INTRODUCTION:

Everyone who visited this planet, called earth 🌎 has his own biography. I decided to compile the biographies of most biblical characters starting from the first man on earth.

This project is not easy, but someone has to do it. I was thinking of making volumes or at least a sizable book from this project.

THE BIOGRAPHY OF ADAM (Genesis 2:7; 5:1-6):

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 (Genesis 2:7).

The first person on earth was not born by any woman, but was made by God. Adam was not created by the Almighty God, but he was made by the Three in One God. The above mentioned verse from the Bible says, God formed man (i.e. made man). Let's pick it from Genesis chapter one verses 26 and 27:

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.

So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them (Gen. 1:26-27 KJV).

The Bible has it that God Almighty was calling out things into existence from every part of the universe He created. The heaven and Earth were created, came into been from nothing but God's creative imagination. So, only Heaven and Earth were created from nothing.

What is the difference between "create and make"? This action words play vital roles in this discourse. Let's consult dictionary. Webster Dictionary online app for help.

Create [v. t.]: To bring into being; to form out of nothing; to cause to exist.

Create means "coming into existence from nothing, no existed raw materials". That was how the heaven and earth came existence. There were no existed raw materials used formulate Heaven and Earth. The product only existed in the imagination of the Almighty Jehovah, the creator. So, He created them, and they formed His raw materials for other things He imagined to bring into existence.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth (Genesis 1:1).

The next word in our definition is the word "make". it's an action word that tells us the function of the word it describes. Genesis uses the two action words interchangeably as if the mean the same thing. We should consider our definition on our contemporary vocabulary for better understanding.

Make [v t]: Change from one form into another (examples: make water into wine; make lead into gold; make clay into bricks) Webster Dictionary online app.

From this definition, we understand that something is made from existed raw-materials into another end-product.

From the dictionary definition, it is established that the earth and heaven came into existence from absolutely nothing (Gen. 1:1).

Every other thing in existence came from the existed raw materials (Heaven and Earth).

Verse 2 of Genesis 1 says, "the earth was without form and void". From verse 3, the Almighty God, the creator of the universe, began to call out things into existence, and position them where He desires to have them. He also assigned them functions according to His own desires.

When He came to the existence of man, the Almighty Jehovah summoned the supreme council to a round table conference where the decision of the existence of man was made and carried into action.

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 (Genesis 1:26).

Here tells us the decision of the supreme council about the quality of man and the functions of man. Chapter 2:7 alerted us on the practical raw materials used in the formulation of man and how it was done until man became a living-soul.

This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made He him; Male and female created He them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created (Genesis 5:1-2).

Don't be confused on the interchangeable usage of the word 'made' and 'created' in the above scripture. Remember I am using King James Version of 1611 AD. The current Bible versions may put the two action words aright.

Let's see Genesis 5:1-2, there is something I discovered in these two verses:
When God made man, man was made 'male and female' in one single body and a single name was given to them - Adam. That is to say, man was initially made to be a single male and female entity. Having both male reproductive system and female reproductive system at the same time in one body. God blessed them (i.e. two -in-one person) to reproduce according to their kind.

Man was in that nature until he became worried about his nature. He was not happy for his nature at all. He was always feeling lonely seeing other species of animals in the animal kingdom moving in pairs while he moves alone. He was unhappy about such nature.
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

GOD CONSIDERED ADAM

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him (Genesis 2:18).

So, the Almighty Jehovah allow the man to sleep deeply that surgery was done on him, yet he didn't notice it until everything in him that has to do with female system was removed, separated into another (body) entity. Then, God positioned her so that he will see her immediately he wakes up. The female was so fascinatingly designed, in such a way that every eye must capture it. Everything in female's body attracts the eyes. It is not their fault, rather God's design. Whether they cover their skin or not, they remain the most attractive creatures.
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

MAN WAS MADE IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD

What is the image and likeness of God Almighty in man?
Of course, we know that God doesn't have physical body. God is not multi - colored as humans: black, yellow, white, red, etc as human colors are. God is not a female or a male as we are. God is short, long or average. God is not thin, huge, or normal. God's nature is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He said to Moses, "I am what I am". In other words, I am unchangeable changer. God doesn't grow from one stage to another. He remains the same.

