Genesis: Beginning the Right Story - Tim Mackie (The Bible Project)

Sunday, October 8, 2017
-----
Genesis provokes more questions, debates and doubts than any book in the Bible. To really understand the story, we have to step back from our preconceived notions and read it through the lens of the original audience. At its heart, Genesis is about a God who makes gardens out of chaos and calls us to do the same. Understanding Genesis will help us understand the rest of the Bible.

I'm so grateful that I found Tim Mackie.

[@1969cmp]

...hopefully you'll bump into Andy Woods. His study on Revelation is exhaustive at over 60 hours. I've yet to listen Andy's take on Genesis.

[@1KMPLX]

I love how much Tim references things like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars when he talks. He’s not just a bible geek, he’s a geek in general. “Are you with me?” Yes, yes I am.

[@dagwould]

Surely all Christians are Bible scholars to the best of their ability.

[@smashexentertainment676]

It's because they got one thing in common - they are all made up.

The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM! Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. RSV Only-monos God-theos Monos theos Monotheism The Father Jesus is the one sent by the true God (the Father)! Jesus never claimed to be God, Jesus said he has ab God! Jesus has a God! Jesus died! God can’t die! God raised Jesus from the dead!

​@@mitchellc4 Hey bro, I just copied and pasted a study i did a while ago on this, let me know what you think, I had to separate it into 2 replies. The Triune Creator 1………………………………………………………………….. 1John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word (Note: Jesus is the word), and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness Note1: I believe the Most High reveals himself throughout creation. Our reality is a triune reality as brother Kent Hovind stated: We live in a reality of space(1), time(2) and matter(3), even space has height(1), Depth(2), and width(3). Time has past(1), present(2), future(3). Matter has solid(1), liquid(2) and gas(3). As Kent states we live in a triune of a triune reality. Note2: I believe Gen 1:26 refers to the God head speaking within himself as we are created in a biblical triune fashion as well, as we have a body(1) a soul(2) and a spirit(3) Note3: Regarding the unholy trinity, the adversary counterfeits a perverted version of what God has already created, including the Godhead, as the man of perdition will be the adversary in the flesh, Jesus is God in the flesh as we have sons as a way of continuing in our fallen state, our children are us, Jesus is God in the flesh. 2………………………………………………………………….. Deuteronomy 6:4 4Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [is] one LORD John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed. Strongs G2316 theos: God, a god Original Word: θεός, οῦ, ὁ Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine; Noun, Masculine Transliteration: theos Phonetic Spelling: (theh'-os) Definition: God, a god Usage: (a) God, (b) a god, generally. Strongs exhaustive: the supreme Divinity, God, godly. Of uncertain affinity; a deity, especially (with ho) the supreme Divinity; figuratively, a magistrate; by Hebraism, very -- X exceeding, God, god(-ly, -ward). Isaiah 43:11 I, [even] I, [am] the LORD; and beside me [there is] no saviour. Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present [you] faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25To the only wise God our Saviour, [be] glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. John 10:30 I and [my] Father are one. Strongs G1520 heis: one Original Word: εἷς, μία, ἕν Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: heis Phonetic Spelling: (hice) Definition: one Usage: one. man, one another, only, other, some. (including the neuter (etc.) Hen); a primary numeral; one -- a(-n, -ny, certain), + abundantly, man, one (another), only, other, some. Note: Thomas refers to Jesus as we're consistently reminded throughout scripture that their is only 1 God eg: Isaiah 44:6, James 2:19, Isaiah 43:10, Mark 12:29. 3………………………………………………………………….. Isaiah 42:8 I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. John 17:22 22And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 24Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. Note: God states he will not give his glory to another...... and he didn't, he kept it with in himself. This scripture is also one of many which backs up the union (marriage) of Christ and the church/ believers which ill get into next. 4………………………………………………………………….. Romans 7 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law, ) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to [her] husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of [her] husband. 3So then if, while [her] husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. 4Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, [even] to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. 5For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. 6But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead {5625;599:5631} wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not [in] the oldness of the letter. Note: If He wasn't the God of the "Old Testament" who passed on the cross then we aren't freed from the marriage law meaning Israel is still in their transgression of adultery.

