Genesis Chapter 1 Discussion Page 103

Hello Linda Templet: I have already addressed the question you ask. If you would please go to page 5 up under this Chapter where I gave Russel2079 a 4 part answer to this same question date 10-14-14 times 10:12 pm and 10:13pm, you will find my answer to your question.

Can we spiritually understand what God is saying when He said, "let US make man in our image AFTER our likeness "? What sort or kind of Image is God 's Image? The Bible says that God IS A SPIRIT. Spirit is the thinking, feeling, motivating part of man. This verse is not talking about a physical body being made at all it is talking about a certain kind of Spirit being made AFTER the likeness of God. God did not make my body He made my Spirit AFTER His likeness. Understandest what you are reading? This is where we are failing. One must rightly divide the Word of God. We are reading a Spiritual Book that makes us feel certain things as we read it, this book makes us think, and this book motivates the people, who understand what they are reading, to stand up against all evil which is trying to take over our country. God is a SPIRIT. This book teaches US how to STAND UP for the good of all people. So let us Christians get out there and do like God instructs us to do. Let US make man in our image AFTER OUR GODLY LIKENESS.

Praise the almighty God for HIS WORD. IT IS SO POWERful. God 's word stand true. When you look out over the world we see that IT HAD TO BE A GOD THAT created the worlds, To my understanding. God was always there. I know that Geneses is just it is . the beginning of the world as we know it. I thank Almighty God for giving us our history.

Praise the Almighty God for His word. IT IS SO POWERFUL. God's word stand the true. When you look out over the earth, we see that it is God that created the earth, To my understanding. God was always there. I know that Genesis is about creation of the universe.

Hello RNM: There are many scriptures. Ephesians 4: 4 thru 6 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all ". Remember the Bible is talking to saved people. These people have followed Acts 2: 38 to become save and have the one faith. This faith is in Jesus Christ by following the Apostles Doctrine. One baptism, which is in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. One Lord who is Jesus Christ, who is God manifested in the flesh. We, who hold onto the faith, have felt the true godly sorrow that pricks a person in their heart which leads to true repentance, 2 Corinthians 7: 9 and 10. This true repentance leads to salvation through which you are filled with the true Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the spirit of God gives utterance. AMEN

Wayfarer if you read Isaiah 45 vs 18 you find that the earth in the beginning was created beautiful and inhabited. Proverbs 8 vs 22 to 31 will tell you wisdom was with God and at the end you see the sons of men were rejoicing as in Job 38 vs 7 on the same subject the stars sang rejoicing and the sons of God and that was every soul created. Then there was a katabole meaning cast down overthrow by Satan. Google search the Companion Bible appendix then scroll down to 146 to worlds. Stars are children and when you read Rev. 12 Satan set up a political party and then with his lies he stole a third of Gods children. Anyway in Jeremiah 4 vs 23 to 27 you see the destruction or the earth turned to wilderness without form. This Genesis here is rejuvenating the earth again and we were sent here for the earth age of salvation.

C.R. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned. You cannot pick one scripture and base an entire belief system around it, there are multiple thousands of words and scriptures we have to take into consideration. There is a path to God, and it is sound and biblical, we cannot make it up as we go, that is not acceptable to God. This prime directive as you call it, is something out of star trek lets try to stay focused on the word and truth for a change. AMEN!!!

Hello RNM: Regarding your post under this section dated 12-29-14 time 5: 01 pm: Discussing the Sabbath is one of those conversations that I have already addressed with you under Revelation Chapter 22 in 3 parts, date 12-27-14 time 10:37 am. However, as I stated for a true Christian Sabbath is every day. We are to live save every day. We are not supposed to pick one day and live saved. If mankind wants to change the Sabbath, that is between them and God. In the end, the prime directive during this Dispensation of Grace is following Acts 2: 38. Getting saved, living saved, and staying saved is what we are to do.

I agree with RNM about Gen 1:1 We don 't know when this was. All I can say is that Earth is old though life, trees and herbs on earth are still young for earth was created in the beginning,and in the beginning there is no time stated. Human time only started in Gen 1:3-5. And I agree as well with ECR, it doesn 't matter how old is the earth, because it 's nothing to do with our salvation.

Hello RNM I was not agreeing with Judy on everything she wrote. I was agreeing with the post 12 26 14 time 9 19 pm. where Judy stated that God 's power and energy is inexhaustible. I backed this up with the fact that God is Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent. Then I went on to correct the part about science. I have already responded to many post about the creation.

If you all are going to post your comments at least state your comments accurately, Gen 1 1 says in the beginning God created the Heaven and Earth. We don 't know when this was because it doesn 't state that. We do know in Verse 2 it says the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Verse 3 And God said let there be light, and there was light. verse 4 5 So God called the light day and the darkness night and the evening and morning were the 1ST DAY all that was, created on the first day was the SUN, quit trying to rewrite the Bible It wasn 't until the 4th day that God created the moon and stars. Your friend C.R. agrees with you Judy but that don 't surprise me, really, what 's its going the hurt to be accurate and not misleading, if you really love the Lord. AMEN

Hello Judy You are correct. The God we serve is Omnipotent He is all powerful , Omniscient He knows all things , and Omnipresent He is everywhere. Science is not always correct. When it comes to science verses The Bible and God, we should always stay with God. If science backs up God s word then alright. However, when science is in opposition of God and his word, we are not even supposed to give it second thought, 1 Timothy 6 20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called For years science has stated the Big Bang Theory is how the earth began. Now some scientist is saying it is false the science does not add up. God and his word supersede science.

