Discuss Genesis 2 Page 17

Genesis describes the creation of life on earth. This involves God creating creatures who live on land, sea and air. There was also the creation of Man, with the first man called Adam, who lived in the garden of Eden. God later formed Women because God did not want Adam to live on his own. Also they had to avoid some fruit from certain trees, because eating from them would result in death immediately. On the seventh day of creating earth and all living things, he rested from all his works, which relates in todays terms, Sunday is the Seventh Day and a day of rest and the day people worship in Church. This Chapter is one of the most important chapters of the Bible and the events leading up to the creation of earth and what happened on the Seventh day still effects us today.

and your right and here is proof. Genesis 2:9

"And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil."

This is too large a subject to properly deal with here, but basically, when God rested on the seventh day from His Work of Creation ( Genesis 2:2,3), it was done from counting off six days: in other words, since no days of the week are seen here, therefore no one can determine which days was the day of rest. Then when He commanded this Day of Rest (Sabbath) in Exodus 20:10 for his people Israel to observe, again, there wasn't a stipulation of it being a particular day. The institution of the Sabbath was a sign of sanctification (or, separation) of Israel to God, elected by God out of a world all around them that was given to idolatry & wickedness. ( Exodus 31:13,14).

In Exodus chapter 16, we read of God's provision of food to Israel after they left Egypt, by supplying them with quails & manna each day. They had to collect their food every day for six days but on the sixth day, they had to collect the manna for an extra day, as it was their day of rest (Sabbath). If they forgot to do this, they would have to fast.

From then on, Israel had maintained this day count: working (or, collecting food) for six days & resting on the seventh. The Jewish Sabbaths, Festivals, etc. are now calculated on a Lunar Calendar (based on the Moon cycles/phases) as opposed to our Solar Calendar (based on the Sun). As both Calendars are not strictly accurate (if reckoning the exact days), they have to include extra days or in the case of Judaism, adjust their festival dates to suit. But the Sabbath has to be strictly maintained as the seventh day of rest from their labours.

God bless you brother Ralph

That is a very good question. We are only saved when we are in direct contact with God. The direct contact is called the Holy Spirit. A man is only saved when he has the Holy Spirit. That is the assurance from God that we are his child, and He is our Father.

So Jesus Christ was telling Peter that after he received the Holy Spirit he is to strengthen the Church. (There could also be an allusion to how Peter was going to deny Jesus three times.)

Peace and love in Christ

Luke 22:32

What did Jesus mean by saying "after you are converted"?

I have always thought, because Jesus "CHOSE" His disciples, they were already "saved".

Could it be that Jesus had not yet shed His blood whereby men can be "saved" through faith That His blood is salvation?

All souls belong to God . We all have a purpose in life . We all were created by God . He wants all souls to be SAVED, and all can be if they follow his word. It tells us how to live , what to do , what not to do . How to look for a help meet in life a companion. We're not to just take anyone to be our husband or wife . God has guidelines for us all to follow.

He told us to seek the kingdom of God first and then all these things would added unto us. God also tells us to be patient . Wait on him. God never fails he's alway true and faithful . Its people who let Hid down by not trusting in his word and living his word , not just saying your a Christian, but actually living it out the Bible way .

Yes we can all live it . God said in Several Chapters Go an sin No more . Would God tell us to Not sin if we couldn't do it by his help and Grace? No, he wouldn't . John 3 ch. John 8 ch. , John 5 ch. Romans 6:1-2 Romans 3:23-25 1 John 3:1-11 all these and there's more . We all need to be ready when the Lord comes back . Oh what a day of Rejoicing it will truly be fir his Saints .the really saved . Not just say I am when not. Can't go to Heaven with any type of sin in your life at all. None of us . 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 , Galatians 5:16-21.Gid came to show us the way he wants all Souls to be Saved Ezekiel 18:4. If we put God First he will give us also the desires of our heart to . But , we need to very careful what we ask for to have .It can hinder you in walking with God daily or even cause you to go astray from God and never get back .

If you Seek the kingdom of God First Let God Know you truly want to live for him and do as his word tells us and do it from the Heart . Let God know your willing to do it his way . Get o. Your knees and ask for forgiveness , if you've sinned . Truly Repent and to never go back to sin . God will bless your life . Genesis 2:18

"And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."

