Discuss Genesis 1 Page 175

to James Cropper's, "verse and trying to make it fit our own logic and understanding will always lead us in the wrong direction"
i think your silly. One must think and understand to accept anything.
You say you research it for years. People research to gain a greater understanding. If did actually can you tell me what research you did? Greek, Hebrew, earlier scripts?

to Aaneiyah Brown's comment thanks love ^_^, i'll take it as a mirical

I think that this Bible is very useful. Most because when you forget yours at school. And you need it for homework. Remeber smile Jesus Loves you!!!!!!!!!!!

We don't ve to argue about the two lights created in Genesis, with regards to the moon and sun light, the words used in distinguishing them are immaterial, such arguments might create doubts on unbelievers or people who doubt God existence, what we believe will not affect the fact that God exist and he is our maker.

The 6th day is mentioning in chapter 24 to 31 and that is why i paste it here so you could see it, because man is like this TO SEE IS TO BELIEVE but to God is BELIEVE FIRST AND YOU WILL SEE.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which [is] the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein [there is] life, [I have given] every green herb for meat: and it was so.

31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Hi Ralp, how are you i just want to explain something about the six day. We cannot defend on our intellect, it is thru the word of God what is written is written we cannot change it, i am mislead about God's word because i based everything from the bible and not my intellect, if we based on our own knowledge well its up to you.

I have a question for you DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THERE IS GOD AND JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONE TRUE GOD,WHO MANIFESTED IN THE FLESH ( 1 TIMOTHY 3:16) JUST TO SAVE US? IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT HE IS THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN & EARTH THEN YOU MUST ALSO KNEW IN ABOUT GOD'S WORD.

ITS SAYS IN THIS SITE...SHARE YOUR OWN THOUGHTS OR COMMENTARY SHARE MEANS YOU WILL PASS THE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT GOD'S WORD TO OTHERS AND NOT TO LIFT YOURSELF, WELL SORRY TO SAY THIS BUT I DON'T BASED ON MY OWN KNOWLEDGE BUT I BASED MY KNOWLEDGE FROM THE WORD OF GOD AND NOT FOR MYSELF.

GODBLESS YOU

I have studied the bible for many years. The one thing I know for sure, there is only truth here, simply reading a verse and trying to make it fit our own logic and understanding will always lead us in the wrong direction. All scripture will lead us to the truth, but prayer and fasting and meditation of Gods purpose is essential. This is not just a story, its a love letter to our souls, don't treat anything you read lightly. Its all true and from someone in love with you and wants you to understand. It will lead to truth after truth and a revelation of who God really is. Most importantly it will lead to a walk with the creator and maker of all we are and will be.

I DNT THINK I NO DAT GOD CREATED HEAVEN AND EARTH BECAUSE HE MADE US ND WE R ON EARTH SO 4 DA SAID HE HADE 2 CREATE EARTH CAUSE NOBODY CAN WALK ON AIR

Good questions, Jeff. I don't know how God considered day 1 a day when time markers for Earth were only created that same day. Maybe God already had an idea of a day- such as a 24 hr period decided in advance and made the Earth to fit that idea. As far as the 2 lights, it's written in simple terms and I'm sure there's many more details that could have been written. The moon does act like a 2nd light, even though it reflects the sun. I don't think anything is inaccurate here, because its just simplified- there's a lot happening in each sentence and each day and I'm sure a lot more detail could have been shared, but I also like how its concise.

Hey i just noticed something that’s odd. Any1 that can help that would be cool.

The thing i don’t get is Genesis 1:14, how could there be days and evenings before this verse?
Also another thing Genesis 1:16. “God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day” this means sun right and “the lesser light to rule the night” this must mean the moon, yeah? I can understand that, but the first thing it mentioned. God created two lights. The moon has no light it just a reflection from the sun? The sun is the only thing that has its own light source, yeah?

To RALPH M. WATERS's comment. Birds came from reptiles then fish & blah.
I still don’t understand how it amazes you? If you mean all of life came from the water then i guess you right?

The 6th day - No where in the BIBILE does it mentions - a (24) hour day. - So 6th day - is somewhat misleading to those who are new in studying GOD's WORD. - Could of been a split second - or 6 billion years. - People will take it as a twenty-four hour period.

In this verse: GOD gave man everything that has the breath of LIFE. "BREATH OF LIFE", This takes you to man not having complete control over EVERYTHING THAT GOD has created. "THE FISH" - do not have the breath of LIFE.

Its amazing to me how so many people do not realize where the birds came from. The waters.

