Genesis Chapter 1 Discussion Page 80

To Tom re: Genesis Chap 1 - This story is written in a style well understood by Hebrew people. First the story is told in general and then retold giving details. All scripture is inspired by the Holy Spirit

The earth was void of anything and darkness was over it.The same Spirit of our God which put orderliness in dear earth and filled it with all beauty can do the same with you. Are you troubled, please believe in God and never be shaken

Of all the books of the bible Genesis is the most profound because it tells of mankind origin. It doesn't matter if you believe in
God or not its our beginning.

In Genesis, when GOD separates the light from darkness, HE called the darkness night and light day.The Bible never at one time mention, example Monday GOD created, this, Tuesday GOD created that. The Bible mentioned that on the first day, second, third and so forth. I know night and day so when the darkness fall its time to rest and daylight, its time to work. On the 7th day GOD rests.

Karl, read John 4. God is a spirit. Jesus says so.

Yah word is great and powerful the correct name for God is YAHVAH given to us in two parts
Yah= the ever living self existing one.
Vah= the government of life ,one that brings into existence

I love God and his living word.

THE WORD OF GOD IS GOD HIM SELF, AS HIS IMAGE HERE ON EARTH WE CAN ALSO RECREAT WHAT WE WANT FROM THAT SAME WORLD BECAUSE OUT OF NOTHING HE CREATED SOMETHING WE ARE SEEING TODAY.

Felicia, you must be very smart in the Bible I have learned a few things

To Felicia, I like the bible too, your answer and question made me take few minutes of thinking, it made me relize a few things, thank-you!

good

I LOVE THE LORD AND HIS LIVING WORD , THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF OR LIFE , AMEN💕💕💕

You know I have problems with flesh sometimes but I know if I hold on to JESUS it will all be taken care of when he splits the eastern sky when all dead in Christ shall rise first and those that are alive and well shall be caught up

I injoy it thank you

to William - tough question, Man in the image of GOD? Arms, legs ,fingers, toes? In the beginning of man's tutelage this explanation was sufficient and prudent. When the LORD JESUS gave us a more "advanced" teaching that man's true nature is spirit, not flesh, as explained in John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth... - we have the full explanation - in GOD'S image. Just my opinion, any help?

Was man created in the image and likenes of GOD???

THANK GOD

On Genesis 1:26, God said "let us make man in our image, after our likeness"... God is Spirit . His image is spirit, He made us spirit, only human. Job 32:8; I Corinthians 2:11, Psalms 51:10. verse 29, he talked to them as spirit to spirit
Genesis 2:7 God formed man, and breathe into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. (not the woman yet) v.20 then he formed the woman.

I LOVE GENESIS BECAUSE IT TEACHS ME ALL ABOUT THE WORLD AND OUR ANCESTORS AND OUR REAL GOD WHO CREATED US MAY I BE FILLED WITH HOLY SPIRIT FOR ME TO WON ALL TEMTETIONS AMEN.

To Felicia: Thank you for helping me with my question concerning the creation of man and woman. This now makes total sense and as I reread the two chapters, you gave me an "ah-hah!" moment. Thank you and God bless you for being so kind.

To Felicia But he said Let us make man in our image HE told them to go preach the gospel to all the world baptizing them in the name of the Father Son and the Holy Ghost sounds like three different persons to me one thing for sure Gods word is good

WHEN GOD CREATED THIS WORLD HE GAVE ALL OF US EVERY THING THAT WE WOULD EVER NEED. HE SIMPLY WANT US TO TAKE CARE OF THAT WHICH HE HAS FREELY GIVEN. I SAY NEVER GIVE UP!!!. BE A POSITIVE CHANGE AGENT!!! PS DON'T FORGET TO FORGIVE AND PRAY FOR THOSE THAT DISPITEFULLY USE YOU. LOVE. JJ

To Tom Gen. 2 is an account of what God did in Gen. 1. Gen 2:1 says "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them." It goes on to give a detailed account of how things happened. Gen. 1:27 says "So God created man in his own image, ..." but Gen. 2:7 says "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;..."

To Michael read this Mark 16:16-18 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with NEW TONGUES;They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall reco

To Felicia on "God is one" - I agree with you - God Is One - Deut. 4:39; 6:4; Isa. 42:8; 43:11; 44:6,8; 45:5, 6, 18, 21; 46:9; 47:8, 10; 48:11; Jn.28:20; Matt. 28:29; Acts:2:38; Jn.1:1, 14; 10:30.

To R. MacDonald We all know that God is One but we say God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. "Let us make man in our own image after our likeness" can refer to God's majesty. Verse 27 becomes singular again it says "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him male and female created he them."

To M. Butler Romans 10:9-10 says "That if you shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

To Lillian You are right, God created every person but scripture says all those who will believe in His Son Jesus only them are the children of God. Otherwise they are God's creation. Jh 1:12 One needs to believe in Jesus Christ and to receive Him as their Lord and personal Saviour without which they are not children of God.

Can someone please help me understand? In verses 26-30 God creates man and woman and they are told to multiply and fill the earth and are instructed concerning the benefits He has made for them. But in chapter 2 vs 7 our creator forms Adam because there is no one on earth. I've always been confused by this but embarrassed to question God's word. Thank you for sharing.

The Lord is the eternal being he has no beginning and no end there fore he is the beginning and the end Rev 1:8.All that he created he made in himself Gen 1:1.He is the existent of everything from Genesis 1 that exist because he is spirit John 4:24, John 1:3.Meditate on the word and he will give you the revelation you need Jeremiah 29:13.
