Did GOD created 2 humans races?

The first race (created in the sixth day):
Genesis 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

The secondth race (created before any plants, trees, and herbs. According Genesis that was the third day.):
Genesis 2:7
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

In one occasion He made them both male and female, in the other occasion He made just male, later He made the female. What's your take on this?

Yes, Men and Women.

Out on a limb…

Blue eyes and brown eyes.

Since we're deconstructing the Bible, where did Caine go after he killed Adam? Somewhere it says he split to another tribe… Tilt!

where did those people come from?

I wouldn't seriously consider using the Book of Genesis as a legitimate source when dealing with the history of the earth and humankind. That book should be viewed as fictional literary material rather than a source of factual information.

That said, i would consider humanity a species made up of genetically and ethnically different races and populations of people. That is my opinion though.

Let's make that better. Why negate the existence of Abel and Caine?
Genesis 5
1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth.
( I see another thread coming ).

I have a more conservative approach. I think that He probably created 2 humans races, and the other ones came via evolution ( more likely adaptability ).

I'm not.
Just asked where the other tribe came from?

Maybe you answered that already.

I think its a fairy tale anyway. Just playing along. There can't be holes if its all true.

Did you ever consider that there is more than one version of this genises story...

There are at least 2 in the examples you've given...

In my opinion, there have been many human races on earth in it's history.

Depending on how one conceptualizes God will answer whether our appearance on Earth is of Divine Providence or otherwise.

Your quite right. I don't consider it a legitimate source for scientific or archeological reference. But is a nice source for debate on those matter.

Shhhhh. I asked that question as a young kid, and was basically told to shut up, and believe.

Just another evidence of the save your soul scam. Lots of editing was done to make it appear seamless. They missed a few loose ends though.

The bible has two different creation storys, they arre only slightly different in there contexts.
Both creation accounts and both similar enough to be considered the same story, just told twice.

Remember the bible was first spoken and not written, these teachings were oral.

Dont expect to see a scientific account in the creation story, thats a little over stretching for the recollections of the authors and the spoken word past down through the ages.

There are many more races to humanity than just two. Even if you just take the broadest genotypes, we are looking at seven or more races of humankind, but really even a place like East-Asia is really made up of several races of Asian who rarely interbreed. Only since America became a melting pot have we in the Caucasian world begun to see things in such broad terms, but at one time, even in this country, and Italian and an Irish person would never interbreed.

If we devised a taxonomy around humans the way we do other animals, these behavioral levels of sexual discrimination would be cause for classifying a new sub-species. Sometimes finches on one side of a stream stop breeding with those from another side. Why is this? Without sexual discrimination, new species cannot emerge through specialization. Perhaps the climate and conditions of Italy are different enough from that of Ireland to justify a barrier between the races so that the founder effect can insulate a population from background levels of genetic drift.

There is also the claim from, I think a Korean reverend Moon?, that Cain and Abel were paternal twins with different fathers. Abel's father being Adam while Cains being Lucifer.
This is based on the fruit of knowledge, that Eve was tempted with, actually being sex which she later invited Adam to join in on. As a result she became pregnant with paternal twins.

If so, who really knows, this could also result in different species of man besides whoever Cain hooked up with after being banished.

That claim is not from a Korean reverend. Is one of many ancient gnostic interpretations. And is not that far fetched, Is quite an interesting one.
According to Midrashic tradition, Cain and Abel each had twin sisters whom they were to marry. The Midrash states that Abel's promised wife, Aclima, was more beautiful. Since Cain would not consent to this arrangement, Adam suggested seeking God's blessing by means of a sacrifice. Whomever God blessed, would marry Aclima. When God openly rejected Cain's sacrifice, Cain slew his brother in a fit of jealousy and anger.

BUT no where does it mention EVE having sex with LUCIFER. please show me where? They (abel and Cain) had the same biological father.

EDIT LATER: Where does Reverend Moon say this theory of his is located at in the bible?

There is NO bible scripture to support this wild theory of MOON'S. Beware of his false teachings.

The Old Testament is not to taken literally.

That is all.

Thanks for the chuckle…

They missed a few loose ends though.

People are imperfect. They wrote the book, after all. They even invented religion, the tool for mass manipulation.

Not withstanding, I do believe in our spirit and a here after. Just the link is kind of scrambled. Best source for that is to look within, not out at someone else's writings.

I asked on a thread if I were a different race because I have blue eyes. Nope, apparently I am still Homo Sapien. But I am 2.9% Neanderthal. That kind of makes me two races but then I have blue eyes, so now three races, but then I am also a woman, so now four races.

I like most people, a mixed race. We all are.

Then of course is the "Lilith"

From wiki

Lilith Main article: Lilith The text is best known because of its reference to Lilith, and it is the fifth of Ben Sira's responses to King Nebuchadnezzar. It is reproduced here in its entirety: Soon afterward the young son of the king took ill. Said Nebuchadnezzar, "Heal my son. If you don't, I will kill you." Ben Sira immediately sat down and wrote an amulet with the Holy Name, and he inscribed on it the angels in charge of medicine by their names, forms, and images, and by their wings, hands, and feet. Nebuchadnezzar looked at the amulet. "Who are these?" "The angels who are in charge of medicine: Snvi, Snsvi, and Smnglof (in English: Senoy, Sansenoy and Semangelof). While God created Adam, who was alone, He said, 'It is not good for man to be alone' (Genesis 2:18). He also created a woman, from the earth, as He had created Adam himself, and called her Lilith. Adam and Lilith immediately began to fight. She said, 'I will not lie below,' and he said, 'I will not lie beneath you, but only on top. For you are fit only to be in the bottom position, while I am to be the superior one.' Lilith responded, 'We are equal to each other inasmuch as we were both created from the earth.' But they would not listen to one another. When Lilith saw this, she pronounced the Ineffable Name and flew away into the air. Adam stood in prayer before his Creator: 'Sovereign of the universe!' he said, 'the woman you gave me has run away.' At once, the Holy One, blessed be He, sent these three angels to bring her back. "Said the Holy One to Adam, 'If she agrees to come back, what is made is good. If not, she must permit one hundred of her children to die every day.' The angels left God and pursued Lilith, whom they overtook in the midst of the sea, in the mighty waters wherein the Egyptians were destined to drown. They told her God's word, but she did not wish to return. The angels said, 'We shall drown you in the sea.' "'Leave me!' she said. 'I was created only to cause sickness to infants. If the infant is male, I have dominion over him for eight days after his birth, and if female, for twenty days.' "When the angels heard Lilith's words, they insisted she go back. But she swore to them by the name of the living and eternal God: 'Whenever I see you or your names or your forms in an amulet, I will have no power over that infant.' She also agreed to have one hundred of her children die every day. Accordingly, every day one hundred demons perish, and for the same reason, we write the angels names on the amulets of young children. When Lilith sees their names, she remembers her oath, and the child recovers."
