    Mark 16:1 "And when the Sabbath was past" (the 7th day) 2. "And very early in the morning the first day of the week..." (Sunday) How can this be misinterpreted? Luke 23:54 And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drew on. 56. ....they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment. Luke24:1 Now on the first day of the week... (Sunday) early in the morning, they came to the sepulcher...

    Luke 4:16 ....and as his custom was He (Jesus) went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day.... Luke 13:10 ...and He (Jesus) was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. Genesis 1:5....He called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Genesis 2:2...and on the seventh day God ended his work which He had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. (to set apart, to declare Holy)

    Exodus 20:8-11 (4th commandment) Remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the 7th day is the Sabbath. So we have established that the preparation day and the Sabbath drew on....was Friday. The Sabbath was the 7th day.... Saturday. He rose very early the first day of the week...Sunday. The Sabbath was established in the first week of creation to commemorate his work. A reminder that he is Creator God. The sabbath commandment starts with...remember. God knew that someday the world was going to forget the true Sabbath and worship a man made Sabbath. This happened under Constantine in the 3rd century when he declared Sunday to be a National day of rest. But he could not change the true Sabbath. He could only counterfeit a new day of rest. Then the Roman Catholic Church established it as a "Holy Day" but it was not Gods holy day. The Catholic Church claims the change and declares it as a "Mark" of their authority! There's that word "mark." Could it be the "Mark" of the Beast is making the false Sabbath (Sun day) law?

    Genesis 1:2?
  • T Levis - In Reply on Genesis 2 - 3 years ago
    Genesis 1:26, "let them" & please note "dominion over fish of the Sea" so why would he put 1 man 1 woman into a garden HE made after HE told them to take dominion? If you read with Wisdom from GOD as given by asking GOD: James 1:5, You will find GOD is the same yesterday today & forever, Hebrews 13:8, Numbers 23:19, Titus 1:2, GOD does not lie nor tempt people to sin: James 1:13, 1Samuel 15:29, never said that was ok, it's contrary: Leviticus 20:17, Therefore understanding GOD's nature read again. Genesis 1:26-29, Genesis 2:7-8, Notice there is distinction between formed here. The Garden may be representative of the Church notice also the command given to the 'man Gen 1:27-28, yet this man was left alone, Gen 2:15-23, Explain Gen 4:14-25, without other people. Please also ask yourself honestly: would parents actually give a daughter to a murderer? It really takes more fake faith to believe the lies of perversion! Those lies have no scripture support!

    2Thessalonians 2:10-12, Colossians 2:8, Even to the ' religious authority ' Jesus had to rebuke: John 8:44,

    Keep reading The WORD, keep seeking truth GOD loves those that seek HIM Deuteronomy 4:29, 3John 1:3, John 17:17, Zechariah 8:16,

    Hopefully these are helpful in your searching for truth

    Hi Norman.

    This is a reprint with corrections.

    To answer your question plainly.

    God permitted Brother raise up family by their sister or close kin.

    Adam and Eve was the only two God created to multiply the Earth. and he did somewhat manner with Noah.

    That shouldn't be a problem being he spoke up Adam from the dust of the Ground.

    In Genesis 2:7. He's going over what he has already done in Genesis 1:27.

    There is only one creation

    God bless.

    1 Corinthians 13:12

    "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."

    King James Version (KJV)

    If you read you see twice God created man, Genesis 1:27

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

    Genesis 2:7

    "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."

    Is this the answer some think it's not But Gnesis 2:7 is after God finish all his work and rested the 7th day Genesis 2:4These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, It says generations plural. but then we see verse

    5And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. but we only know in part? 2Corinth3:12 And then we see this, Genesis 6:4

    "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."

    Hebrews 11:1

    "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

    King James Version (KJV)

    Part 5.

    Incidentally, Hume conceded that there is no rational excuse for the worship of many gods.

    Were men led into the apprehension of invisible intelligent power by contemplation of Nature, they could never possibly entertain any conception but of one single Being, who bestowed existence and order on this vast machine and adjusted all its parts to one regular system (quoted by Monser 1961, 494).

    This speaks to the issue of the Gentile idolatry described in the context of Romans 1:20ff.

    Professor Alan Johnson, a respected biblical scholar, tells of a missionary in northern Brazil who once observed a native enter his village. He was extremely nervous and fidgety, and his brow was covered with sweat. He seemed quite uneasy, even in the presence of his friends. Later, it was discovered that he had just killed a man from another tribe-although it was not considered wrong to kill a member of some other tribe, and he would not have been condemned by his peers. The man obviously was under the internal pressure of a guilty conscience (1976, 44; emphasis added).

    The conscience is a part of the human package, and it demonstrates a moral chasm between men and women and other biological creatures of our planet ( Genesis 1:26-27).

    EVIDENCE OF DIVINE CONCERN FOR THE GENTILES.

    Though the Old Testament story is mainly the story of the Hebrews' role in God's wonderful plan for human redemption, there are numerous glimpses in the sacred literature of the early history of divine interest in, and provisions for, Gentile salvation.

