Discuss Genesis 2 Page 16

Hi Elison, The way you addressed you question you have the order of creation correct. God started with Adam and Eve. If they had other people on earth whats the point in forming Adam from the dust of the ground?

( 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. ) And why go through the trouble of taking a rib from Adam to make woman?

In this next verse you see Adam is all alone.

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.)

In this next verse he makes woman!!

Genesis 2:21-22. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

And then he commanded them to populate the earth.

( Genesis 1:28. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: ) notice this next verse, Eve is the mother of ""ALL"" living.

Genesis 3:20. And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

So we come to their Children.

In order to do what God commanded, it's reasonable to believe Adam and Eve had daughters and they populated the earth through their children. I don't understand why people see that's a problem with God!! We do know the world we live in now started with just 8 souls. I hope that helps

God made her a help mate yet she listen to satan and fell from grace.

Verse 18-even though Eve was created as a helper that did not mean that she was inferior. She would work together with Adam to accomplish Jehovah God's purpose for the earth and mankind.

Hi Marilyn, Evil didn't start in Eden, Isaiah 45:7, I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. I think you are meaning "The tree of KNOWLEDGE of good and evil" Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. What happened to man wants he ate of that tree? Genesis 3:7, And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were "NAKED"; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. naked in the bible often expresses sin exposed, and garments often expresses righteousness. Some would say Adam and Eve was clothed with light before the fall, The question is when did they become naked/sinful? When they bit of the fruit? I believe eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil revealed their nakedness to them, The issue was what they did afterwards, "clothed themselves". Their fall was no surprise to God, he set forth the plan of redemption before the world begun, 1st Peter 1:18-20. Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world. The scripture says by one man sin entered the world, not evil. I believe there is a difference between the two by means of definition. Apart from the Holy Spirit man is flesh and lost in the wilderness, and easy prey for Satan. In the millennium man will have a thousand years in the best conditions to evolve with Satan chained up, and prove himself. but after all those years of practice here is what happens. Revelation 20:7-8, And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth. THKS

Norman, May the Spirit grace you with his understanding.

Angels are spirit messengers of God (Spirit). They perform the will of their God (Spirit). They are neither bad or good. Their messages can either be deceit of truth depending on the results their God (Spirit) desires. God (Spirit) uses both (deceit or truth) to cause the outcome he (Spirit) desires.

1 Kings 19-23 And he said, hear therefore the WORD of the Lord (Spirit): I saw the Lord (Spirit) sitting on his throne, and the host of heaven (spirit messengers) standing by him on his right hand and on his left,

(vs) 20 And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall (be killed) at Ramoth-gilead? And one (spirit messenger) said on this manner, and another (spirit messenger) said on that manner.

(vs) 21 And there came forth a spirit (messenger), and stood before the Lord, and said, I (spirit messenger) will persuade him (Ahab).

(vs) 22 And the Lord said unto him (spirit messenger), Wherewith (how)? And he said, I (spirit messenger) will go forth, and be a LYING spirit in the mouth of ALL his (Ahab's) prophets. And he (Lord) said, thou (spirit messenger) shalt persuade him (Ahab), and PREVAIL also; go forth and do so.

(vs) 23 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a LYING spirit in the mouth of all thy (Ahab's) prophets, and the Lord hast spoken evil concerning thee (Ahab).

Job 12:16 .....the deceived and the deceiver are his (Lords)

Ezekiel 14:7-9 .......and cometh to a prophet (of the people) to inquire of him (prophet of the people) concerning me (Lord); I the Lord will answer him (prophet or the people)by myself:

(vs) 9 And if the prophet (of the people) be deceived when he has spoken a thing, I the Lord have deceived that prophet.

May the Spirit grace you with his wisdom. ALL IS OF GOD

"From the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh" ( Mark 10:6-8, quoting Genesis 2:24).

"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet." ( Romans 1:26-27)

The Bible says it so I believe it! I believe every single thing the Bible says! God bless everyone of you and hope to see you in Heaven!

