Were Adam and Eve the first humans?
An essay donated by Rev. Jim Persinger
I contend that Adam and Eve were not the first humans on Earth as believed by...well virtually ever Christian and Jew on the planet. Humans were created on the sixth day, God rested on the seventh and created Adam and Eve later.The reason that the other humans are only vaguely referred to is because the Old Testament, especially Genesis was written for the purpose of establishing God as the creator and supreme being and to provide a genealogy, starting with Adam and Eve, leading up to the birth of Christ. The other humans are simply not important to the story. They are, however, mentioned vaguely as I am about to prove.
Genesis 1:24-28:
 | And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. |
| And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. |
| And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. |
| So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. |
| And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 1,2 |
Genesis 2:8-9:
| And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. |
| And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. |
Genesis 2:15:
| And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. |
Genesis 2:18-20:
| And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. |
| And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. |
| And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field;but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. |
- Humans were created on the sixth day and told to multiply and replenish the earth and to have dominion over the whole earth but Adam and Eve were placed in the Garden of Eden. That was to be their home.
- Verses Gen 1:27 -28 says that God created man and woman and told them to multiply. In contrast, verses Gen 2:18 - 20 gives a different account. According to this, Adam was originally meant to be alone. It wasn't until after creating all the animals for Adam to see and name that God created Eve. (BTW, it says he named them, not that he alone had dominion over them, or that he had dominion over them at all. Adam's world was a garden, he had no need for dominion over the world's animal population.) The reason God re-created all the animals of the world for Adam was to find him a help meet.
- In verses Gen 1:24 - 28 it states that man was created after the animals. Verses Gen 2:18 - 20 seem to be a direct contradiction unless you realize were reading about two different times, places and people(s).
Genesis 1:31:
| And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. |
Genesis 2:1-4:
| Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. |
| And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventhday from all his work which he had made. |
| And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. |
| These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, |
Genesis 2:5-7:
| And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. |
| But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. |
| 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. |
Genesis 4:13-15:
| And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. |
| Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. |
| And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. |
Genesis 4:16-18:
| And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. |
| And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: F30 and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. |
| And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. |
Words for "man" in Genesis:
In Genesis, two different words are translated as "man". (Actually three, but the other usually refers generically to a child or youth)One being 'iysh {eesh}, Strong's # 0376
Outline of Biblical Usage
1) man
a) man, male (in contrast to woman, female)
b) husband
c) human being, person (in contrast to God)
d) servant
e) mankind
f) champion
g) great man
2) whosoever
3) each (adjective)
The other is 'adam {aw-dawm'}which is the same word as the name Adam
'adam {aw-dawm'} Strong's # 0120
Outline of Biblical Usage
1) man, mankind
a) man, human being
b) man, mankind (much more frequently intended sense in OT)
c) Adam, first man
d) city in Jordan valley
Easton's Bible Dictionary defines Man (as used in Genesis) as:
- Heb. 'Adam, used as the proper name of the first man. The name is derived from a word meaning "to be red," and thus the first man was called Adam because he was formed from the red earth. It is also the generic name of the human race. Its equivalents are the Latin homo and the Greek anthropos. It denotes also man in opposition to woman.
- Heb. 'ish, like the Latin vir and Greek aner, denotes properly a man in opposition to a woman, a husband; man with reference to excellent mental qualities.
The name Adam and the word "man" mean the same thing. Adam is the name of the first "man" mentioned by name. The word "man" is used when speaking about mankind in general or as a group. Only when talking about Adam personally is his name used.
The humans of today is descendants of both Adam and Eve and the other human race (the flood of Noa God made sure few few few 8 Noas family the only pure DNA one got saved, descendants from Adam and Eve bloodline, witch we humans and humanity today come from, most of the Nephilms and other unbiblically evils were destroyed in the flood of Noa). Cain married into the other race and so did Adam's other descendants. Noah's family was likely of mixed race and since we're descended from them, we are as well.
This research shows a direct connection between scientific data and biblical history. One does not have to contradict the other...they compliment each other. Instead of scientists stating the Bible is wrong and the church dismissing science, we should examine the evidence presented here and agree that both are right.
This still will have to apply (only things excluded is the Nephilims, not all giants, they look like us today to 99,9 percent etc, the human offspring of the human girls that sleept with fallen angels before and after the flood of Noa), also excluded are Reptilians and Shapeshifters most likely:
(The flood of Noa God made sure few few few 8 Noas family the only pure DNA one got saved, descendants from Adam and Eve bloodline, witch we humans and humanity today come from, most of the Nephilms and other unbiblically evils were destroyed in the flood of Noa):
And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living."

