We read in 1 Corinthians 15:45 that Adam was “the first man.” Goddid not start by making a race of men. The Bible makes it clear that only the descendants of Adam can be saved.

Since the Bible describes allhuman beings as sinners, and weare all related (“And He has madefrom one blood every nation ofmen to dwell on all the face ofthe earth,” Acts 17:26), the gospelmakes sense only on the basisthat all humans alive and all thathave ever lived (except for the firstwoman6 ) are descendants of thefirst man Adam. If this were n...

In Genesis 5:4 we read a statement that sums up the life of Adam andEve: “After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and hehad sons and daughters.” During their lives, Adam and Eve had a number of male and femalechildren. In fact, the Jewish historian Josephus wrote, “The number of Adam’s children, as says the old tradition,was...
If we now work totally from Scripture, without any personal prejudices orother extrabiblical ideas, then back at the beginning, when there was only thefirst generation, brothers would have had to marry sisters or there wouldn’thave been any more generations!
