THE SIXTH DAY OF CREATION
[ EIGHTH DAY MAN ?]
(Acts 17:26) "From ONE MAN He made EVERY nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth....
The Shepherds Chapel teaches that the Bible says the "sixth day creation of man" in Genesis 1:26,27 was the creation of the non-Adamic races (i.e., not Adam & Eve), and that the Adamic race (i.e., Adam & Eve, and their descendants ) whom they claim were of a "ruddy complexion" (i.e., white skinned), were created on some unwritten "8th day", but is this really what the Bible says?
Shepherds Chapel teaches Adam & Eve were of "ruddy" complexion (i.e., white skinned). Yet they use a incorrect word meaning for Adam to confirm this theory. By improperly inferring Strong's word #119 for Adam {#119 is a Hebrew word, meaning dyed red , red, or ruddy}, in place of the actual assigned word meaning, which is Strong's #120, which is properly rendered "man" or "mankind", they teach that the "blushing" race descended from Adam. However, a search of Strong's #119 below will reveals it's used only ten times in the Old Testament, and never in reference to the man Adam or even in Genesis at all!
Consequently, in order to support their doctrine, Shepherds Chapel must rely on substituting "root words" and/or assigning "possible" alternative meanings to what is actually written! Thereby altering the meaning of the beginning of Genesis!
