[quote:Anonymous Coward 166983:MV8zMTQ5NTlfNTM3NDMxN19FQ0Y0NDZEMg==] I will ask you the same question: Am I to ASSUME what God has done through omissions in the Bible? I see man in the singular. I see male and female in the singular. [quote:Person1 119873] What part of these verses do you not understand? Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, [b]Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it[/b]: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Original Message
Adam and Eve were not the very first people on this planet. The Bible relates to you how God created Adam and Eve and how they had two sons. It goes on about the history of that family in small detail and how Cain killed his brother Abel. After a while, Cain decides he desires a wife and what does he do about it?
The Bible explains that Cain went north to the Land of Nod to obtain a wife. Apparently those people in the Land of Nod, had existed at the same time as the Adam and Eve family, unless of course God just made them "appear," which the great books does not say.
All it says is that Cain went AND GOT A WIFE! So actually there are two lies present in the very first part of the Bible and in Genesis; that the Garden of Eden was the first place of man and that Adam was the first man.
Read Genesis, as it will not take long to get to the part of the "story" about the Land of Nod! This section is skimmed over very lightly when attending church and you will get vague answers when you ask the preacher, priest, or pastor about it. I was told once that these people “just were,” in answer to my question.
How can you believe in a book that starts out with a lie?
Please do not quote more lying scriptures, state logically why you believe that this is not a lie.
