Are they saved? The bible doesnt say.Huh I never thought of that, another question to ponder on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bible doesnt say. That is a great question. Since "The Law" had not been given, they were pre-law. They were kicked out of the Garden of Eden due to the sin of Adam, and thus no longer allowed in Gods' paradise. Because salvation is by Grace or Law (with the Law being made inconsequential through the Blood of Christ) and neither were available at the time of Adam and Eve, I imagine it would be up to God to allow Adam and Eve into Heaven. When I get to Heaven, I'll be sure to look them up! If they are not in Heaven, then someone else can look them up! lol! @Hall7 - I realize the definition of the word "race" according to the dictionary/wikipedia. But as Qnts2 stated, I don't think the separation of differing peoples by using the word "race" is a Biblical concept any more than denomination is. I think it is a man-made idea entirely. (Forgive me if this sounds rude. I really do not mean it that way) Edited January 30, 2014 by WebFisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that they would have the same outcome as all the people before the death and resurrection of Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black, White, Chinese, Aboriginy, Hindu etc., people look extremely different from different regions. I guess Adam and Eve must've possessed the jeans of all the races we see in the world today? Thoughts? The racial differences that so emphasize are really very minor, the amount of fatty tissue around the eye and the amount of one chemical in the skin - things we all posses. In fact it something like 0.2% of our genetic code. All Adam and Eve had to be was in the middle of all these differences, and genetically they could have produced them all. As for where the 'races' came from - well the reality is that there si only one race, the human race, we are all one big family. The groupings that we see today are merely a result of how the scattering of the people at the tower of Babel focused certain genetic traits in certain locations.

So when God says the that the seed of the women will crush the head of Satan, and then when Eve gives birth to her first born son and she praises God by saying, 'I have got the man from the Lord' - none of that is evidence of faith?

King Saul once professed faith too. Was he saved? Thing is, the bible doesnt say whether or not they were forgiven for their sins, as it does Abraham etc in hebrews 11.

When it comes to people there is only one race, the human race. Maybe you haven't read the scriptures very well but God never made more than one race. When he changed body appearance and mixed up the language to keep people apart He knew it would work because we are the ones that make the division, it is a development in our own minds. There are ethnic groups, if you so choose to divide people, but only one race here on this planet when it comes to human kind. Perhaps you would like to reconsider your choice of words.
