incorrectly read?
i am replying to the first post in this thread.
Gen 2:4 states how this chapter will start to talk about the generations of the world. when this says "in the day" it is talking about when God put Adam in the garden. check it
"These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, and ever 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."
thats an entire sentence. this is like me saying:
"i go to my friends house to hang out, when i went there we started off playing DBZ Budokai, then we ate his moms cooking, then we played some more and finally we went to bed."
you see how the first thing i said summarized my entire sentence? well if we look at the chapter in the bible that part summarized the topic of the chapter! keep in mind again that there were no punctuation marks in the hebrew text so it really should say this
"These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created in the day the Lord God made the earth and the heavens and ever 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"
now your an english major lets say, and you need to fix this sentence, without being picky where would you put periods and commas? probably a colon after the first "created" then that would mean that what follows is talking about what happens on earth after teh creation. hm?
quote:
"There was no plants yet (for there was no rain) and no man. Basicly all there was was the sold ground."
how could there be no plants when God clearly says that AND EVERY PLANT OF THE FIELD BEFORE IT WAS IN THE EARTH? just because it didnt rain doesnt mean there was no plants, the mist that came FROM The ground made the plants water. it wasnt only solid ground because God divided the waters, meaning there was WATER and LAND mixed together.
quote:
After the rain, the first thing God did was create flesh man (of the earth). This was before any plants were created.
it didnt rain, rain doesnt come from the earth it comes from the sky.
and no plants were already created as says verse 2:5
quote:
Here we have the first vegetation on the earth, planted in the garden of Eden. Next the man is placed in the Garden.
*buzzing sound* wrong again, god planted the garden of EDEN, only the garden, he had already created the earth with plants and animals THEN he made the garden of EDEN, an isolated incident on earth. its not the first vegetation, its the LAST basically cuz God made everything THEN the garden
there were no contradictions to begin with you made more contradictions lol
heres how the real order goes
1. Heaven and Earth formed
2. LIGHT was created (different from sunlight)
3. divided darkness from light (darkness not created, very important point)
4. Day and night made: FIRST DAY finished
5. Divided waters from the sky (now two sets of waters)
6. SECOND DAY finished
7. brought dry land from the water up and land appeared with the waters BELOW the firmament
8. Grass, Herbs, trees created
9. THIRD DAY finished
10. Created the Sun and the Moon and the stars (after earth was created, completely different than astronomical evidence)
11. FOURTH DAY finished
12. water dwelled creatures created, birds in the sky were created.
13. FIFTH DAY finished
14. Cattle, creeping things, beasts of the earth, land dwellers created.
15 Man was created (Adam). Then created Eve (Genesis one is about creation not the troubles in the Garden of Eden)
16. SIXTH DAY finished
17. God rests and puts Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
Genesis 2 recaps the creation in a sentence and explains the drama in the Garden of Eden.

Re: seeing God
very good point. how did Moses see God? the burning bush doesnt count because God isnt a bush. how did Aaron see God?
please explain to me every account that saw God, his ACTUAL form, not something that spoke to them through God.

You tell me. I am merely sharing what I see in the Bible.
lol i know, but what did John mean when he said "no one hath seen God"? did he mean in his ACTUAL heavenly form or in a form of divination? like a burning bush, or a lion, or whatever.
doctrbill writes:
No thanks.
If you don't know what the scripture says on this subject, or you think there's some reason to doubt what it says, then tell us what you think it should say.
i am merely asking a question, i DONT doubt what it says, i just want more understanding thats all, lets not get hasty and jump to conclusions. i am a YEC, and i believe the Bible to be completely accurate and teh complete breath of God.
i believe John meant the actual form of God, his real form not him talking to a person THROUGH an object or person or animal.
if you speak to me through the phone, i am not the phone. thats my point. its not false that John said No one has seen God at any time besides Jesus himself.

Re: seeing God
doctrbill writes:
What do you mean, what did he mean?
what did he literally mean? spirit? dialogue? what? i guess you just answered that tho lol
doctrbill writes:
Yet you recognize that John's statement apparently contradicts Old Testament witnesses who claim to have seen God face to face, wrestled with him, had lunch with him and argued with him. Yes?
John also says: "God is a spirit." Spirits are invisible. Thus, by John's logic: God is invisible. Moses might take issue with John's statement but that's not my problem.
I could try to tell you everything I know on the subject but where's the fun in that? It would be more enjoyable and far more convincing to discover the answers for yourself.
For the purpose of assisting topical study, nothing beats: blueletterbible.org
God by definition cannot be near sin correct? that is why he sent his son down to earth to die for us....so then how would God in his true form be with man?
please give me verses of those people who say God face to face, fought with him, and argued with him and at lunch with him

