Discuss Genesis 1 Page 135

Hello Gabriel Are you referring to how society treats animals, as in abuse? I do not believe that animals should be abused. However, I do not think that they are on the level as human. If a person is caught abusing them they should not be handed a Federal indictment. A fine and or community work is sufficient. We are to be good stewards over the things that God has given us dominion over. Does this mean that we cannot kill them for food and clothing? The answer is no. Those people who view animals on the level of human need to understand that animals have no souls. In Genesis 2 7, Adam was the one that God breathe in his nostrils the breath of life and he became a living soul. When Noah built the Ark and the animals and the Noah, his wife, and their three sons and their son s wives entered the Ark the scripture states that only 8 souls were saved. This scripture is significant because it denotes the fact that God recognized the humans with souls and the animals did not have souls. If animals had souls then God would have had it written that every soul in the Ark was saved instead of distinguishing that only 8 were saved. 1 Peter 3 20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

how does this Gen 1 28 relate to environment and society

God is light nd in Him is no darkness. Light removes confussion.

Jon the Bible is an Historical record if you read the whole Book you will see the truth if you have eye 's to see but many who say they understand the scriptures and are filled with the Spirit are not so you have to read it for yourself and test their fruit to see if they are telling you the truth. You and God and ask. Trying to Find a Holy person in this generation is like looking for a needle in a hay stack. Once you have the key you can tell the elect from the traditional teachers who make void the word of God.

I am interesting this bible study and I love read the bible .... I want learn about bible...

Let me let the bible speak for itself... Isa 44 6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts I am the first, and I am the last and beside me there is no God. Also... Revelation 1 5 8. And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Behold, he cometh with clouds and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Hello Jon Bovelgoush Genesis along with any scripture can be understood with the help of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Ghost, John 14 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. In the end, you need to follow Acts 2 38 to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. You also need to sit up under a Holy Ghost filled preacher who have followed Acts 2 38.

Genesis has served to address questions held my many. How could you begin to explain what can not be understood? Genesis has done that for many who had no understanding of science and in times before there was an opportunity for education. Genesis fills in the void that is ignorance. It is certainly not a historical record but it is certainly filled with good lessons and principles that should not be wasted even though our understanding of the world and the universe has expanded in modern times.

Evangelist Chatauna Robinson Well, if you notice in the word Romans 9 and Malachi 1 that God loved Jacob and hated Esau you have to realize God lived with them and also read Jeremiah 1 vs. 2 and 3 and God knew Jeremiah before He place him in his mothers belly. Also you can go to the appendix 's of the Companion Bible and read app. 146 and it will direct you to the verses of the usage of the word foundation and it will help you to understand the New Testament and the mystery of God of the first earth age. Also the side notes on the pages of a Companion Bible help a great deal in understanding the word. We know God created a beautiful earth and all the stars sang and the sons of God shouted for joy and that 's the whole batch of souls God ever created in Job 38vs 7. God created a beautiful home for all of us in the beginning millions of years ago Proverbs 8 vs 22 27 so just read the Bible, have an old Exhaustive Strong 's Concordance and clear your mind of the teachings by men and just forget what all of them said.

Gayle Adcock understand ages and eons of time in the N.T. and the mystery of God which is the first earth age you will need to read appendix146. There are two terms or two words for foundation you will learn to understand the scriptures and the world ages anyway type in search levend water bible search programs and Appendixes to the companion bible LEVENDWATER Will appear and just click on it and scroll down to appendix 146 and read it and seek and search the verses given and read them the way they should be read.

As Jesus said. Have you not read? No you wouldn 't of cause you asked the question of verses but my notes and verses are posted below. 2 Peter 3 vs 5 to 7 is a good place to start. The companion Bible appendix 146 will help you if you want to see. But I only plant seeds for people they can believe it or not its just seed to the right path.

Hello Word I would like to ask, Where is the scripture that backs up your claim that there was another Earth age where all of us lived with God before Adam was created? The Bible I am reading tells me that there is one Earth. The new Earth will not come until God destroys this one. God created the first man Adam out of the dusk and breath the breathe of life and he became a living soul.

Gayle Adcock just a thought since I mentioned Jeremiah when your reading scripture don 't let the little things just pass by. Jeremiah 1 vs 5 comes to mind where God says before God formed him in his mothers belly God knew him. Then God says before Jeremiah was out of the womb God sanctified and ordained him as a prophet unto the nations and that 's why you want to read the whole book caus it was to us.Jeremiah has important information about false teachings Anyway God lived with Jeremiah before he was in his mothers belly. Lived with us all in the first earth age.

Gayle Adcock In Genesis 1 vs 2 the word WAS is hayah 1961 Hebrew BECAME without form and void. In 2 Peter vs 3 tell us of the heaven and earth that was of old speaking of that first earth age standing out of water and in water and we know that it was beautiful as told to us in Isaiah 45. In 2 Peter 3 vs 6 speaking of that earth age before the world that was overflowed with water and perished. We know that destruction took place in Jeremiah 4 vs 22 to 31 and also in vs.27 you notice that earth itself was not to a full end so earth was just fine but it was a wasted wilderness. No Noah 's family or boat or bird or twig God said in Hebrew He submerged it and wash it. Then in 2 Peter 3 vs 7 Peter tells us that the earth he is standing on is and this flesh age is reserved for judgment of ungodly men. That 's what this earth age is about to make a choice Father who loves us or Satan and wickedness. I will have more.

