ADAM and EVE PICTURES!

Genesis 1:27 "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

Genesis 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. 8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed."

Genesis 2:17 "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

Genesis 2:22 "And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man."

Genesis 3:6 "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."

Genesis 3:16 "Unto the woman [God] said, --in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children --" 17 "And unto Adam he said -- cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of your life; -- thou shalt eat the herb of the field. 19 "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken; for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."

 Genesis 3:26 "Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden, to till the ground from wence he was taken. 27 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the Garden of Eden Cherubims and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life."

Genesis 4:1"And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord. 2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground."

In this painting by an artist named DiPaolo, the creation story in the Bible is honored in its entirety, with concentric circles representing the various firmaments, and the earth in the middle, protected from the sun [which doesn't appear in the account until the 4th 24 hour day in the Holy Book].

God here, as he is speaking the world into existance, has a face similar to Jesus, that glows like the sun, however.

In this traditional painting by Norris, Christ appears in a black or dark robe [like a magician], apparently standing in a fire or burning bush, and pulls a completely formed Eve out of the side of the sleeping Adam.

Norris is not so tied to tradition however, that he cannot see the possiblities in a more modern representation of the naked bodies of Adam and Eve, who seem completely oblivious to their nakedness.

Genesis 2:25 "And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed."

And indeed, why should they be? God makes only good stuff!

Nowadays, photography is often used for art in the place of drawing or painting, but the Adam and Eve theme still persists. Genesis 1:28 "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replentish the earth...."

Clues in Strong's concordance that "Adam" was not the first man.