"
Romans 5:12-21New King James Version (NKJV)
Death in Adam, Life in Christ
12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13 (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. 15 But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. 16 And the gift is not likethat which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resultedin condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. 17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Da vinci code unbiblically evils, stay away from all unbiblically evils.
Another theory, theory 2 is this one:
http://www.gotquestions.org/incest-in-the-Bible.html
God allowed Lot incest against his will with his daughters why see:
Lot and his Daughters
30Lot went up from Zoar, and stayed in the mountains, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to stay in Zoar; and he stayed in a cave, he and his two daughters. 31Then the firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of the earth(Evils of the World and proberly gay homo unbiblically living etc and Sodom and Gnomorra were also previously destroyed and all men killed there, because they were so unbiblically evil in unrepented state). 32"Come, let us make our father drink wine, and let us lie with him that we may preserve our family through our father."…
http://biblehub.com/genesis/19-31.htm
But this is a rare exception, and other things with half sister etc on other Biblically cases.
Its not the norm actually God forbidden incest by Law of Moses. Some argue this with adam and eve happend before the law were written... Well God is the same yester day and today and forever, so he also had his laws and so on before it were put down for humans in the Bible, Gods word, he still were the same:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Lev+18%3A6-Lev+18%3A18&version=NASB;NLT;NKJV;KJV
To claim God made incest with whole humanity I think is to pervert the gospel teaching unbiblically evils and saying God did something he actually despices.
This about pure genes........ What kind of a bunch are you people, common reason none wants to in right mind of state wants to have sex with his own sister or half sister or any close, even if God allowed it in some few exceptions... But still those few exception allowed under very diffrent situatuions, give no Biblically evidence Cain sleept with his sister or half sister that is perverted unbiblically evils and false doctrine to state or even suggest that....
Trinity Yahweh, God has 0 limitation and is not religious, and is not a perverted incest creator of humanity, I rather call it blashpheme God to even suggest mankind were created in such disquasting ways, theory 1 above is the Biblically true one, all Biblically evidence suggest that. And we also know scientificly cave men existed and humans looking close to apes, cave men, we are not created from apes, but there is alot more to it, then only adam and Eve, they were created first in Gods Eden, but not the first created humans in World, Bible, Gods word, also proves this, read theory 1 above.
There of I personally find this theory with incest by Adam and Eves Children, were off, and not Biblically true, I believe this theory many hold dear is false:
I also believe its false to say Cain married his sister or some near to him implying something like that...:
http://www.gotquestions.org/incest-in-the-Bible.html
And:
http://www.gotquestions.org/Cains-wife.html
I do however strongely believe and know Lot were a very Biblically and rightouss man, give up his daughters he did try to do, in order to protect his visitors who came to visit him.
I do not agree bashing Lot here or calling that action evil, Lot had not much choice, it were either give up his daughters or the visitors getting raped by Homo men many of them harmed etc:
http://www.gotquestions.org/Lots-daughters.html
Lot had nothing else to offer, I do not think he meant them to getting gangraped.... More like you can take my daughters and do what you find pleasing, instead of rape my male guests... Trinity Yahweh, God saw this as a good rightous act!!!, as Lot protected his male Guest who really were Gods angels, at any or all cost!!! Including sacrifise his own daughters or try to, does that not ring a bell with Abraham God asked him to sacrifise his own son, to see and test him, if he really obeyed him, God, so much so he would even not spare his own begotten Son Isaac... See http://biblehub.com/nasb/genesis/22.htm:
God Trinity Yahweh, test our faith like this, to see if we choose to spare anything before him, or completely surrender and give it all and all people close, give them up to obey the Lord of true Bible, Gods Word, Trinity Yahweh, God etc. Same did Lot he gave up all to protect his Guests Gods angels, even his daughters, God saw this as a very rightouss act, and of course God stops it so it never goes that far, its a test of obedience and faith for Trinity Yahweh, God, so who are you gotquastion to bash Lot an approved Saint of Trinity Yahweh, God, last time I checked nothing shows you are approved in Gods eyes as Lot were, so repent, backevil talking him online, http://www.gotquestions.org/Lots-daughters.html , without any Biblically sound support just Wordly opinions, its always exist a deeper side why Trinity Yahweh, God and his Saints do things they do when Biblically study harder etc you see it, ask Holy Spirit, for help also, and Biblically test the Spirits, and daily live in Biblically daily and daily repentive state in love For Christ, applies for us all.

