    Part 5 of 5.

    In Genesis 2:22, Adam finally meets the one who corresponds to him, that the LORD God built to be a helper for him. After meeting the woman, Adam says, "This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she [this one] shall be called woman, because she [this one] was taken out of man" ( Genesis 2:23). In Hebrew the three occurrences of the demonstrative pronoun this (zt) in verse 23 show Adam's exclamation of the one who rightly corresponds to him. The fact that the woman (i) came from the man () shows that they are made of the same stuff. Adam goes on to name his wife "Eve" because she is to become the mother of all the living ( Genesis 3:20).

    Most importantly, in Matthew 19:4-5 Jesus quotes from Genesis 1 and 2 as referring to the same people to make a theological point on marriage. By combining Genesis 1:27 and 2:24 in this way, he in no way regarded them as separate, contradictory accounts of creation. Jesus understood the "male and female" of Genesis 1:27 as "the man" (Adam) and "the woman" (Eve) of Genesis 2:24. Genesis 2 is the beginning of the history of mankind on day six of creation week.

    There is no hint whatsoever in Genesis 2 of a group of pre-existing people from whom God elects the first couple, Adam and Eve. Rather it talks about the supernatural formation of the first man (Adam) and the supernatural "building" of the first woman (Eve). The Bible makes it clear: all mankind came from the first man that God created (cf. Acts 17:26).

    The verses are very similar but the actually verse is from Habakkuk 3:19.

    Part 4.

    The context and language of Genesis 2:7 clearly rule out any evolutionary processes. This is evident from the fact that: (1) man is alone; (2) God breathes into his nostrils the "breath of life"; and (3) he is formed from the dust of the ground.

    Because Adam cannot find a helper (zer) who corresponds (knegd) to him from among the animals ( Genesis 2:20), the LORD God puts him into a deep sleep (cf. Jonah 1:5-6) and makes (bn) a woman, who corresponds to him, from his "rib" ( Genesis 2:18). The verb bn depicts the LORD God as "building" Eve out of the "rib" or side of Adam ( Genesis 2:22). It is used elsewhere in Genesis for the physical building of a city and a tower ( Genesis 4:17, 11:4; cf. Amos 9:6). The word rib (l) complements the word built, as it appears numerous times in the building of the tabernacle ( Exodus 25:12, 26:20, 27:7, 30:4, 36:31-32, 37:3, 38:7). This is a beautiful picture of how the LORD God constructed the first woman. The term built also compliments the craftsman's term fashion used for the creation of Adam ( Genesis 2:7), as the LORD God is now working with hard material and not soft dust. Eve, unlike Adam, was not created from the ground, but her source comes from a "living creature." There is no way to harmonize Genesis 2:22 with theistic evolution: it is describing supernatural creation!

    Part 3.

    Genesis 6:17, 7:15, 22), which is "a clear indication of life-and thereby the lifeless body became a living soul, a living being. Adam consists then of the material (dust) and immaterial (breath of life). It was not until the LORD God breathed into Adam that he became a living creature (as Paul also indicates in 1 Corinthians 15:45: "the first man Adam became a living soul").

    This means that you cannot place minutes, hours, days, or years between those two acts as they are distinct, inseparable, essentially simultaneous sides of the one creative event.

    The forming of the man from the dust of the ground shows that the LORD God formed the body almost immediately without intermediate processes. The act of formation and impartation (the breath of life) are two distinct but inseparable acts-two sides of one creative act. This means that you cannot place minutes, hours, days, or years between those two acts as they are distinct, inseparable, essentially simultaneous sides of the one creative event. This, therefore, rules out the idea that man developed from a lower form of a pre-existing hominid. If Adam was not the first man and there were other hominids prior to him, then it raises the question: in what sense was he the first man ( 1 Corinthians 15:45)?

    The ground was not only the place of Adam's creation but also his home, and because of his later disobedience, it would become his grave ( Genesis 2:15; 3:19). Adam's value is seen not in what he was made from but rather in the unique way God formed him (cf. Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3--4, 139:13-14). The man the LORD God formed is called Adam ( Genesis 2:20; 3:17; cf. 5:1), who is the only human at this point as he is alone, which is not good ( Genesis 2:18. ), until God makes a helper who corresponds to him

    ( Genesis 2:18-22).