    See Part 6.

    Part 3.

    (3) There is a fundamental fact of human history. Humanity was created in the image of God ( Genesis 1:26-27). This does not have reference to the physical features of humankind, for God is not physical ( Matthew 16:17; John 4:24; Luke 24:39); rather, as noted above, it alludes to intangible qualities that were created resident in the spirit of the person. This aspect of human personality is what Paul called conscience. The English word derives from the Greek term, syneidesis, a compound term signifying "to know together." It reflects a common knowledge that human beings share with one another of a sense of religious and moral culpability.

    As one scholar noted: "According to Romans 2:14-15 conscience is innate and universal. It is not the product of environment, training, habit, race impression, or education, though it is influenced by all these factors" (Rehwinkel 1999, 136). The ancient Gentiles, therefore, were not judged by the same rule as the Jews, but they were not void of law and culpability. Elsewhere the matterhas been described in this way:

    [T]he threefold workings of the law, in that the guidance of their heart predisposes them to know the right, the testimony of their conscience bears witness with their heart that the right is preferable, and lastly, after the deed is done, their thoughts or inward reasonings accuse or excuse them according as their act has been wrong or right. These well-known psychological phenomena, observable among the Gentiles, are proof conclusive that they are not without law, with its power and privilege of justification (McGarvey and Pendleton n.d., 313).

    I've also heard LeBleu water company found early treatment for cancers using Grapes Seeds from Israel. I met with them years ago, the founder told me in a Petri dish it actually eats away the cancers. Today it's sold only as "health food Muscadine supplement" . Why ?

    2 Thessalonians 2:12, Ephesians 4:25, Psalms 119:30, Psalms 85:10-11, Ephesians 6:14, Ephesians 6:12,

    1 Corinthians 4:5, Luke 8:17, Mark 4:22,

    * Luke 12:1-7,

    Hopefully these scriptures are helpful to encourage & strengthen.

    So it seems that Heaven is the firmament with water above it. Below waters become earth and sea (there was land mixed with the water and God exposed it). His word never comes back unfulfilled!
  • Ronald Whittemore - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    Marlene,

    The firmament, raqia meaning an extended surface, expanse, heaven. There are in scripture three heavens, 2 Corinthians 13:2 as Paul tells us. The first heaven is our atmosphere, the air we breathe, where we will meet Jesus when he returns, 1 Thessalonians 4:17 the Greek word , ar, air, the lower air we breathe. The second heaven is the sky, the Greek word ouranou, the starry heavens, where the sun, moon, all the stars, and planets.

    These first two is the firmament that God said let there be to divide the waters, the waters below and the waters above. In day four God placed the sun, moon, stars, and all the other planets in this firmament. The third heaven is above all this where the throne of God and the abode of the angels.

    There are many opinions, what are these waters that are above the stars but little scripture just theories.

    May this help.

    God bless,

    God bless you Trish...the firmament was created when He separated the waters that were above from the waters that were below...the waters above in preparation for the flood,which is why it was the only creation day the the Lord did not say was good...the firmament is the first heaven,the heaven where the celestial bodies reside is the second and God's throne occupies the third...

  • The Glory of God - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    I once heard someone say: The Glory of the Peach Tree, is the Peach.

    The Glory of God, is His Son, Jesus Christ.

    It changed me to see my son as being my glory. I treated him differently after that. We should see the same Jesus we follow; in our children.

    They are not our "cross to pick up and carry every day". They are our glory. The only Jesus they may see, is what is reflected through us, into them.

    Don't let your kids wander off__without knowing they are loved and well thought of. We have to walk the walk and talk the talk.

    How carefully we will plant flowers in the yard, and hope they will become beautiful to look upon.

    Go ye into ALL the world. that's all of us.

  • S Spencer - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    Hi Trish.

    Here's a definition.

    The region of the air the sky or heavens. In scripture, the word denotes an expanse, a wide extent for such is the signification of the Hebrew word, coinciding with regio, region, and reach. The original therefore does not convey the sense of solidity, but of stretching, extension the great arch or expanse over our heads, in which are placed the atmosphere and the clouds, and in which the stars appear to be placed, and are really seen.

    And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. Genesis 1:6 .

    I hope that helps.

    God bless.
  • Mishael - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    You can Google for some charts & maps to look at. Makes it easier to understand. I would go look at those.

    Google: firmament, Bible

    Scientists don't even know how deep space is. They've discovered that the Big Bang happened here, and the waves are expanding deep into space.

    With the new space vehicles, they have seen DRY LAKE BEDS on the planets & moons we know of. They have various thoughts on why those planets lost the water. Too close to the sun, or too far away; and then they were able to see the dry lake beds.

    Only Earth has water. In my book that's enough evidence to be convinced of a Creator.

    We have water, light, heat, cold, fertile earth, and plenty of vegetation and animals for food. None of the other planets have that.

    The Bible only, names EARTH as a habitation.

