Discuss Genesis 1 Page 97

Between verse 1and2 something happen. Earth was created then destroy then recreated

Perhaps too much is being made of Genesis Ch1 Verse 3 "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." I don't think God means that he created 'a light' at this point but only created the concept of light to act to push back the darkness. Perhaps the light, after he creates it, comes from his glory. Much the same way a worker might turn on a desk lamp to light his workbench.

First love that God had to man kind

Genesis

God created water to to reveal a reflection and the moment prior to his creating man

Creating man he saw his divine reflection on the water and so in his image man was created in the of God divine

Trent Jesus said search the scriptures in them you think you have eternal life but it is them that testify of me, no eternal life in written words its the words of Christ that are spirit and life. The written word can be molested but tHE living word cannot be molested as the living WORD IS GOD,THUS THE WRITTEN WORD ANSWERS TO THE LESSER LIGHT BUT THE GREATER LIGHT IS CHRIST JESUS TH DAY STAR, SON.

Lesser light = the moon, Greater light = the sun. Daylight is warming, moonlight (reflected sunlight) is not. Simples.

And the guy who said "written word" for moolight but "living word" for sunlight doesn't get that THE ENTIRE BIBLE IS THE LIVING WORD. Words spoken can be forgotten or mixed up, written words are living as they can live forever - the bible, any book, is the same story for us all!

Sorry it was MOSES THAT BY FAITH ENDURED AS SEEING HIM THAT IS INVISIBLE.

The City had no need of The Sun, neither of The Moon to shine in it: for The Glory of God did Lighten it and The Lamb is The Light thereof. Christ is not The Sun. His Light can not be Seen with Our Eyes.

God made 2 lights th lesser light and the greater light. THe lesser light answers to the written word but the Greater light answers to the LIVING WORD which is CHRIST Th light of the world.ITS like the manna which was from heaven BUT JESUS SAID THAT THERE WAS NO ETERNAL LIFE IN THE MANNA,THE BIBLE IS PRECIOUS AND HOLY BUT THERE IS NO ETERNAL LIFE IN THE BIBLE ONLY. TH GREATER LIGHT IS THE SON/SUN

In verse 3 ..And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. what kind of light he was talking about maybe Jesus ? obviously is not the light of the sun, because not until verse 14,15,16,17 and 18 God created the Sun , The Moon and the stars. so right at the beginning of creation god created a "light" in verse number 3.

Bro. Alex I do agree w/you on the quoted Joel 2:28-29 speaks of an out pour of the Holy Spirit. Again, Noah's Flood in the OT is literally a flood. I assumed her question spurred from Noah's Flood (Gen) the judgment on the earth for sin. Her question: Since the earth was flooded, how would the sinful earth be addressed next time? 2Peter 3:10. If I misread her question my apologies to you and her.

I am created in the image and likeness of God, that is Powerful. To Have Dominion OVER things of the air and the Earth. I pray such words will sink into inner being.

Cain's wife would've obviously been one of his sisters, based on a lack of options. GOD allowed this I believe the DNA then was strong enough to allow this for a time. Adam Eve lived a very long time and had many generations of children beyond Cain, Able and Seth, as expressed in Genesis 5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:

Lorease Jesus said as the DAYS OF NOAH SO SHALL THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE IMPLING A 2 ND FLOOD OF HIS SPIRIT I WILL POUR OUT OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL FLESH BUT WE USE WATERS AS SYMBOLIC OF HIS SPIRIT JUST AS THE WATERS OF NOAH TOOK THEM ALL AWAY HIS SPIRIT IS GONNA TAKE US ALL AWAY A RAPTURE. KNOWLEDGE SHALL COVER THE EARTH AS THE WATERS/SPIRIT COVER THE SEAS. THINK IN THE SPRITUAL REALM LOREASE

Lorensa Jesus uses Noahs flood as symbolic of a Greater flood coming BY HIS SPIRIT I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT ON ALL FLESH AS THEY WERE ALL TAKEN AWAY BY THE FLOOD , ALL OF HUMANITY WILL BE RAPTURED BY HIS SPIRIT, KNOWLEDGE SHALL COVER THE EARTH AS THE WATERS COVER THE SEAS AND HE SHALL LEAD THEM TO FOUNTAINS OF LIVING WATERS ETC,AND OUTTA OF THEIR BELLIES SHALL FLOW RIVERS OF LIVING WATERS A FLOOD

Alex, the Flood of Noah isn't symbolic it rained 40 days and 40 nights. You need to excise 2 Timothy 2:15.

Adrian IMO GOD DOES NOT WANNA DESTROY THIS BEAUTIFUL EARTH.ITS MANS CARNAL MIND THAT NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED OUR OLD ADAMIC NATURE IS THE OLD EARTH THAT NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED BY HIS BAPTISM OF FIRE, THE FLOOD OF YESTERYEAR IS JUST SYMBOLIC OF A SPRITUAL FLOOD OF HIS SPIRIT, I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT ON ALL FLESH WHICH IS THE FIRE OF GOD THAT IS GONNA MANS EVIL NATURE, OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE .

Funmilayo, He was there! Read about it in John 1. Jesus was the Word who became flesh and was indeed present as God at Creation. Never understood John 1 as a child so I was excited to finally grasp this concept as an adult.

@ Jan, Verse 30 says that the green herbs are food for the animals.
"And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat"
So... herb bearing seed and fruit from seed bearing trees for the human and green herbs for the animals.

Am confuse the bible said GOD said not JESUS were was him

You can go to Genisis 9 where after the flood God then gave permission to eat every moving thing.

I think the words "In the beginning" refers to our (human beings) history Only. I believe there are other histories we need not concern ourselves about. Angelic beings also has there own history because they existed even before the earth existed. So it will be gullible to think the first three word in genesis 1 is where it all started. What if our history is only one book in a vast library.

Ales - I won't try to change you, but you haven't moved me. ( Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us (US =plural) make man in our image, after our likeness:)
Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

This is something to consider: Genesis 1:1 says "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." But in John 1:3 Jesus says that he is the one who did this. So who is right?They both are because God is Jesus and Jesus is God. John 1:1 says it like this: "... and the Word was God." And too, this is what Thomas meant in John 20:28 when he called Jesus "My Lord and my God. Amen.

GODS WORD IS ABSOLUTE TRUTH

1 timothy 1-5

"and God separated light from darkness" I don't want to be part of darkness..

i think God on the first day when he said let there be light i think in the sense of reasoning his thought, design by which he determined structure of what the day would be. he created the light of the sun on the third day which is to give light on the earth

verse 29 Every herb bearing seed and fruit is human meat. What about verse 30 animal meat and fish meat are humans suppose to eat?
