Creation???

[OneLight]

Then can you tell me why Adam was the only one place in God's garden alone, and was created before the trees, plants animals etc. and Eve was taken out of Adam after he could find no mate amongst the animals?

Adam was created on the sixth day. Adam was not created before the animals and plant life. Genesis 2 is a summation of Gen. 1, not a separate creation account.

I am sorry, but you some very strange stuff and some very sloppy theology. What kind of church do you attend?

What CHURCH DO I ATTEND? Does that mean that you believe there are more than ONE BODY OF CHRIST? Is Christ divided? I belong to the true body of Christ, for the Word is my authority, there is but one Father, one Word and one Spirit and these three are one. And we must all eat of the same Bread.

This is my teacher:

1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him

KJV

Exactly where do you see here that Adam, who was the first chosen of God and knew Him as LORD, was created AFTER ALL OTHER THINGS on the 6th day?? Do you take mans opinion or God's Word as your truth? Notice is says BEFORE?

Notice the sequence of Adams creation, then reread the 6th day man's account of their creation in Genesis. You will see that those men and woman came AFTER all other things. Not my words, God's Word.

Gen 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

5 And every plant of the field BEFORE 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 a man to till the ground.

6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

Genesis 1

King James Version (KJV)

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And 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.

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

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening 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 divide the waters from the waters.

7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

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

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,

18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

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

20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29 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.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Amen~!

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. Genesis 2:1-3

Amen~!

For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Exodus 20:11

[Fraught]

Adam was the first man and was the chosen of God placed in God's garden and in his account in Gen.2:2 you will see that he knew God as LORD. But the man and woman created on the 6th day in Gen. 1, He was only known as God. Read it for yourself. Adam created BEFORE all other things and alone, and the two on the 6th day were created AFTER ALL THINGS. These were the nations who were given the rest of the earth outside God's garden and told to REPLENISH the earth. Fill it back up!! The same will be again~Because Blessed is he who calls upon the name of the LORD, not just know him as God and do not obey His Word.

This is false. Genesis 1 tells us of the creation of Adam and Eve. Genesis 2 is a summation of the creation and it focuses on the sixth day when God made Adam and Eve. The man and woman in Genesis 1 and Adam and Eve of Genesis 2 are one and the same. These are not two separate creation accounts. Genesis 1 and 2 are the same account spread out over two chapters. When the Bible was originally written it did not have chapter and verse breaks. Chapter breaks did not come about until the 13th century AD. So when you remove the chapter break you see one continuous account of the same story of creation.

Therefore, your premise fails.

i know i'm late but . . . i learned that the truth falls somewhere between. in a way, there is a 2nd creation account as we are being created in the 'image and likeness of God. i.e. the first adam, earthly, the 2nd adam, well, we know that's Jesus and the 2nd creation of US - in that same image through the new birth. the 2nd creation account, instead of being a summary, being prophecy - of Jesus and those members of His Body, the New Creation. very obviously, not every human being carries the image and likeness of God.

People have WAY overcomplicated this question.

God took 6 literal days so as to model the week. In the 10 commandments, the 4th one restates that God created everything in 6 days, period. People choose to ignore this literallism because they think science is smarter than God. True science always agrees with the Bible, and evolution is not only BAD science, its an outright false teaching. There are so many holes in the evolution myth, I still can't believe I thought that junk was real for so long.

Amen and Amen! God gave us the details of His Creation in Genesis for a reason. God didn't answer all of our questions, but He did tell us what He wanted us to know.

Genesis 1:26-28 ASV And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Genesis 2:7 ASV And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

.... I find scientific evidence to support evolution through God. Yom can be a long but unspecified period of time. It's all in interpretation....

Pretty

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Colossians 1:16-17

And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. Genesis 1:23

Scientifically (Like A Child)

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. Mark 10:15

Although its true that the word day can and sometimes does mean a long period of time, this CANNOT be the case with creation. In Hebrew, every single time the word day is used WITH a numerical number, it ALWAYS means s literal day. There are no exceptions to this. If the Genesis account is, it would be the only one, and there simply is no evidence for it, just people who want it to be so. Besides that, I have seen ALOT of real science that PROVES the earth has to be very young, no more than 100,000 years old or so. A new thread for that topic would be helpful I think. When it comes down to it, either Darwin is right or God is right, but they can't both be and we DO have to choose.

Genesis is simple enough for a child to understand, and it's God's Word. God the Creator could care less about man's so-called science and even less for Darwin. They both can't be true, nor are they compatible, so you either believe Genesis or call God a liar.

AMEN TO THAT. Why is it we have such a hard time believing God actually means what he says. If I say I did something in 6 days, I certainly mean 6 days, and I imagine everyone reading this would assume I meant 6 literal days. So why is it that we don't take God as literally as we do ourselves and eachother. God means what he says and says what he means. Please brothers and sisters, take him at his word as a child would, and QUIT trying to find hidden secret meanings in what he says or trying to put words in his mouth and make him say what he NEVER said. God Bless.
