This next section of scripture begins in the 5th chapter of Genesis and the topic is the genealogy of Adam through His righteous son Seth
I start off by saying that I can not see any reason to doubt the word of God. God claims to have created everything, and that in itself tells me that He is smart. So smart that I believe that He may even be smart enough to get his story onto paper. Then God claims to be the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The verses that follow are part of Genesis from the 5th chapter. and the topic is the genealogy of Adam through His righteous son Seth
It's part of His story, part of The Truth
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
