Man in Adam at the Beginning !

[savedbymercy]

Man in Adam before he sinned, and yet innocent, was not fit to enter into the Kingdom, that God prepared for them [His Elect] that Love Him James 2:5

5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

This Kingdom was prepared for them before the Foundation Matt 25:34

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

You see, at the time in the beginning, when the elect stood in Adam, they did not Love God, that was evidenced by the yielding to temptation and consequent disobedience to God's commandment ! Jesus said The first and greatest commandment is this Matt 22:36-38

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

Adam was not there yet, and consequently neither were the elect in him !

Adam only Represented God's Chosen People !



Lk 3:38

Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

Adam was a Son of God at Creation, and was Created for the propagation of the Godly Seed Mal 2:15

And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

The word godly here is the same word for God Elohym, The Seed of God. 1 Jn 3:9

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

A seed that shall be born of God !

If we recall it is through Adam unto Seth to his Son that men began to call upon the Name of the Lord Gen 4:25-26

25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the Lord.

Now this is what always characterized the Godly Seed, they would call upon the name of the Lord !

Lets trace this to see if it is True ! Notice the Patriarch Abraham Gen 12:8

And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.

Now if you look at the genealogy of Christ from Luke, you will see Adam, Seth, Enos, and Abraham Lk 3:34,38

Next Gen 26:25

And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well.

Joel 2:32

32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

1 Cor 1:2

Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:

With this principle in mind we can trace the Godly Seed, the Church of Christ all the way back to Adam !

This is one way to establish who it was that Adam Represented, not all men without exception, but the Elect Line of the Godly Seed. Remember also what scripture says this Gen 6:2

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

These would be from Adam, Seth, Enos and when men began to call upon the name of the Lord, the daughters of men are the reprobated descendants of cain!

The point is this, that there was a division upon men even this early in world history, because God always had a set apart people, which began with Adam !

 

[Winman]

You seem to have forgotten that everyone was killed in the flood and all men on the earth now are descended from Noah. So all men are from the same seed.

Noah was descended from Adam. The connection is mead here Lk 3:36-38

36 Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech,

37 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan,

38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

Noah is but a extension of the Elect Seed of Adam !

More on Adam being for the Elect !



That Adam stood only for the Elect of Mankind, the People of God, and not all men without exception is seen from the fact that only the Chosen People of Israel were given the creation Sabbath as a Day of rest ! Ex 20:8-11

8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Which of course finds its foundation in the context of the creation Gen 2:1-3

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Now, if all men were created in Adam at creation, then why did he not give the Sabbath commandment to all people groups in the World, for only one people was shown this ! 147:19-20

19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.

20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the Lord.

The sabbath is one of those statues He showed to Israel only ! Neh 9:14

And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:

The other nations were ignorant to this statue of the sabbath because for the most part they represented the non elect, the rejected people !
