Discuss Genesis 2 Page 18

"And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat

She has her eyes on death but sees the tree good for food.

Genesis 2:17

"But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

Genesis 2:18

"And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."

God wants good for man.

John 8:23



"And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world."

James 1:17

King James Version

17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Ephesians 1:18

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

Proverbs 4:20-27.

1 Thessalonians 2:13 | View Chapter | Context

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

John 1:1

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

Verse 18-Eve was to be a complement and as such she would have qualities that would work really well with Adam's qualities.

The Word of God is so timeless! I know sometimes, I get caught up on other chapters in the Bible, but it is always refreshing, to go back to the Book Of Genesis!, where it all began, it's like going back to the fundamentals of the faith. When I read the OT, I ask the Holy Spirit to see Christ!

Janice Lane,

Angels are described in Scripture as having light associated with their appearance or presence; Acts 12:7, 2 Corinthians 11:14, Revelations 18:1.

Again, I stated that Adam and Eve were AS angels of light; because they had not at that point in time sinned yet. They were as pure as a human could be. I never said I read that in Scripture.

I stated that the covering that God put on them MAY have been actual skin. I never said I read that in Scripture either.

Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing,

and obtaineth favour of the Lord.

Proverbs 18:22 | KJV

And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Matthew 19:4-6 | KJV

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

Colossians 3:18-19 | KJV

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

Hebrews 13:4 | KJV

Who can find a virtuous woman?

for her price is far above rubies.

Proverbs 31:10 | KJV

A man's heart deviseth his way:

but the Lord directeth his steps.

Proverbs 16:9 | KJV

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word.

Ephesians 5:25-26 | KJV

Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

1 Corinthians 7:2 | KJV

And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

Genesis 2:18 | KJV

When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.

Deuteronomy 24:5 | KJV

And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Genesis 2:22-24 | KJV

Wives, submit you

Sandra,

Concerning the 7th Day.

Most people use Sunday because they can't shake customs and traditions.

You are following the Sabbath day requirement because you feel compelled to.

The 7th day was established for ALL of mankind back on the 7th Day of Creation ( Genesis 2:2-3, Exodus 20:8-11, Exodus 34:21, etc. etc.) and was never abolished.

( Mark 2:27-28) "And he said unto them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath."

If we believe in the Father and His only begotten Son, then we have Christ in us every day, not just one day per week. This new understanding is an enhancement of the 7th day, not the abolishing of it. It was made to last forever.

This is a day that God BLESSED and SANCTIFIED! Christ always honored the Sabbath. The Apostles kept the Sabbath after the death of Christ; look at Acts 13:14, 27, 42, 44, Acts 16:13, etc.

Pentecost is a holy SABBATH day; i.e. a day of rest.

In Acts 17:2 and Acts 18:4, Paul is continually feeding the people Scripture on the SABBATH.

Christ never abolished the Sabbath.

God never said anything concerning that fact, and if He wanted that day changed, He would have made it abundantly clear.

Have you considered looking at the Dead Sea Scrolls?

The Book of Enoch, in particular, reveals a 364 day solar priestly calendar.

52 (weeks) x 7 = 364

The calendar begins after the Spring Equinox.

Look at the first book of Enoch; specifically, ch. 72, and ch. 82 (column 27) are words concerning the ancient solar calendar.

I accept that you did not say they were Angels of lights. But a lot of times when (as) is used in this manner it seems to, imply that a fact is being stated. Example: As the owner of the house, he/she may pick the style of decoration. But if you want to show simular traits you would use the word (like). Example: Like the owner of the house, the tenant may pick the style of decoration. This is why I thought you were stating a fact instead of making a comparison.

As far as the animal skins, I have heard that from preachers over the years. And for my education, where did you read in the Bible that Adam and Eve were as/like angels of light with God putting on them human skin after the fall?

That is a very good and truthful verse. We who live by faith & trust, in the Lord, flourish in keeping our peace. I'm sure all of us in Christ love you brother and you have our prayers. Also sorry to see you go. I myself will not argue with someone else but will try to plant a seed, of the Lord, whenever possible. As it is the Will of God if it grows or not. God Bless you Carleton!

