we'll deal with the begats when we get there lol

I'm finding it interesting that God created heavens, then earth, then light.

Was the heavens space and the light the sun?

no, the sun came later. Which means it was God's Shekinah Glory, or at least thats what I think

[LadyRaven]

Great idea!

But I have a feeling that a lot of people may lose interest when it gets to Leviticus!

Leviticus fascinates me, so many laws for some things which seem small to me...

But Numbers....snore... I have always had to discipline myself to read that book

Catching up a day late...

Interesting connection, LadyRaven. Now I'll want to look into Ezekiel again...

The light that was shining on day one did not come from the sun.

The following is taken from another discussion about the creation account Post #175:

Could day four possibly be indicative of the Christ coming as a man 4,000 years later? I am the light of the world?

When the daystar shines in your hearts/the moon is illumined by the sun?

Hope you all are following along with me.

Here comes chapter 3

Genesis 3

1. Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

2. And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

3. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

5. For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

6. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

7. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

8. And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

9. And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

10. And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

11. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

12. And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

13. And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

14. And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

15. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

16. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

17. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

18. Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

19. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

20. And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

21. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

22. And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

23. Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

24. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

[Giaour]

It's interesting to note that from the very first sin, they ALL tried to blame it on someone else. LOL

Eve said the serpent tempted her, Adam said the woman gave it to me.

Both tried to cast blame on someone else.

There were 2 trees in the garden.

Did you notice verse 22 that mentions the tree of life?

God KNEW they ate of the tree they were told not to but He asked them anyways which was forcing them to confess.

Verse 16 clearly says that Adam will rule over Eve.

[Giaour]

Read up everyone.

It's going to move fast from here on in.

We already have the worldcreated, man created, man sinned and man expelled from eden.

Thanks, G.

Youre welcome B.

I'd do it if it was only me reading it though.

I needed a push.
