"[[Text:EBD:God|God created man]] [Heb., Adam] in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
Red, a Babylonian word, Adam was absolutely the generic name for first man, having whom God created. He was formed out of the same meaning in [[Text:EBD:Dust|dust]] of the Hebrew [[Text:EBD:Earth|earth]] (and the Assyrian languages. It was the hence his name given to the first man, whose creation, fall), and subsequent history and that of God breathed into his descendants are detailed in nostrils the first book breath of Moses [[Text:EBD:Life|life]], and gave him dominion over all the lower creatures (Gen. 1:27-ch. 526; 2:7). "God created man He was placed after his creation in the [[Text:EBD:Gardens|Garden]] of [[Heb.Text:EBD:Eden|Eden]], to cultivate it, Adamand to enjoy its [[Text:EBD:Fruit|fruits]] in his own image, in under this one prohibition: "Of the [[Text:EBD:Tree of the knowledge of good and evil|tree of the image knowledge of good and evil]] thou shalt not eat of God created he himit; male and female created he themfor in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
The first recorded act of Adam was absolutely his giving names to the first man whom God created. He was formed out [[Text:EBD:Beast|beasts]] of the dust [[Text:EBD:Field|field]] and the fowls of the earth (air, which God brought to him for this end. Thereafter the [[Text:EBD:Lord|Lord]] caused a deep sleep to fall upon him, and hence while in an unconscious state took one of his name)ribs, and God breathed into closed up his nostrils the breath flesh again; and of lifethis rib he made a [[Text:EBD:Woman|woman]], and gave whom he presented to him dominion over all the lower creatures (Genwhen he awoke. 1Adam received her as his [[Text:26; 2EBD:7). He was placed after his creation in the Garden Wife|wife]], and said, "This is now bone of Eden, to cultivate itmy bones, and to enjoy its fruits under this one prohibition[[Text:EBD:Flesh|flesh]] of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."Of He called her [[Text:EBD:Eve|Eve]], because she was the tree mother of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely dieall living."
The first recorded act Being induced by the tempter in the form of Adam was his giving names a [[Text:EBD:Serpent|serpent]] to eat the beasts of the field forbidden fruit, Eve persuaded Adam, and the fowls of the airhe also did eat. Thus man fell, which God and brought to him for this end. Thereafter the Lord caused a deep sleep to fall upon him, himself and while in an unconscious state took one his posterity all the sad consequences of his ribs, and closed up his flesh again; and transgression. The narrative of the Fall comprehends in it the great promise of this rib he made a womanDeliverer (Gen. 3:15), whom he presented the "first [[Text:EBD:Gospel|gospel]]" message to him when he awokeman. Adam received her as his wife, It was because of this Original [[Text:EBD:Sin|Sin]] that [[Text:EBD:Jesus|Jesus]] [[Text:EBD:Christ|Christ]] was forced to come to Earth and said, "This is now bone die for the sins of my boneshumanity since that point. They were expelled from Eden, and flesh at the [[Text:EBD:East|east]] of my fleshthe garden God placed a [[Text: she shall be called WomanEBD:Fire|flame]], which turned every way, because she was taken out to prevent access to the [[Text:EBD:Tree of life|tree of Manlife]] (Gen. 3)." He called her Eve, because she was the mother How long they were in [[Text:EBD:Paradise|Paradise]] is matter of all livingmere conjecture.
Being induced by the tempter in the form of a serpent to eat the forbidden fruit, Shortly after their expulsion Eve persuaded Adambrought forth her [[Text:EBD:First-born|first-born]], and he also did eatcalled him [[Text:EBD:Cain|Cain]]. Thus man fell, and brought upon himself and his posterity all Although we have the sad consequences names of his transgression. The narrative only three of the Fall comprehends in it the great promise of a Deliverer (GenAdam's sons, viz. 3, Cain, [[Text:15)EBD:Abel|Abel]], the "first gospel" message to man. It was because of this Original Sin that Jesus Christ was forced to come to Earth and die for the sins of humanity since [[Text:EBD:Seth|Seth]], yet it is obvious that point. They were expelled from Eden, he had several sons and at the east of the garden God placed a flame, which turned every way, to prevent access to the tree of life [[Text:EBD:Daughter|daughter]] (Gen. 35:4). How long they were in Paradise is matter of mere conjectureHe died aged 930 [[Text:EBD:Year|years]].
Shortly after their expulsion Eve brought forth her first-born, and called him Cain. Although we have the names of only three of Adam's sons, viz., Cain, Abel, and Seth, yet it is obvious that he had several sons and daughters (Gen. 5:4). He died aged 930 years. Adam and Eve were the progenitors of the whole human race. Evidences of varied kinds are abundant in proving the unity of the human race. The investigations of science, altogether independent of historical evidence, lead to the conclusion that God "hath made of one [[Text:EBD:Blood|blood ]] all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth" (Acts 17:26. Comp. Rom. 5:12-12; 1 Cor. 15:22-49).
