Genesis Chapter 2 Discussion Page 8

It's amazing to read comments on bible verses and how people are able to support their doctrine with other verses .

Just about anything can be made a doctrine easily .

Let's get back to the teaching of the Holy Spirit . Look up a man George Muller of Bristol, he did just that , he put away all the teachings of men and just Trusted God to give him the understanding. Look what Mullers accomplishments with this method of obeying the word of God , worth checking out . Lots on the net about him , his testimony is obeying the scriptures.

Jesus on this rock I build my church and the gate of hell want prevail against it

God gave them a warning. God loves us so much that he is letting us make the choice.

Because he wanted us to choose him. He didn't want a bunch of robots.

Because it was a test of loyalty

why did god not stop eve from eating the fruit? i ask this because god is supose to know everythin right?

Are you thinking of the "Search the Bible" box? If so, it is in the upper left-hand corner of KJB Online's Main Page. If you're corresponding with someone on a matter on the Discussion Page, it's a good idea to open a new page where you can do your Bible Word or Text Search to assist you.

though I think there was, at some point, link to search particular bible terms on this site I can no longer find it. For Example, it would be a good feature if one could type in the word 'knowledge' and see where and how often that word occurs bible wide- I might have overlooked just such a feature. Can anyone help?

For ALL have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. The commandments to Love our Lord with all and to Love one another, on these hand ALL Laws and ALL PROPHETS!

May the truth find you and set you free

Galatians 3:28

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus

when we are born again, WE ARE ADOPTED INTO OUR LORD!

Romans 8:15

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father

We are one in CHRIST JESUS

Genesis 2

God blessed the Sabbath day and made

Two trees to choose the right displayed

Or wrong. God gave marriage to be

Gauge of His love eternally.

The breath of life, from God into Adam ( Gen 2:7), became Adam's own spirit.

The Hebrew word "naphach", which is translated as "breathed", can mean breathed or to blow into, or to inflate. The Hebrew word "neshamah", which is translated as "breath", refers to vital breath of inspiration, and is also translated as "spirit" in other Old Testament verses such as in Proverbs 20:27, which states "The spirit ("neshamah") of a man is the candle of the Lord". From the meanings of these Hebrew words, the phrase "breathed into his nostrils the breath of life", from Genesis 2:7 can be restated as "blew into his nostrils the spirit of life". We know Adam's spirit - the breath from God, is what gave him life. Another words, Adam's spirit entering his body from God's breath (or "spirit"), started his heart to beat, and then, Adam's spirit flowed into his bloodstream, causing Adam to become a living soul ( Gen. 2:7). As you can tell from my explanation, God breathed Adam's spirit into him, and, as a result, Adam's soul was created. Some feel that this verse merely says that Adam came to life, but let's take a closer look. How do I know his spirit entered his bloodstream? That word "soul" is translated from the Hebrew word "Nephesh". There is another reference in the Bible, at Leviticus 17:11, which states: For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Another reference is at Deuteronomy 12:23, which also indicates that "the blood is the life". However, in both of these verses, it is also the word "Nephesh", which is, in fact, translated "life", instead of "soul", as it's translated in Genesis 2:7. In Deuteronomy 12:23, God is telling Moses not to allow the people to eat the blood of animals, because "the blood is the soul". Leviticus 17:11 declares that "the soul of the flesh is in the blood".

Wow, God is so amazing, he wants the best for us.

Thankyou. Merry Christmas. Peace Be With You.

In my understanding, the examples of 'God' in Genesis 2:2, is in the Hebrew, 'Elohim'. This word has a number of meanings & applications, as referring to the true God, or gods, or judges, rulers, etc. Here in Genesis & elsewhere where it's clearly in reference to the God of Heaven, then the word means that God is defined as Almighty, Everlasting & Unchangeable One.

When we look at verse 4, 'LORD God', the Hebrew is 'Yahweh', which defines Him as a Personal, self existent God, the Author of all things, gives expression & effect to His Plans & maintains a relationship with His creatures. So, in using the 'LORD God', or 'Yahweh Elohim', we learn of the fullest expression of Almighty God. Now why the writer has deemed it necessary to use the different Name of God in this context, I cannot tell as there seems to our understanding some inconsistency in their use throughout Scripture.

As far as John chapter 1 & the 'Word of God', here we see that this God ('Theos', a general word for God) has expressed Himself by His Word ('logos', a speech, a Divine utterance) & also by His Spirit (as in Matthew 3:16). So God has always existed & never changed throughout eternity. But at the appointed time ( Romans 5:6), God sent out His Word, giving His Word a body of flesh, for the purpose of bringing God's Message directly to His people (just as the prophets of old did), but this time to do what the Law couldn't do ( Romans 8:3). And that was the giving of the ultimate Gift to man: that God in the flesh (Jesus) would Himself lay down His Life for His people's (& our) redemption.

Why does Genesis chapter 2 begin with GOD did then Switch the name to The LORD GOD? Later GOD is referred to as The Word. I'm aware John 1 refers to the WORD and GOD being the same. Why does Genesis 2 change names? Is GOD and Lord God refering different aspects or just interchangable names before Jesus became flesh?

He is our frist kinda savoir

To have The Bible opening every morning 1st before anything else is submitted to this Device The entire book from beginning to end

Genesis 1:27-28 he created Adam first then Eve Verse 31 he saw everything he had made.