You have to follow the leading of your heart, but you will be missed! There's always going to be attacks against anything that Jesus is involved in. Having done all, to stand. You and your precious family members, stand strong; know, that God goes before you.

Paul traveled, on foot, to many places. Spent over a decade out in the desert, alone with God. Learning, moment by moment, the beauty and majesty of the Lord Jesus. His infinite wisdom and care of us. Receive that love. We must not look upon the unraveling of the earth and it's inhabitants. All these things must happen just as it is. This is the hard part that Jesus said we must endure; climb on top of that and give praise to the Lord. What beautiful songs that He has given to you to cheer yourself in times of sorrow. Never stop singing. :)

I always tell myself, that the Lord will undergird and undertake the way ahead, when we are burdened in our souls. "All Souls Are Mine!" Saith the Lord. You are safe and secure. Commit your way to Him and He will lead you forward with His eye.

Just like Paul, return to see "how it goes" with those that you planted in. I pray that the Lord will be with you every moment and strengthen you.

You know I love to tell of Ezekials bones? If we speak to the bones in our lives, they will rattle about; and then they will stand up!!

An amazing army of people. Prophesy to the bones.

Peace be with you, Mishael.

I will see you again....

It will sad to see you leave brother. We have enjoyed your fellowship in the Word & heartened by your sincere pure love for the Lord & His people. May the Lord bless your life, your service to Him & encourage your spirit. Till we meet, whether in this life or in His Presence.

Most likely the right hand scripture always refers the right hand as good the left as bad Matthew 25.31-46 verse 33-34 And he shall set the sheep on his RIGHT hand but the goats on the LEFT 34 Then shall the king say unto them on his RIGHT hand Come ye blessed of my Father inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand Depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels

Most people say Jesus was pierced on his right side But the Scriptures do not specify which side

But I will Share this parallel of Adam to Jesus with you

God put Adam in to a deep sleep and Pierced his side and took one of his ribs and made a woman and Adam said this is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh she shall be called woman Because she was taken out of Man and she became his wife and they became one flesh

God put Jesus to death on the cross and his side was pierced and out came BLOOD and water ( John 19.34) And formed a church ( Eph 5) which is called the Bride of christ (verse 30) For we are members of his Body of His FLESH and of His Bones One Flesh which was called Christians ( Acts 11.26)

1Cor 15.45-47 The first man Adam was made a living Soul The Last Adam (Jesus) was made a Quickening SPIRIT

I pray that this helps you. may God bless you and your family always Jackie Bolin

The Lord just spoke to me clearly in this scripture below, so I must leave this website. I love you all that are in this race to the finish, in Jesus Christ and his Life eternal. Comfort one another and be Lambs with the true revelation of the harvest field. God Bless you in your faithfulness! Stay true Mishael!

This is the scripture:

Exodus 14:14

The LORD shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.

Carleton

:)

Dear Andy, I am not interested in your chapter 23 false gospel.

Carleton

The gospel you believe in is after man, as you follow after an image of a false god and a false Christ ( Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Rev. 12:9).

The gospel which is preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was i taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ ( Gal. 1:11,12; Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1).

Seek, and ye shall find ( Matthew 7:7).

In His Service.

what side of adam's body was his rib taken from to make woman?

Your answer typifies one that doesn't believe in the existence of God, nor of His Love in sending His Son as payment for the sins of those who repent & put their faith in Him. This would all be gobbledegook to you. So, it would be meaningless to you when a person who has been arrested in his spirit by the Spirit of God, made conscious of his sins & of being hell bound & through repentance has received a new life from God, speaks of such things as factual & not fanciful. The Bible records, as do Christians from past generations & present, that God is real & true & that He does intervene in their lives in very clear unmistakable ways. We have proven God's interest & activity in our lives, whether as a result of prayer or just in being His children walking on His Earth, to our complete satisfaction. I can't even begin to relate accounts of Divine intervention & help, when ordinarily things would have gone pear shaped.

Your opinions are appreciated, but in truth, you're expressing them in a medium that is full of current testimonies of God's Love & Faithfulness. But if & when the time comes, as appointed by God, for His revelation to come to you, you can be certain that that experience will be so overwhelming that all your beliefs & ideas will be cast out, as you see the One Who came to give His Life in your stead. But this can't come from your reasoning but from conviction in your spirit. We pray that you will be led aright in your earthly sojourn & that this God Whom you reject now will manifest Himself to you in a very special & specific way.

