I bought the download for the Genesis bible study and downloaded it from the email, and I can't get it to print. i checked to see if there was something wrong with my printer and it printed something else just fine. any ideas? S sorry if i'm asking in the wrong place but sent a message to technical support and have yet to hear anything back.

Prayers as I decided to retire early to be caregiver for 94 yo dad. A step of faith as I never expected to or planned to retire at 65.

[@hiswordmywalk]

Oh I pray that you experience God in a fresh way FOR YOU. I pray that you see this time as so purposeful and put together strategically by the One True God, a loving Father. I know the heart to take care of a father very well ❤️🙏🏼

[@aidalopez1483]

You know how you say that God talks to you. I completely agree. I was looking to deepen my faith and my scripture plan group took December off to connect with family. I was looking to my 2025 plans. The book of Luke came up several different times. And one day while I was looking 👀 for inspiration for my goals your book of Luke came up in my feed. I asked for it and He made it so. I truly appreciate the way you discuss and your faith shines so brilliantly. I wanted to thank you for answering my prayer of deepening my faith. Allowing my to take this journey along with you. I’m excited for this opportunity.

[@hiswordmywalk]

Wow! Praise God! 🙌🏼 I love when I can totally recognize God in what seems small, and maybe nobody else would understand, but I totally know He just winked, or fist-bumped me, or just DID IT! ❤️ Well, I'm so honored you're here ☺️

[@cathyrichard1100]

So happy to be here: I so often read the Bible and before I know it, I’m just reading words🫣 So excited to have a “teacher” to slow me down, help me to “really” think about and be curious about “all” God is saying and most of all applying it to life (things I may have casually skipped over). Thank You…so happy to be on this journey with others🙌

[@hiswordmywalk]

Oh Praise God! 🙌🏼 Come on in! I'm so honored you're here, and our community is growing and incredible in the comments too ☺️ Any other way I can serve you, please let me know ❤️

I just discovered your channel and shared you with my mom, and subscribed! We are now following along. I love 💕 that you are curious, asking the questions that most traditional men who do bible study (that we have watched anyways) don’t cover, they cover maybe the main point of a verse but you’re style is more like how my mom and I question and study and think when we study together, so I’m really interested to watch more of your videos and hear your thoughts over each chapter. 😊❤

bring forth vegetation (vv. 11-12). The creation of distinctive locations in days 1-3, along with vegetation, prepares for the filling of these locations in days 4-6. 1:14-19 These verses, describing the fourth day, correspond with the separating of light and darkness on the first day (vv. 3-5). Here is the creation of lights that will govern time, as well as provide light upon the earth (v. 15). By referring to them as the greater light and lesser light (v. 16), the author of Genesis avoids using terms that were also proper names for pagan gods linked to the sun and the moon. The term made may simply mean that God "fashioned" or "worked on" these greater and lesser lights. It does not necessarily mean that they did not exist in any form before this. On this day God made it possible that the sun and moon would define the passing of time. The references to seasons (v. 14) or "appointed times" (Es footnote) and to days and years probably refer to appointed times for religious observances in the Hebrew calendar (see Ex. 13:10). 1:16 and the stars. The immense universe that God created (see note on Isa. 40:25-26) is mentioned here only briefly, almost as an afterthought. The focus of Genesis 1 is on the earth. 1:20-23 This section, on day 5, describes how the waters and the expanse of the heavens are filled with various kinds of creatures. 1:21 The Hebrew term for great sea creatures can mean large ser-

What truly blows my mind is In Genesis 1 when the Lord first created the Heaven & the Earth. There was waters filled from the earth all the way to Heaven. That is why God made the sky to separate the waters from Heaven to Earth. Imagine what that must of looked like? LOL Moses wrote the 1st 5 books in the bible.

suggests that something was about to happen. There is no reason to think that a long time elapsed between Gen. 1:1 and 1:2. 1:3-5 And God said. God's absolute power is seen in that he merely speaks and things are created. Each new section of ch. 1 is introduced by God's speaking. Everything that God speaks into being is good (vv. 10, 12, 18, 21, 25, 31). These verses show how God has arranged time in a weekly cycle (Day ... Night). God is pictured as working for six days and resting on the seventh, which is a model for human activity. Day 4 will develop this idea further: the lights are placed in the heavens for signs and seasons, for marking days and years and the times of the festivals, such as Passover. This sense of time having a structure is further emphasized as each stage of God's creative work is separated into specific days. there was evening and there was morning, the first day. After each workday there is an evening and then a morning, implying that there is a nighttime (the worker's daily time of rest) in between. Similar phrases divide ch. 1 into six distinctive workdays, with 2:1-3 being a seventh day, God's Sabbath. On the first three days God creates the environment that the creatures of days 4-6 will inhabit. For example, the sea and sky (day 2) are occupied by the fish and birds (day 5). These days can be understood as days in the life of God, but how his days relate to human days is more difficult to determine (see 2 Pet. 3:8). 1:6-8 As light was separated from darkness, so the waters are separated to form an expanse, which God calls Heaven. It is difficult to find a single English word that accurately translates the precise meaning of this Hebrew term (see esv footnote). In this context, it refers to what humans see above them, that is, the region that contains both heavenly lights (vv. 14-17) and birds (v. 20). 1:9-13 God organizes two further regions: the dry land, forming Earth; and the waters, forming Seas (vv. 9-10). God then instructs the earth to

pents, dragons, or crocodiles, as well as whales or sharks. Sore have suggested that this could also refer to extinct creatures si as dinosaurs. 1:24-25 livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth These terms group the land-dwelling animals into three broad categories, probably reflecting the way nomadic shepherds woud expensence them. This list is not intended to be exhaustive, and is hard to know in which category to put some animals. 1:26 Let us make man in our image. Some have suggested that God may be addressing the members of his heavenly court, whom the OT elsewhere calls "sons of God" (e.g., Job 1:6) and the N7 calls "angels." But man is not made in the image of angels (see Gen. 1:27), and the Bible never teaches that angels participated in the creation of human beings. Since God alone creates man (v. 27, many Christians believe that "let us" means God is speaking to him-self. If so, this would be the first biblical mention of the "Trinty (see note on John 1:1). 1:27 The term image of God can be seen as describing the was in which man is different from all other created beings. It describes how humans resemble God in their ability to think, to communicate, to understand right and wrong, to be creative, and to experience relationships with God and with one another. This allows men ad women to represent God as they exercise authority over the rest of creation (see v. 26; and note on v. 28). The Hebrew word for mat ('adam), is often a generic term for both male and female, thoug sometimes it refers to man in distinction from woman (e.g. 2.22,2 3:8). It can also be the proper name "Adam" (2:20; 3:17; 4:1; 50
