I Do hear all of the contexts of creation and understand what they truly mean, but I do still feel like the question is not yet answered?
Adam is proclaimed by a certain race as their founding father, which brings me to a question of what is a gentile to God?
Everything God created stands for a meaning and has a purpose, like Adam take care of the garden, name all thing's and the story goes on, but I feel that as a gentile I lack a meaning and purpose because of the foundation of my creation which remains a mystery that hides my purpose and my meaning.
In God we are all made and given a purpose a name and way of life, and all thing's have a meaning because we know how it was created.
Moses said who shall I say you are to Pharoah?
Who shall I say I am before God as a gentile?.
What purpose shall I bring forth to my God?.
In what meaning way shall I worship and praise him?.
0817880641. You asked, "what is a gentile to God?" When we think of a 'gentile' (or, a non-Jew), we can only use the word after Noah, the Flood, & ultimately his sons as they & their descendants departed & inhabited the 'new world' (post-Flood). Before Noah, there were no Jews or Israel - but man from the very beginning began to depart from worshiping the true God. So when you look at the generations from Shem (Noah's son, through whom God called out His special people), in Genesis 11:10-26, we see that God had a specific plan to bring about blessing first to Israel & then to the gentiles. Even though it might seem that the gentile was unimportant to God, because they did not receive His Favor, His Laws, & His Presence, gentiles were never far from God's thoughts, even using them to sometimes bless or chastise His people.
Till the coming of Jesus, His Sacrifice for all sinners (Jew & Gentile alike: Romans 10:12, "For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him"), the gentile had little knowledge or participation in the Grace of God. Therefore, gentiles, as the Jew, are from the one Adam onto Noah & his sons - all are precious to Him & all will fulfill His Plan for the world.
You have questioned your position & purpose as a gentile before God. The Apostle Paul reminds us in Romans 9:25,26, "As he saith also in Osee (Hosea), I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God" ( Hosea 2:23). This is speaking about us, to us. If you as a gentile rejected God's Call on your life to salvation & blessing, then you would be in the same boat as the Jew, who received the blessings, but still rejecting God's Grace in His Son. "There is no difference". You are more precious to God if you have called upon Him.
0817880641 God (created) male AND female in ( Gen. 1:26-28) The word (created) is #1254; it means (absolutely) to create. God (formed) Adam of the dust of the ground in ( Gen. 2:7) The word (formed) is #3335; it means (through the squeezing into shape) to mold into a form; especially as a potter. The created man was on day six. The man God formed, (Adam) was after God had rested the 7th day. As you can see from the true meanings of the two words, and from the time period that they were (created) and/or (formed) they are very different. Also if we look at ( Gen. 2:5) This is also after God rested the 7th day, it tells us "and there ((was not a man)) to till the ground" then ( Gen. 2:7) is when God (formed) Adam of the dust of the ground. Clearly if we take the Word of God as it is written the (formed) man was after the 7th day of rest. Therefore the male AND female (created) on the 6th day it seems would be all the other races of the earth. The man (Adam) that was (formed) of the dust of the ground was the bloodline that Jesus Christ would come through. This is taking the Words of the LORD as meaning what it says it means, and when it says it. There were already any people on the earth when Adam was (formed) as a potter. Truth matters. This should have answered your question. Blessings.
From the creation of Adam until the flood there were 1656 years based on the Masoretic text or 2256 years based on the Septuagint. Only 6 books in Genesis so there is so much that we have not been told. When the flood came all that was left were eight people, Gen. 7:13,23 and they were descendants of Adam and Eve, so all mankind today came from Adam and Eve, all the rest of the people were destroyed in the flood.
Tradition places Adam and Eve as the male and female on day six and Chapter 2 is a more in-depth description of day six. With an open mind to hear, and an honest deep study of Genesis 1 and 2 you may find the purpose of the first Adam was not to populate the world but was the figure of Him that was to come, Jesus. If you study this take note of the words earth and field will help.
When God formed Adam from the dust of the ground, He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and Adam became a living soul, God did not give Adam a soul. 1 Cor. 15:47, earthy means temporal, time-based, looks like mortal, we are appointed to die Heb. 9:27.
All mankind today are descendants of Adam and Eve the same blood, Acts 17:26, there is one flesh of mankind, 1 Cor. 15:39. If there were people before Adam and Eve this earth has only been created once, the word replenish, means fill not fill again.
Nonetheless, it will not change we only can obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, what the Bible is about.
The Bible does not contradict itself; man does. Speculations on things we have not been told create confusion and division, Satan's favorite tools.
The simple answer is that He didn't create any other human beings as He did with Adam and Eve and of course Christ. He did create the souls of all men (I'll let you look up the verse where He states all the souls are mine). The oftentimes asked question as to where Cain got his wife would of course be answered as one of Adam's daughters not mentioned or one of his sisters as that sort of thing would have to occur with the first few generations of man; outlawed later. Through procreation God brings about the miracle of life; thus "replenishing the earth".
It appears from Genesis 6 that there were illegitamate relationships between angels and men giving the giants or "men of renown" which meant that only Noah was "pure in his generations" or genetically not messed up. Such offspring that the whole world was contaminated with would be unredeemable not being purely men genetically.
My question is When did God create other human beings?
During the 7 Day's circle or after the 7 Day's circle?
Second question
We all know of the how part of Adam and Eve and am far more interested in the how part of other people?
Adam comes from a dust, Eve from the ribs of Adam, Jesus Christ was born from the virgin Mary.
How did God create other human beings?

I need to know how so that we can find the Why?
