quote:
Gen 1:27 -- So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
So at this point we have a formless "man"? Yet, it claims that God created him in His image. Is God's image one without form? If so, then modern humans are not the image of God.
quote:
Gen 1:28 -- 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.
Gen 2:7 -- 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.
So, when God was talking to the newly created (yet formless) man and woman--telling them to "multiply and replenish the earth"--He was talking to a formless, and non-living creature? If man wasn't fully alive until Gen 2:7, then His creation is not finished. If His creation is not finished, then He has rested on the Seventh Day--because He claims He was finished--, yet, He wasn't done, clearly.
Do you not realize that your arguement is far too picky and pointless? The story begins to make even less sense when reading into each and every word.
quote:
Gen 2:18 -- And the Lord God said, It is not good that 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...
Why is God planning on
making "an help meet for him [man]" if God has already
made the creatures. What God really needs to do is just
form them, right? Yet He clearly indicates that He plans to
make them. And after He makes that plan, He then
forms them.
Do you see once again how you're ripping the meaning down until it doesn't exist. It's quite clear from this passage that "make" and "form" are the SAME! And if they're not, God is planning on doing something that He's already done. A wee forgetful for the Almighty, wouldn't you say?
