    HB: yes,this is to show the idiocy in the belief of JW's doctrines. I doubt many here believe

    that Adam was the first man. LOL

    There are folks here that is very knowledgeable when comes to the Bible, so when we have a

    opportunity to sit with our love ones who are still trapped in the cult,we will be ready

    to speak the truth. It's a fact, we are more versed in JW teaching then the average JW.

    The know nothing about their own doctrine.. So by breaking down, analyzing and just ripping

    their stupid doctrines apart, we may open the eyes of some. So you wonder why they are so

    afraid of the dreaded Apostate.

    According to the 2013 publication "Imitate their faith", page 10 (ftn) the answer is NO:-

    "Why, though, did Jesus connect Abel with “the founding of the world” and not Cain, who was the first such offspring? Cain’s decisions and actions amounted to a willful rebellion against Jehovah God. Like his parents, Cain does not appear to be in line for resurrection and redemption."

    It's all twaddle anyway, no one is going to be resurrected, that is just fantasy

    Adam is a story a copy from an older story from Sumeria. The story is in the writing called the Emu Elish. Most of the stories in Genesis are taken from these older stories and changed a bit. The reason Cain's offering was rejected was because it was not meat. The gods love the smell of burning flesh. And the reason Adam did not gain immortality is because his father God Enki told him the gods we're tricking him and not to eat the food they offered him. Enki was wrong and Adam could have been immortal if only he had eaten the food.

    If I did some of the things that God did to his children, the state would take my kids away

    and put me in the safe place. And to think, these people copied those crazy stories.

    Most of these stories I believe we're ways the people could try to make sense of what was going on around them. They those that thought gods we're things like planets the moon the sun etc and when things happened like the wind blew these acts we're also done by the God's. So when bad things happened the God's we're angry and when good things happened the God's we're blessings the people. A very primitive mind set yet today most still believe the same. When things don't go right God must be unhappy with me and when they do I'm blessed.

    I am still trying to figure out wherein the bible it says the resurrection will be a selective process .

    I have always found it quite disturbing the average JW thinks an SS guard gassing children in the death camps will get a second chance on paradise earth because he is dead……………..yet the average person who says thanks not interested to a JW at the door with face the ultimate punishment at the big A .

    Yep, so Adam and Eve don't get a resurrection, BUT the spirit creature that deceived them and manipulated them DOES get a second chance...

    Hmmm...

    Russell taught that Jesus died only to redeem Adam - 1 perfect life for another.

    All the rest of humanity were redeemed by default because they were unborn in "Adam's loins" when he sinned.

    One redeemer was quite sufficient in the plan which God adopted, because only one had sinned, and only one had been condemned. Others shared his condemnation…One unforfeited life could redeem one forfeited life and no more. The one perfect man, “the man Christ Jesus,” who redeems the fallen Adam (and our losses through him) could not have been a ransom for all under any other circumstances than those of the plan which God chose. – Divine Plan of the Ages p.132 1886

    Rutherford went along with this doctrine for a while.

    Jesus must reduce his perfect humanity to a purchasing value, which we may call merit, and which merit or purchasing value would be sufficient for the payment of Adam’s debt and release Adam and his offspring from that judgement. In order to provide this price it was necessary for Jesus to die. – p.142

    “By dying he reduced his perfect life to an asset that might thereafter be used to release Adam and his offspring from death. – Harp of God p.140 1921

    It didn't change until 1939

    This text does not say or mean that Adam was or is ransomed, but does mean that the human perfection once possessed by the perfect man Adam (and which human perfection carried with it the right to life, which life and right thereto were forfeited by the wilful disobedience of Adam) is purchased or bought back or ransomed for Adam’s offspring, who were prevented from receiving that life and right thereto by reason of Adam’s sin – Salvation p.176. 1939
