Discuss Genesis 1 Page 163

1:1 God made the heaven and earth. The period the Heaven lives in and the earth so that the earth could be as old as HEAVEN itself, Yes even billions of years old. Remember God did not create a method for our keeping of time until He made the sun and moon which are for seasons and days, 24 hours that we now call a day not God’s because a day with the Lord is as a 1000 years; not a 1000 years but that time to God has no relativeness as it does with us.

GOD IS REALLY GREAT AND DESERVES ALL THE PRAISE AND WORSHIP FOR EVEN THINKING OF US AND MAKING US IN HIS LIKENESS INTO HIS BEAUTIFUL CREATION, AMEN.

ALL I CAN SAY IS FATHER GOD IS GOD, AND JESUS IS HIS SON. FATHER, SON, HOLY SPIRIT; ALL 3 ARE ONE. LIKE IT WAS SAID IN THE WORD WHEN YOU HAVE SEEN ME YOU HAVE SEEN THE FATHER [GOD] GOD BLESS ALL.

@Ashley,
Evenings and mornings were days demarcations, just as they are today. They open and close days. God bless you.

God is the creator of all and everything! This shows how mighty and great he is! But why does it keep saying "evening and morning the first day" and so on?

None of these integrations is correct. The Hebrew word for was is Strong's no.1961 it means ‘’became’’ without form and void. look it up. It became that way after Satan’s rebellion. Exactly as it is written.

There is no doubt about it, GOD exists and He is the creator King..Praise God!

@Kimberly,
In fact those problems are the ones Jesus Christ came to solve, in telling the thruth about everything, including life, showing the way to life in God. Those that follow Jesus Christ in thruth will keep themselves away from such things. God bless you.

@B. Clark,
Yes, before the creation of the Sun, Moon and stars, God used another lightner which the Bible does not mention. However, days were still periods of 24 hours, because we don’t see the Bible showing change in day’s length after the creation of the Sun, Moon and others stars which took place on the 4th day. And since the 4th day, days have been the same to this day, so were they before.

I am the way the truth and the life. what should be the way if there is many people doing so bad in this world, the truth when people don’t believe in God; and the life if there are people that come over killing thier new born baby? Where is the way, the truth and the life?

If God made light before he made the Sun and Moon, then that light must have referred to something other than sunlight and the day referred to may not be a 24 hour day as we refer it to. Is it not possible that creation days are really periods of time and God used this time to expand his creation, before his next project.

Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to understanding the bible. I asked who is Matthew Henry, after checking further about this man, reading Genesis 1, I will never read another summation. I thank God for his guide to truth about false prophecy.

@Ramon,
The earth was without form, and void; is the consequence of Satan’s fall and all disturbance it brought on earth which became shapeless. GOD did not create the earth shapeless in Genesis 1:1. Because so many years are believed to separate Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2. It is in that space of time that we place the existence dinosaurs and the life of all fossils that existed some million of years ago. So the heaven and earth of Genesis 1:1 made a world with life, but different from ours. And after the fall of Satan, that life was completely destroyed, and the earth lost its shape, ... it’s only in Genesis 1:3 that GOD started bringing it back to order. Otherwise, the earth was not shapeless at the beginning, it became shapeless with the fall of Satan.
GOD bless you.

JUST THINK IN THE VERY FIRST SENTENCE OF GENESIS, GOD CREATED BOTH TIME AND MATERIAL

IN THE BEGINNING (TIME STARTS)GOD CREATED (MATERIAL STARTS)THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.

It was said that the earth was void or empty. But the Spirit of the God moved over the face of the waters. If there is water in the beginning then the earth was not empty.
Darkness was upon the face of the deep. If there is depth, there is form.
Please explain, I am confused, thank you.

Surely God made a very big change in the beginning. There was nothing but GOD created everything. A big change really! What do you need to change in your life? Just contemplate.

I think the First Light shone on the universe is Christ when we consider John 1:4,9 and verse 23 of Revelation 21. He is God Himself in relation to man and the universe.

Seems like no one here bothered to read Wesley's notes. Try reading it again. I think it answers all questions

Josh. You ask if the water has always been here. No it hasn't. God created it in verse 1 just before "His spirit moved upon the face of the waters"

I BELIEVE SO-AMAZING!

Praise the Lord. God forgive me all that I had done and every thought that has ran through my mind I wish not to disappoint you again. AMEN.

"And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Now THIS part of the verse REALLY confuses me. Notice it says he moved upon the face of the waters. It doesnt say he CREATED the water, so does that mean its ALWAYS been here?

Genesis 1 paints a perfect creation and to me, that's incredible.

The Father, Son , And the Holy spirit

Praise the Lord.

They were in a fig grove. Wernt no apples. They hid there private parts. Not there lips of mouth. The serpent that old dragon the devil had sex with them and guess who showed up,Cain.

The account of the fiirst verse is 45:18. The fiirst beginning and Peter spoke of the world of old and the one that was.

When reading this chapter I would go read other accounts of the beginning. Isaiah 44:18 Job 38 and proverbs 8:22 to 31. Also the first flood Jeremaih 4 about half way to the end of the chapter. We were all here in our spirit bodies. Same form, different puddy. God is a consuming fire, Hebrews 12.

Genesis 1, the writer written messages that God is a spirit come from the deep darkness when the earth still void and no form of evolution, then later his spirit of life started from water.

The writer have analogy meaning god created light and darkness. This meant the sun and moon, the fire flames to used in the dark. Jesus created as a lightbearer on earth.

It was a law in an ancient tribe to be fruitful
and multiply if happenned the tribe fell off in enemy's hand and become slaves. It was a customary law that chief wifes and chief husband can had many concubines as many as they could for the purpose of federation of kingships and join the federations for wars.

Men as a servants of god do not know how to killed even for food. Men created in the image of god in the likeness of god, and eat only fruits, herbs and vegetables.

God created him, and from him god created male and female.

God can talks to the writer. And the writer was telling us God created the heaven and earth before us, or before anything else. The writer meant God is the beginning of all the living and non-living things on earth. And from the water god started new form of life and the creation. God created man in his image and dressed of Tunic skin and sent in the eastward of Eden.

The Genesis is a beginning of why there were wars of god in the bible and how the religion and wars begin. It's all begin in the evolution of life in water. Then the air and the land. The planting in the garden of eve where fruits were signifies event. And apple was the most sacred and forbidden fruits and holy. In the garden what god refers to Adam and Eve, that the apple who was centered in the middle was sacred, this apple tree and fruit, the slave people were not allowed to touch or eat it, only the gods and godesses. Eve accepted the apple as a symbol as a signed accepting the proposal of the serpent tribe. A tribe that god appointed and created as his own domain. Then Adam that was Eve, the chief or captain of all her husband also encouraged to accept and choose the apple offered by the godesses and the aple that Adam choose created wars and disturbance, created, pestilence, drought, famine and havoc, cursed to Adam and Eve's wives, husbands and childrens that their descendants suffered.