If your Bible has center of each page, reference with the little abc's imbedded in the scriptures; which point you to a matching letter in the columns.

It may point you to other scriptures that enhance your scripture you are studying OR it may point you to a prophesy that has been fulfilled or is to be soon fulfilled.

Or you can type your scripture in Google, then type 'commentaries' beside it. Read some of the commentaries and it may help you in your study "of hard sayings".

Mishael

Adam and Eve

2cd Edras 6;54 And after these, Adam also whom thou madest lord of all thy creatures, of him come wee all, and the people also whom thou hast chosen.

55All this haue I spoken before thee, O Lord, because thou madest the world for our sakes.

56As for the other people which also come of Adam, thou hast said that they are nothing, but be like vnto spittle, and hast likened the abundance of them vnto a drop that falleth from a vessell.

Can someone break this down?

Even IF there was a dual/parallel creation by God, Genesis chapter 6 declares that God would "destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them". Genesis 6:7. "But Noah found grace in the Eyes of the LORD".

So IF all the "creations" of God were destroyed by the flood, bar the "eight souls" ( 1 Peter 3:20), & I'm a Gentile (a part of the first creation & not of Adam's line) & therefore not in the line of Adam - Noah - Abraham - David - Jesus, then in fact, I don't exist.

And IF God's Judgement by the flood was restricted only to Adam's progeny because of their "wickedness being great", then why overlook those "Gentiles" who would also have been wicked because of their sin & not include them in the worldwide destruction - or maybe they were sinless & needed no judgement as we're not told that sin was in them nor passed onto them? Then this might give some added weight to our 'sinless perfection' brethren's argument, sans their need of Christ. The mind starts to boggle indeed. Or, maybe there's a link that I've missed.

God created mankind called the gentiles so to speak

Then God created Adam, a special man who's seed line would lead to Abraham and the Israelites in who's seed shall lead to the promised seed Jesus the Christ

In Genesis chapter 1, the names of the first man & woman are not given, except that God created man (Heb. ha-a-dam) on the sixth day of creation, from which the name Adam is generally applied to this first man.

Then in Genesis chapter 2, God continues to refer to this creation as "man", until verse 19, where God refers to this man as Adam. When the time came to create someone else to be a companion & help to Adam, he created "woman" (Heb. is-sah), to which Adam also referred to her, as she "was taken out of man".

In Genesis 3:20, "And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living". Now Adam refers to is-sah, calling her, Eve (Heb. haw-wah) & through their union, they became as "one flesh".

However, if your question infers whether the creation of mankind in chapter 1 is different from the reference to mankind in the other chapters, then that would be an incorrect deduction, as chapter 1 gives God's Creative Work on the "six days" whereas the other chapters expands on chapter 1 & takes the subsequent events after creation further. Therefore, man & woman in chapter 1 are the same Adam & Eve in chapters 2 & 3.

What are the names of the male and female that God created in Genesis Chapter One.

Genesis 2:20-25

I found the answer to my question. I should have read chapter 2 of Genesis. Thank you for your time.

I've heard some really shocking rapture predictions tho past week, or so. Dreams, visions.

Rapture mentions in scripture: OT and NT are all through the Bible. God inspired it.

You have to read it and pray daily, pray long, listen with all your strength. Fast. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the mystery.

We can't just say stuff like "hit me with some truth, Holy Spirit". Try to observe some reverence and worship.

Lastly, use some common sense. A deep relationship with the Holy Spirit is vital. It is needful to hear for yourself instead of running to and fro asking for other people's (humankind) point of view. It must be backed by scrip

We are waiting for the times of the Gentiles to be fulfilled. We are the Elect until that is completed. THEN the election will pass back to the Jews. I'm not going to debate this. Too many baseless debates go on in here.

Jesus is not going to suffer (allow) His Bride to go through the Tribulation.

People are preaching that she will go through the entire Tribulation; she will go through an asteroid strike that will make all water on earth poisonous. No. The Brides, Bridegroom is going to fetch her off the earth! She will meet her Bridegroom in the clouds.

