Genesis Chapter 1 Discussion Page 33

In verses 26 it reads let's make man in our image and verse 27 it reads God made man in his own image. What is meant by " our image" and " God's image"?

I love the hymn,

"SIX DAYS OF LABOR NOW ARE PAST"

"God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good." Genesis 1:31

Six days of labor now are past;

Thou restest, Holy God;

And of Thy finished work has said,

That all is very good.

Charles Coffin 1736

OJB

And G-d saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was tov me'od (very good). And the erev and the boker were Yom Shishi (Day Six, the Sixth Day).

RSV

And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

RSVCE

And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

TLV

So God saw everything that He made, and behold it was very good. So there was evening and there was morning-the sixth day.

VOICE

Then God surveyed everything He had made, savoring its beauty and appreciating its goodness. Evening gave way to morning. That was day six. -- This one I like best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Steven, sorry for such a late reply. I Prayed for you tonight and will continue to pray for you. feel free to open up on this site there is a lot of guys here that I'm sure that will love to help you God bless you

I am in the same boat with you, I will not stop praying because our Father is the only one that can take this away. God Bless you in every aspect of you mind, body and soul! Remember......He never leave, we leave him!

In 1 Corinthians 13:8-13, the Apostle Paul speaks about the relatively short life span of the spiritual gifts, whether prophecies, other tongues, knowledge, etc - gifts that will one day be superseded by 'perfection'. All that the Church has been given has been for its establishment & growth, but we have to confess, the full & complete expression of those gifts has never been fully realized. In the light of Divine Love, these other things will one day become obsolete - Love alone will always stand true & lasting.

In verse 12, Paul speaks about our vision being limited & lacking clarity, as one from those early days looking at himself in an unrefined mirror. But the day will come, says Paul, when our vision & understanding will no longer be limited but clear as our understanding of all things will be made perfect or complete. When will that time be? This is where commentators may differ: suggestions of the complete Word of God given to us (we know more by it now than the early Church which only had the OT Scriptures); others have suggested that when we see Jesus or more likely when we're lifted up from this earthly limiting plane, into the heavenly, when all knowledge of all things will be ours: "then shall I know even as also I am known (by Jesus)."

corinthians 13:10 meaning?

I like it! You are so smart! But I want it to be all New English not Old English. Genesis up to Revelation. OK? Thank you!

Are we talking physically or spiritually ?

Physically Cain came from Adam and Eve. Spiritually I John 3:12 Not as Cain who was of that wicked one...

Jesus said to the Scribes and Pharisees ye are of your father the devil ... From a scriptural standpoint if you are not born of God spiritually your father is the devil or Satan. When a person becomes born again he is born into God's family and God is his Father.

Genesis 1 . 1

In the beginning GOD ......

The answer to many many questions if understood the infinite meaning of the opening statement of Gods word , love it !

Brandon,

Jesus prayed to the Father and asked him to sanctify them though the truth. Thy word is truth . To know who Jesus is you must trust the scriptures for the answers. You cant even trust your own thoughts because God tells us that his thoughts are not our thoughts.

John:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. [ Who made the world? ]

v11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. These verses are are a reference to Jesus Christ.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. In red letters Jesus said He is the Almighty

I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

The Almighty was dead when he took my place on the cross !

I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

Hope this helps

Thanks Rick,

I know its not the sun, moon or stars . If by spiritual light you mean understanding I don't believe that fits for two reasons . for one understanding was with Jesus Christ when he created the heavens and earth. And the second being that you were told that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth which is physical not spiritual . The closest thing to creating something spiritual would be man and even Adam was formed from the dust of the ground. I don't know what the light was or if it still exists but my guess would be it is some form of cosmic light.

It is spiritual light notice sun and stars and moon didn't come till later verses, neat isnt it.

