Bible Discussion Thread

In response to some of the comments ( I did not read all of them) Genesis ( and any book of the bible for that matter) should not be read scientifically but spiritually. God's word is alive and it's meant to speak to us in deeper meanings than just understanding something that happened. The bible says that the old testament was a foreshadowing of things to come in the new testament. This chapter shows the beauty of salvation that God had planned from the beginning. Light often times is referred to as God and darkness to sin or death. As far as God saying 'let us' and 'our' goes, this is called a majestic plural. Plural is defined as 'consisting of, containing, or pertaining to more than one.' I hope that this commenter is not suggesting that there is more than one God the bible clearly states that there is only one God: Deut 6:4; 1 Corinth 8:6; 1 Tim 3:16 john 1-15 (this is also a reference to the light discussion for genesis)