Notice in Revelation the His feet do not touch the ground. The next time His feet touch the ground, will be at the Mount of Olives.

You ask the Holy Spirit about the election!

Why has the Church been waiting to see the Return of the exiled Jews to begin to return to their homeland? Prophesy is falling into place. People who study prophesy, know these things. The recently signed Abrahamic Accord signed between Israel and some Arab nations; that lasts for 7 years___is HUGE!! ALL dreams and visions will agree with scripture. If God didn't say it in scripture: it may be a pizza dream.

The Bride will not be here to be confronted by Antichrist. Hint: Go circle that Abraham Accord date on your calendar.

Keep tuned into Jesus. He is the TRUTH.

Mishael

same because i love god and he is still alive

Genesis 2:1-3: "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made."

If you're referring to God "resting on the seventh day (of His creating Work)", we understand that means that He ceased from His work, i.e. He didn't get tired from all His hard work, rather, all that He purposed to do in establishing the worlds & all that is in & on them, was now complete & He refrained from further creating. However, this shouldn't imply that God's Hand was withheld from doing anything else in the future, but in establishing the worlds, they were completed.

Dear Hugo,

Thank you for your respectful reply. I appreciate that. Some people are just looking to start quarrels and fights, but I now believe that is not your motive, but that you actually believe what you said to be true.

It sounds like you justified your belief by admitting that you don't believe the entire Bible, specifically 1 John 5:7, which you attempted to discredit. I believe the whole Bible including 1 John 5:7 as God's Word so I do not believe what you wrote. I think the bulk of your belief hinges on 1 verse Isaiah 9:6 which you strip out all the other meaning to focus on one word then conflate that word with God the Father then assume they are the same. This involves some mental gymnastics to come to your conclusion and I will prove how this is a logical fallacy. First you ignore all of Jesus' nicknames listed but zero in on 'everlasting father'. You then drop off the first word and and focus only on 'father' then you realize that God the father also has the word 'father' in it and assume they are the exact same being, despite billions of other fathers also existing on Earth. Does that mean all instances of 'father' in the Bible automatically mean God the father? Like Genesis 2:24 means to leave 'God the father' then? Obviously not. Genesis 9:18 says Ham is the father of Canaan- does this mean he's 'God the father' too like Jesus? If using the same logic this one is more likely to be conflated with God the father, because it directly says 'father' not 'everlasting father'- the one of many nicknames for Jesus. And again, Jesus praying to God the Father actually happened, and so Jesus obviously didn't pray to Himself. So, I think your position is refuted with scripture and logic, but if you don't believe parts of the Bible as you admitted then I can then see how you arrive at this distorted interpretation. I appreciate you sharing your interpretation, but I don't believe it's true. Have you prayed about this, to ask God for the truth? God bless you.

i thank the lord for his great and marvellous providences to all mankind and animal kind

through his spirit leading, I came to realize there is someone up there somewhere who controls the whole universe

without him there would be no existence of our being. I really appreciate the God who understand my every single moments each day when I doubt or when am blunt conscious of my own ways.

please lord forgive and give me the strength of mind and lead me in the way everlasting

may God show me the way to eternal life. God bless his children forevermore

Cheers

Revelation 22:2

In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

>>Wesley's Notes for Revelation 22:2

In the midst of the street - Here is the paradise of God, mentioned: Rev 2:7, Is the tree of life - Not one tree only, but many. Every month - That is, in inexpressible abundance. The variety, likewise, as well as the abundance of the fruits of the Spirit, may be intimated thereby. And the leaves are for the healing of the nations - For the continuing their health, not the restoring it; for no sickness is there.

>>People's Bible Notes for Revelation 22:2

In the midst of its street. In the Revised Version this is attached to Revelation 22:1. It is the river of life that runs in the street. On each side of the river, watered by it, stands the tree of life . . . yielded her fruit every month. The thought is that it is always fruitful, not limited to certain seasons of fruit bearing. The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. We are not to conclude that there were diseases to be healed, but that in the city were the means which banished disease and death." ( Genesis 2:10). Here there is a river, "clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb" ( Revelation 22:1) There was a tree of life in Paradise. In the New Jerusalem, on either side of the river stands the tree of life bearing twelve manner of fruits, or rather fruit twelve times a year, every month. The river and the tree are symbols of the life bestowed by the grace of God. The river flows from the throne of God and the Lamb; from the fountain whence life and immortality come. Everything about the tree is healthful. Even the leaves are for the healing of the nations. There is a book, a river and a tree of life. Christ is the life, and all refer in some way to Christ.

before Jesus people will be judged by the things they did (good or bad) here on earth.