Hello sir. So the beginning of your statement has "I think" in it. So I would say that's nice instead of saying "I know" like a lot of other people do. One other thing at the end of your sentence that "God has never been shown to answer prayers". This is not true. I am just one living proof that God does answer prayers and can work miracles. And there is much more living proof in this world. God Bless you.

Contact the housing authority in the county you live in. The website may give you some ideas of which office to speak to.

See if you can find someone to. Ourselves you considering age, disability and employment if you are still working.

Some cities have hotlines like: 311, 211

Main thing is to calm yourself so you think about problems logically and with purpose.

There may be a church near you who will have someone who can counsel with you.

Repair your relationship with the Lord (use 1 John 1:9 as often as something comes to mind.) And ask him to give you ideas for your situation. Be still and listen for His Voice. "My Sheep hear My Voice"

Satans voice accuses, confuses and breeds fear. Learn how to talk back: "I rebuke you, Satan, in the Blessed Name of Jesus!" Get thee behind me, satan! Resist the Devil and he must FLEE!! Worship the Lord and Him only!

Keep it up and get your center back. Tell yourself, Fear Not. Make a plan and then follow it.

Call 1-800-700-7000 and let the ladies pray with you. Every day if you need to.

I don't think there is a god to answer you're prayers, either that or he/she/it does not care or has no power, or the will to help people out. This probably is not helpful to you but it kind of underlines the need to build a better, fairer society for us all rather than imagine that it will all be better if we just trust in a deity which has never ever manifested itself in the natural world and has never been shown to answer prayers.

I need a house ,you see I had a home but I had to foreclose on it ,now I'm on disability and my husband had a stroke so we need a home with separate shower walk in for him ,how can we get enough money to buy a home. I've been praying to the Lord but he's been silent .I told him my sins and I'm in great need. I don't know where I will get the money for a house,,will the Lord let me win the lottery? I have such bad luck lately ,I pray daily ,I would like to take my husband to the lordes rivet in Italy they say miracles are performed so he can get better. Please help

Again, most of you are commenting on future events. This is suppose to be about chap. 2 Gen.

Mark Padmore,

How do you know the coats of skin was animal skin?

Janice Lane,

I never said Adam and Eve were angels.

I said that Adam and Eve were "AS" angels of light; because they had not sinned yet.

I agree. Adam and Eve were humans.

The notion that Adam and Eve may have put on actual skin is an alternate idea to the coat of animal skin that I find to be possible. I am not saying that I know this to be fact.

I was not there. I do not know for sure. Do you?

From your responses, I will ask you the following:

Where does the Bible state that "this is the first blood sacrifice for the remission of sins"?

Where does the Bible state that the skin used to cover Adam and Eve came from an animal at all?

Where does the Bible state that a "ram" was the animal skin used for the covering?

Are you making assumptions?

@D.J, it's like you are not the kind of person to provide answer to my questions. You make reference of Gen. 3:21 which only tells us about the Lord God making "coats of skin (animals wool/skin) for their clothing and not literal flesh or augmentation of the already existing physical human body. I think I've got the understanding of this verse. It's simply that MAN DID NOT KNOW SHAME. There was no one that they could have been shied in front of. It was after the eating of the Tree of Good and Evil that their eyes were exposed to "shame", in the presence of the subtle serpent (the devil). Research shows that there are people of this nature that still exist in some parts of the world who live in the wild.

To Membranes,

You are correct. Membrane is not a word found in the Bible.

But nobody said it was in the Bible, and who cares what google says.

Not sure where you are going with the "female" statement.

Adam and Eve were not angels of light. They were human.

The skin that was added to cover their nakedness was animal skin. This was the first blood sacrifice for the remission of sin. I believe it was a ram. that was slain.

Read Gen 1:28. God made male and female and told them to be fruitful and multiple.

The word Membrane, is not in the Bible. Google has no membrane teaching from the Bible either.

If we cannot back something up in the scripture, it is a teaching you need to let go. Don't teach that to others.

The female body was created with a hymen. To prove virginity; and to prevent disease.