According to Genesis 1:20-31, the fish & the fowls were created on the fifth day of creation, and the land animals & Adam were created on the sixth day. After all this, did Eve appear ( Genesis 2:21-25), created out of Adam.

Of the two choices in your question, my preference would be the latter: to wait on the Lord for His provision. And more so, if your first option to actively look for a spouse, entails much 'Church-hopping' or registering on various Christian dating sites. I feel that if our Christian life requires an ongoing vibrant trust in the Lord in all His provisions for us, then there should be little difference when the need is for a spouse. The Lord is aware of all we need & He certainly provides for us in the right measure at the right time; our faith in Him to give what is best for us has to also instil peace in us that He will do it.

I don't believe this waiting on the Lord indicates any laziness on our part, as those who are of such disposition or procrastinators: 2 Thessalonians 3:10. I believe that the Lord delights when His children look to Him & wait upon Him for His very best. My wife & I married in our early 40s (a first marriage for both of us). And we both believed that the Lord had called us to singleness, as she cared for her elderly widowed Father & I in ministry in Pakistan & then in India. Yet, we have proven Proverbs 16:9: that as we plan our course, it is the Lord Who directs our steps.

A senior brother in Christ had called me over to help in teaching about Islam to young Christian Brethren gathered from various assemblies throughout India. They were being prepared to be sent out to serve short-term in various parts of India as evangelists. I also had the responsibility of keeping the Mission's accounts. The 'steps' I took towards that ministry led me to my future wife's home as I had to deliver a letter from her aunt. I was also able to stay in an upstairs room of her home & was able to assist her Dad when she had to be away. So as things progressed in our friendship, we realized that our meeting at this time was of the Lord & we clearly sensed that this was His Plan for our marriage. We've been happily married for almost 25 years, now in retirement.

Did God create the animals before Eve? In other words, was Eve last?

I see your view, Melissa, "In September 2016 the American Government guaranteed Israel $50 billion of military assistance over the next 10 years."

But this is not mentioned in the Scriptures. All we know is that the woman in Revelation 12:1 represents Israel, who gave Christ to the world ( Rev. 12:5) and who will be persecuted severely during the tribulation ( Rev. 12:13).

Question: Are we supposed to be actively looking for a spouse, or waiting for God to bring a spouse to us?

I have long believed, even before I married, that I as a Christian bachelor the Lord would bring me a woman to marry. I based this on

Genesis 2:22, "And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man."

And it happened almost this way. As a bachelor and single pastor of a small Bible church in southeast Wisconsin, I would take our youth group to a Friday night "Lighthouse" gathering to enjoy music, food, and fellowship with a mixed group of teens and young adults. I played the guitar upfront and my wife-to-be, Phyllis, played the piano. She was good; they called her "Piano Phyllis."

That's where we met and eventually married. I asked the highly respected matron of "The Lighthouse" (formerly, "The Stained Glass Window," both meeting in 2 different churches) if this prospective bride would make a good wife. She said "yes." And the rest is history. I now have a wonderful wife!

Genesis 2:25

"And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed."

They lost innocence's they lost what kept them unashamed.

who is the woman that flees on eagle wings? Is it Israel being protected by U.S. ?

Thank you for taking the time to make this reply. It is nice to see others affirming unpopular, yet Biblical truths.

May the Lord bless you as well.

-you're brother in Christ.

Samira, since you've received other responses, I too will add to them to give you some balance & confirmation of your belief. What you read from the Bible & from your own understanding of the two great lights in the heavens, is correct. The Sun, being a gaseous star, produces its own heat & light from nuclear fusion of hydrogen & helium gases. The moon, like the Earth, is just a great big lump of rock, & produces no light of its own but simply reflects sunlight. Just as viewing the Earth from the Moon or from space, the Earth will give off light, but again, not its own light, but reflected light from the Sun.

If this were not the case with the Moon, then the phases of the Moon that we see should just be an optical illusion. But the phases prove that there is something hiding a part of the Moon (i.e. the Earth's spherical shadow). If it were not so, then the Moon should constantly reveal to us here on Earth, a fully lit ball, if it indeed emitted its own light.

And Genesis 1:16, the Hebrew word for 'Light' (maor) is translated 'luminary'. This allows for both the Sun & Moon to either generate their own sources of light or to be reflectors of it. God had provided mankind a light source for both day & night, even if it is only a reflected light from the Moon.

Hello Drew,

Glad to see a brother in flat earth. As this was the beginning of my journey to the Lord. Being led, in a journey, to the truth of our earth. Which led me to read the Bible leading me to Jesus Christ. One thing I've tested myself, as seen, pertaining to the moon shedding it's own light. Taking a temperature gun on a full moon night and seeing several degrees cooler temperatures, on a surface, in the moon light. From what was shadowed from the moonlight. Proving the light from the moon is a cooling light.

Amen brother. Blessings

The moon is not reflected light. It is a separate and distinct light source. Sometimes it can be seen that the sun and moon are visible in opposite ends of the sky simultaneously during an eclipse. The Bible contains no errors. Research our flat earth reality. Read "Heaven & Hell" by Gabrielle Henriet.

"And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also." GENESIS 1:16 KING JAMES HOLY BIBLE