    I might have seen that documentary on

  • Kent Bass - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    Hi Trish, I don't know if anyone can properly explain this without actually being in heaven in The Spirit. I will just tell you what little knowledge I have. Here on earth we have the firmament that separates the water, and above us we have the firmament that separates the earth from space. Above that there is also a heavenly heaven where Yah dwells where there is no darkness. Yah Bless You!
  • Ronald Whittemore - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    Hey Trish,

    The firmament, raqia, meaning an extended surface, expanse, God called heaven that He placed the sun, moon, and all the stars. It is from the earth to the furthest star. In Genesis 1:6-8 the second day God said let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters to divide the waters, WOW. This shows how little we understand the size and power of our God, we cannot even comprehend that. We ask what is this water that is above the farthest star we know of?

    In the ancient world among all peoples everywhere believed the sky (firmament) was a rock-solid dome over the earth beneath which were the sun, moon, and stars. Some in the past believed there was a sea above this solid dome. Some believe the water was a canopy of water vapor that covered the earth before the flood. This greenhouse effect might have made the whole pre-flood world tropical and helped people live for hundreds of years, and the water used to flood the earth.

    With the sun, moon, and stars in this firmament that could not be because this would have created intense heat that would cook everything. I think this is one thing outside of our understanding, you can word search firmament in scripture, but God throne is above it, Paul called it the third heaven, 2 Corinthians 12:2. The waters above may be the waters of life as we read in Revelation 21:6 and Revelation 21:1,17. The water Jesus offered in John 4:10-15.

    God bless,

  • Ronald Whittemore - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    Hey Paadamshel,

    Your question is something easy to just read over, plants of the earth whose seed was in itself, after his kind. These plants like the animals after their kind, God clearly says there was no evolution involved in creation.

    The word earth used is Strong's #776. h-'-re, erets definition earth, land, countries, the dry part of the planet. The plants of the earth would produce and grow on their own with no need to plant, till, these plants were self-bearing, plants that did not need cultivating. God filled the earth with food to feed the animals that would be coming.

    Little words put light on things we may just look over like the word earth and in chapter two the word field ha--eh Strongs #7704 meaning: field, land, agriculture. In chapter two it is the plants of the field and animals of the field.

    The earth takes care of itself, but you must till and plant a garden before it will grow.

    God bless,

    RLW

    In simplest terms - an apple seed. The fruit of the tree apple, peach, cherry; contains the seed thereof. Plant and apple seed and you get an apple tree.
  • Gigi - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    Hello, Paadamshel, this phrase in Genesis is referring to seed bearing plants and trees. This type of vegetation produces nuts or fruits or pods or cones or flowers that have seeds in these parts of their structure. There are other plants that spread by rizomes, tubers, and roots. But I think these were made on this same day also.

    Hope this helps.

  • GiGi - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 3 years ago
    Yes Leanna,

    First of all we learn that before anything else existed God was eternally alive. Next we learn that the heavens and the earth were created by God alone from nothing that existed before these came to be. Third, we learn that God is all-powerful to be able to create from nothing everything that exists in our universe, including stars, planets, light, all matter, all natural laws, all forces, and all creatures and living plants. And next we learn that humans are created by God. Then we learn that God determined that all He had created was very good. So from this we come to know that God is perfectly good, because what is evil cannot make anything that is good.

    Joseph Smith was a person who lived and led many many people away from the Salvation of Jesus, the Son of God.

    The Bible says to FOLLOW JESUS,

    Not Joseph Smith__whose remains are inside a casket [which could be dug up and looked at)

    Jesus's Tomb was already opened by an Angel; even though it had been sealed closed with a rock that weighed over 1000 pounds.

    Six Roman soldiers guarded the Tomb all night. I was told the tomb rock hadn't been laid over. It had been picked up and tossed on top of the Tomb; which was dug out on a hillside. A story told by Jewish Christians for almost 3000 years.

    A big riot ensued by the Pharisees accusing the Soldiers of falling asleep.

    Mary Magdalene, Martha and another, went to complete the burial tradition; nd saw the empty tomb and alerted the soldiers! Mary Magdalene ran across town to tell the Disciples what had happened. Peter believed.

    Three days later Jesus is resurrected and walks out; fully alive. Well over 500 people saw him over the next month. The sightings were recorded. His disciples witnessed Jesus rise through the air up into clouds.

    The greatest witness of all, is that all these events were written in the Bible as PROPHESIES, before they began to be fulfilled to the letter. First one being Genesis 3:15. Jesus crushed Satans neck with his foot.

    These aren't made up information. They were recorded by Jesus's Disciples; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Later the Bible was made with all of the Books written.

    Recently the Jewish Museum in Israel opened to allow people to see the scrolls. Restored and able to be read by visitors in original language. Scrolls can be seen online too.

    Jesus is who He said he is: I AM.

    I am one of those people who got a peek at Hell. I was a bad person. Isaiah 14. People in it scream non-stop. They are tormented.

    Don't go there. Repent and commit your life to Jesus. Signs show he's returning soon. Keep coming in here. We can help you.

    Mishael
