27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.? But, He already made man in verse 7. So. He created another man?

Some scholars say that the first male and female in Genesis 1:27 created he them was the Lord creating the souls.
Adam did not have a body till later when the Lord took the dust of the earth and breathed into it
the breath of life in Genesis 2:7.

Have you ever watched a movie and they have flash backs? This is what happened in Gen. Read ahead and you will see what I'm talking about. First God said he created man and later He tells how He created them.

Just good writing techniques. 1st we say what we are going to say and then we say it. One tells you things; and 2 tells you more about those things; and the writer does not have to tell us everything. God may have known our questions but if He had answered them all; the Bible would be mighty big, so big, you would never be able to read it all and so we would still not know the answer to our question; Maybe so big, it would confuse scholars as it sometimes does today. So the scholars and preachers read it but they may not know the answers to our questions. We can however discuss the Bible, but also we should take it by Faith.