"New American Standard Bible
The Doom of Sodom
1Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening as Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. 2And he said, “Now behold, my lords, please turn aside into your servant’s house, and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way.” They said however, “No, but we shall spend the night in the square.” 3Yet he urged them strongly, so they turned aside to him and entered his house; and he prepared a feast for them, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. 4Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter; 5and they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them.” 6But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him,7and said, “Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly. 8“Now behold, I have two daughters who have not had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the shelter of my roof.” 9But they said, “Stand aside.” Furthermore, they said, “This one came in as an alien, and already he is acting like a judge; now we will treat you worse than them.” So they pressed hard against Lot and came near to break the door. 10But the men reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. 11They struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the doorway.
12Then the two men said to Lot, “Whom else have you here? A son-in-law, and your sons, and your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place; 13for we are about to destroy this place, because their outcry has become so great before the LORD that the LORD has sent us to destroy it.” 14Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, and said, “Up, get out of this place, for the LORD will destroy the city.” But he appeared to his sons-in-law to be jesting.
15When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city.” 16But he hesitated. So the men seized his hand and the hand of his wife and the hands of his two daughters, for the compassion of the LORD was upon him; and they brought him out, and put him outside the city. 17When they had brought them outside, one said, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you, and do not stay anywhere in the valley; escape to the mountains, or you will be swept away.” 18But Lot said to them, “Oh no, my lords! 19“Now behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your lovingkindness, which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, for the disaster will overtake me and I will die; 20now behold, this town is near enough to flee to, and it is small. Please, let me escape there (is it not small?) that my life may be saved.” 21He said to him, “Behold, I grant you this request also, not to overthrow the town of which you have spoken. 22“Hurry, escape there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” Therefore the name of the town was called Zoar.
23The sun had risen over the earth when Lot came to Zoar. 24Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven, 25and He overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. 26But his wife, from behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
27Now Abraham arose early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before the LORD; 28and he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the valley, and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land ascended like the smoke of a furnace.
29Thus it came about, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.
Lot Is Debased
30Lot went up from Zoar, and stayed in the mountains, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to stay in Zoar; and he stayed in a cave, he and his two daughters. 31Then the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of the earth. 32“Come, let us make our father drink wine, and let us lie with him that we may preserve our family through our father.” 33So they made their father drink wine that night, and the firstborn went in and lay with her father; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose. 34On the following day, the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father; let us make him drink wine tonight also; then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve our family through our father.” 35So they made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger arose and lay with him; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose. 36Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father. 37The firstborn bore a son, and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day. 38As for the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi; he is the father of the sons of Ammon to this day.

http://biblehub.com/nasb/genesis/19.htm
Personally I would not give up my daughters, but Lot had his reasons, his actions were not evil, he is approved by Trinity Yahweh, God as rightouss, its very dangerous to bash a man like that gotquastions so in that I hope you repent, one thing if you have Biblically support, but in this you only have your opinions.
Sometimes God works and do things in his vessles we do not completely understand.
I also love Lot alot, he were very rightouss obeying God his will and Gods all laws and commands and commandments more then one can say of most today claiming to be "Christians".

Inbreeding after the flood?
Bible question: Questions and Answers
Noah's children did not marry each other - and his granddaughter married their cousins.
Question: If only Noah's family survived the Flood, there was no inbreeding after that? (ET)
Noah's sons had their wives with on the ark, and when their children had children with each other, so it was therefore of cousin marriages, and it has never been regarded as incest.