YES incorrectly read! lol
graft2vine writes:
(Gen 1) Plants, animals, man and woman.
(Gen 2) Man, plants, animals, woman.
ok like i said Genesis one is the creation! only, Genesis 2 has one sentence in the beginning recap THEN it speaks about the drama in the garden of Eden.
genesis 2 does not have a SECOND creation going on.
graft2vine writes:
How do you reconcile this order? It appears that you are saying that God created plants and animals twice, the second set being after the six creation days... 8th day?
there is no second set he only made them all once, and then in the garden of eden he BROUGHT them out of the ground IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN ONLY for Adam to name. why do you think it says "in the garden of eden" and not IN THE ENTIRE WORLD?
graft2vine writes:
Where in the Bible does it say that God created plants and animals twice? And was woman created after the 6th day also?
it does not say, it says God made all animals and plants ONCE, then in the garden of eden (after everything was made) God put man in there, the garden of eden didnt have anything in there! God put man in there then brought forth all the plants and animals for adam to name!
there is no alternate creation, it is the continuation of genesis 1. God made the world, plants, then animals then created man THEN created the garden of EDEN, not the world AGAIN
graft2vine writes:
Here is my alternative - God created man twice, not plants and animals.
if you talking about making man twice as in Adam then Eve, then you are correct. but never did he do two adams and two eves lol
woah! ive never heard this idea before, but then who is this SECOND man? ADAM is the first ever man, the entire bible will agree to this, so then tell me who this other man is?
i think i know where you got confused, ok Genesis one is ONLY speaking about all of creation all 7 days in complete. on the 6th day he created man and woman right? then the chapter goes on not worried about the details about Eve's sin YET and finished off the chapter with the 7 days. THATS all chapter one does, is explain the chronology of the creation NOT the drama in Eden. THEN in chapter 2 it explains the creation of MAN in detail, genesis 2 STILL takes place on day 6! basically it went backward just a tad to explain in detail about the creation of MAN because MAN is dominated over everything and thus is more important.
so...Genesis1: Explanation of The Creation in a whole
Genesis2: Explanation of MANS creation in the whole, not worried about the rest of the world at the moment.
graft2vine writes:
Jer 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
that meerely explains God made Adam then he also created Eve, not the SAME exact Adam. key word is "another"
graft2vine writes:
Rom 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
meaning God created both Man and Woman from dust and both are capable to honor and dishonor.
graft2vine writes:
Eph 4:22-24 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
this has nothign to do with physical creation but your acceptance of salvation makes you a NEW MAN, the old man(without god) is decietful and evil and the new man(with god) is riteousness and holy.
graft2vine writes:
1Cr 15:45-49 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
ok this was a little complicated, but i think i can manage. i dont understand the part "the last Adam was made a quickening spirit"
i THINK this verse is talking about the first man being Adam and the second man being Jesus
the second part i understand even though we are borne on earth and look like earthlings we ALSO look like God in looks not powers. God made us in his own image so thats why we would have the image of the heavenly.
ok i FINALLY got that one sentence down
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
this means that you start off as natural then become spiritual (through death)
graft2vive writes:
1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed [first Adam], but of incorruptible [second Adam], by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
no where in that verse does it mention Adam at all, you inserted Adam where you wanted, and this verse means accepting christ as your savior, being Born again, being saved, being cleansed of your sins.
has nothign to do with the PHYSICAL man.
graft2vine writes:
In summary, The first Adam is the first living thing that God creates (on the third day), the last Adam is the last thing God creates (on the sixth day). The first Adam is made of the earth (as shown in Gen 2), bearing the image of the earthly, whereas the last Adam is made in the image of God (as shown in Gen 1), bearing the image of the heavenly.
you completely took out all those verses of their contexts and created it into what you want. none of those were even talking about PHYSICAL man form. the first ADAM is you right now, the sinful person born of this world that has the ADAMIC sin. the SECOND adam is not a physical being, its YOU when you have accepted Christ as your savior and have been saved by Christ when he died on the cross for YOUR sins. THEN you have become the second adam.
nowhere in gen1 does it say "Adam was created of the earthly" even in Gen2 it says that Adam was created out of dirt!
graft2vine writes:
If the plants were not in the earth, then there were no plants yet. It says nothing had grown because there was no rain.
you my friend are calling God a liar when he clearly stats that he created all seed bearing plants (in Gen1). and plus what makes you think the plants he created werent FULLY GROWN to begin with? the fully grown ones dont need water for a little bit, but look the second after God brings forth water to water the plants how nice eh?
have you forgotten what Genesis 1:11 says? "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 itslef, upin the earth: and it was so"
you see that there was TREES created before Adam and Eve were created.
there were TREES and SEEDS both there. one was created fully grown and one was created with only seeds!
graft2vine writes:
Gen 2:19 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.
he didnt CREATE them again he brought them out of the ground JUST for the garden of eden, it was exclusively for the garden of eden AFTER the rest of the world was already created. and it even says god PUT man into the garden of eden, where did he put him from? exactly, the world was already made and God MOVED Adam into the garden of eden and brought forth the animals and plants INTO The garden of eden JUST for the garden of eden for Adam to name etc.

