Did God make other men on earth before he created Adam?

[Corinth77777]

I read Adam was the man created. All others are born of women.

If you can't understand that simply statement then I don't think I can add to the discussion.

What part are you having difficulty following? That Adam was the only created man found in the bible or that all others were born from women?

You are correct! Good day!

Look at every English translation; they have it translated correctly, where "the Nephilim" or "giants" is at the start of the verse.


I see that I misspoke above. Hebrew reads right to left; it's backwards from English. You're reading it left to right, which is the end of the verse. I'll correct what I wrote, lest someone else get confused.

Look at the link I provided for Genesis 6 in the interlinear. Notice that the first word(s) of verse 4 are "the Nephilim," and it matches with what English translations say.

The placement of the words still beggs the
question of the Giants..They existed before but does not distinctively say from the union. A while ago I think I believe I read something about judges or magistrates. Maybe something to look into.

I turned on my TV and it was Arnold Murray who my daughter did quick research after He mistakenly said Moses instead of Noah in the segment of the show where people asked questions and answers; only to find what their church believed and that He passed away.

Well I'd brought her and her spouse in on this to see if she could help me understand something else, so I recorded it for them to see later. Before I knew it another perplexing question came up. Anyway later I googled His name and found His teaching on the subject. I still am slow at trying to understand when he explains the language part.

Now when I read Genesis back when I remembered that it seemed like the author was giving an overview first, and then explains the detail in another paragraph.

But what is your take on his teaching . Do you agree with Him? And if so why, and if not why?

The video was teaching of the antichrists God is not a man.

The Nephilim "fallen ones" and not "fallen giants". What I call Hollywood style. Fallen mankind daughters and sons of men, not born of God.

The division of mankind. . .to represent the first birth. . . . daughters of men or son of mankind .

The second of God not seen born again

Sons of God (Christians) is what we are just as them before the flood..

1 John 3:1-2 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

The Young's Literal in this case seems to give a better understanding .

Genesis 6 : 1-5 Young's Literal Translation And it cometh to pass that mankind have begun to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to them,and sons of God see the daughters of men that they [are] fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have chosen.And Jehovah saith, `My Spirit doth not strive in man -- to the age; in their erring they [are] flesh:' and his days have been an hundred and twenty years. The fallen ones were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when sons of God come in unto daughters of men, and they have borne to them -- they [are] the heroes, who, from of old, [are] the men of name.

Interesting the phrase "to the age" many changes were made as a reminder not to be unevenly yoked with non Christians . . . the age of death changed to a 120 years and again in the Psalm 70 or 80 years.

Because of being unevenly yoked they destroyed the born again seed (Christ) Seed of the second birth
the whole earth changed . . mountains raised valleys lowered river were cut out

The ground to represent mankind (Adam red earth) no longer watered from the earth.

Genesis 2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

That water represents the gospel. It would seem to be used to indicate striving with mankind changed . After the flood inspiration from above spoken of below sealed with a sign to all nations rainbow clouds

Deuteronomy 32King James Version32 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:

It would seem to protect the believers from the evil one earthly inspired coming from sons of mankind. False teachers .
Next time the division will be the fiery end.