[@twaho]

5………………………………………………………………….. I don't know if it was this teaching or another where, unless i misunderstood you, you insinuated that the Holy Spirit was above the father and son (I felt weird about even writing that). If that's so: John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever. John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6………………………………………………………………….. Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever. Note: These scriptures refer to Christ being with is through the comforter. 7………………………………………………………………….. Genesis 1:1 In 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. (That is the word (Jesus) being spoken, creating from the beginning) John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth. Isaiah 42:8 I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. 8………………………………………………………………….. RE: to Phillipians 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God Note: Your translation was again bias as most translations including the masoretic texts state the above, you've chosen the 1 which doesn't and interpreted it in the way to back your theology, we've all been guilty of it. 9………………………………………………………………….. Hebrews 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Strongs G4416 prototokos: first-born Original Word: πρωτότοκος, ον Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: prototokos Phonetic Spelling: (pro-tot-ok'-os) Definition: first-born Usage: first-born, eldest. 4416 prōtótokos (from 4413 /prṓtos, "first, pre-eminent" and 5088 /tíktō, "bring forth") - properly, first in time (Mt 1:25; Lk 2:7); hence, pre-eminent (Col 1:15; Rev 1:5). 4416 /prōtótokos ("firstly") specifically refers to Christ as the first to experience glorification, i.e. at His resurrection (see Heb 12:23; Rev 1:5). For this (and countless other reasons) Jesus is "preeminent" (4416 /prōtótokos) - the unequivocal Sovereign over all creation (Col 1:16). [4416 (prōtótokos) refers to "the first among others (who follow)" - as with the preeminent, glorified Christ, the eternal Logos who possesses self-existent life (Jn 5:26).] Note: The word first born can also be used as the eldest, not necessarily created. 10………………………………………………………………….. Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and [he] to whomsoever the Son will reveal [him]. Note: This scripture should have us all thinking. I have many more examples and many examples of the covenant of marriage/ union. Its hard for us to understand because we aren't made like the angels yet so we are thinking about a marriage covenant from a carnal perspective where a marriage covenant is where 2 become one as previously stated: John 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 24Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. Note: Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. By 1 and the union/ Marriage of Christ are we redeemed as we were 1 fallen in Adam, we are 1 redeemed in Christ. God came in and saved us from our transgressions, He humbled himself, coming in as man in the lowest state, born in a feeding trough to guide us out and redeem us. Because we may not be able to understand His eternal nature in our temporal state I believe the last thing we should do it take away from the divinity of Christ as he is the Image of the Living God, God in the flesh. Peace.

I thank God so much for Tim Mackie. I have learned so much with the Bible project, Tim’s KZbin lectures, and the podcast Exploring my Strange Bible. Due to Tim’s expository teaching, I’ve developed a habit of exploring the Bible through educational lenses.

With regards to start of the universe, the big bang theory (not fact) provides a good challenge for our faith. Many people believe in this theory without questioning it (which is the mistake - you should not let yourself be an easy prey). The Satan tests the strength of our faith by making a very simple supposition/hypothesis that there was random atom flying around and it exploded, causing the creation of the universe. The Satan uses science to his advantage as many people assumes that science is knowledge but is not in this case as it is just a theory. Many scientists have subsequently tried to give credibility to this theory selecting particular evidences while ignoring others that do fit their agenda. For a Christian such a situation should have instead strengthen its faith. Anything that does not kill (your faith) should make it stronger.

