Problem of Genesis 1&2

[AandW_Rootbeer]

Genesis One is like an Outline highlighting what God did during His Creation.

Genesis Two gets down to specifics how man relates to the Earth and man's purpose concerning the Earth and the relationship to God's Creation to both man and Earth.

 

Genesis One, we get that God created man.

Genesis Two, we see the specifics to how God created man.

 

Genesis Two clarifies and confirms Genesis One.

Well that is one way of reading Genesis, but from this flows many problems:

the sequence and description of creative events in Genesis 2 does not line up with Genesis 1;

and the problem for YEC of where did Cain procure a wife? Incest with a sister!! 

That the great diversity of human beings on six continents all evolved from just two humans. And again from the family of Noah in just 4,000 years!!  And I thought Darwin was a heretic.

No not at all.

Gen 1:27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

H1254  בּרא  bârâ'

Gen 2:7  when Yahweh God formed the man of dust from the ground, and he blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. 
Gen 2:8  And Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.

H3335  יָצַר  yâtsar

Two very different words because two very different processors were employed by God.

Also worth noting is that Genesis teaches us that Adam was formed after God rested on the seventh "day."

I agree with everything, but would ask, I said Genesis Two is more specific in detail than Genesis One.

 

So, if Genesis One state God created man in His Image and Likeness, there is no process to what is being stated here, only that it happened and the results looks similar to God's Image and Likeness.

 

Doesn't Genesis Two show us the Process to how God created this Image and Likeness via Dust/Forming the Dust = the Image and Likeness?

Yes, like I posted earlier.  First like an abstract for an article in an educational journal followed by the body of the work with more specific details.  It's a literary procédé.

No - Genesis 2 is a different story that takes place after God rested on the seventh 'day.' When Adam was created angels had already trespassed and fallen.

Can you show me where this is found in Chapter Two?

 

Or, any Chapter that makes the direct correlation to your suggestion?

Genesis 2:1  And heaven and earth and all their array were finished. 
2:2  And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. 
2:3  And God blessed the seventh day, and he sanctified it, because on it he rested from all his work of creating that there was to do. 

2:4  These are the generations of heaven and earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made earth and heaven— 
2:5  before any plant of the field was on earth, and before any plant of the field had sprung up, because Yahweh God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no human being to cultivate the ground, 
2:6  but a stream would rise from the earth and water the whole face of the ground
2:7  when Yahweh God formed the man of dust from the ground, and he blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. 
2:8  And Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. 
2:9  And Yahweh God caused to grow every tree that was pleasing to the sight and good for food. And the tree of life was in the midst of the garden, along with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 
2:10  Now a river flowed out from Eden that watered the garden, and from there it diverged and became four branches. 
2:11  The name of the first is the Pishon. It went around all the land of Havilah, where there is gold. 
2:12  (The gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stones are there.) 
2:13  And the name of the second is Gihon. It went around all the land of Cush. 
2:14  And the name of the third is Tigris. It flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. 
2:15  And Yahweh God took the man and set him in the garden of Eden to cultivate it and to keep it. 
2:16  And Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, "From every tree of the garden you may freely eat, 
2:17  but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die." 
2:18  Then Yahweh God said, "it is not good that the man is alone. I will make for him a helper as his counterpart." 
2:19  And out of the ground Yahweh God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and he brought each to the man to see what he would call it. And whatever the man called that living creature was its name. 
2:20  And the man gave names to every domesticated animal and to the birds of heaven and to all the wild animals. But for the man there was not found a helper as his counterpart. 
2:21  And Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man. While he slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh where it had been. 
2:22  And Yahweh God fashioned the rib which he had taken from the man into a woman and brought her to the man. 
2:23  And the man said, "She is now bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh; she shall be called 'Woman,' for she was taken from man." 
2:24  Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall cling to his wife, and they shall be as one flesh. 
2:25  And the man and his wife, both of them, were naked, and they were not ashamed.

So, You believe that Chapter one explains week one of the Earth's existence with Life, and Chapter Two is going into week two?

 

You do not believe that God told Moses here's what happened in Genesis One and here are the specifics to Genesis One found in Genesis Two?

 

So, You believe Genesis One explains the Creation of Adam and Genesis Two explains the Creation of other humans?

 

May I ask, WHO taught you these idealism's?
