Discuss Genesis 2 Page 30

The Lord rested on the 7th day, he did not say He rested on the resurrection day.

Creation began in Genesis 1:1 and ended in Genesis 2:2. EVERYTHING we believe is determined by our interpretation of these verses! Only a literal interpretation gives us a standard (an anchor) for everything else we believe. If man's science seems to contridic God's Word, man's science is simply wrong.

What is the devil's real name

Christine, when we begin our journey with the Lord we turn to ask many questions, but that is okay because we want to know all about God at a go which is not possible by no means. However as we continue steadily searching Him through scripture God reveals Himself and we get most of our questions answered by the Word of God and we become satisfied and friends of God and not angry with God.

We use Sunday as God's holy day because that's the day Jesus was resurrected from the dead. The Jews and 7th Day Adventist church use Saturday as the Sabbath, God's holy day. Does it matter which day? I don't think so, my Lord and Savior arose Sunday from the dead, so I worship God that day. If others do it Saturday that's their way. Have u heard of a circumsized heart that makes days immaterial.

Christine; How are you not afraid to reproach God's character? Wasn't that the very thing that the woman sinned in, when she was beguiled by slandering God? That kind of thinking comes right from the devil! As to why God created the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil; there's a LOT of things we have to learn from God, what is His purpose in them! God made everything VERY GOOD! Men have corrupted!

Why did he put the tree of knowledge of good and evil for in the first place? If we were made of his image why not make us exactly like him knowing what he expected us to know? If we have evil in this world it was god choice. He decided to create everything good and bad.

Martha: Saturday is The Day of Rest. Verse 2-3. Sunday is The First Day

Daybreak; You say that God inspired the Scriptures; but is offended if we really understand them? That makes no sense whatever! Why then would God have gone through all the pain and trouble, and so many of His servants been persecuted and killed, to bring us the Word; when there's no way to understand it accurately? THE HOLY SPIRIT IS SENT TO US TO TEACH US ALL THINGS AND TO GUIDE US IN ALL TRUTH!

Martha; the seventh day is Shabbat (Sabbath). The names of Saturday and Sunday came through Nimrod and the heathen worship he forced men into by the force of the sword. If you look in a good Collegiate Dictionary you can still find the meaning of the names of the days of the week; and all are rooted in Baal and Ashtaroth (Nimrod and his wife) heathen antichrist...Sun-day Moon-day(etc) Saturn-day.

One thing that is not clear to is the seventh day that God rested , was it on Sunday or Saturday ? , can you please make me to
Understand .

Hi Donna,I believe the rivers you ask about are the Tigris and Euphrates,both in current day iraq

Does anyone know what the rivers are in verses 11-14? The only one I recognize is the Euphrates and the land of Ethiopia, is that the Nile? I found the Euphrates but it says its in Mesopotamia which is where? It's not clear in Strongs concordance and my maps don't include it.

Donna; Yes, and yes! When they sinned they died spiritually and were ashamed; and we know how very terrible it is to be ashamed! And these being the first humans to ever experience this, and that, from perfect purity and innocence; we can only guess how very terrible! As we read the story; the pronouncement of Christ coming to break the serpent's head was that whereon they were released to live.

7: God formed man, breathed in him, and man became a living soul. Now earlier it said in God's image, so that means God is a living soul. Right? Then when Adam sinned God said he would surely die, but we know physically he lived for quite a while after being evicted from the garden of Eden. So was it that he died at a later date or could it mean that his soul died or he as a living soul died?

On the other hand, however we may see through a glass darkly, and struggle sometimes with each other to all be sound and confirmed sure in our understanding; isn't it a most profitable exercise for us to talk of the things of the Lord? When one has a little knowledge, and can by the Lord's ability, convey that to his brethren, that's a good thing! We're all LEARNING to be meek and lowly of heart:)

Studying,researching discussing the bible in order to better understand God's word is vital to our growth relationship with Him. However it is wrong prideful for us to try to 'figure God out' by not accepting that the bible says precisely what God intended,precisely the way God intended the words to be written. God must be so sad when we bend His scripture to suit our inferior finite minds

The entire narrative from Genesis 2:9 until Revelation 22:2 marks the return of the Tree of Life. The knowledge from the Tree of Good and Evil is shown in the entire bible, but with all the scientific advancements eternal life is unattainable without Jesus Christ and unsustainable without the Tree of Life. I come quickly informs the believer that his reward is in hand. Unbeliever be warned.

When, Oh when, will all the liars and unbelievers and speakers against the Word be silenced? What are they thinking who they are, to open their little mouths against the Almighty God? For they say, Oh, we're College educated, and modern rational thinkers; we KNOW that the Bible doesn't really mean what it says, because we're too smart for that! Well, we'll see who's smart, and who's word stands!

In Genesis 2:4 it says in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heaven's . in verse 5 it says and every plant of the field before it 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 man to till the ground. Thete a very distinct difference between the field. And the earth.

Jack-E: The last Day of Creation was on the Sixth Day. When you feel The Lord Tugging on Your Heart,ask Forgiveness. Checkout Genesis 2:1

Jeff Berry if that's what you want to believe then that's your way. I don't know much about what science says nor so called Christians or Jews and my Exhaustive Strong's Concordance is before 1970 and I notice the new Strong's is like reading a NIV Bible both should be used for a camp fire. I look up words and Foundation in the N.T. Translated, oh, check it out. Supprise yourself

Word; the first 3 words in the Bible are foundational. Christians and Jews have traditionally, overwhelmingly translated this to mean the absolute beginning. Again, you are trying to make the Bible fit man's science. If Science says that the earth existed before the six days of creation then the science is wrong. Trust the Word of God not man's science. Blessings!

I don't know what's going on here but I'm reading the 1611 version and in verse 9 where it says "And out of the ground" the "the" is a thorn old Runic letter for "th" and a little tiny e. Which is how I think "the" would have been spelled in those days, But it's only in that one verse. If you do a Ctrl F search it goes away. I don't know why.

Genesis 2:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

Jeff berry God covered the earth with many different races when He made that statement and that's the truth. I could tell you that God was speaking to us at the time. Also we lived on earth for millions of years until the katabole and this first chapter is the rejuvenation of the earth after it was submerged in water when God got mad. Why, check

Word: Your statement concerning chapter 1:26 ("God created people around the earth, different races...") is intended to support your belief in evloution. Any time science contridics scripture, science is wrong. 1:26 is referring to the human race, there is only 1 race. The idea of many races is necessary to support evolutionary theory. Trust the Bible until science corrects itself!

Search the tree of good and evil all the way and you find out it had a nervous system and a backbone. Then the tree of Life is in the Revelation. Don't read to fast and always take time to search the words out and you'll learn the truth.

Word,Cain was"turned aside after Satan"as in 1Tim. 5:15, and Job 2:6. John 8:44 (Cain)"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do"God calls the devil a murderer(so was Cain)Cain did not abide in truth(John14:6),Satan is a liar and the father of lies.What scripture were you thinking of when you said "Satan had Cain" 1Tim.1:4- God's instructions are"don't heed fables"

Word,story of creation is not a fable or parable.Gen2:8,9,15,16,17.Gen3:1-7=Satan deceived Eve.The two trees are the tree of Life, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. After she ate she had knowledge of good and evil.When she and Adam confessed,God cursed them both,removed them, and guarded the garden so they would not have access to the tree of Life. Cain was Adam and Eve's son.