    Part 2.

    The key to understanding 2:4 is in the opening Hebrew phrase tldt ("This is the history of"), as it formulates the structure of the book of Genesis. A number of scholars recognize that here tldt serves as a heading that introduces a new section of the narrative. Interestingly, this is the only time the phrase tldt occurs without a personal name, the reason being that "Adam had no human predecessors. The tldt serves two main purposes in Genesis 2:4. First, it "links 2:4-25 with 1:1-2:3. The language of 2:4 looks back to the creation account, just as the tldt in Genesis 11:10 looks back to a line of Shem in Genesis 10:1 and 10:21-31. Second, "its main purpose is to shift attention to the creation of man and his placement in the garden. The setting of Genesis 2 is the garden in Eden, in which the LORD God places the man he creates ( Genesis 2:8, 15). Because there was no man to work the ground ( Genesis 2:5), this is the reason that the LORD God forms "the man" (hdm) from the dust of the "ground" (dm). The description of the creation of the first man is given in Genesis 2:7:

    then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.

    Like a craftsman who shapes his material, the LORD God "formed. (yar) the man from the "dust" (pr) of the ground. The word "dust" is not a metaphor. It can only mean literal dust in the context of Genesis 2-3 because it is to dust that Adam will return due to his disobedience ( Genesis 3:19; cf. Job 34:14-15). After the formation of man from the dust of the ground, he is given human life when the LORD God breathes into him the breath of life.

  • GiGi on Exodus 7 - 3 years ago
    ,....continued

    The first plague performed was to turn the water of the Nile into blood along with the water in the canals and side streams. The Nile was worshipped. Hapi was the spirit god of the Nile, Isis was the goddess of the Nile, Osirus' blood was said to the waters of the Nile. Khnum was said to be the guardian of the Nile. The Nile was truly the lifeblood of the people of Egypt. Aside from the Nile, fresh water was very scarce. Every living thing needs water to stay alive and the water of the Nile watered the crops and livestock to keep the land of Egypt as a major food source for the Mediterranean area.

    This plague made the Nile no longer a life-sustaining source, but liquid poison, so to speak. Its waters were undrinkable and made people ill if they did. Whether it truly was blood or just red by some other organism we cannot know. But the text says that it was turned to blood, not turned red like blood. So, I think it really was blood, but not pure blood like the blood of Christ. It was tainted blood. The magicians were able to perform this same act by magic. So, Pharaoh was not troubled much. He returned to his palace fairly unconcerned and hardened his heart more than before. Perhaps he had a well or stored water and thought that this water would not be blood. But most likely upon inquiring, it was.

    The fish in the Nile died, as well, and were unfit to eat. The Egyptians had a fish god and goddess, Hatmehit as goddess, and Rem as the god who fertilized the land.
  • GiGi on Exodus 7 - 3 years ago
    This chapter tells about the hardening of Pharaoh's heart even more and the beginning of the plagues God brings upon Egypt.

    When Moses and Aaron met with Pharaoh, they always ordered Pharaoh to let the Israelites go. Moses and Aaron kept this outcome at the forefront, remembering that that is their sole mission, to secure the release of the Israelites from Pharaoh.

    The Israelites were not going to leave Egypt in a stealthy way, nor by the Israelites rising up in battle and defeating the Egyptians. No, God wanted the Israelites to know for sure that it was He, their God who brings them out.

    The Egyptians were polytheistic and had many gods they worshipped, many of them being animals. They also worshipped the Nile as its waters watered their land which would be only desert if it wasn't for the Nile. God told Moses that he would be as a god to Pharaoh. This may mean that Moses was going to be YHWH's representative or that Pharaoh would see Moses as another god by the time the release of the Israelites is accomplished. It does NOT mean that Moses is actually a 'god'' All gods beside YHWH are false idols. So, YHWH would not induct Moses as a 'god' because YHWH will never share His glory and place as the only God with anyone else.