Hello RNM In my post I did state it is alright to know how old the Earth is, however there has been other conversations and debates on this subject. In the end, knowing how old the earth is does not save or tell a person how to become saved. The most important thing is telling people how to be saved and stay saved. Sometimes the enemy uses conversations such as how old is the earth and how many animals was on the ark to distract us from the prime directive. Knowing how old the earth is will not stop the coming destruction.

Genesis 1 1, 2 relates to a time before the six days outlined above. When these days commenced, the sun, moon, and stars were already in existence, their creation being referred to at Genesis 1 1. However, prior to these six days of creative activity the earth proved to be formless and waste and there was darkness upon the surface of the watery deep. Ge 1 2 Apparently, a swaddling band of cloud layers still enveloped the earth, preventing light from reaching its surface.

Our unimaginably vast universe gives evidence that God 's power and energy are inexhaustible. Read Isaiah 40 26. Modern science is aware that matter can be changed into energy and energy into matter. Our sun, a star, provides an example of matter being turned into energy. Every second, the sun converts about four million tons of matter into sunlight and other forms of radiant energy. The small fraction of that energy that reaches us is sufficient to sustain life on the earth. Obviously, tremendous power and energy were required to create not just the sun but also all the other billions of stars. God possesses the energy that was needed and much more.

If you read Geneses chp 1 you can plainly see that it is not talking about the 1000 yrs to a day principle, and besides someone 's one question of how long the Earth has been here doesn 't hardly qualify as being obsessed, wouldn 't you agree, and one other tid bit, of information I think would be useful is That no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother 's way. Rom14 13 AMEN

To those obsessed with the time of creation, one man day is one rotation in relation to the sun. Why would any one think God is in humans time. 2 PETER 3 8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. So how long is GOD 's day, a thousand human years? More likely answer is humans just don 't know.

There is nothing wrong with being curious about GOD 'S creation, I 'm sure our Heavenly Father will open our minds to the unanswerable questions of mankind. Keep the faith and remember the true Sabbath the 7th day. AMEN

Hello JESSEE WANYEKI I humbly ask, does it really matter how old the Earth is? Knowing how old the Earth is does not change the fact that now during the Dispensation of Grace, which is the 6th Dispensation that people need to be saved by following Acts 2 38. People have to ask themselves, is knowing how old the Earth is going to help me get saved? Is knowing how old the Earth is going to help me make the rapture? Is knowing how old the Earth is going to stop the tribulation from coming and the destruction of this Heaven and Earth? The answer to all of these questions is no. It 's alright to know how old the earth is, but what does the knowledge accomplish? Our time is not God s time. Therefore, it does not matter how old it is. It will be destroyed.

How old since then is the earth?

Hello Artwell After you have followed Acts 2 38 you do become lights that cannot be hid, Matthew 5 14 "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid ". Acts 13 47 and Ephesians 5 8.

Hello Thomas Coughran You have to continue to pray for your daughter and hold onto hope that someday, before it is too late, that she will turn to God and get saved. As long as there is breathe in the body, God is still able to get her attention. She has to know that Jesus Christ is alive and well. She has to know that she has to follow Acts 2 38.

After being saved, a person will begin to glow like light in darkness. Christians become light to the world after true prayer and sanctity.

My daughter be leaves in Buda and not God . Breaks my heart

Hello Jeff Thomas Remembering that Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh when you read his declaration in Revelation 1 8 "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending ". This means that he is it. He created everything. Does the pot as the potter who created you? I believe that my existence along with the other creations came by way of God. I do not care where God came from or how he got started the thought that this Divine Being has the power to create life, destroy life, revived life, and dispel any other beliefs when he gets ready automatically lets me know that we serve a mighty God who created everything. Faith is the key to believing that he exist.

The question that all people have is, if God has always been, then how was he created? I am on a new journey to becoming a christian and have always believed in God but, this question of how he became to be is one that is a great mystery to all.

for my it talks about our meat our body because earth, sea, animals, plants and etc.... we are 1

Hello Everyone Adam was the first man that God made, 1 Corinthians 15 45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul the last Adam was made a quickening spirit . The last Adam is Jesus Christ. The name Adam means As a masculine noun, 'adam means "man ", "mankind " usually in a collective context as in humankind. The noun 'adam is also the masculine form of the word adamah which means "ground " or "earth ". It is related to the words adom red , admoni ruddy , and dam blood . Jesus Christ as a man or human he nursed the milk from Mary s breast as God he made the milk that he nursed. Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh.

Hello Thelma Please read my response that I gave to Anonymous on this very subject. It is under this Chapter page 5 dated 10 10 14 time 1 18. It is in three parts. There were no people outside of the Garden of Eden. The first man created was Adam. The first woman created was Eve. She had multiple children. It is not impossible to imagine a woman having more than 50 children. The greatest officially recorded number of children born to one mother is 69, to the wife of Feodor Vassilyev b. 1707 c.1782 , a peasant from Shuya, Russia. In 27 confinements she gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets and four sets of quadruplets.

when God created the earth he created man in his Image Spirit man and then turn around create Adam from the dust to tend to the garden saw that man shouldn 't be alone created woman from his rib. It 's like their were people outside the garden also.????Help me with this!!!!