I see God put the man in the garden, and a garden is where things grow; Eve was formed in the garden because she will be the garden of children. One river enters the garden and turns into four heads. These four heads could be a representation of a family, a father, a mother, a boy and a girl.

So Adam n Eve were never saved

Jesus was died on a Friday (good Friday) and rose on a Sunday. The 3rd day. The Lords day.

Hi Chris,

Yes my comment was for you, specifically in the end of your comments where you say "And, we're not required to be 'sinless to enter Heaven': we are still saved & sanctified sinners who will be renewed in every way, outfitted for life in Eternity."

Repentance, salvation, and sanctification from sin through the blood of Jesus does not produce saved and sanctified sinners. Romans 12:1 refers to sanctification and says in part "ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God". Those guilty of committed sins are not the living sacrifice as sin makes one dead spiritually. A sinner is not holy nor acceptable.

Think all the way back to Genesis 2:17 where God warned Eve not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. In verse 4 of chapter 3 the serpent told Eve God was wrong and she'd not die. God was referring to the effects of son and that it does cause the soul to die. Satan as the serpent deceived Eve by turning God's words of warning to mean not dying physically.

Here is Titus 2:11, 12 "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;". The problem is you excuse sin, saying sin still is present in the saved, where God offers salvation from sin.

Matt. 1:21 Jesus was sent to save us from sin, not still in sin.

If you want true salvation, you will stop sinning after being saved. If you want a watered down false doctrine, feel free to think you are saved and sanctified yet still sin. But be warned, when you are at the Judgement before God, He will remind you a saint of God told you in this comment area that salvation requires you to stop the sin business. (See Matt. 25:31-46) If any stand before God with sin that is not repented of and are still committing sin, they cannot enter Heaven and will be separated from the sheep. And as a goat, be sent to Hell for eternal punishment.

I PRAY ALL DAY .Sorry for my comment where i said play i meant pray so please forgive me and GOD BLESS.

i love reading the word of God it helps me with my spiritual growth i play all day and i read the word of god every day.

Beloved,

Please help me in knowing what is the name in Hebrew for the Holy Spirit of YAH.

Also the gender of the Holy Spirit.

Very sincerely

Herman

Cheryl. Genesis 1:27 declares that God created man first & did so in His Own Image. That is, this new creation had all of God's attributes (holiness, love, joy, peace, etc.) yet someone who had flesh - unlike God, Who is Spirit. I'm not a Hebrew scholar by any means but from my research into this portion of the Bible, I see the following: The word for Mankind in Hebrew (the original writing of the Old Testament) is, Ha-Adam. So, the first man's name Adam, means 'mankind' (in general).

Then in Genesis 2:22, God noticing that man was alone & wandering around aimlessly (2:18), decided to make another human to be his companion in life & a help to him (2:18). So from a part taken from Adam (his rib), God created another human being & Adam named her 'Woman'. In Hebrew, 'woman' is 'ishshah'.

In Genesis 2:23, we read that Adam named this new creation, Woman, as she came out of man (i.e. made from his body). Now the Hebrew changes as it allows for not mankind, but for the dual genders. The Hebrew then for this man Adam becomes 'ish' and for 'out of man' is 'ishshah'. So we have 'ish' (man) & 'ishshah' (woman, or one coming out of man).

Genesis 2:24: "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Adam could never fully enjoy or identify with the other of God's creation (animals) as they were unlike him. But once, Ishshah was made, he knew that this was special/different, one he could be at one with for procreation, companionship, care & dependency. Then in Genesis 3:20, Ish changes the name of Ishshah & now calls her 'Chavvah', which means 'Eve', because she would be the mother of all living.