In the image of GOD we were created. The power of heaven belonged to GOD. Our Dominion was earth. For we had power over all things.

hey William's thanks for the reply, i think it sort of makes sense now ^^

first of all people are of the flesh and god is of the spirit it doesn't matter who wrote the King James bible because understanding comes from god through the holy spirit through Jesus Christ and salvation came by the blood of Jesus Christ and his death people are confuse about a lot of things we cant salvation we can have eternal life and not salvation.search for the holy spirit to guild you and give you understanding and God will never fail you and one other Jesus Christ will judge us not god we are not under law any more John 5.22 but one day we will see god and i cant wait like Job 19.20/ 25

In the book of Genesis wherein God from the beginning created the heaven & the earth, and He even created every thing, God created the fowls of the earth according to its kind, God created the birds according to its kind, God created the trees according to its kind, God created the fish according to its kind and the last God created man according to His image.

This are part of God's creation and He even planned of salvation before the creation begun ( 1 Peter 1:19-20) who verily foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times. Because God knows that the man that He created will be disobedient to Him that is why Before creating them, it was already there before foundation of the world, Salvation is already there for the future. Because when Adam & Eve disobeyed the command of God that if you ate the fruit specifically God mentioned that you will surely die! And this is the CURSE the curse of DEATH, A FAR REACHING CONSEQUENCE THAT CAME TO US because of their disobedience to God. ( Romans 5:12) says because of ONE MAN sin enetered into the world, and by SIN, DEATH passeth to ALL, for ALL HAVE SINNED. And God shows us how he's gonna save mankind thru CLOTHING OF SKIN OF ANIMALS TO ADAM & EVE representing forgiveness of their SIN, This SKIN of the LAMB supposed to be key for their forgiveness for disobedience, this are the type & shadow of what GOD WILL DO TO SAVE MANKIND FROM THEIR SINS, BY OFFERING HIS HUMAN BODY IN THE PERSON OF CHRIST, ( 1 Timothy 3:16) God was manifest in the FLESH,( John 1:1-14) In the beginning was a WORD and the WORD was with GOD and the WORD was GOD and in V-14 and the WORD became FLESH. And it was prophesied by God himself ( Isaiah 7:14) A virgin shall conceived and bear a Son and His name shall be called Emannuelle which means God with us. So if there is a prophecy there must be a fulfillment and in ( Matthew 1:21-23)And she (MARY) shall bring forth a SON named Jesus for he shall save his people from their sins, because we are all BORN SINNERS ( Psalms 51:5) That is why God make a way to REACH US, TO SAVE US FROM OUR SINS, because if the plan of salvation does not HAPPENED TO US, does not apply to us we will be perished to eternal damnation from HELL, the CURSE which Adam & Eve we INHERIT IT! So the KEYS for this is to OBEY GOD'S WORD thru the BIBLE, because the Bible is our guide, our salvation because it is the Word of God (2 Timonthy 3:16) That is why if we donot believe in the Bible theres nothing to explain and our sharing will be useless. Its not the version of the Bible but whatever VERSION IT IS, the PLAN OF SALVATION IS STILL THERE, AND WE CANNOT IGNORE THIS...WE CANNOT USE OUR INTELLECTS, WE MUST DEFEND OF GOD AND TO HIS WORD...Godbless your heart If you understand what I am sharing off.

Praise God anbd bless him for giving us his only Son so that we may have everlasting life. I have been a sinful man. I pray my father will forgive me and give me the strength to ward off the evils of this world. I pray this site be able to continue spreading God's word for the truth of God's word can not ever be ridiculed or stopped from the ones desiring for salvation. I ask that my sins be forgiven in Jesus's name, AMEN.

A reply to Jeff's comment on verse 29.
This is just a thought, it isn't backed by anything but maybe at the time of the creation every fruit was consumable. However, later as part of the curse fruit was made that was not consumable. In Genesis 3:18 God created thorns and thistles as part of the curse, maybe unconsumable fruit was also created.

this doesent relate to "nebular form". nebular form should be full of stuff not void/nothingness.

This is in regards to May's comment on 11/24/2010 at 3:20am on the issue of the bible having contradictions. I write this with a sense of respect for other peoples views not in manner that could be perceived in a negative or boastful way. So here goes.