    The first sign miracle that Moses and Aaron performed together before Pharaoh was to turn the rod or staff into a snake. The magicians did the same magic trick, however, Aaron's rod/snake swallowed up the magician's rod/snakes. This is significant. God knew all of the false idols the Egyptians worshipped and the snake was one of them. It was named Apep and was the god of chaos. Also, Apep was said to pursue Ra (the chief god-sun god) each night in an effort to devour Ra so that the sun would not rise and the world would remain in darkness. So, when Aaron's snake devoured the magician's snakes this showed them that the God of Moses and Aaron was greater than Apep, having been devoured by the rod/snake of Aaron.

  • Matthew J Tyler - 3 years ago
    So my testimony is a little fantastic to say the least.My life at the start was a normal childhood nothing too extreme just a boy without a dad around and trying to figure out life on my own.At age 9 experimented with weed and let me tell you it is the gateway to everything else to say the least.. After high school began work but would always do good for a while then screw it up somehow by using drugs and failing drug test or wreck a vehicle drinking and driving... I'll just say that I should have died multiple times. Then my grandfather passed away and I inherited a fair amount of money in 2018 and at first a lot of drinking, missing my grandfather, then this one night with my sister I decided to get high with her on some meth and well.. that began an 8 month, just terrible terrible waste of life and money and dignity. I had never been hooked like I was during that time and needless to say many times once again just in those 8 months I should have died or been shot plenty times. It was horrible to say the least. Then after 8 months of it I found myself alone in my grandfathers house indulging myself in some pornography and I hear a voice that says "YOU THINK NO ONE IS WATCHING BUT WE ARE". and I then, broke and threw my phone in a panic and stood up, (thinking all kinds of stuff as you could imagine) then I look into the kitchen and I see a book sitting in the middle of kitchen table and when I walk over to it I see that its my grandfathers Bible which nobody could find at the time of his death. That day changed everything, the lord made me afraid of the drugs I had on me so I threw them away and the lord led me to a time of repenting in a hotel about two hrs away with no phone just me my dog and that bible. After being sober and reading bible an hour a day for about a month, I remember having hope again that life wasn't over and then I heard the Shepards voice inside of me directing me and I obeyed and three days later BOOM FIRE IN MY SOUL! REBORN! Set Free! JESUS

    Isaiah 45:7 God's ways are kind of like our ways, in some ways. At the 6th trumpet God uses a foreign army to bring judgment to "His" wayward people (Babylon) for their disobedience. God is so proud of His 6th trumpet army, His beast army, and the leader who executes His will ( Joel 2:11). Then we come to find out that God is angry at the beast for doing what God had asked of him; destroy Babylon. If God didn't want Isaiah 24 or Obadiah results, why did He bless Russian scientists with the ability to destroy nations? God behaves akin to a mafia boss, just follow the narrative.

    Hello, Cyril

    I read your post and tried to make good sense out of it as it is composed of many words that are more archaic than what we use today. But for me, I think that you were extolling the greatness of our wonderful God. That is always a good thing to do any day any time.
  • Richard H Priday - In Reply on Luke 16 - 3 years ago
    I will quote some verses but am too lazy to look them up. Christ told some that how could he trust them with heavenly treasure if they weren't faithful with heavenly treasure (probably the parable of the talents). We are given in this lifetime "unrighteous mammon" and in some sense are to work with others in this world but not be of it to demonstrate using our resources faithfully. There certainly can be more than money involved such as time and a person's spiritual giftings. There is a warning verse in Revelation not to "lose our reward" so at the very least there are eternal positions of authority of rewards at stake. Another verse in the gospels explains that God will give "authority over many or few cities" depending on our stewardship now. In some sense as we are said for our "reasonable service" we are to be living sacrifices with our bodies as the Temple of the Holy Spirit this shows good stewardship in buffeting our bodies. All good gifts come from above; therefore we need to be proactive in performing "good works given to us to do from before the foundation of the world". There is also danger that an unregenerate soul such as Judas Iscariot the "son of perdition" a type of Antichrist himself may be allowed for a time to take advantage of the "filthy lucre" as so many TV evangelists today typify. It is the love of money at the root of all evil; not money itself. Money is a means to an end; either leading to selfishness falling for Satan's lies (which Christ clearly rejected as He was the only one who could be given a temptation of sharing the authority of the whole world that Satan was given); or for the sake of the gospel; missionary work and building up of the local church through faithful giving. We should be careful in that regard to "not let our right hand know what our left hand is doing"-to proclaim our "acts of righteousness" or promote our ministry unnecessarily is not good. We are all unworthy servants doing what we are told.
  • Richard H Priday - In Reply - 3 years ago
    I will quote some verses; I suggest that you look at google to find where they are and exact wording. In the time before Christ; as the parable of Lazarus and the rich man (nameless) demonstrate from a REAL story not an allegory; that the souls of men (ALL) remained under the earth; either in paradise or in sheol (both were under the earth at the time). Clearly; one was a pleasant place and one of torment. When Christ died; he promised the thief on the cross that "today you shall be with me in paradise." That meant what it said for THAT day; at that point Christ according to Peter "proclaimed" or preached to those who were under the earth; then led "captivity captive." Therefore; three days later many PHYSICALLY resurrected it would seem from scripture; and ALL souls of the righteous were delivered as Satan no longer had any AUTHORITY to hold anyone as he did previous to Christ's atonement in time and space; therefore as Corinthians states "absent from the body is present with the Lord." Under the earth; therefore it is erroneous that some in reformed circles and perhaps others state that anyone is in paradise under the earth except for the unregenerate today. There are of course spiritual beings there as well; some of the angels in a separate area called "Tartarus" or the bottomless pit. The "New Jerusalem" simply is the CITY IN heaven; which would appear to be a body or planetary type object. It will; according to scripture eventually land on earth after being suspended above during the Millennium. People will clearly be AWARE of God and Christ on the throne by the sixth seal in Revelation.