Everything in Genesis 2:4 through Genesis 4:26 took place the same day as Genesis 1:1

if you are on the gap theory then that also fails, if a day doesnt mean a literal day then plants die before the sun comes up

his man was made after the heavens and earth. He was formed from the dust of the earth and God breathed the breath of life into him.
same man, what makes you think its another?

Gene 5:1 (KJS) This [is] the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
ok woah! you have completely misunderstood the "in the day" part in all of genesis.
1This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
2Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
the sentence structure is completely different than that which you say it is. in the day that God created man....it goes on to explain what that man was made like "in the likeness of God made he him" then it goes on to detail "male and female created he tem; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created." thats in teh day tehy were created, its not like one day equals to hundreds of years, the gap theory doesnt work....
ICANT writes:
This man was created (spoke into being)in Gods image on the 6th day.
they are both the same person, Adam only one.
ICANT writes:
BTW Adam and man are the same word in OT Hebrew. As is Eve and Woman
that helps ME a lot, "and he called their name Adam.." they meaning Adam and Eve.

He brought them out of the ground? Were they hibernating? Rather it says that He formed them from the ground... this is an act of creation in Genesis 2.
no they were not hibernating, but its odd tho if its the act of creation they why is everything happening ONLY in teh garden of Eden? what happened to the rest of the word?
graft2vine writes:
He didn't bring them into the Garden from the outside either.
god put Adam in the garden of eden and out of the ground formed the animals ONLY FOR THE GARDEN OF EDEN!!!!!!!!!!! the entire world was alredy filled up with animals except for the garden of eden
your order doesnt work, when it already says "nd every plant of the field before it was in the earth" then you talk about Adam being made and then again "Gen 1:11 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."
if i never read the current bible and read your version, i would say somethings amiss because it looks like God is speaking in a different way here when you start talking about creation of man, than he did with the earlier verses
so basically he formed, man, woman, grass, animals, and the garden of eden all in one day? hmm good division seeing as how it takes one day to divide teh firmament from the waters....
wait wait wait, adam went a day without sunlight? what the heck? how could any tree be pleasing to the eye if he cant even see past his nose?
very well done, but it has quarks it just doesnt fit.
i can just as well make one too:
1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2And 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.
3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7And 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.
8And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11And 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.
12And 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.
26And 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.
27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28And 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.
13And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14And 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:
15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16And 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.
17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20And 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.
21And 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.
22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24And 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.
25And 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.
29And 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.
30And 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.
31And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
that can sound just as good, but i never used chapter 2, you dont need chapter 2 to explain creation.
ANYONE can rearrange creation to make it seem great, i can even rearrange it 10 more different ways and it would look good, but would it be real? i could even say the sun was creatd first then humans, then animals then plants....

The second man is the remade man, made in the image of God which is Jesus Christ.
cannot be, because Christ was already created long before creation "in teh beginning was the word and the word was God"
graft2vine writes:
he first vessel is Adam and the last vessel is Christ (the last Adam).
they are both the same man, Christ is never part of this and CHRIST IS NOT MAN, CHRIST IS GOD, so thats complete blasphemy to say THE SECOND ADAM IS JESUS. cuz you cannot classify Jesus as man
graft2vine writes:
whereas the vessels of mercy are the last vessel, born again, into the body of Christ.
first you tell me the second vessel IS Christ and nwo you tell me they are born again people IN christ?
graft2vine writes:
Again, this old man is born of Adam (created on the 3rd day) and the new man is born of Christ in the image of God (created on the 6th day).
christ was not created on the 6th day then that means "in the begining was the Word and the Wrod was God" its not true.
do you not believe in Trinity? Father, Son, Holy Ghost? if the trinity is true then all three of them SHOULD be there are the SAME time,
"Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness"
if trinity doesnt count then who is US? Jesus is already there from the beginning! US meaning (Father, Son, Holy Ghost)
so does that mean that They make Jesus again? but you cant make another Jesus! he was already THERE with God even before the beginning of the world, there is no second Adam, both accounts are about ONE Adam
graft2vine writes:
Sort of. The first Adam is born of the earth and therefore made in the image of the earth, however in the likeness of God... likeness only and not image. The second Adam is made in the image of God as well as likeness. The difference between likeness and image is the same as comparing yourself to the person standing next to you (likeness), and the person you look at in the mirror (image). What is the difference? Raise your arm. Did the person standing next to you raise their arm or did they give you a funny look? Do the same thing with the mirror. Yes, your image raised his arm... your image does what you do!
The image of God does the works that God does. Jesus is the image of God and unless we are following Him doing what He does, we have not been made in the image of God!! We are still then of the first Adam, created on the 3rd day and God has not finished His work of creation in us.
I hope what I have shared already addresses the rest of the comments in your post, I can continue, but I'd be saying the same things.
its a lovely way of explaining salvation BUT, it has nothing to do with creation lol