I checked out your findings by researching the two bibles I mostly use which are the New International Version published by Zondervan and the King James Version which I prefer as everyone is very familiar with, which is published by Boardman and Holman publishers. I compared the two using the scriptures you provided in your comment and so far I have yet to find any contradictions in either book, for they both basically read exactly the same. I can only say with all due respect that maybe you might want to question the publishers of the bible your reading from and not the word of God itself. Henceforth I believe this is why you are writing your comment on the issue in the first place. Mind you I vaguely recall something in the bible stating that there would be those who would try to confuse God's word with mans word to lead others astray. ....For as you so stated in your comment that... ["Let me just say that the references that I'm about to quote [may not] [be in your Bible as there are many Bibles available on the market that are used by different Christian sects each claiming that their Bible is translated as the word of God. The references I will quote comes from the Tyndale Bible."] Maybe you just got a hold of one of the tools of those very same men you Gods word spoke of and that's why you're having this issue now, as far as I can gather from the post. Maybe you really need to examine your comment very carefully without bias, honestly to your own point of view. Do just to prove me wrong if you so please and if your heart and mind are not convicted in the slightest, so be it. Nonetheless I hope Gods word shows you the truth where ever you may find it. I will be praying for you so may God lead you and bless you on your journey for the truth, Amen.

hmmm, i always found this bit odd. It like not every fruit is humanly consumable can someone here tell me any other meaning to it???

I would just like to comment on Paqul Bivins's comment. The Egg makes more sense to me. The shell is god, the egg white is ghost and the yellow bit is Jesus. Put these together you get an egg. While i don’t believe in the trinity as im an abortionist but when it says "in our own image" i think it just mean me, Hebrew (שלנו) to Greek (Μας) i can get why it says our but if you know the Greek and Hebrew language you know in context it’s just like when god say "he is" you know god has no gender. It like that

GODS creation is good. his plane excelent.since we are his creation,we share his adversary.[lucifa] he wants GODS plan to fail,that even though man was created less than the angles still more of us would chose GOD over self as lucifer did.satan wants GODS plan to fail that we will be doomed as he... our LORD said [the meak shall inhert creation] TO OUR FARTHERS GLORY.

Job 38:7 sons of God. The whole family was there. Proverbs 8:31 the family was ther with God and His Wisdom. Let us create man in Our Image. The One Who Created All things In John the Gospel is standing there saying it with His "all" His children, The Word is Standing there speaking to Us. One God Father and one family. Read Job & proverbs 8. G

@SOJURN. Four good questions. I have an opinion, but just that. Here goes. 1. Why did GOD put the tree of knowledge in the garden in the first place. Ans. Well, God created us to have free will. HE did not want robots, that's why he gave us a choice. To obey or not to obey HIM. 2. Why did God "cover our eyes" only to be cheated out of what God gave us by the evil serpent. Ans. Since Satan had fallen, he wanted to be sure the plan of God would be ruined by tempting the woman. 3. It seemed like we were set up to fail. Ans. God gave Adam and Eve a choice. It was not a set-up. It was God giving his creation a choice, which we know now that Eve was tempted, and Adam also did eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 4. The same applies to your question No. 2.
I may not have it completely correct, but I hope I got the main subject answered to your satisfaction. Blessings

I HAD FORGOTTEN ONE OF THE QUESTION ADD TO MY LIST
4.And the eyes of them both were open.
THIS GOES WITH WHY GO TO ALL THE TROUBLE OF COVERING OUR EYES IF HE CREATED A BEING THE SERPENT THAT SEEMS TO KNOW GOOD AND EVIL AND CHEATS US OUT OF WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN US.

SINCE GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION[1COR.14;33]HOW DID GENESIS 1;2 BECOME WITHOUT FORM AND VOID[BOHUW-RUIN,TOHUW-TO LIE WASTE

I HAVE 3 QUESTIONS: IN GEN:1
1 Tree of knowledge of good and evil,thou shalt not eat of it:
2 and they were both naked,the man and his wife,and were not ashamed
3 NOw the serpent was more subtil then any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.
PERSONAL THOUGHTS:
1.WHY PLACE THIS TREE IN THE GARDEN IN THE 1ST PLACE?
2.WHY GO TO ALL THE TROUBLE OF COVERING OUR EYES IF HE HAS CREATED A BEING WITH THE KNOWLAGE OF GOOD AN EVIL IN THIS SERPENT TO CHEAT US OUT OF WHAT HE HAS GIVEN US.
3.IT SEEMS TO ME WE WERE SET UP FOR A FALL AND NOW OUR LIFE IS A LIVINGT HELL DOTO A FEW SITUATIONS THAT HAVE NO REASON.
I will place this in an hope of greater understanding of his word.

The scripture says, Let US make man in OUR own image, To me the scriptures says there is more than one person in the Godhead,that bares record in heaven, Let US ... In OUR own image, that mean to me that the father, Son and the Holy Spirit are three persons, and the word God is a word meaning more than one, Example In the Jones' house their is mom and dad and 3 kids, In the Godhead there are three persons but just one God, Example, Take three matchs and hold them together strike them, you have 3 stems but only one flame, I never undeerstook the egg example.