I think this scripture is teaching us alot because man cant do what Goc do that is why every one schould serve him and give him all the glory

I am sorry that you are struggling with what many people are going through. It doesn't sound crazy at all, however, if that voice you hear is saying other things to get you to hurt yourself and others, seek professional help right away before it gets out of control. Even if you need to talk to someone, contact a church, because there are prayer lines that can assist, or just speak to a professional that can help you get through these tough days that we are in. Know that you are not alone, because there are wonderful professionals out here to help. Talk to a family member if available, because you don't have to go through this alone. Find Christian friends at a church to keep yourself occupied, because when you sit around, that allows thoughts to enter in our minds, so become active, get a hobby, read a book, listen to music, talk with family and friends on the phone, but try to keep busy and keep thoughts on positive things. For me I have no tv up in my home because it is too negative for me. Every time I turn it on there is nothing good on it but garbage. Keep yourself wrapped in the glory of Jesus Christ and HIS light, because when we do light comes upon us. May peace be in your home, the peace Jesus Christ promise and not the world. Blessings

I believe we will - if not at this side of the Rapture, then certainly on the other side, with our bodies changed from a corrupt state to a glorified state. But you know Grace, I really wonder whether being in the very presence of the Father & the Son will so enrapture us, causing us to be forever in praise, thankfulness & worship, that anyone or anything else would pale into insignificance around God's Throne.

If "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him", then how much more will be the sight of our loving Heavenly Father & of His Glory & of His Son, so consume our attention & devotion.

Will we recognize each other in heaven!

What is the light in Genesis 1 v3

Be strong and hold on to HIS hands, because Jesus Christ will never let your hands go. I am not sure what exactly is going on in your life, but just know you are loved by Our Father in Heaven. Remember in the beginning of the bible where God said "Let there be" and it was so? Yah or our Lord gives us that same power because we are made in His image. Sometimes we all wonder what is taking God so long to answer our prayers. I have learned that it is not my timing, and my ways are not His ways. I have learned to let things go and give it to the Almighty. We always want to be in control, because we often think that we know all the answers to life. We all need to step back and let God/Elohim take control of the wheel. Wow was that hard for me and that is my biggest struggle, but I am doing it, giving it all to Yah, just like I pray you and others are. Stay safe and may the Lord bless you and keep you and give you strength and give you peace. Shalom.......blessings and praises to Yah

In Genesis 1:28:And God blessed them, and God said unto them,

Be fruitful, and multiply, and REPLENISH the earth, and subdue it.

Does this not indicate that there had been persons on the earth before?

Thank you.

I agree, that is something hard to understand when so much of the creation & the creature declares the supreme presence of a Being Who only could undertake this great task. To say that things just happened out of nothing requires a whole lot more faith. After reading what you wrote, I thought of that great quote by Pres. Abe Lincoln, though he himself did not claim to be a Christian, yet demonstrated wonderful thoughts & attributes that would have brought him much closer to the Lord, I would think.

He once said, "I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how a man could look up into the heavens and say there is no God."

And dear brother, you WILL get to Heaven: your faith in Christ's work at the Cross, your new nature in Christ, the Spirit's indwelling you, is the guarantee of your redemption. God will not undo or sideline what He has done for you & in you - His Work was too great & too costly for any errors or shortcomings.

Ephesians 1:13,14: "In whom (Jesus) ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were SEALED with that holy Spirit of promise; which is the earnest (guarantee, promise) of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory." You belong to the Lord & nothing, but nothing, can separate you from His Love.

To say that Jesus is only a created son of God is to misunderstand that OF God is something that never happened before and trintarians don't seem to be able to grasp that .

The argument that Jesus is only a man or like a prophet, of old or Jesus is God in the flesh . Both views are extremely in error . Jesus is the Son of God like no other . God being with him was exhibited in his life death and ressurection .

These to me are men's confused views both wrong or out of balance . Jesus is the Son of God . And if understood very clear and simple .

That is something that I just cannot understand why so many people believe this world evolved and not created by God? This world is so complex and all it takes for me is to just look at it and the Sun. This world has millions of very complex creatures including billions of humans that are different and the Sun has burned at the correct temp. to keep everything on Earth alive and has never ever ran out of fuel!! Never even ran low every since the day it was created so tell me how many things that burn never run out of fuel, non of them they all have to have fuel but the Sun!! Just take a good look at it and if you do not see it was created by God then I am sorry for you. God created the Heavens and the Earth and I so hope I will get to go to Heaven forever and ever! Amen and thank you Jesus and thank you God!!

I believe there is a psalm, not sure, but it's something to the effect of this, "I heard your prayers all along, I never did not hear you, I answer prayers in my time, not yours"

Does this sound right? Any psalms to that effect or where could find it? Tyvm