“The earth was without form and void”... there was no globe or shapes or substance yet, only data waiting to be assembled (formed), by energy. (Void: without energy) “The heavens”on one hand are the spiritual realms including the full angelic host. And (“the earth”), on the other hand, is the physical realm or physics that have mass and information. Light is consciousness and energy. Light began the spin of creation from the right hand of God. It also began the fall of Lucifer in the “heavens” when he saw how beautiful he was and pride changed him to Satan... prayer is your only hope friends. Prayer done in the spirit and in truth. There is no other way. Jesus is Lord, ABBA On The Cross 🙏🔑✌️

Dr. Tim is one of my favorite teachers. Anytime I can get the anthropology of God’s scripture I can enrich my relationship and understanding of Him. Dr. Tim does it in a way that reaches a post Christian culture. I thank God for him. I would love to attend a meeting between two Tims. Tim Keller and Tim Mackie. Both have profound gifts for reaching non-Christian western people. Their kind of evangelism is definitely anointed for our time. I want to soak up their teaching Kung Fu.

This is so good! Genesis has been a very neglected book throughout our times; especially in the way described by Tim.

Regarding the herbs being made before man in Ch 1, then man being made before herbs in Ch 2, I believe that depends on how we interpret Ch 2:5-6. What I see is that after the mist came up and watered the whole face of the ground, the 'herbs that had not grown yet' (Ch2:5) would have grown, then man was formed, after the establishment of the earth, animals, herbs and man, God then planted the garden east of Eden.....

As someone who has issues with genesis and has this debate. The reason it is a problem is because (as someone who was raised in a heavily religious household) I’m told to take the entirety of the Bible stories literally. And when we’re told “no, except for that” or “ignore that” how is anyone supposed to pick and choose what is to be taken literally and what isn’t? If the very first page of the Bible isn’t fact then how is anyone supposed to take the rest of it as such? This is why it’s an issue.

[@goatrectum]

Well said!

[@chrisbraza1381]

Fully analysing the time line accordingly: 1. Literal earth was formed the 3rd day. Now the writer's focus of vision is on the earth alone. The same day God created photosensitizing plants. Earth from a blob is dusty due to geological movements, severe storm and hurricanes and vulcanic eruptions. This stage of earth sky,sun,stars and moon are not visible yet the lights penetrated prevailng plants to exist in a scarse oxygen rich carbon dioxide atmosphere. 2. On the 4th day, the earth was more orderly and so is the clearer vision of the surroundings. The the writer saw the first appearance of the sun, stars and moon in the sky and thought that it was its creation. 3. The 5th day allows animals to exist due to now balanced air for them to breath.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. In the scientific world we would say the space time continuum. Which are the 3 dimensions upon we exist, time (beginning), space (heavens), matter (earth). Remember the earth was formless (atoms). God not only spoke to people of that time but also to us, genius.

He said people misinterpret scripture because they don't understand the beginning of the story. It is the same with the Gospel.

Something I never understood is that the Bible says humans are made in his image. What image? His physical image? Or his spiritual image? Are we physically like him on earth, or is our spirit like him, and we have earthly bodies. Because my simple human mind desperately wants to know what he looks like. 😣And I just can't comprehend what he's trying to tell me when I read this text, I think it has to do with the fact that the Bible was not written in a language that I speak; and some of the text has been removed over time.

I think that the word used in the Hebrew bible that is translated city doesn't actually mean city like we think of a city. A city to us is a place where a lot of people live close together.

GENESIS. ----------------------- 1:2 The earth was without form, and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep. Note, First, The earth (was) can mean, (became), Gen 19:26 she became a pillar of salt. Same word it implies an action. Second is without form, Tohu, Bohu means void, empty, wast. Third, (And) is translated, But, when you put it altogether it reads differently. Or Tohu Vavohu 1:2 The earth became empty but void, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the earth became empty and void. Tohu Bohu always suggest as a judgement. In the Hebrew language it says, Now the earth had become chaotic and empty. There was some early catastrophe that had recked the earth which was without void and form. And then God began to re-create the earth in 6 literal days to complete, starting about 6,0000 years ago describing essentially a water globe.
