What I want to know is.. if first there was Adam and Eve, who had two sons... Now what????
I think the classical answer there is that the Bible doesn't specify that those were the only two children Adam and Eve had at that point.

Just that Cain was born before Abel. (Maybe there is something specific about Cain being the first child, I can't remember.)

So Cain is born. A bunch of other kids are born. At some point Abel is born. Cain kills Abel. Seth is born specifically to replace Cain.
The kids fuck each other and there you go - humans.

This explains a lot.

The better question is how Jesus stumbled upon so many guys with those type of names who wanted to be part of a gang led by someone with a Puerto Rican first name?

I read somewhere that Adam and Eve is not their proper name. A& E are words from old Hindu language that mean Men and Women.
So it doesn't say if it is a single Adam/man or could be MEN. Many men with each men paired up with a wild women.
The snake could be their Ego. How could you describe psychology to someone in 1350 Europe?

The book has changed or being altered many times. So,,,, to each their own.

Not Hindu, Hebrew.
But yes, in Genesis 1, Adam reads as plural and means many people/humanity.
In Genesis 2, it's a different story, involving a single couple one created after the other.

what were those names in Aramaic before they were translated to Greek-Latin-English, sometimes with a stop at German? Biblical scholars now contend that none of the four New Testament writers (Matt., Mark, Luke & John) actually met Jesus. He wasn't on FB either...

They would have been banned on FB. Maybe they should try X

Maybe read the Bible to find out how. It will probably do you some good.

No need. I received my education in a country without separation between state and church. I had bible study in school.

I do not know how much good it did me.

Almost as crazy as Jesus being white.
Almost as crazy as his mom being a virgin even tho she was travelling with Joseph... Like we're supposed to believe he was just in The Friend Zone!
