed the doctrines that you both believe and are teaching were excommunicated for a reason. Maybe the President of Princeton Jonathan Edwards, well known as the greatest native born American intellectual to have ever lived, can teach you something. Maybe Martin Luther, John Knox, John Calvin, the Westminster Assembly, the Mayflower Pilgrims, the 39 Articles of the Church of England, and the Reformation etc., can teach you something.
Stop with the "flash posts" and
think!
Start with some careful thought about how the word "man" is used interchangably" for "Adam" throughout Scripture. Maybe you are mistaken with this as well. Consider just these few quick examples:
Gen 1:26,27
KJV - 26 And God said, Let us make
man {Hebrew adam} in our image, after our likeness:... 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
ESV - 26 Then God said, "Let us make
man {Hebrew adam} in our image, after our likeness... 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
NRSV - 26 Then God said, "Let us make
humankind {Hebrew adam} in our image, according to our likeness;... " 27 So God created humankind {Hebrew adam} in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
TEV: - 26 Then God said, "And now we will make
human beings {Hebrew adam}; they will be like us and resemble us... 27 So God created human beings{Hebrew adam}, making them to be like himself. He created them male and female,
Gen 2:6,7
KJV - 6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 7 And the LORD God formed
man {Hebrew adam} of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man {Hebrew adam} became a living soul... 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 {Hebrew adam} to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam {Hebrew adam} called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 20 And Adam {Hebrew adam} gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam {Hebrew adam} there was not found an help meet for him. 21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam {Hebrew adam}, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man {Hebrew adam}, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man {Hebrew adam}.
ESV - 6 and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground -- 7 then the LORD God formed the
man {Hebrew adam} of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man {Hebrew adam} became a living creature... 19 So out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man {Hebrew adam} to see what he would call them. And whatever the man {Hebrew adam} called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man {Hebrew adam} gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam {Hebrew adam} there was not found a helper fit for him. 21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man {Hebrew adam} , and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man {Hebrew adam} he made into a woman and brought her to the man{Hebrew adam}.
NRSV - 6 but a stream would rise from the earth, and water the whole face of the ground — 7 then the Lord God formed
man {Hebrew adam} from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man {Hebrew adam} became a living being... 19 So out of the ground the Lord God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man {Hebrew adam} to see what he would call them; and whatever the man {Hebrew adam} called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man {Hebrew adam} gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every animal of the field; but for the man {Hebrew adam} there was not found a helper as his partner. 21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man {Hebrew adam} , and he slept; then he took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man {Hebrew adam} he made into a woman and brought her to the man {Hebrew adam} .
TEV - 6 but water would come up from beneath the surface and water the ground. 7 Then the Lord God took some soil from the ground and formed a
man {Hebrew adam} out of it; he breathed life-giving breath into his nostrils and the man {Hebrew adam} began to live... 19 So he took some soil from the ground and formed all the animals and all the birds. Then he brought them to the man {Hebrew adam} to see what he would name them; and that is how they all got their names. 20 So the man {Hebrew adam} named all the birds and all the animals; but not one of them was a suitable companion to help him. 21 Then the Lord God made the man {Hebrew adam} fall into a deep sleep, and while he was sleeping, he took out one of the man's {Hebrew adam} ribs and closed up the flesh. 22 He formed a woman out of the rib and brought her to him.