Gayle in Isaiah 45 vs 18 we learn God created earth beautiful, established perfection implied, to be inhabited and NOT without form and void. And in Proverbs 8 vs 22 to 31 we learn wisdom was with God creating earth and nothing was created in chaos when wisdom is there. Don 't miss who was there with God, wisdom, and the sons of men. God told Job in chapter 38 vs 7 after explaining creation and putting the earth in motion that the stars sang rejoicing and the sons of God shouted with joy and we know that is every soul created In Genesis 1 vs 2 the world without form and void. And I 'll look up the rest of the story I 'm very old and need sleep but I want to get it right to the point

I am currently reading a book called The Genesis Enigma by Andrew Parker. I would strongly recommend it to all. The book educates the reader regarding how the creation and evolution are combined. Even independent of this book the mars explorer sent by NASA found the content of the water discovered on that planet NOT THE SAME as that in our oceans.I should point out that where the oceans came from is an ongoing puzzle for scientists.

Hello Lee If you would do me a favor, so that I do not have to repeat myself, would you read on page one under this chapter what I wrote to Russell2029. It is dated 10 14 14 at 10 12 pm. He asked the same question. I cannot make it no plainer than what I have already written.

Hello Gayle Adcock Didn 't nothing happened. If I can say it like this, the writer Moses inspired by God let you know that God created both the heaven and the earth. Then he went on to explain to the reader how he done it. It s like reading a good book the writer catches your attention and then explains what caught your attention. For a very long time people have been trying to find fault in the Books of the Bible. They have been trying to discredit the validity of the creation. However, through faith a true Christian does not have to have proof that it happened. We believe that it happened without a shadow of a doubt. The trick of the enemy is to get us debating everyday all day about things like this and not focus on the true purpose of this time period we are now in, the Grace Age or the Dispensation of Grace. Under this Dispensation of Grace you must follow Acts 2 38 in order to be saved. If you do not then you will become lost. If you happen to live during the tribulation period then you will have to make a choice to either get your head cut off or take the mark of the beast, the 666.

Hello Vince You can explain anything you want. I know that our time is not God s time, 2 Peter 3 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day . Some people may say that for each creation it took God one thousand years based on this scripture. I know that the 7 days of creation does not give the time span in which it happened. I do not believe that it took him one thousand years to make a man. The point is God is the author of time. He can do things in one second or one thousand years. When he comes back to get his saints he is going to change them in a twinkle of an eye. 1 Corinthians 15 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed . It still does not negate the fact that there is more than one heaven. Listen we can debate about the creation all day. Unless you have true faith in God you will still question the creation. I do not question it, because if the Bible states it was done then it was done. I have experienced Acts 2 38 therefore I truly believe in what the word states.

so in 26 god said let us make man in our image after our likeness so who is us and our ? and how did it end up just god made man in his image?

what happen between gen.1 1 GEN 1 2 Why was the creation void?

The Time between the statement The Heavens and the Earth is Very very vast............I will explain I would explain if you would like.

Hello Paul Barker and Abner Paul, I do not understand your point about the creation of man either? I stated right below your statement that man was created on the sixth day. It was explained in Chapter two how God done it. It clearly states that after he stated let us then he did the work, Genesis 1 26 27. If you both read up under Chapter 2 of Genesis you will read my response 10 21 14 at 8 10 am to George about God resting.

Hello Paul Barker I do not understand your point about Adam having a soul? Man is made up of body, soul, and spirit, 1 Thessalonians 5 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless into the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ . The reason why I stated that he has a soul is because after God breathe the breath of life into him he became a living soul, therefore he has a soul. The point is that God, who inspired Moses to write the first five books of the Bible, had him distinctly write that particular difference between man and the other creations he made. The other fact is that there is nowhere in the Bible where it mentions souls that it refers to animals. So even if you wanted to argue the point that Adam became a living soul instead of having one, then the other humans that came from Adam had a soul as well. Once again the important thing here is that God made it a specific point to make sure that Moses wrote the difference between the creations. After the flood and everyone was destroyed the Bible only mentioned that 8 souls were in the Ark. We know that there were animals in there, so then the 8 souls were human. This is another distinction that God had Moses to write. In the end, all of these people who are saying that their animals are like human they are not. They have no SOULS.

Man was created on the sixth day period, after the animals. And on 7th day He rested from His work.

My previous comment didn 't read quite correctly in the preview, and symbols other than qoute such as parentheses, plus and equal don 't show up. It should have read "dust of the earth plus breath of life equals living soul. "

Evangeist Chatauna Robinson and George, Some scholars say man was created on the 6th day, and some scholars, for all their credentials, are still ignorant, as evidenced by the fact they do not believe in the divine inspiration of the Bible. But clearly, Adam and Eve were both created on the sixth day, according to verse 27, and GOD spoke to them in verses 28 and 29. Also, Ev. Robinson, you mentioned the soul. According to Gen 2 7, Man IS a soul, not Has a soul. "...God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man BECAME a living soul. " Emphasis mine The difference being GOD spoke the animals into existence, but HE took a more personal approach with man, choosing to form man and breath life into him personally. Dust of the earth breath of life living soul.

Some scholars say man was created on the 6th day. Some scholars say that God created man on the 7th day and that on the 6th day he was thinking about it. Once again either way he created man after the animals and plants. He described how he done things in Chapter 2.

I would like to make a correction. God created man on the sixth day in Chapter one. He had it explained in Chapter two how he done it. Now some scholars say that he created man on the seventh day. But in Chapter one it clearly states that he created him and then at the very end of this chapter he states that the morning and the evening were the sixth day.

Hello Keemenao Mildred Moseki You are absolutely correct. The Bible is the true word of God. John 17 17 "Sanctify them through thy truth thy word is truth. "