(The flood of Noa God made sure few few few 8 Noas family the only pure DNA one got saved, descendants from Adam and Eve bloodline, witch we humans and humanity today come from, most of the Nephilms and other unbiblically evils were destroyed in the flood of Noa).
Lilith / Lillith is meantioned in Bible, but go for no unbiblically sources outside Bible, Gods word, what Christ says about unbiblically sources books of men outside Bible, Gods word. Adam had his wife Eve, and thats it according to Bible, Gods Word.
The Hebrew term lilith or lilit (translated as "night creatures", "night monster", "night hag", or "screech owl") first occurs in Isaiah 34:14
"Lilit occupy his home, sulfur is spread over the place where he lived." Job 18:15 (Bible 2000)
This below about Lilit is not Biblically founded in Bible, Gods Word, but more of rumor or myth, not to take too serious:
"Bible question: Questions and Answers
In art, Lilith has been depicted as a serpent with a woman's face, and in later jew traditionally produced her as evil, winged and with long hair - mistress of the female winged demons.
Question: Lilith - she was an angel or demon before Eve? How does that work really. Have heard various versions that she and Adam had sons and daughters before Eve's time? Grateful for any kind of explanation. (GH)
Lilith or Lilit (spelling may vary), is the name of a night demon (cf. the Hebrew word for the night, lájil orLajla) in the jew mythology, the most fascinating and frightening of all. Probably she had originated in Mesopotamian (Babylonian and Sumerian) demonology and was akin to Ishtar. Sometimes it was Lilit male, sometimes female gender, and was originally thought to be a storm demon. In the Old Testament mentions her only twice, in Job 18:15 and Isaiah 34:14, where she is described as a devastating desert demon. In later Jewish writings portrayed her as a demon with female face, long hair and wings - a pleasant woman who went in search of their prey at night, the archetype of the vampire.
The connection between Lilith, Adam's creation story is much more recent than the Bible, and derives from the medieval work "Ben SIRA alphabet" (this is not at all a story from the time when the Bible was compiled). It says Lilit have been the first woman God created the earth, while Adam, long before Eve was created.
Because she was created from the earth, just like Adam, she became proud and refused to lie under him when they had intercourse. It was a crime against God's call for them to be fruitful and multiply, because she did not become pregnant. (However, there are some traditions say she was pregnant but that their children became demons.) When Adam demanded that she should be his submissive, she pronounced the holy name, and flew away, away from her husband.
Adam complained to God who sent three angels who would get Lilith to its senses. They found her beside the Red Sea, where she had sex with fallen angels and became pregnant and gave birth to 100 Demons on the day. The angels told her that if she did not return to Adam, God would punish her by taking from her all her children. She refused to return to her husband but promised not to make the children of Adam ill of the three angels' names - Sanvi, Sansanvi and Semangelaf - written near them.
God then created Eve from Adam's body as a replacement for Lilith. (Some stories say that Adam himself was trying to make a woman but the result was so awful that God destroyed it before he gave it life.)
According to the sagas was Lilith immortal because she is not the tree of knowledge of good and evil.And because God took from her her children, she was completely fixated on children and sought revenge on God by hurting babies and women who were about to give birth. She could take the boys before they were seven days old and girls until they were 20 days. But the legend also said that the three angels sent to fetch her at the Red Sea had forced her to swear that whenever she saw their names or pictures on the amulets she would leave the children and mothers in peace. The consequence was that in many cultures even into the 1700s protected mothers and newborns with amulets in the bedroom.
In art, Lilith has been depicted as a serpent with a woman's face, and in later jew traditionally produced her as evil, winged and with long hair - mistress of the female winged demons. In medieval Jewish Kabbalah (the secret traditions among others experimented with a great name, voice and literal symbolism) she is regarded as the evil queen. In the Swedish folklore, it was from Adam and Lilit which supernatural - and often more or less sinister - beings who Skogsrå and elves descended.
There were many stories about the evil Lilith. Among other things, told the prophet Elijah met her on the road and asked her where she was going, 'You wicked, evil spirit. " She replied that she was on the way to a woman in childbirth to suck the marrow out of the newborn baby's legs. Elijah was preventing her from there in the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel. She said that if her name repeated or written down, she and her minions lose its power. Quite willingly, she stated 15 names, and Elijah implored her by Yahweh, at the sacred number 613, by Abraham, the holy tabernacle and seraphim, not to approach the woman and the child.
She also appears in Goethe's "Faust", where she is a demonic seductress in valborgsmässonatten.Mephistopheles warns Faust to her dangerousness.
The modern feminist movement has some odd reason have taken this evil creature symbolic figure of the female gender ...

