In The Beginning, God Created Adam And Eve

To really understand how we all got here, what it really means to be “born again” and why there is so much death and destruction in the world we live in - you have to go back to the very beginning to the story of Adam and Eve as told to us in the Bible.

To truly understand our roots and beginnings as Christians, we have to understand exactly what had occurred in this story. I’ll go ahead and break it all down under the following captions.
God Sets The Stage

1. As Christians, we have to believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible. There are many secular and atheistic teachers and professors who are teaching in our high schools and colleges that man gradually evolved rather than actually being created by our Lord. However, the bible tells us otherwise.

The account in Genesis tells us very specifically, and without any other possible interpretation, that both man, the heavens, the earth and all the creatures on the earth were CREATED by the Lord - that they did not progressively evolve over a period of time. The very first verse in the Bible tells us that God created the heavens and the earth. Here it is:

“In the beginning God CREATED the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)

The Bible then goes on to tell us that God then proceeds to create light, night and day, the seas, the stars, creatures to live in the seas, creatures to live on the dry land and then finally the man Adam - all in 6 days. Adam was created on the 6th day. Here is the verse that tells us that the very first man, Adam, was also created by God, and that he did not progressively evolve over a period of time:

“And the Lord FORMED MAN of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.” (Genesis 2:7)

Then God plants Adam in the Garden of Eden and gives him total dominion over everything in it - including all of the fish, the birds and every living thing that moved on the earth at that time. After a certain period of time, God then sees that it is not good that Adam continue to remain alone - so He then creates the first woman Eve by causing a deep sleep to fall on Adam and then takes out one of his ribs.

God literally creates the first woman from the rib of Adam. God meant for Eve to be a helper comparable to him and He then tells the both of them to be fruitful and multiply and to fill the earth and subdue it. Here is the verse that specifically tells us that Eve was also created like Adam was and that she too did not evolve from any type of primate:

“And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man HE MADE INTO A WOMAN, and He brought her to the man.” (Genesis 2:21)

Again, both of these accounts show that both Adam and Eve were created by God and that they did not evolve from any kind of primates.
