14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon 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 stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."
Reading this verse makes me think that the tree of knowledge of good and evil did not bear seed.
The seventh day is Saturday, not Sunday. The Sabbath was changed by Rome. Yes, the seventh day is significant. Along side the spirit of prophecy, and the testimony of Jesus, the Sabbath, Saturday, the seventh day, is a theme running through the entire Holy Writ. It will play an important role in the "end time" for those that receive the seal of God in the forehead. Those that don't have the seal of God will not keep the Sabbath but Sunday. Sunday worship was done by pagans and the sole reason the children of Israel would've led into captivity for their apostacy. Fooling yourself about what the seventh day is doesn't change the reality God clearly, plainly, and consistently, claimed Saturday His holy day, not Sunday.
Genesis describes the creation of life on earth. This involves God creating creatures who live on land, sea and air. There was also the creation of Man, with the first man called Adam, who lived in the garden of Eden. God later formed Women because God did not want Adam to live on his own. Also they had to avoid some fruit from certain trees, because eating from them would result in death immediately. On the seventh day of creating earth and all living things, he rested from all his works, which relates in todays terms, Sunday is the Seventh Day and a day of rest and the day people worship in Church. This Chapter is one of the most important chapters of the Bible and the events leading up to the creation of earth and what happened on the Seventh day still effects us today.
That is a very good question. We are only saved when we are in direct contact with God. The direct contact is called the Holy Spirit. A man is only saved when he has the Holy Spirit. That is the assurance from God that we are his child, and He is our Father.
So Jesus Christ was telling Peter that after he received the Holy Spirit he is to strengthen the Church. (There could also be an allusion to how Peter was going to deny Jesus three times.)
Deeper Study of Scriptures that seem vague - In Reply on Genesis 2 - 3 years ago
If your Bible has center of each page, reference with the little abc's imbedded in the scriptures; which point you to a matching letter in the columns.
It may point you to other scriptures that enhance your scripture you are studying OR it may point you to a prophesy that has been fulfilled or is to be soon fulfilled.
Or you can type your scripture in Google, then type 'commentaries' beside it. Read some of the commentaries and it may help you in your study "of hard sayings".
2cd Edras 6;54 And after these, Adam also whom thou madest lord of all thy creatures, of him come wee all, and the people also whom thou hast chosen.
55All this haue I spoken before thee, O Lord, because thou madest the world for our sakes.
56As for the other people which also come of Adam, thou hast said that they are nothing, but be like vnto spittle, and hast likened the abundance of them vnto a drop that falleth from a vessell.
Even IF there was a dual/parallel creation by God, Genesis chapter 6 declares that God would "destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them". Genesis 6:7. "But Noah found grace in the Eyes of the LORD".
So IF all the "creations" of God were destroyed by the flood, bar the "eight souls" ( 1 Peter 3:20), & I'm a Gentile (a part of the first creation & not of Adam's line) & therefore not in the line of Adam - Noah - Abraham - David - Jesus, then in fact, I don't exist.
And IF God's Judgement by the flood was restricted only to Adam's progeny because of their "wickedness being great", then why overlook those "Gentiles" who would also have been wicked because of their sin & not include them in the worldwide destruction - or maybe they were sinless & needed no judgement as we're not told that sin was in them nor passed onto them? Then this might give some added weight to our 'sinless perfection' brethren's argument, sans their need of Christ. The mind starts to boggle indeed. Or, maybe there's a link that I've missed.
God created mankind called the gentiles so to speak
Then God created Adam, a special man who's seed line would lead to Abraham and the Israelites in who's seed shall lead to the promised seed Jesus the Christ
In Genesis chapter 1, the names of the first man & woman are not given, except that God created man (Heb. ha-a-dam) on the sixth day of creation, from which the name Adam is generally applied to this first man.
Then in Genesis chapter 2, God continues to refer to this creation as "man", until verse 19, where God refers to this man as Adam. When the time came to create someone else to be a companion & help to Adam, he created "woman" (Heb. is-sah), to which Adam also referred to her, as she "was taken out of man".
In Genesis 3:20, "And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living". Now Adam refers to is-sah, calling her, Eve (Heb. haw-wah) & through their union, they became as "one flesh".
However, if your question infers whether the creation of mankind in chapter 1 is different from the reference to mankind in the other chapters, then that would be an incorrect deduction, as chapter 1 gives God's Creative Work on the "six days" whereas the other chapters expands on chapter 1 & takes the subsequent events after creation further. Therefore, man & woman in chapter 1 are the same Adam & Eve in chapters 2 & 3.
I've heard some really shocking rapture predictions tho past week, or so. Dreams, visions.
