August 19- Further Bible Research Brings New Information to Light

A few days ago, I posted about interpreting the bible and the many ways a person can interpret it to best suit their beliefs. I had stated that God created only men before Adam and Eve because the bibles that I was brought up with only stated, "In His image, He created man. In the image of God He created them.". Well, I just got finished reading this new bible I had gotten a few years back which is now the New King James version with easier to understand translations. In it, the very same passage is also written exactly as before with one added piece,"both male and female He created them." Wait a minute, I was taught that Adam and Eve were the first people on Earth, but I questioned it even then coming to find out from the old bibles that Eve was the first woman on Earth with Adam not being the first man. Now, with all the talk of homosexuality being a sin according to most religions being not so much a sin due to the idea that maybe Adam was not the first man on Earth and the old bible clearly stating that Eve was the first woman on Earth, it seems the people who made the New King James version had to rewrite the very beginning to include that women and men were created before Adam and Eve so that now no one can argue that men were created together before a woman even came into the picture.
Of course, there still are some who believe Adam and Eve were the first and only people God created on Earth. To these people, I am not going to force what I believe on them, but if anyone were to take a further look at the story of Cain and Able, then this is proven to be a lie. They were the sons of Adam and Eve, and no mention of daughters from them ever comes to light. Yet, when Cain slew Able and was cast out of his land, he met his wife in another land. How could this be? Adam and Eve were the first and only people on Earth that God created right? They only had sons and no daughters if I understand correctly. You can stop me whenever I am wrong. So where did this other woman come from then? With these questions I am sure will come more controversy and then the bible will be re-written yet again to suit the religions of the world's purpose as it has been done so many times to try and say homosexuality and bisexuality is an immoral sin.
Let's just face facts and realize that the bible is a lie. It was written by men, edited by men, and reworded to fit each religions purpose by men. They say that the bible is truth because it's "the word of God.", but if that is the case then why whenever a new controversy springs up about anything that threatens the teachings of each religion, it suddenly comes out to where there is a newer translation with whatever changes that needed to be made to once again calm the waters and get people believing those religions once more? It's not the word of God plain and simple. It's the word of man trying to force their religion on others. I don't doubt that maybe there was something written by the men of the bible so long ago that was the actual events that happened before Jesus and after, but those transcripts are forever lost through mans changing it over the years to better suit their own design. Who today truly knows the truths of those times? No one does which is why I say again that whatever you believe may you also keep the faith of that belief strong because without faith in any belief, the belief dies.
As I say at the end of every post, take care and be safe always everyone.
