Were Adam and eave black or white?

Answer 1

Adam and Eve were white, and, The Bible tells us. Gen 2:7 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. The word "man" in Hebrew is aw-dawm' which means ruddy and comes from the root word aw-dam' which means to blush or to show blood in the face of which the Caucasians are the race which blushes. God created all of the different races, they did not all come from Adam. In Genesis chapter 2, there is a parable in where, the trees in the garden are symbolic for people. And, Ezekiel 31 explains that parable. Gen 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. Gen 2:9 And out of the ground made Jehovah God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; And here we have the trees in the garden of Eden (garden of God) which, symbolize people. Eze 31:3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches

Eze 31:8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the fir-trees were not like its boughs, and the plane-trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like unto it in its beauty.

Eze 31:9 I made it fair by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it. Trees are used to symbolize people all through the Bible. Remember, Jesus himself said, "I am the vine, you are the branches, and also, speaking of people, he said: Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. Now, as for Adam and his line being white, the Bible tells us even more: This is David before he was king. He was also of a "ruddy" complexion 1Sa 16:12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look upon. And Jehovah said, Arise, anoint him; for this is he. And more:

Son 5:10 My beloved is white and ruddy, The chiefest among ten thousand. And those of Zion (Jerusalem) were white Lam 4:7 Her nobles were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk; They were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was as of sapphire. There are many places in the Bible that tell that Adam and his line were white. And, since the line to Jesus was kept pure within Israel's and Adam's blood line, he would be white also. Adam was the beginning of the Caucasians only. All of the other races were in the garden of Eden, and, Adam was placed there to look after them: Gen 2:15 And Jehovah God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. The garden of Eden was people. You just have to read it in the Hebrew, and, understand that God speaks in parables, even back then. The Bible is an account of Jesus and his lineage only. It is NOT a history book of the world. And, if you're wondering how all of the races got past the flood, remember, God told Noah to bring 2 of ALL life on the boat. Gen 6:19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. Notice it says "EVERY" living thing. That would include the other races which God made also. Have you ever wondered where Cain got his wife from, or, who he was afraid of when he was sent away after killing Abel? It doesn't say, because, it's wrapped in a parable. Most speculate that it was his sister he married, which, is not the case. He went away to the East, and, found a wife from one of the other races which God made. Who was he afraid of below? Gen 4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the ground; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth; and it will come to pass, that whosoever findeth me will slay me. Who was his wife, and, who did he build a city for? Gen 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

Gen 4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. There were other people on the earth which God made. That is who Cain married, who he built a city for, and, who he was afraid of. Man has speculated how all of these things came about, and, most have gotten them wrong. The trees in the garden of Eden were symbolic for people, and, Adam who was a type of Christ (Rom 5:14) was to look over, and, to cultivate those people.

Answer 2

They were no race other than 'human'. According to the Jewish religion all the people of the Earth are descended equally from them.

Also, the Christian Greek Scriptures support this fact. Acts 17:26 tells us: ". . . From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth. . ."(NIV)

The Bible gives us no idea what 'color' Adam and Eve were. ALL humans are various shades of 'earth-tones', from light beige to deep brown, and Adam and Eve could have been any of a rainbow of hues. They were given the ability to produce a variety of people(Genesis 1:28/Genesis 3:20) with a variety of skin tones, but Adam and Eve's color is never mentioned. Later, Noah's sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth(Genesis 5:32) continued to produce all the races on earth(Shem-Asian/Ham-African/Japheth-European).
Scientifically speaking a literal Adam and Eve as they appear in the Bible never existed. But let's say they did, they certainly would not have been white.

Answer 3

Whom, then, are the descendants of Adam and Eve? The evidence strongly indicates that it is the white race. The word "Adam" in the Hebrew is "aw-dam'", which means "to show blood (in the face), i.e. flush or turn rosy". See for yourself in Strong's Hebrew Lexicon.

This is also supported by the fact that the people primarily concerned with the "traditions of Abraham" over the course of modern history have almost exclusively been the white peoples (and "hybrids" or mongrels with significant white ancestry...eg, Arabs). For thousands of years, blacks and asians were isolated in Africa and the Far East and overwhelmingly unconcerned or unaware of the traditions of Adam, Abraham, and their descendants -- with the exception of the last few hundred years when white missionaries spread Christianity among blacks and asians.

Answer 4

In His prayer to His Father in heaven, Jesus [the Creator God of the Old Testament; the LORD and the great I AM - John 1:3] reveals to us:

"...'Thy Word [the Bible] IS TRUTH.'" (John 17:17)

So it is, then, that we can all "know" some things about Adam and Eve by "reading the Scriptures" [the TRUTH] and simply "BELIEVING" what it says.

And the Truth is, that the Scriptures don't say that they were "white." The "Holy Spirit-inspired" Scripture says:

"And said God, 'Let US make MANKIND in OURimage...'" (Gen.1:26 LIT Literal Bible w/Strong's Definitions)

The "inspired" Word for "mankind" in this passage is " 'adam" [pronounced: aw-dawm']. Which Strong's definitions defines as RUDDY... which means RED!

This makes further sense when taken with the "inspired" passage in Genesis 2:7, where we're informed that:

"And formed Yahweh God - the man{out of} DUST FROM THE GROUND..." (LIT).

Strong's definitions reveals that "{out of} dust" means: "DUST (as powdered or gray); hence CLAY, EARTH, MUD...".

Have you ever seen the "red clay" of the earth? From the Scriptures, then, "we can know" [if we can allow ourselves to believe what they say] that the appearance of the two people created by God [one male and one female from whom sprang the rest of the human race] were of a "reddish" or "ruddy" hue.

Answer 5

Science indicates that pale skins were a genetic mutation that occurred during the past 10,000 years. Prior to that the skin colour was darker as people originated in Africa. The mutation likely occurred in Europe during one of the ice ages when the breeding human population was reduced to a very limited number of individuals, this led to the rapid spread of the light skin colour to the whole population. Other mutations that occurred during he same time were blue eyes and the ability to drink cows milk.As far as any relation to the mythical Adam and Eve, they did not exist. Any primitive human ancestors were dark skinned.

Answer 6

Though Adam (name means 'red clay') is not defined by color/race, the genealogy of Jesus in Luke 3 shows He was of the clan of Shem (a Semite like Jews and Arabs today) said to be the father of many Caucasian peoples of the Mesopotamian area at the time. Since Adam and Eve are the first parents of all humankind, the seed within them in time - via Noah's 3 sons assuredly - would bring forth all races through them. Some biblical students say Nimrod from the clan of Ham was the first black man with great stature and warrior skills.

Most all would agree Jesus was born a Jew - of the Tribe of Judah. Today's Jews like those originally are shades of white-light tan-ruddy skinned peoples. In Luke's genealogy for Jesus we see

Luke 3:34-38New King James Version (NKJV) the son of Judah (verse 33) ...34 the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, 35 the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah, 36 the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, 37 the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Cainan, 38 the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

Answer 7

The bible does not say anything about their color.

Answer 8

They were both white adults.

Answer 9

We don't know. Most likely they weren't .