I make peace, and create evil; peace between God and men is made by Christ, who is God over all; spiritual peace of conscience comes from God, through Christ, by the Spirit; eternal glory and happiness is of God, which saints enter into at death; peace among the saints themselves here, and with the men of the world; peace in churches, and in the world, God is the author of, even of all prosperity of every kind, which this word includes: "evil" is also from him; not the evil of sin; this is not to be found among the creatures God made; this is of men, though suffered by the Lord, and overruled by him for good: but the evil of punishment for sin, God's sore judgments, famine, pestilence, evil beasts, and the sword, or war, which latter may more especially be intended, as it is opposed to peace; this usually is the effect of sin; may be sometimes lawfully engaged in; whether on a good or bad foundation is permitted by God; moreover, all afflictions, adversities, and calamities, come under this name, and are of God; see Job 2:10,
I the Lord do all these things; and therefore must be the true God, and the one and only one. Kimchi, from Saadiah Gaon, observes, that this is said against those that assert two gods, the one good, and the other evil; whereas the Lord is the Maker of good and evil, and therefore must be above all; and it is worthy of observation, that the Persian Magi, before Zoroastres (m), held two first causes, the one light, or the good god, the author of all good; and the other darkness, or the evil god, the author of all evil; the one they called Oromazes, the other Arimanius; and, as Dr. Prideaux (n) observes,
"these words are directed to Cyrus king of Persia, and must be understood as spoken in reference to the Persian sect of the Magians; who then held light and darkness, or good and evil, to be the supreme Beings, without acknowledging the great God as superior to both;''
and which these words show; for Zoroastres, who reformed them in this first principle of their religion, was after Isaiah's time.

More explaination of that verse Isaiah 45:7:
Also all life created has a free will (exceptions maybe of viruses, bacterias and things of that nature etc, but you get my point), has free will as a gift, as God did not want to have robots and by that free will some choose evil, and in that regard God is creator of all things, but its not Gods fault what anyone, example humans created in Gods image choose by their free will to do, its completely their own free will, as someone sows they shall also reap, either good or bad, God is not mocked Galatians 6:7."

"I know, Lord, I know!" the man cried. "But I repent now."
"It is too late," said Jesus. "Judgment is set."
The man continued, "Lord, some of my people are coming here, for they also will not repent. Please, Lord, let me go tell them that they must repent of their sins while they are still on earth. I do not want them to come here."
Jesus said, "They have preachers, teachers and elders, all ministering the gospel. They will tell them. They also have the advantages of the modern communications systems and many other ways to learn of Me. I sent workers to them that they might believe and be saved. If they will not believe when they hear the gospel, neither will they be persuaded though one rises from the dead." MKB (Near death experiences do not count as they were not dead beyond ability by doctrors to revive them etc, however they were clinically dead a short period of time no doubt). Biblically tested true things is true and Biblically tested true Near death experiences, for us humans Repentance only on Earth alive. Only see listed Biblically tested true things. Only Biblically exception (humans in flood of Noa, in past, 1 Peter 3:18-20 "18 Because The Messiah also died once for the sake of our sins, The Righteous One in the place of sinners, to bring you to God, and he died in body and lived in his Spirit. 19And he preached to those souls who were held in Sheol, 20 These who from the first were not convinced in the days of Noah when the long-suffering of God commanded that there would be an ark, upon the hope of their repentance*, and only eight souls entered it and were kept alive by water. 21For you also are saved in it by that simile in baptism, not when you wash the body from impurity, but when you confess* God with a pure conscience, and by the resurrection of Yeshua, The Messiah, 22He who has been escorted into Heaven, and he is upon the right hand of God, and the Angels and the Principalities and the Powers are subjected unto him." http://biblehub.com/aramaic-plain-english/1_peter/3.htm
and
"She'ol (/ˈʃiːoʊl/ shee-ohl or /ˈʃiːəl/ shee-əl; Hebrew שְׁאוֹל Šʾôl), is a place of darkness to which all the dead go, both the righteous and the unrighteous, regardless of the moral choices made in life, a place of stillness and darkness cut off from life and from the Hebrew God.[1]"

"I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish."
Luke 13:5
"15"But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions."
Matthew 6:15
I HAVE FORGIVEN YOU, BUT BIBLICALLY JUSTICE WE ALWAYS CAN PRAY FOR OVER UNBIBLICALLY EVILS LIES SCAMS SWINDLERS ETC OVER ALL WORDLY INJUSTICE ETC:
" 19Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord. 20"BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD."…"
Romans 12:19
God loves all in a certain way, but those who do not live Biblically daily in love for Christ, and obey the Gospel, and do Gods will, God will, important for us all:
"Christ's Coming
5All this is evidence that God's judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering: 6Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7And to you who are troubled rest with us,
when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and on those that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9They shall be punished with everlasting destruction away from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. 11Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: 12That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified
in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ."
2 Thessalonians 1
