¹ In the beginning God created the Heauen, and the Earth.

² And the earth was without forme, and voyd, and darkenesse was vpon the face of the deepe: and the Spirit of God mooued vpon the face of the waters.

³ And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

⁴ And God saw the light, that it was good: and God diuided the light from the darkenesse.

⁵ And God called the light, Day, and the darknesse he called Night: and the euening and the morning were the first day.

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

⁷ And God made the firmament; and diuided the waters, which were vnder the firmament, from the waters, which were aboue the firmament: and it was so.

⁸ And God called the firmament, Heauen: and the euening and the morning were the second day.

⁹ ¶ And God said, Let the waters vnder the heauen be gathered together vnto one place, and let the dry land appeare: and it was so.

¹⁰ And God called the drie land, Earth, and the gathering together of the waters called hee, Seas: and God saw that it was good.

¹¹ And God said, Let the Earth bring foorth grasse, the herbe yeelding seed, and the fruit tree, yeelding fruit after his kinde, whose seed is in it selfe, vpon the earth: and it was so.

¹² And the earth brought foorth grasse, and herbe yeelding seed after his kinde, and the tree yeelding fruit, whose seed was in it selfe, after his kinde: and God saw that it was good.

¹³ And the euening and the morning were the third day.

¹⁴ ¶ And God said, Let there bee lights in the firmament of the heauen, to diuide the day from the night: and let them be for signes and for seasons, and for dayes and yeeres.

¹⁵ And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heauen, to giue light vpon the earth: and it was so.

¹⁶ And God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the starres also.

¹⁷ And God set them in the firmament of the heauen, to giue light vpon the earth:

¹⁸ And to rule ouer the day, and ouer the night, and to diuide the light from the darkenesse: and God saw that it was good.

¹⁹ And the euening and the morning were the fourth day.

²⁰ And God said, Let the waters bring foorth aboundantly the mouing creature that hath life, and foule that may flie aboue the earth in the open firmament of heauen.

²¹ And God created great whales, and euery liuing creature that moueth, which the waters brought forth aboundantly after their kinde, and euery winged foule after his kinde: and God saw that it was good.

²² And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitfull, and multiply, and fill the waters in the Seas, and let foule multiply in the earth.

²³ And the euening and the morning were the fift day.

²⁴ ¶ And God said, Let the earth bring forth the liuing creature after his kinde, cattell, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kinde: and it was so.

²⁵ And God made the beast of the earth after his kinde, and cattell after their kinde, and euery thing that creepeth vpon the earth, after his kinde: and God saw that it was good.

²⁶ ¶ And God said, Let vs make man in our Image, after our likenesse: and let them haue dominion ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the aire, and ouer the cattell, and ouer all the earth, and ouer euery creeping thing that creepeth vpon the earth.

²⁷ So God created man in his owne Image, in the Image of God created hee him; male and female created hee them.

²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said vnto them, Be fruitfull, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and haue dominion ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the aire, and ouer euery liuing thing that mooueth vpon the earth.

²⁹ ¶ And God said, Behold, I haue giuen you euery herbe bearing seede, which is vpon the face of all the earth, and euery tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yeelding seed, to you it shall be for meat:

³⁰ And to euery beast of the earth, and to euery foule of the aire, and to euery thing that creepeth vpon the earth, wherein there is life, I haue giuen euery greene herbe for meat: and it was so.

³¹ And God saw euery thing that hee had made: and behold, it was very good. And the euening and the morning were the sixth day.

Bro. Daniel FC's Genesis Chapter 1 comment on 5/18/2013, 4:24am...

@ Andre\' Petrossians
Hello Andre! You have written quite a sermon there: I find it very interesting. But there are a few things that you need to reconsider in order to “comply” with what the Bible is teaching. It is very important, when you make a statement, to back it up with a Book, chapter and verse; otherwise that statement remains your own opinion… Because of space restraint, I’ll take one issue at a time, if I may.
You say: “In God's plan to create man, He did not predestine man to sin, NEITHER DID HE FOREORDAIN REDEMPTION. We are not minimizing the importance of redemption, but only SAYING THAT REDEMPTION WAS NOT FOREORDAINED BY GOD. If it were, then man would have to sin.”
Now, here’s what Apostle Peter is saying in his First Epistle, Chapter 1: “18 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; 19 BUT WITH THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 WHO VERILY WAS FOREORDAINED BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, but was manifest in these last times for you…”
I can see your dilemma facing this “conundrum”. I agree that man was not preordained to sin; however, our omniscient God in His wisdom provided The Solution for sin, before it happened: THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST. There is a much deeper and more important issue connected to man’s creation and fall. Until next time, God’s blessings.

It says in the beginning and that is what I believe it means.

Garyloyd newman's Genesis Chapter 1 comment on 5/15/2013, 1:00am...

If you go to proverbs 8 around verse 22 to 31 you will see how God created the earth with wisdom and the family was there rejoicing over it's beauti.

Garyloyd's Genesis Chapter 1 comment on 5/15/2013, 12:56am...

fields has it right and if you go to Isaiah 45:18,19 you will see the earth established and created to be inhabited.

J. Fields's Genesis Chapter 1 comment on 5/10/2013, 1:15pm...

"In the beginning"...this does not say when. God created nothing in vain or void. It is His favorite place in the universe. The Bible does not disagree with science as some believe. This earth is millions of years old! This earth age was due to the destruction of the first earth age (because of Satan's pride, God had to destroy an age, not His children. This earth age is for each of us to decide who we will follow: God or Satan. The account of "creation" of land, vegetation & animal life are actually a recreation. He tells man & woman to "multiply, and replenish" the earth, not "start from scratch". Something happened for this earth to "begin again"...Satan's downfall. The word was can be (and I believe correctly) translated from the original Hebrew manuscripts as became as in "the earth became void". "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2Timothy 2:15. I know most people will not agree with me, be that as it may. God knows truth. Someday we will all know His Truth completely. May God bless and give understanding to those who seek it and ask Him for it. Amen.

it was excellent and extrapordinary how earth and everything else was initially created by our havenly father. I love you havenly father I can not live without you or die without knowing sufficiently you in my life

Rachel's Genesis Chapter 1 comment on 5/07/2013, 10:59am...

"When god says, in chapter 29, I have given every herb bearing seed and tree yielding seed, to you it shell be for meat, does it mean that humans were supposed to eat vegetables?"

Originally they did. Then, after the flood, God told Noah he could eat kosher animals. Then a long time later Peter had a vision from God telling him he could eat all animals. I think that's right.

Shelly's Genesis Chapter 1 comment about verse 3 on 5/07/2013, 10:41am...

I believe the Light was Jesus and the evidence of this comes from Jesus himself who speaks He is the Light of the world. What confirms it for me comes in 2 Corinthians 4:1-6.
