Care to share any historical reference to such and idea?
The land of Nod east of eden where Cain goes to find a wife for example. Iirc there are other ancient sources Michael Heiser discusses indicating that Eden wasn't the whole world, just a portion of it that Yahweh claimed as his own. Even reading the boundaries it's clear Eden wasn't all creation. Adam and Eve were God's chosen people but it doesn't say anywhere he didn't choose from among many
Interesting. Wait. What? My understanding was that God created Adam (man) and then decided to give him a companion from his rib (women). If other women already existed then why would God have need to create a women?
Double wait. What? So are you saying that Adam and Eve were not the beginning of the human race? So what is the real origin story? Who created all these other folks? Never heard any mention of them. What happened to their decendents? That makes no sense.
Secondly, if Yehaweh only claimed Eden as his own then exactly WHO claimed ownership of the rest of the planet?
Listen to some of Dr Michael Heisers stuff. I'll try to find a good link tomorrow to start you off. It's complicated and compelling at the same time but he was a Biblical scholar and Christian. I say was, he passed in 2018 of Pancreatic cancer
Look forward to the discussion. So you know, my family helped found the Duke School of Divinity. I have posed many of my questions to these Scholars for decades. I also invested months questioning Cardinals at the Vatican. So far, it remains a mystery.
