Why do you refer to them as "scholars"?
Because they are.
Which one, Adam or Eve, is humankind?
I posted a link that examines the language for both.

stfu trans-karen idiot.Ah, apparently you're feeling guilty about some secret fetish of yours or something, and you hope to cover it up by these reactionary tantrums.
In any case, there is some legitimate debate on the translations from early Hebrew to Koine Greek and finally into English of the terms used for Adam and Eve, for those without neurotic obsessions.

It is also important to remember that universalism is implicit in the idea of monotheism, and the early Hebrewism is universalist and not to be conflated with the later 'Judaism' created by the Babylonians and the birth of the racist cult started by Ezra, that Babylonian Jews were more 'special' than other Jews and constituted a 'Master Race' among Jews.
trans-karen stupidity.Because they are.

Nope. It is not legitimate debate. It doesn't matter that Adam's name is also a word in Hebrew, in the Genesis story, Adam and Eve are both individual characters. In the play "The Importance of being Frank and Earnest" the two main characters are Frank and Ernest. They are individual characters, despite also being metaphors.In any case, there is some legitimate debate on the translations from early Hebrew to Koine Greek and finally into English of the terms used for Adam and Eve, for those without neurotic obsessions.
Prove it.It is also important to remember that universalism is implicit in the idea of monotheism,
Explain.and the early Hebrewism is universalist and not to be conflated with the later 'Judaism' created by the Babylonians and the birth of the racist cult started by Ezra, that Babylonian Jews were more 'special' than other Jews and constituted a 'Master Race' among Jews.
Just as I thought; you were fooled by morons.Because they are.
I didn't see any Hebrew at all.I posted a link that examines the language for both.
he coudn't find caiphus's toilet.Now you claim that Adam, Eve, Noah, Moses, and the Egyptians didn't exist.
You deny the Bible.

Denominations are man made! Organized Religion has you in Spiritual Babel!Do Methodists have to believe Adam and Eve were real historical persons?
Methodists do not have to believe Adam and Eve were literal, historical people to be in good standing. Methodism, particularly within the United Methodist Church, emphasizes theological freedom, often interpreting Genesis 1–3 as archetypal, symbolic, or "truthful myth" that explains the human condition, rather than a literal scientific or historical account.

The family tree is in the Gospels, Adam to Jesus!Some scholars hold that the Hebrew words for 'Adam' and 'Eve' have been mis-translated and refer to 'humankind' and not to distinct individuals.
Cypress has zero Faith,he always stands on the outside looking in! He has zero convictions and zero Faith!Nope. Both "blacks" and Jews obviously felt that their respective egresses from slavery were a huge mistake, and rushed to get back into obligatory obedience with the DNC.
You do not get to determine what is standard Christian theology.
Standard Christian theology also includes children who are not saved ... not being saved, as cold as that might seem.
I notice that you made darn sure to include the "if", so that you wouldn't have to logically justify your faith beyond saying "it's just what I believe."
Why?Cypress has zero Faith,he always stands on the outside looking in! He has zero convictions and zero Faith!
Life isn't like that! Sometimes you have to chose a side!

You certainly enjoy doubling down on stupid!!!

If you and IBDumbass didn't go to college, then that's why you aren't aware O-chem and biochemistry are offered as separate distinct classes.organic molecules are what organs are made of, dumbass!
I was just making a bad joke about organs.If you and IBDumbass didn't go to college, then that's why you aren't aware O-chem and biochemistry are offered as separate distinct classes.
O-chem is the chemistry of carbon-based molecules, including man-made compounds like plastics, synthetic polymers, VOCs.
Biochemistry is the chemistry of life processes like metabolism, enzymes, proteins, DNA.
I like the United Methodist Church.You're wasting your time in that church!
