Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it:
They weren't just 2 people, it was the different races of people who God, with input of Angels, created. Then told these people to go into the world and replenish it.
In Gen 2 God created his people, Adam and Eve. The rest of the bible is about God and his people.
Why does the bible call them tree, the only thing I can think of is the family tree which which would relate to our own family tree.
The words are singular he created one man and one women as Paul makes crystal clear for in Adam All sinned.
If there were other people alive in Adams day then all humanity cannot be fallen.
It does not call them a tree or trees.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it:
Gen 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.
Gen 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Which one is right? Explain it if you don't believe both.
God created male and female and told them to go into all the earth.
created - go into all the world
God formed man and put him in a garden.
formed - placed in a garden
I believe both are right!
Jdg_9:8 The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.
Jdg_9:9 But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
Jdg_9:10 And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us.
Jdg_9:11 But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?
Jdg_9:12 Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us.
Jdg_9:13 And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
Jdg_9:14 Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us.
Jdg_9:15 And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.

Fellow, it is pure supposition to use a passage like this to teach that the two trees in the garden were actually people. The Book of Judges explains very clearly WHO these people were who were being referred to in the parable. It was Othniel, Ehud, Gideon and Abimelech. There is no such specification in the Genesis account regarding the two "people" the two trees supposedly were.
You are making this up, and fabricating a theology out of thin air.
1Jn_3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
This scripture means Eve gave birth to a baby whose father was the devil.

No, fellow. This is merely an expression to say Cain was a son of the wicked one spiritually. Do you think when the scripture calls us "sons of God" that it is saying the Most High God literally came down and inseminated our mothers in the flesh, and that this is how we became sons and daughters of God?
If so, you are teaching an extremely perverted gospel, though I am hoping this is just a misinterpretation on your part. But you are taking the expression way too far.
Refers to his behavior not his daddy
do the Jews have the spiritual mark of Cain for killing their brother?
To illustrate your folly, Jesus called himself a door. Do you believe that Jesus is a series of wooden planks fastened together to form a door, or is it like the passage in judges you quote merely an illustration.