I wish I would get the answers for this question but my email is messed up but I have wondered many times and I know he will but how can Jesus talk to that many people while judging them like billions. I know he will but how? Just think about how many people that is! Everything about Him is amazing! I think we maybe will be in some kind of spirit form? Talking about interesting! God bless each and every one of you!! Amen

Hello Raymond,

I believe we are all going to have to give account of what we have done in our lives whether good or bad.

As in 2 Corinthians 5:10

One thing that some people denote is that there are two different "judgement" seats. As in English we cannot see this. One word they use for "judgement" is "krisis" transliterated from Greek. As it is used for "accusation, condemnation, damnation, judgment" in the Bible. The other word is "bema", also used for "judgement' in English, as the usage in the Bible is " judgment-seat set [foot] on throne." Some people say this is more for handing out rewards rather than condemning.

As there are two verses I know of in the Bible that says a "believer" shall not come into "krisis" or condemnation. One is John 5:24. The other is Romans 8:1 that states there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ.

As 2 Peter 3:7 states "krisis" judgement is kept for the ungodly people.

Hope that helps some. God Bless.

We should not forget that when they were in their mother's womb they were fight. When they were born Jevon held the heel of Esau's foot, meaning, "Why did you come out before me?" He even from babyhood he understands

The rights and privileges of first born. That prove that Jacob has strife, jealousy, unhealthy rivalry and ill motivated. Jacob is also crafty and stingy. Jacob wants to excel more than his elder brother. For collecting the blessings meant for his senior brother, he was intrinsically fraudulent.

Our current days of week came from roman empire.

Yes animals have a soul the soul is breath life Genesis 2:7 thats what God gave man also animals what he didnt give animals is spirit when either man or beast takes his last breath he dies.

you better believe it . He is coming!

Noah's sons were born at different times. His first son was Japheth when Noah was about 500 yrs old. Then came Shem at 502 yrs old & lastly, Ham (unsure how old Noah was at his birth).

Did Noah have triplets?

Where in the Bible does it say you will be know. As you were on earth?

He was prophet, you pick him up in 1st kings 17:1- 2 kings 2:11. hope that helps.

i love learing about christ.

When you study the word soul, Hebrew (Nephesh) and Greek (psuch). Nephesh in Genesis 2:7 is used as a living being (Adam). This gives us the meaning of a soul. Now the word Nephesh (Soul) is also any part of the whole being. Such as the breath, the thoughts, the desire, feelings, etc. Like David in Psalms 42 uses soul many times to express longing and desire.

In " 1 Thessalonians 5:23, "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." Paul is expanding on this idea that our whole being in all aspects is right before God. In fact the first part of the verse he explains this by saying "sanctify you wholly". So in a long way yes Paul understood the nature of man as a collective being with separate attributes, living, thinking, and doing.

Mild Bill.

The resurrection spoken of in the Bible is physical not spiritual. As Christ had a physical resurrection Luke 24:39 so will we be resurrected physically with a new body as stated in 1 John 3:2. The soul as I previously stated is the whole person body and breath ( Genesis 2:7) that will be raised to eternal life, Or raised to eternal destruction.

The doctrine of an immortal soul states that our spirit lives on immediately after death and either acsends to heaven or descend to hell. This is all spiritualistic and not Bible based as I previously stated.

I know that in Genesis, Adam gave the names of all live stock, but who named the days of the week?

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?

The first question one needs to ask is what is a Soul. The common belief is that a soul is the spiritual part of us, is eternal, and in passing our soul either ascend to heaven or descends to hell. Although in Genesis 2:7 we read that a Soul is the whole person (body and breath). The early Reformers taught and believed this.

Now what about death. The Bible talks about death as sleep. Psalm 13:3 "Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death". Jesus said in Luke 11:11 "--Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep."

The idea of an eternal soul is not Biblical. If we have within us an eternal soul that lives on after death then what need is there of a resurrection or the second coming of Christ. Paul explains this in 1 Corinthians 15:12-58.

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?
