Says you. Adam is mentioned in the new Testament as well. It spans the whole bible. Not just a few chapters.
the specific story of adam and eve is given in genesis 2 and 3, and continued in 4 with cain and abel. i know they're
mentioned all over the place, but
their story is those three chapters. it's not just some aside information. it's their story.
And it all agrees perfectly.
says you.
All that sticks out like a sore thumb is your twisted insistance God is so wacky He couldn't get it straight.
no, you're the one with the twisted insistance that god is whacky -- because the rest of us see some pretty obvious problems here, and
you are trying to assigne those problems to god's hand.
Your imagining that some bizarre other creation order is crypted into the bible!
because we can read the story, whisper. it's reading comprehension. first one event happens, then another event happens. the story is not told out-of-order, no matter how much you insist that it must be. it makes no sense out of order, and your order
directly contradicts the actual text of the story.
Funny He didn't want the hebrews saying His name. He told the Christians exactly what it was. Jesus. That is in english. That is the name of God. The only name that need concern men.
funny, because jesus himself would not have recognized the name. though if you called him "joshua" he might have understood you. further, that's not the name of god. the name of god is
. that's yud-heh-vav-heh, four semi-vowels. it's pronounced "Ya-Hu-Eh"
At one time there was. Plants wwere made before men. Don't get confused with the fireside chat of Gen 2, where we go back and see how He did a few things.
again, you require that we ignore genesis 2, in favor of genesis 1. gen 2 SAYS that before man, there were no plants. it SAYS that. it gives us a REASON WHY, too.
It matters enough for God to have told us about it. But these things were not in the Gen 2 order, that is a lookie back at what was done already. So this should clench it for you. Man was made first, then the animals, chap 2 doesn't make that order clear, therefore-----chap 2 is not meant to be such an order! What other evidence do you need?
you don't understand what evidence is, do you?
and chapter two DOES make that order clear. perfectly clear, in fact. man has lonely, so god made animals. one is caused by the other. your order requires that genesis 2 is completely written in an incomprehensible and confusing order, where effect precedes the cause, and the verses themselves lie.
No, I told you all that stuff. Chap 1 was the order. All relationships revolve around this. Don't ignore that.
genesis 2 SAYS that there were no plants because there was no man. then it SAYS that AFTER man was created, he was lonely, so god made animals. these are cause-effect relationships. they REQUIRE that genesis 2 is told in order, not out of order. you are ignoring the text because it doesn't fit your idea.
It is plain enough, don't insult the Almighty by claiming He messed it up. You simply got it all messed up.
no, i'm not insulting god. you are insulting god by saying he wrote something this contradictory. you are insulting god by associating him with this sort of work.
and evidently, it's NOT plain enough since you simply cannot seem to understand it.
No need to pretend, there are none at all. Chap 2 only seems like a contradiction if you disregard and disbelieve the already complete stated creation order of chap 1.
chapter 2 only seems like a contradictions
if you've read it.
Read for what it is, more details of what was created, it is wonderful. The rest is only in your mind.
and the DETAILS contradict the other story.
OK, so? You want to display your attempt at explaining a verse. Fine. Pitiful, but fine. Even through a dark glass, one ought to see God had finished by chap 2!
no, you fail to recognize your own ignorance.
You think someone broke chap 1 now? No. Chap 2 is not a replacement, it is another chapter. One that gives more details of what was just created. The man was Adam. The woman was Eve. I mean, get with the plan here.
just read the book. stop pretending you know what it says, and read it.
