Genesis 1:27: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. In the second story, which most scholars attribute to the Yahwist, God created a man (Adam) at the beginning of his creation - not the sixth day - and created a woman (Eve) at the end of his creation.
Adam and Eve were not the first people to walk the earth. There was a 6th day creation of mankind in which God created all of the races and gave them something to do. Adam was created on the 8th day, AFTER God rested on the 7th day. The God took Adam’s rib, equivalent to the word “curve” i.e. the Helix Curve, i.e. Adam’s DNA to create Eve.
So I believe Eden had a garden of paradise but the rest of Eden may have been inhabitable or desolate. I believe Adam was created in the inhabitable parts of Eden. He was made of dust there and later placed in the garden that God planted in the east of Eden. As a side note, God brought Eve to Adam in the Garden (Gen 2:22).
Eve was created on the sixth day, thus mankind came into being both male and female. But I believe that God also created mankind on the sixth day using the template of Adam and Eve. Male and female He created them and blessed them saying be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth (Genesis 1:27-31).
No other creature was created in God's image - in the context of the creation account here in Genesis 1, we can infer the nature of mankind is more like God than any other created thing. It follows that, relative to all other created beings, Adam and Eve were equals.
When God returns and the truth is revealed the slime that holds the bricks together will melt and the churches will crumble. The story in the garden is about my marriage the woman and her husband. Not Adam and Eve. God’s church is represented by a pure woman that no man can defile. Directed to the Lord is the way to his church.
Adam is created to work the garden and care for it (Genesis 2:15). He then names the animals (Genesis 2:19, 20). This is not something that an infant could do. Adam and Eve are to "rule over" the earth (Genesis 1:28, 29). Such responsibility implies maturity. Eve is presented to Adam as a wife (Genesis 2:24).
Leith then examines Christian symbolism related to the Adam and Eve story in the Bible. Early Christians believed that Eve was created from Adam’s rib or side, and they found parallels between Adam’s side and Jesus’ side that was pierced during his crucifixion. John 19:34 records, “Instead, one of the soldiers pierced his (Jesus ...
2:8, Adam was created outside of Eden, perhaps with others? It seems that Eve was a special woman, created particularly for Adam instead of Adam taking a mate from the populous of women that may have existed outside of Eden. So, Eve was not an 'afterthought' but a reward for Adam--a man separated from others.
(Note that Adam and Eve were created in God's image well before their transgression. II. The Bible is awash in symbolism from the Books of Genesis through the Book of Revelation. Scripture is clear that God instituted marriage as a union between a man and a woman. And, yes, marriage foreshadows God's own union with Man (i.e. man/woman) as a ...