  • Cyril Muhammad - 3 years ago
    Before word,have I created the conscience of being,to simplicate the definitive of idol worshipations. For,by the language of time am I spoken without an excession of created term. Inevitability differentiates contendance to present my presence about none given to an first and last enviousness of my holiness. What ignorance has observed through worldly intends to attain an heavenly freedom,is but my arrival above the obedience of written commandments witnessing my divine surpassing of the physications of taught intellects. For,once I am spiritually entered into the oracle of creation,then am I become the externalizer of the mind made honored by expressive factions. The unknown sense of creation I ascend by what is beyond the human interpretation of being,revealing to the faith of creation that I respect no innovation of the created curiosity about my noble concerns for every repented soul. Those deceptions existent for my greater descernment,is only lived inferior to my superior righteous insight that exceeds the expectations of the defiant despisements of my spiritual intelligence. Already have I mastered the proverbial maneuverability by disciplining my chosen mind- state beyond what the human informative can approach into,for,I am no seeker for an end to an reason for existing,but am found as the object sought for,as an means to exist in prosperation. Thought is but finite to my prophetical establishment for the furthering of divine knowledge and there survives no mortality beyond my resurrecting of the prophetical promise. Over human servitude I subject the will of creation to my demands for authentic inclusions through sacred prostrations making the talents of fearing persons uplift my nature within the hearts and minds of all who would die for my secureations against opposing thinkers. The universe itself cannot contain my whole presence,for I ascend above the heaven of heavens reproving perfectionism as the reason for my dwelling among creation.

  • Richard H Priday on Isaiah 26 - 3 years ago
    Verses 17 through 21 give a clear indication of the rapture/resurrection of the righteous; and the burden of those left behind who themselves weren't delivered. There is a personalized assurance of resurrection for the prophet (verse 19); and this is similar to the verse in Job which states something similar in the last days. The birth pangs in verse 16 and 17 show how the nation cries out to God in that period of time; which makes the most sense after the rapture of the church and Resurrection of O.T. saints. Interestingly the increase of the nation is indicated twice in verse 15 after an earlier diaspora; which could show that a second phase of that is yet to come (perhaps after defeat of the armies in the Psalm 83 war). Going back to verse 10 and 11 we see a Millennium reference to when God's majesty even in a land of "uprightness" and destruction either at Armageddon or the end of the Millennial period is indicated with fire devouring them (also of course indicative of eternal destruction in hellfire). The chapter begins with the edifice of what no doubt will constitute the heavenly city or Jerusalem during the Millennium; when the hope waited for in verse 8 is finally realized for His people. Those who tread down the lofty city in verse 6 sound similar to the verse about trodding on the ashes of the wicked in Malachi 4:3.