How Do We Resemble God?

There are four ways we resembled God:
1. Natural Likeness of God:
Naturally, we resemble God so much. Talk about intelligence, man has the largest brain in the animal kingdom. Man has such creative imagination which can form things that has not being in existence. See what technology is doing in development of wisdom. See what AI is doing in making things easier for living. See technology has done in transportation, translations of businesses and in communication. That's God's intelligence in man.

2. Emotional Likeness of God:
Emotionally, we resemble God. God feels, hears, and sees. God can regret and repent of what He did "And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart"
(Genesis 6:6). God can feel happy, loved, respected, etc.
God can feel accepted, rejected , honored, etc.
So, we feel also as humans.

3. Social Likeness of God:
Socially, we resemble God. The Almighty Jehovah, the creator of the entire universe is so much interested in associating with humans. He always came to the garden to see Adam and Eve. Just to see how they are doing. God is so much interested in chatting with human beings. When He wanted to destroy the then known world, He engaged Noah into a chat
When He wanted to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, He engaged Abraham in chat.
When He wanted to destroy the sons of Eli the priest, He engaged Samuel in a chat, not minding how junior Samuel was then.
Man is a social being. That calls for the creation of so many social media. Social clubs, societies, associations, organizations even religious gatherings are as a result of social Likeness of God in man.

4. Moral Likeness of God:
Morally, we resembled God. Initially, God created man in a sinless nature just as Himself.
Man was made in a holy nature. Reason is that God is holy. Those who will associate with Him must be holy.
Man was in that sinless nature until Satan suggested sin of disobedience to him, and he accepted it. So, man lost the moral likeness of God in him.

That's the aspect of God's image and likeness that man lost. That's why God came down by Himself to seek man and to restore man back to Himself. Jesus Christ died, shed His blood on the cross for whosoever will accept that He died for him. Such a person will be saved from sin.
God considered Adam. God built a woman and brought to Adam. Then Adam called her woman, and said, she was taken from my body. They began to live together from that day as husband and wife.

And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man from the LORD".
And she again bare his brother Abel.
And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground (Genesis 4:1-2).
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

CAIN AND ABEL WERE BORN:

Cain and Abel were the first children born to Adam and Eve. When Cain was born there was a great joy. The celebration was "I have gotten a from the LORD". Later Abel was also born as the second son. In the ancient days, females were regarded in numerology. It might be that female children were born to Adam too. The reason I said that is Cain married and have his own children, where did he get his wife?
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

BOTH CAIN AND ABEL WERE FARMERS

Cain was a tiller of ground. He was into Green Farming such as crops, fruits and vegetables, while Abel was a keeper of sheep. He was also engaged into Livestock Farming. Both of them have very good job.

At the process of time, sacrifice is needed as a must to worship to the God Almighty, the creator of the universe, sustainer of life. Both of brought some presents for sacrifice unto the Lord. Cain's offering was rejected as Abel's offering was accepted. The two worshippers noticed what happened. The senior, Cain took Abel, the younger to excout him to his farm. There and then Cain killed Abel.
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

CAIN WHERE IS ABEL YOUR BROTHER?

The Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient saw what happened and how it happened. He questioned Cain, what he had done. "Cain where is your brother?" Cain said, "I don't know, am I my brother's keeper?" The Almighty Jehovah cursed the ground because of Cain. God set a mark on the forehead of Cain. He made Cain a vagabond for the rest of his life.

Noah lost both sons: Abel died suddenly like that and Cain became a vagabond.

And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: >And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty (930) years: and he died (Genesis 5:4-5).

No matter what happened to Adam and his wife, he didn't allow that to affect him. He continued pushing forward and had many other children born to him both males and females. He later died at a very good old age of 930 years. The Bible didn't record sickness and diseases against him throughout his years.
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

CONCLUSION:

The record of Adam's wife is not seen except that she get birth to her children. No other record about her. Surely, I didn't plan to talk about female Bible characters. I will pick another noble character in the next post.