Rapture mentions in scripture: OT and NT are all through the Bible. God inspired it.
You have to read it and pray daily, pray long, listen with all your strength. Fast. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the mystery.
We can't just say stuff like "hit me with some truth, Holy Spirit". Try to observe some reverence and worship.
Lastly, use some common sense. A deep relationship with the Holy Spirit is vital. It is needful to hear for yourself instead of running to and fro asking for other people's (humankind) point of view. It must be backed by scrip
We are waiting for the times of the Gentiles to be fulfilled. We are the Elect until that is completed. THEN the election will pass back to the Jews. I'm not going to debate this. Too many baseless debates go on in here.
Jesus is not going to suffer (allow) His Bride to go through the Tribulation.
People are preaching that she will go through the entire Tribulation; she will go through an asteroid strike that will make all water on earth poisonous. No. The Brides, Bridegroom is going to fetch her off the earth! She will meet her Bridegroom in the clouds.
Notice in Revelation the His feet do not touch the ground. The next time His feet touch the ground, will be at the Mount of Olives.
You ask the Holy Spirit about the election!
Why has the Church been waiting to see the Return of the exiled Jews to begin to return to their homeland? Prophesy is falling into place. People who study prophesy, know these things. The recently signed Abrahamic Accord signed between Israel and some Arab nations; that lasts for 7 years___is HUGE!! ALL dreams and visions will agree with scripture. If God didn't say it in scripture: it may be a pizza dream.
The Bride will not be here to be confronted by Antichrist. Hint: Go circle that Abraham Accord date on your calendar.
i thank the lord for his great and marvellous providences to all mankind and animal kind
through his spirit leading, I came to realize there is someone up there somewhere who controls the whole universe
without him there would be no existence of our being. I really appreciate the God who understand my every single moments each day when I doubt or when am blunt conscious of my own ways.
please lord forgive and give me the strength of mind and lead me in the way everlasting
may God show me the way to eternal life. God bless his children forevermore
I see God put the man in the garden, and a garden is where things grow; Eve was formed in the garden because she will be the garden of children. One river enters the garden and turns into four heads. These four heads could be a representation of a family, a father, a mother, a boy and a girl.
The Word of God is so timeless! I know sometimes, I get caught up on other chapters in the Bible, but it is always refreshing, to go back to the Book Of Genesis!, where it all began, it's like going back to the fundamentals of the faith. When I read the OT, I ask the Holy Spirit to see Christ!
Angels are described in Scripture as having light associated with their appearance or presence; Acts 12:7, 2 Corinthians 11:14, Revelations 18:1.
Again, I stated that Adam and Eve were AS angels of light; because they had not at that point in time sinned yet. They were as pure as a human could be. I never said I read that in Scripture.
I stated that the covering that God put on them MAY have been actual skin. I never said I read that in Scripture either.
I accept that you did not say they were Angels of lights. But a lot of times when (as) is used in this manner it seems to, imply that a fact is being stated. Example: As the owner of the house, he/she may pick the style of decoration. But if you want to show simular traits you would use the word (like). Example: Like the owner of the house, the tenant may pick the style of decoration. This is why I thought you were stating a fact instead of making a comparison.
As far as the animal skins, I have heard that from preachers over the years. And for my education, where did you read in the Bible that Adam and Eve were as/like angels of light with God putting on them human skin after the fall?
That is a very good and truthful verse. We who live by faith & trust, in the Lord, flourish in keeping our peace. I'm sure all of us in Christ love you brother and you have our prayers. Also sorry to see you go. I myself will not argue with someone else but will try to plant a seed, of the Lord, whenever possible. As it is the Will of God if it grows or not. God Bless you Carleton!
Genesis 1
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon 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 stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."
Reading this verse makes me think that the tree of knowledge of good and evil did not bear seed.

Peace and love in Christ
What did Jesus mean by saying "after you are converted"?
I have always thought, because Jesus "CHOSE" His disciples, they were already "saved".
Could it be that Jesus had not yet shed His blood whereby men can be "saved" through faith That His blood is salvation?

55All this haue I spoken before thee, O Lord, because thou madest the world for our sakes.
56As for the other people which also come of Adam, thou hast said that they are nothing, but be like vnto spittle, and hast likened the abundance of them vnto a drop that falleth from a vessell.
Can someone break this down?
So IF all the "creations" of God were destroyed by the flood, bar the "eight souls" ( 1 Peter 3:20), & I'm a Gentile (a part of the first creation & not of Adam's line) & therefore not in the line of Adam - Noah - Abraham - David - Jesus, then in fact, I don't exist.
