This is the heresy of Polygenism, which was condemned by Pope Pius X in the early part of the 20th century.It has always been my understanding that Adam is representative of the first men, collectively, and Eve is representative of the first women, collectively.
There are two creation accounts in complete harmony with each other. There is word for the teaching that there were others created besides Adam and Eve: heresy.Not really a Catholic answer but if have noticed there are actually two creation stories in Genesis so some have claimed that there were humans created before Adam and Eve, they are called pre-Adamites, Cain could have married one of them.
The Cain’s line wouldn’t be totally descended from Adam and Eve.Not really a Catholic answer but if have noticed there are actually two creation stories in Genesis so some have claimed that there were humans created before Adam and Eve, they are called pre-Adamites, Cain could have married one of them.
Not really. If you compare the two you see that many things are created in a different order. The first creation story could be taken as the making of the heavens and earth and the second as a special creation of Adam, Eve and the garden of Eden.There are two creation accounts in complete harmony with each other. There is word for the teaching that there were others created besides Adam and Eve: heresy.
The man and woman of Genesis 1:26-27 are Adam and Eve.Not really. If you compare the two you see that many things are created in a different order. The first creation story could be taken as the making of the heavens and earth and the second as a special creation of Adam, Eve and the garden of Eden.
Well many who promote this are part of the Christian Identity movement. They claim that Cain was the offspring of Satan and Eve, that was what the first sin was about. They think the Jews are the children of Satan and the descendents of Cain.The Cain’s line wouldn’t be totally descended from Adam and Eve.
Chapter 2 is an expanded account of 1:26-27.Not really. If you compare the two you see that many things are created in a different order. The first creation story could be taken as the making of the heavens and earth and the second as a special creation of Adam, Eve and the garden of Eden.
What would you like clarification on?You take apart my questions, and answer with yes and no, but you do not even bother to state what you base this on. It seems one could do this to anything and come up with anything they wanted.
So through the course of time man has moved further and further inferior??Yes - man is far inferior to our first parents.
Clearly if one knowingly states and believes something different from what the Catholic Church believes and teaches they are a heretic.
You are mistaken - the Church didn’t put anyone to death. The officials of the local governments did.
I’ve never heard that before, interesting. Do you know anywhere it’s claimed? All scholars I am aware of consider the two different creation stories as being two distinct accounts (i.e. separate origins).Chapter 2 is an expanded account of 1:26-27.
Where does it say in the Bible that Adam and Eve had more children??Asked and answered.
Adam and Eve were first parents. Lilith did not exist.
Adam and Eve had a number of children beyond Cain and Able. Incest was permitted in the lateral line between brother an d sister but not between Adam and Eve and their offspring.
Understanding Adam and Eve to be representative is not in and of itself polygenism. If one holds that and excludes other necessary considerations, then it could be what Pius XII condemned. It was Pius XII in Humani Generis who referred to polygenism in 1950 (see para 37) vatican.va/holy_father/pius_xii/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-xii_enc_12081950_humani-generis_en.htmlThis is the heresy of Polygenism, which was condemned by Pope Pius X in the early part of the 20th century.
As Catholics, we are required to believe that Adam was one man, and Eve was one woman, and that Adam and Eve are the ancestors of every human being who has ever lived.
For what it’s worth, Sarah was Abraham’s half-sister (they shared the same father, but had different mothers).
THe first account is told about creation and its sequence. The second account is complementary and tells of mans importance.I’ve never heard that before, interesting. Do you know anywhere it’s claimed? All scholars I am aware of consider the two different creation stories as being two distinct accounts (i.e. separate origins).
The true church has nothing to do with mans inferiority. As time goes on corruption takes its toll. Genetics, mutations, disease etc are not strengthening mankind,.So through the course of time man has moved further and further inferior??
So the one true church has led man down further and further to inferiority??
Just because someone does not believe what you believe is a heretic?? It must be nice to know everything.
Two groups working together to kill someone and only one group kills, it still makes the other group a killer. Perhaps you need to read more instead of listening to everything your church tells you.
Complementary, ok. Simply an expanded version of two verses I wasn’t sure of.THe first account is told about creation and its sequence. The second account is complementary and tells of mans importance.
In Genesis 5:4: “The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years; and he had other sons and daughters.”Where does it say in the Bible that Adam and Eve had more children?
I’ve never heard that tradition, but thanks for sharing. I think the relevant point is that the Bible does not teach anything specifically regarding these speculations.“You made Adam and you gave him his wife Eve to be his help and support; and** from these two the human race descended**.”—Tobit 8:6
The bible says God created Adam from the earth, and made Eve from Adam, no others mentioned as being created like that, Once again if some others were physically directly created by God they would have no original sin, there would be many many more “immaculate conceptions” or sorts.
Both the predominate Jewish Tradition, and the unanimous Christian tradition is that Cain and Seth married their sisters. This was only permitted in ancient ancient times.
