@MegalothX, I can appreciate disagreement. Especially if Scripture is used. However, to say I am twisting Scripture because we believe differently is not okay. You’re calling me a bad person at that point. We don’t do that here, (see: House Rules). Moreover, I never claimed to “enlighten” anyone. I just share what I believe to be true.
I think Talitha covered it, but remember what the Bible said,
Gen 7:20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
The depth of the flood was 15 cubits. The Bible said that was enough water to cover “the mountains”. Look it up, 15 cubits is about 25-31 feet. So then, the flood was only 25-31 feet deep. That’s what the Bible said.
Concerning races, I don’t believe African, Asian, Mexican, Caucasian, etc people came from one race of people. That never happens today either. God didn’t cause man to evolve, neither does the Bible say that, (see: Did We All Come From Adam And Eve?).
So, how about we read Romans together.
Romans 5
Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
God specifically told Adam, don’t eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, right? But, he did. In fact, it was Eve that ate first, and also gave to Adam. So Eve was the first to sin. Moreover, we don’t inherit our parents sin, so we didn’t inherit sin from Adam, (Eze 18:20). We die, as we “all have sinned”. Adam received the blame here, as Adam was supposed to be the man of the family, but he let his family down by allowing Satan into it.
Regardless, everyone stops reading there, but let’s continue…
Rom 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Now there’s the key.
The Bible said, sin was in the world before the law was. However, sin was not held accountable until God provided a rule against what He considered a sin. God did give Adam a law, don’t eat from that bad tree. He broke it, so he is considered the first to sin.
However, this also tells us, others were sinning, who were they?
