That Twinc is something that I 'hold loosely' ...I think maybe
it is' both.'
I find that so many things in the bible are not always "either
v or "... but BOTH.
As Paul says. "First the natural then the spiritual.."

[/quote]The question may need clarification since both adam and
h'adam are used in Genesis. You can't tell that easily by
reading translations. I'd say Adam is a specific person while
h'adam is a collection noun.

Welcome back, twinc! I'm inclined to think Genesis 1-11 is
symbolical, so the distinction in Hebrew as man or men as
mentioned by Kerry above seems to be irrelevant. I suppose the
answer depends upon the hermeneutic you bring to the passage.

actually I think it is very relevant and answers the mystery re
the Nephilims etc - everything it seems had a tendency to
giantism e.g there were 8ft Dragonflies etc imho - twinc
