Discuss Genesis 1 Page 163

I have been told there were beings before Adam and Eve. And God was not pleased with them. They were not made in God’s image. True or false?

It is very hard for me to understand, was the water frozen? Was all the earth cool, it was without form.

It pains to see that we deviated from God`s original plan for our lives. I wish we all return and beg God for his mercies.

According to verse 26, God created us in his own image and this shows us that he want us to be like him even in heart. He also gave dominion over the earth meaning that we don't have to fear anything because Greater is He that is in us than the one the world.

When you read the second verse and if you look up the word "was" code # 1961 in the Exhaustive Strong's Concordance you will find out that the word "was" is become or meaning became, so the earth became without form and void. It wasn't created that way. It became that way and that happened in Jeremiah 4:22-27. Read the word and look at things for yourself and don't listen to men.

Heaven, as the firmament in Genesis 1:6-8, is interpreted by some as the sky, and it is also understood by some as spiritual Heaven, a spiritual firmament. The waters that Heaven divides that are above and below may also be interpreted as spiritual waters.

This chapter is about the beginning. Everything is the first; All new. Just as a painter putting paint to a fresh clean canvass. I am in awe, that the world was "spoken" into being. That man was "spoken" into being. And that His plan was preordained when He created it.

Our God speaks life, his word is the word of life.

The light I feel God is speaking of is the separation from the light and darkness. I think of this light spoken of is goodness and badness. Like in the scriptures as you read verses you will notice that solar children are separated from the lunatics or children of darkness. A lot happens in these first few verses of the word of God. Isaiah 45:18 is the first verse. Then a war happened because of Ezekiel 28 and what Satan as the prince of Tyrus and Revelation 12:4 and we know who the stars are by reading Job 38:7 and Proverbs 8:31. So, in these first few verses Satan tried attempted overthrow and had stolen a third of God's children and God got mad and the destruction is in Jeremiah 4:22-27. Then God separated the light from the darkness so I think He separating good from evil. Then He begins to re-new the earth as it was and we were replenished in the flesh to see if we can be good enough to make it home. Judgment is in our hands, you could say because what you do on earth this time is how your ending will be. Thank God for the LORD Jesus Christ and through Him we can be forgiven. Them that don't think Jesus is who the Word says He is, well, I feel sorry for them because He is the only WAY.

Whatever God did, he made sure that it was good before proceeding to the next task. And because he lives in us, we should also make sure that whatever we do is good before we move on to the next task.

The light spoken of in Genesis 1:3 has been the subject of commentaries, which describe it as spiritual light. God is often spoken of as the highest light, as in Isaiah 60:19. Physical light, the sun, stars, and moon, were created later, as described in Genesis 1:16.

The light spoken of in Genesis 1:3 may likely be the light of being, as God is the highest light, and all other beings are other qualities of light. The sun, stars, and moon, were created later.

Ephesians 5:25-33, 32 Not so much a great mystery, if they read the whole Bible or find this part... Also Science is not the problem, it’s the scientists because it is written in Proverbs 1:4 "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all your getting get understanding." To me, scientists are just trying to attack the Bible for an excuse for sinning, to not follow God, for what someone else did; Breaking Exodus 20:7 or grieving over death. Scientist should also do a little more "RE SEARCH" because I don’t like them making things, your just looking at what's is ALREADY there. You almost/sometimes describe what God does...but you can't do what God does Ecclesiastes 11:5, John 8:28 and 5:19...you will never know unless God tells you or gives you the power to do so. The so called "NEW PLANETS" and "GALAXIES" “we haven't discovered"... Genesis 1:16 "Evolution Theory"... Genesis 1:24-25...Monkeys breed Monkeys Putting aside or saying who lit the match? God, Yahweh, Genesis 11:9, for scientist's "Big Bang Theory"... Genesis 1:1-18, 1.

God is in charge of His Word. Things came into being by the words of His mouth and it was so.

We are not all decedents from Noah but we were all created by God and we are His children. When God created man and woman on the 6th day from Genesis 1:26-31, He created all the races of the earth. And in verse 31, He had saw everything done and it was good and then the word says and it was the end of the 6th day. In Adam’s case, God saw there were no farmers to till the soil, so in 2:5 you will read that.

GOD is unimaginable, infinite, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent and creative. I am short of words that can be ascribed to this great and awesome GOD. That is why we must continually worship HIM.

My God is magnificent, wonderful, and loving. He made this world for us to enjoy, yet some pervert his handiwork by saying we were born of apes.

Will I think that what God says has happened?

As a young child, I’ve always had questions about the Bible, the world, and GOD. Who am I or was I, did I exist before, what's my purpose? Samuel Abhishek, I think that you are correct about Genesis 1:1-2, there was another Earth Age before this one it was the 1st Earth Age. The one we are at the present living in is the 2nd Earth Age, and when Yahshaua returns it will be the 3rd Earth Age....Heaven right here on Earth! Most Churches will not share this part of the word...WHY?

Well I think it was great because this is my first time ever reading this I liked it.

What made God make man in the first place?

God is infinite...He was before the earth and would be even after...God's display of power with the creation shows He can turn any situation around just by the words of His mouth...wow!

Hi .. I am sikh and I am an Indian. I found bible very helpful. I really wonder we all are the decedents of Noah. We all are equal but 95% people among us do not understand this and they keep on distinguishing themselves.

It's hard for me to believe world is millions of years old, look how God created first two people did not create them as babies. God can do anything.

I need to ask some question regarding bible so can anyone help Me?

I think, in between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 there must be some years gap. I would like to know about the gap and the things happened at that time. May Jesus improve our website further in future. Thanks.

I'm hoping to finish reading the bible and I just started. Please pray for me. Thanks and hope everyone had a great thanksgiving.

God is God of order in verses 21 and 22, the bible dispels the chicken and egg confusion as to which one comes first.

There`s no mistakes. God`s word is correct. The word replenish is the same word given to Noah after the flood. There were a people before Adam...as indicated by the fossils left behind of people and dinosaurs. From scripture and "guessing" these people were not like Adam. They were like the hosts of heaven which serve but I DO NOT BELIEVE they had a will, as you can see in the beginning the Earth was void. God doesn`t create voids. He is a God of order, not of chaos. The first people were destroyed by sin. But they were not redeemed as I do not believe they had an eternal spirit. Genesis is the beginning, but it’s not the beginning story for man, nor for all of creation. There were no dinosaurs in Adam`s time and following the lineage from Adam to the present day is far from millions of years, yet dinosaur fossils date from millions of years back. I WOULD MEDITATE ON this as God is not above wiping out creation due to sin. And waiting for someone else...someone more obedient to be there to commune with us as we live. This generation shall not see the land of milk and honey. God left a whole generation of disobedient Israelites die off so that their obedient children could inherit the promised land.

Can someone explain these two scriptures?
#1 Genesis 1:26-28 " Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness."
Verse27 “He created male and female".
Genesis 2 "Formed man out of dust of the ground and breathed in his nostrils the breath of life," Verse 22 "Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man He made into a woman and he brought her to the man.
