Discuss Genesis 8 Page 3

What does it meen 'on the 601 year?

. No. back in those days they had to sacrifice a lamb to take away the sins of the people

Genesis 8:21

"And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done."

King James Version (KJV)

John 3:3

"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

Daniel 12:11- What is the daily sacrifice Daniel is talking about? When the daily sacrifice is abolished....is that our prayers to God?

Our Lord often referred to Himself as the Son of Man.

Our Lord is the Son of Man because He was born.

And by one man who was not born by this man's disobedience we all die.

But by one Man who was born by this Man's righteousness death was overcome.

Consider the greatness of Adam.

Adam was not born.

Adam is not the Son of Man.

Adam is a son of God.

And Adam having not been born is greater than us all.

Thus Adam chosen that in Adam we all die and in Adam we are all on probation with God upon the condition of repentance.

But consider our Lord Jesus Christ who like all of us was born.

Only Christ was born in righteousness and having no disobedience even unto the suffering of the cross by which He partook of that bitter cup the unborn man Adam could not bear and brought us the better even the first resurrection.

For Jesus Christ is greater than Adam.

Jesus Christ is the greatest of all.

I read something last night just really endeared The Lord to me. It was after the flood and Noah and his family were leaving the Ark.

I was reading & noted Genesis 8:20-22 and 9:8-17

In verse 21-22: And the Lord Smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said IN HIS HEART, I will not again curse the GROUND anymore for mans sake, for the imaginations of mans heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite anymore every thing living, as I have done.

While the earth remaineth seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat; and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. ( Jeremiah 33:25)

The token of the covenant of is the rainbow.

There was no anger. Sorrow in his heart.

What hurts us, hurts him.

How many times have we wept; why is this happening to me? Why didn't You stop it?

How so the earth groans for it's redemption. As should we all...

Shannon, I think that this verse is meant to show that God forbids the making of any graven image that represents any creature in His creation. If it does mean something specific, as you suggest, there could be some reference to Genesis 8:2: "The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained". And this reference mentions that at the time of Noah's drifting on the flooded Earth, God stopped the rain & the waters that came from below the Earth.

So, if there was some type of body of water under the Earth at that time, there may be some who believed in some 'mythical' creatures also in existence there, & which could be represented as idols on Earth. So God forbad the making of any image, whether real or imaginative. All speculation on my part, of course.

Genesis 7:4

Genesis 7:12

Genesis 8:2

you seem to be and I would say that you are right on; but I don't know how long that was after Adam as I have never read the verses between Adam and that flood; and it probably does not list every generation and maybe only the relevant ones. very interesting

Yes, at the beginning ,mankind was perfect, the gene pool was pure. But over time God established His laws for procreation due to the accumulated mutations occurring genetically. Obviously, He had a plan!

God put everything on a cycle, a calendar, with seasons, to give us variety and a way to mark time. What a great God we have.

Noahs sons had their wifes on the ark.

If the two birds could not find a place to land, then they had to return to the ark. Later one did not return to the ark so Noah knew the water was going down for at least a tree was out of the water.

Genesis 1:1 says "in beginning" in the original language. So He created TIME. He created it for us. He himself lives outside the boundary of time. He sees history from the alpha to the omega. It is recorded in His book. He knows the day of our birth and the day of our death. If we cry, the tears are saved. Not only did He create time; but He established force, action and matter. Four things all scientists seek to discover and explain. God is the most fascinating person I know. I can't wait to know more about Him. I can only hope others will pursue to know more and share it with others. I love this website! I want to read what you've discovered too.

It was quite a long time since I did that study. I had a lot of questions about the genealogies; time periods and the ages of people. The evidence of incest was apparent. I continued reading and noted that incest was dealt with.
In Genesis when God was creating, He pronounced it good. That communicates to me that it was not imperfect or damaged. I accept that but as time passes, we can see breakdowns in the creation. I know God did not do that. The only other reason is sin. I'm not saying wild, wanton sin. It trickled down from Adam & Eve's sin. God gave us medicine & knowledge of its use to help people. God has recorded all our days. He will wipe away all our tears and our fears.

Sorry Mickey -- I didn't see the statement you were referring to. Maybe you could point it out -- or better yet -- direct me to a Bible passage that expalins it a little better.
Meanwhile, I got a little more curious, and looked into archiological digs that revealed the DNA of ancient people to be consistent with ours. Your private God conversations are telling you to go along with the idea that God gave everyone a pass on suffering from recessive gene disorders, but it's still hard -- at least from an empirical perspective. It's kinda like we went through a period of time wherein 2 plus 2 didn't have to equal 4 for awhile.

I read that as a new Christian and was disturbed of course. I asked God to explain it. Incest was tolerated for a period of time UNTIL the LAW was delivered to people after the flood. Then there were laws given explicitly to stop that. If you read it from start until the laws were given you will see it.

Noah inbreeding is true however the world then was different and the DNA problems as today may not have existed.
The Lord provides and decides.

An acquaintance described a likely outcome from the story of Noah that I had not taken seriously up until now -- one of inbreeding. If at the end of the flood, all we had was Noah, his wife, and his sons and their wives -- the only way we could have grown the world's population after that would be for the family and the children of the family to procreate with each other -- which causes inbreeding without any know exception. Hmmm....

In the 601st year of Noahs life not the earth.

Genesis 8:22 View whole chapter See verse in context
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Thanks for your question.
I have had that same question explained to me as follows :
1) as with most of the Bible : it's good to read verses even Chapters before and after. : Genesis 7, 8
2) In this case, the significance of the safety of Noah to return on land was in the Dove the following verse. Genesis 8:8
I was told a raven is a perching bird & bird of prey, however a dove walks on ground like closely related pigeon. I have not studied it further.
Hopefully this helps you as much as it helped me!
Thank you for your thought provoking question
Btw. Birds are referenced many times throughout the Holy Bible , that might be an intertesting subject study.

A sweet aroma/savor to the Lord, I believe speaks of a deed that is done freely because you love the Lord. It is done in faith to honor Him. It is pleasing and desired by God. Genesis 8:21, calls it a soothing aroma. It is an act of devotion, or love.

I counted about (45) in my Strongs Exhaustive Concordance of The Bible : it means
Aroma; pleasing & acceptable:fragrance (sacrifices acceptable to God)

Genesis 8:21
Exodus 29:18
Exodus 29:25
Leviticus 1:9
Numbers 15:3
2 Corinthians 2:15

Hopefully that's helpful :)

Can someone explain verse 7of ch 8

Isaiah 7:14, Psalm 22"16-18, Genesis 8:1-33, Micah 5:2, Hosea 11:1

Blessings and love to every brother and sister in Jesus Christ for 2020!! Lets pray for each other continually, let us watch the signs of the coming of our Lord and Savior and increase our knowledge in the Word of God to be able to give answer to those who are hopeless... God bless you all...

To be exact, the flood waters were on the earth one year and two months, that is the last mention of waters being dried up... God bless...

Good day miss Smith, i would like to ask you to read chapter 15 until 17 again and then reconsider your opinion on what God has commanded... I hope you see God commands Noah to bring forth 'every living thing', including his family which God already mentions in the verse prior... God bless you all...

Yes the whole did covered by water in the flood because because my Bible the Book of Truth tells me so.

Stanjett-Yes the world that was the first earth was destroyed by flood when Satan was defeated katabol . Gen1:2. The earth was became void and was restored for God's creation to be inhabited. Satan tried to take over the Mercy Seat and God destroyed all that was evil. Gen 1:3 starts the 2nd earth age- where we are now. The Eternity starts the third age after the white throne judgement. 3 ages
