Many days ago metalgod8 asked some questions. Here are the answers.
First, the very first child was not a murderer. We know that because Cain was worried that "any finding" him would "slay" him. Cain & Abel were mentioned first because it was the first murder.
Incest, yes, I suppose, although Adam & Eve were only related by a rib, but yes, that's how they populated the earth.
We are supposed to coexist peacefully without evil through LOVE. God is love. Yes, it is the hardest thing to do, especially when you've been altered in a POW camp for children, but it is possible.
The "earliest ones" were not violent, perverted, or devious. Eve was deceived by the Evil One, Satan. Before that she was designed to live forever. That's why God sealed the Tree of Life, lest they eat of that too and have no way out of the pit they put themselves into. God gave them only one rule in the garden and they screwed up. But they weren't the things you say they were. They were tempted by something as stupid as a piece of fruit. And Satan to this day still beguiles us with our physical appetites.
Noah did not save us all. He did, however, begin God's idea of blood-atonement and set the stage for Jesus to become the sacrificial lamb by obeying God and sacrificing animals. Incidentally, that is when they claim the animals began to eat one another and no longer communed with man, although I suspect after the garden incident they broke away from man. But hey, that's something to look up on your own and come to your own conclusions about.
The carpenter that you mentioned was the creative force that said, "Let there be light" when the world was created. I believe he will return because he rose from the grave. I know what I know because he revealled it to me. Read the Bible. Find out for yourself.
If you ask for wisdom before you read, you won't get confused. And hey, don't start with Revelation, which, yes, is full of ambiguity and metaphor. Start with one of the gospels or Corinthians or Romans or Hebrews. These all speak of love and interacting with others and how to walk by faith and love. These will show you how to be different.
But, as always, I will be praying for you.
In all your getting, get understanding. (That's in the Bible).
I hope my answers have helped you. :smokin:
