What does the original Hebrew text reveal about Genesis 1-11? - Dr. Steve Boyd

Hebraist Steve Boyd takes us through the key events and timeline represented in the first eleven chapters of Genesis. He also explains the content of these passages in light of the original Hebrew text.
𝘐𝘴 𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴 𝘏𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺? is a documentary that features over a dozen scientists and scholars explaining how the world intersects with the history recorded in Genesis.

As I've been reading through these comments, I have found about 4 categories of comments: 1) those who believe scripture, 2) those who are not sure and are seeking, 3) those who do not believe and are downright angry at those who do believe, 4) those who do not believe and mock those who do believe. So, what I don't understand is the people who fall in categories 3 & 4...why the anger? why the mocking? If this is all just a fairy tale, why the negative emotional investment?

[@jccanteen]

Because belief or non-belief in religion is the heartbeat of your value system and personal identity. So a nonbeliever can’t help but take a defensive posture because he feels his values and identity are under attack. Likewise, many believers find it impossible to learn and acknowledge other religions and spiritual dogma for the same reason: they are conditioned to believe their religion is the one true religion, and the idea of embracing another (respecting, not practicing) is blasphemous on the one hand (if you view recognizing other religions as a form of idolatry), but also attacks their core values and identity. So everyone stays on the defensive to protect their sense of self. On both sides of that’s compromised then the person risks an existential crisis as s/he tries to restore meaning, value and legitimacy to their worldview. Anyhow, that’s just my opinion. Excellent post!

it is unfortunate that you experienced harm at the hands of those who claim Christianity as their belief system. One question that comes to mind is, What emotional harm? Was it ,that they used it for the intent and principles that never was part or, and this is not in judgment , are the things you believe or practice outside of Biblical teaching? Disagreeing with or pointing out what the Biblical standards are ,may offend or hurt , if one is practising or espousing something contrary to.. Christianity has made missteps and yet, it also has done much good .. I would suggest that you find a good Pastor or Priest and take time to air your grievances against Christianity and it's specific emotional harm done to you and give them the opportunity to address those instances. While individuals make up the church/Christianity , not all are good at it, hence why we need the Bible to remind, and there is a fine-line between speaking the truth in love and standing in judgement. BTW- Fundamental is not extremism in it's historical context (1920's) it simply meant that they held certain teachings -none of which were more than the core basics narrowed down) in the face of higher critical /textual issues that were entering into academia and seminaries at the time - Extremism ,such as Westboro Baptist , is not the same - I do hope that you don't close the door on Christianity because some people/or even a whole church, has over-emphasised one part to the exclusion of others or.. because personally disagree with a orthodox teaching and don't feel it should apply to you..

[@timhaley3459]

@@sueallen9999 Modern Messianic Jews believe that all Israel will eventually accept Jesus (or Yeshua in transliterated Hebrew that means "Jehovah is Salvation"), " and indeed, the whole world". However, it has to be recognized that neither Israel nor the whole world will accept Jesus as the promised Messiah, for Jesus said that only a "few" would be on the cramped road to life, while the majority are on the "spacious road to destruction".(Matt 7:13, 14) Only a few Jews are be willing to bend without reservation to the Father's will, whose name is Jehovah (Isa 12:2, KJV), as Jesus voluntarily did (Isa 50:4, 5), doing as Psalms 40 says: "Sacrifice and offering you did not desire (though required under the Mosaic Law, they could never remove the stain of sin, just a reminder that "death reigned as king", Rom 5:14), but you opened up my ears to hear. You did not ask for burnt offerings and sin offerings. Then I said: “Look, I have come. In the scroll (of the Law and the Prophets and Psalms, Luke 24:44) it is written about me. To do your will, O my God, is my delight, and your law is deep within me."(Ps 40:6-8) So, are the Messianic Jews today, able to unlock the "deep meanings of scripture" ? The answer is only if they, along with people of the nations (Gentiles) are members of Jehovah's "congregation" of loyal worshippers that are being guided by what Jesus established of a "faithful and discreet slave", a small body of spirit-anointed men that would be the channel for dispensing Bible truths about "scripture" saying: "Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their (spiritual) food at the proper time ?"(Matt 24:45) This "faithful and discreet slave" would guide Jehovah's people through these turbulent "last days, critical times hard to deal with".(2 Tim 3:1) This "faithful and discreet slave" would see to it that "this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations", before "the end comes".(Matt 24:14) This "faithful and discreet slave" dispenses the deep truths of the Bible, as they see it playing out, such as prophetic statements at Genesis 3:15, the book of Daniel, of Ezekiel, of Revelation and other prophecies too numerous to mention, and understanding that the Bible "hell" or Hades is mankind's common grave (Ps 16:10; Acts 2:30), not a place of torment, that the soul is not immortal, but can be destroyed (Matt 10:28; Acts 3:23, KJV), that there is no "Holy Trinity", but that Jehovah is Almighty God (Gen 17:1) while Jesus is his "only-begotten Son" (John 3:16) and the holy spirit is Jehovah's active force that he used to create all things.(Ps 104:30)

I used to believe what the science had to say until I started genuinely seeking answers and asking questions on my own. What I found is that there are many inconsistencies with the scientist and they have to break scientific rules to make it make any kind of sense whatsoever. I no longer look to man for the answers. Man wasnt there in the beginning and non of the supposed scholars have the answer and never will. God did it. I am ok with that.

[@blueglassdave]

So I guess the questions would be, what questions did you ask, what were some of the main inconsistencies you found, as opposed to legitimate differences of opinion, what are some of the scientific rules you saw being broken and are you sufficiently trained in the sciences and the scientific method to analyze the data and the scientific positions and dismiss them? I'm not trying to be rude there. For instance, if someone tells me about my car or computer, they need to have the knowledge and training to accurately analyze these highly complex subjects.

[@natwil735]

​@@blueglassdaveThe answer to the questions as it is unlikely the Original Poster will respond is that they STOPED "genuinely" seeking once they found "inconsistencies" which might be 2 or 20, regardless of the number of inconsistencies found, they decided to be lazy and chucked it up to "God" did "it." This person is OK with their laziness and the conclusion they have drawn, so you are barking up the wrong tree asking such an individual anything. Your questions, thoughts, and comments are a great start to finding answers. My questions for you are: Do you read the Christian Bible? If the above answer is yes, do you have questions about the Christian Bible? If you read the Christian Bible and have no questions, is it because you believe everything in it or nothing at all? What is life? What is the purpose of life? Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. Hopefully, I will get the notification of your answers. All the best to you.

[@blueglassdave]

​@@natwil735 Thank you for your reply. I'm not trying to be clever when I say that that I don't really know what is meant by the term "Christian Bible", whether you mean the New Testament or the NT and Jewish scriptures together and the endless variety of interpretations applied by Christians over the years, or the Jewish scriptures is interpreted by the NT authors etc... I'll just refer to the standard Bible, plus the Apocrypha, when I say that yes, I've read it a fair number of times over the last 45 years, as I didn't really pay much attention before I was 16 or so. As with all ancient literature there are many topics to be explored with questions. For instance, would the Sanhedrin have met at night? Would a Roman governor as historically brutal and uncaring of Jewish customs as Pilate have allowed the body of a political prisoner, crucified for insurrection, to be removed before nightfall when the Roman practice was to disgrace the condemned by leaving their bodies on the cross to be eaten by scavengers? Why do the synoptic gospels insist that the Romans crucified Jesus, but John insists that Pilate turned Jesus over to the Jewish leaders to be crucified? In other words, why do the Romans become less culpable, and "The Jews" more so, over the time frame in which Christians are increasingly persecuted by Rome, particularly when they are blamed as scapegoats by Nero for the great fire of Rome. Why does the antisemitism, as well as the Christology, increase exponentially from the earliest Gospel, Mark, through the last gospel, John? Why are so many verses from the Jewish scriptures changed, added to and taken completely out of context by NT authors? Why does Paul insist that there is an unbridgeable argument between God and mankind when no such chasm exists in the Jewish Scriptures nor are men unable to please God or obey his law. Was there actually an exodus of some sort from Egypt or were the Israelites actually Canaanites eventually united by a common origin myth as relatively recent archaeology seems to indicate? When did the Israelites start practicing "The Law" and how can we tell. For example, one Holy Land archaeologist I saw recently did a presentation on how pig bones show up in and around cooking fires up until about 300 BC before they disappear How widespread and influential were David and Solomon's kingdoms? The law from Jehovah demands that girls who are not virgins on their wedding nights be killed as they have disgraced their fathers, and subsequently ruined their value as wives. This is the Honor Society deplored by most, yet this is Yahwe's command. A woman who is raped, if no one hears her cry out for help, is to be killed. How is this morally defendable, unless one adheres to Divine Command in which anything God Commands, no matter how heinous, is morally right, therefore moral. If so, is it man's rebellion which causes most of us to think that killing a raped woman because no one heard her scream for help is highly immoral? Was Yahweh unaware of gags, knives held at throats, terror or threats to murder the woman's family if she screamed? As you can see, there are many questions, for me personally, the most important one, which remains unanswered after asking many ministers, priests and professors, is just who decided that the authors eventually chosen, over several centuries, by the early Catholic church were directly inspired by God? There are many things throughout the Bible which are factual and many for which I've seen no evidence. It's not a matter of believing everything or nothing. I have noticed that people, no matter the topic, do tend to allow desire to bolster beliefs which have little factual evidence. As far as "what is life", that's above my pay grade. I'd suggest asking recognized experts in the field of Biology concerning their current beliefs based on what we have discovered thus far. Finally, as far as the purpose of life, that presumes there IS a purpose, for which I've seen no evidence. That in no way means that people can't find legitimate meaning in life nor am I declaring definitively that is no purpose. There may be someone or something which has created and/or imbued all of life with a purpose which I am unaware of. In my opinion, the desire for a divinely mandated purpose can easily create a belief in a purpose for life which is supported by nothing deeper than the desire for it to be true. Again, thanks for writing, Dave Meyr

@blueglassdave Thanks for your response. I won't feel offended if I don't get any response even though it took me quite a while [over 24 hours] to research and draft my response to you, which started within 1 hour of your post. My response incorporate me visiting scriptures [refreshing my memory of the Maccabees and other scriptures, as I have only read Maccabees once several months ago], plus doing additional research, some of which I attempted to squeeze into my limited less than 10,000 characters. Just the website on cannon alone, I read over 12 hours worth, and stopped off around 3/4 length of the document as I had Tai Chi practice to head off to early this morning for a performance next week Saturday. Needless to say, I sacrificed 1 hour and 40 minutes of a 2 hours practice this morning to post prior to heading on on my little cellphone that I did all my research and typed. Unfortunately, I was over the character count for KZbin and finally headed out to catch the last 20 minutes of Tai Chi. I was over 2,000 characters of the allowed character count and sent a copy via email to then edit down on my MacBook. This took hours trying to keep the vast majority of what I wrote and getting rid of 20+%. Hard work. Why do I share all the above? I appreciate your questions to take the original poster. I appreciate your response and many questions in response to me. Not that KZbin is the forum that allows much room for communications, plus KZbin censors quite heavily.... definitely the channeling the Spirit of Falsehood in the format of an AI scribe and Pharisee 🤣. I hope the other response made it to your mailbox and that you will at the very least read Genesis 1:1-2:3 and write down what happens on Day 1 through 7 and how does John 1:1-4 plays into this? And read John 6:63, and ask yourself why is the Voice of the Spirit of Truth erroneously called "Holy Ghost" or "Holy" Spirit is a "son" in light of Genesis 1:26-27. Mankind being the image of the One True Creator do NOT call their vocal cords that give speech their "daughter" or their "son." And it is obvious from ALL of creation having female and male in plant and animal life as well as mankind that the One True Creator is both FEMALE and MALE as seen by the image, so any other agenda pushed by ANY of the Abrahamic root religions of masculine only in Genesis 1 is obviously delusional or have no deductive reasoning skills. So as John 6:63 said the FLESH PROFITS NOTHING, it is the Spirit [of Truth] that gives life, one should then ask why John 1:1-4 insists on turning the Spoken Words of the Spirit of Truth into flesh? However, let's leave John and go back to Genesis 2:4 to chapters 8, what account for the major difference of creation by the SPOKEN Word in Genesis 1 to now things being FORMED out if soil by hands and being formed out of order whilst introducing slavery, inhumane treatment of mankind slaving away without food, ordering mankind to not acquire knowledge, genetically experimenting with mankind, traumatizing mankind by killing animals in front of them and putting the dripping with blood skin of the slaughtered animal on them, punishing mankind for attaining knowledge that they discovered they were "naked" which apparently was EVIL as it made them felt ashamed and was afraid of the entities that made them "naked" [Genesis 2:21-23, as they were not naked prior to this], cutting mankind off from knowledge and life (Gen 3), goading Cain to murder his brother Abel (Gen 4), being upset that Enoch escaped after 300 years of walking with the One True Creator of Genesis 1 (Genesis 5:21-24, Revelation 12:5) and thus mankind was destroyed in a flood (Genesis 6-7 and Revelation 12:15), and the One True Creator removed the flood caused by Yahweh (Genesis 8 and Revelation 12:16). And to this very day, very few ever know that the Beginning (Genesis 1:2 [Spirit of Truth 🔥of the One True Creator hovers over the Waters 💧) is the End (Revelation 20:15 [Lake💧 of Fire 🔥) and that there is truly nothing to fear as none is lost.... only delayed until they are ready to be born again of the water 💧 and the Spirit of Truth 🔥. I digress... I myself just got this Revelation and thus, this information is for those who are ready to receive it🤓. P.S: Read Acts 2 to see a clear description of what the Spirit of Truth 🔥 might look like to our eyes. Anyway, may the post I published approximately 70 minutes ago that something will be beneficial in it, as well as the something in this ramble post sparks your interest to go digging. I do NOT subscribe to Yahweh nor Moses as ALL that came before Yeshua were thieves and robbers that seek to steal, kill, and destroy and were hired hands [John 10:7-14]. The person whose website is the Jesus Words Only website is a lawyer with over 40 years of experience and is a thorough researchist. His material is thorough, and you can gain valid insight on historical data that you would be hard-pressed in finding such wealth of information anywhere else and especially for FREE. This author has grown some since I first came across his material on 9 Feb 2018 and have outgrown it by around 9 Mar 2018. The website had undergone a change to reflect the change in the author itself. I can see that while he doesn't hold Moses above Yeshua as he once did when I challenged him back in March 2018, and that he has now started using the name Yahweh, that he is still missing the key attribute that Yahweh is the devil (John 8:44, Revelation 12:3, Job 41, etc.) and Yahweh's mother is Babylon (Revelation 17:5). Alas, I have said enough for now. None come back and ask additional questions once anything of substance is shared. Will you be the exception?

I met Dr. Boyd one day in his office at Multnomah. His office was full of books, like any good scholar I suppose. At the time I was either in Hebrew and/or Greek class and I was talking to him about languages. At some point he said, Do you want to learn Akkadian or other Semitic language? And I was thinking about this, like WOW that would be great, but I'm here trying to get Hebrew and Greek under my belt. Never took him up on the offer, but that in a way encouraged me in my studies. Anyways, I'm so glad to see that he has correct doctrine. There are many "scholars" who have liberal ideas. But now he has a platform to glorify God.

[@natwil735]

@mrtdiver, I am unsure what exactly you meant by "correct doctrine"? Doctrine, according to Oxford Dictionary Online, is a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a Church, political party, or other group. The term "correct" will be subjective to the user of the word, thus your personal opinion of "correct doctrine" is you sharing a subjective view on a belief or set of beliefs that might be held only by yourself, held by a few, or held by many; but what you will never get is ALL entities sharing your views/set of beliefs as to what you conclude is "correct doctrine." Regardless of if 99.99% of the human population agrees with your opinion that the man in this video has the "correct doctrine, " every single one of you would be 100% wrong. Let's start with the end, 1 Corinthians 15 is not a gospel but a letter (epistle) written by a false apostle that the church of Ephesus was praised in Revelation 2 for identifying him as such. Yeshua aka "Jesus" also warned us against false prophets like Pharisee Saul Paul of Tarsus who preferred to be called "Apostle" Paul in Matthew 24:1-31, telling us not to believe anyone claiming to have a private meeting with him specifically in Matthew 24:23-31. If you have not guessed by now, most things in quotation are FALSEHOODS/ERRORS! If you read Acts 9 carefully, you will see Ananias made some assumptions about his vision. Yeshua very clearly told Ananias in his vision to lay hand on Pharisee Saul of Tarsus to give him back his physical sight. Ananias started to argue and Yeshua told him that Pharisee Saul is to spread Yeshua's name and that Pharisee Saul would suffer greatly! Yeshua mentioned absolutely NOTHING about meeting Pharisee Saul Paul of Tarsus and Yeshua mentioned nothing about Pharisee Saul Paul of Tarsus being baptized with the Spirit of Truth; these are things assumed by Ananias! Also, spreading a name is NO gospel at all! Read Galatians 1-2 and realize when Peter, James, and John finally realized the garbage Saul Paul of Tarsus was pushing, they confronted him in Galatians 2, and this false apostle dare say that 3 of the 12 foundation of the new Jerusalem [Revelation 21:14] is wrong and that Peter [Cephas/Kefa] is condemned! Peter was promised 1 of 12 thrones judging the 12 Tribes of Israel in Matthew 19:28; and so was Judah Iscariot aka "Judas" Iscariot. The bogus lost to perdition is made up garbage. Judah Iscariot is not lost to perdition and was never replaced by Matthias. There is ONLY 12 Apostles of Yeshua! Not 70 (72) according to Luke's gospel and not endless numbers according to Ephesians 4:11 (which is ONE of MANY REASONS why the church of Ephesus recognized Pharisee Saul Paul of Tarsus as a false apostle; the only role Saul Paul of Tarsus got correct in Ephesians 4:11 is prophet as documented in Matthew 23:34. In Matthew 10, 1 of 12 Apostles documented the 12 sent out. Luke is a second and even third hand recording and not an Apostle. John 10:16 has Yeshua as the ONLY poimḗn/Shepherd/"pastor." Matthew 23:8-10 has Yeshua as the ONLY Rabbi/Teacher. John 6:44-45, 65 has the One True Creator from Genesis 1:1-2:3, John 17:1-4 as the ONLY Evangelist aka only entity that can draw anyone to Yeshua. Saul Paul of Tarsus said so much FALSEHOOD that a large book would be needed to correct it. But the ONLY gospel he had was to spread a name. You and I and many today knows a version of that name very well but most do not know the person as only Yeshua's flocks as spoken of in John 10 will KNOW him). Luke's Genealogy has absolutely nothing to do with Mary as all these Christian "scholars" like to push out. Luke 3:23 clearly states the genealogy is Joseph and not Mary. Not only this, the mother's genealogy for the Israelites aka "Jews" does not count at all towards inheritance much less heirship towards a Sceptor Holder. And Genesis 49:8-10 specifically said that the Sceptor Holder is through Judah. Adoption also does not count! Go back and read up in Second Kings on and see who "Joram" was that is listed as Jehoshaphat's son in Matthew 1:8. You will see that even though biological he was King Jehoshaphat of Judah biological son, that when King Ahab of Israel died and he had no heirs, that Joram took the throne of Israel and was now counted as Queen Jezebel and King Ahab’s son. There is even now a name change going on when this happened. But even though, legally Joram was now adopted to the Kingdom of Israel and no longer the Kingdom of Judah, biologically he still belonged to the Tribe of Judah and was indeed a King, and thus the Sceptor lines continued.... because the fact that the Israelites split and in essence, had two Kingdom, it is still only one Kingdom; and the true Sceptor Holder is from Judah. King Saul from the Tribe of Benjamin, the first King of Israel is a false King and not a true Sceptor Holder; King David was. Read 1 John 5 and realize that Yeshua's bloodline through his biological father Joseph is 1 of 3 testimonies on earth of 6 total testimonies of who Yeshua is regardless of men changed the gospel and speaking falsehood about a virgin conception and virgin birth. The malarkey spoken of around 5:20 of this video with the difference between Elohim [plural deity] versus YHWH [singular] and the garbage spewed on this that it is "art" other than the obvious that it is two different creations is quite sad. I, too, was just as equally blind. Genesis 1:1-2:3 is the One True Creator who is a Hermaphrodite. Adam (mankind) was an exact replicated image and was also an hermaphrodite (Genesis 1:26-28) with male and female. Most importantly, Genesis 1:29 gave mankind EVERY herbs and fruit that yield seeds to eat from. This includes from the Tree of Knowledge and Tree of Life. All of creation was created by spoken Words; "let there be..." and it was done! The imposter creator in starting at Genesis 2:4 created things out of the soil and started with Adam (mankind); the complete reverse of Genesis 1 in which Adam was created last! Also, the One True Creator knew all of creations' name and so did Adam as Adam was the image of the One True Creator. The One True Creator has dominion over all of creation and so did Adam [both heaven and earth as Yeshua reminded us in Matthew 18:18-20]. The false creator, even though he formed things out of the soil, did not have dominion as he knew their forms but not their names. The Second Adam, even though made out of the soil of the earth, was still the image of the One True Creator from Genesis 1:1-2:3 and knew the names of the replicated creatures. Thus, the false creator needed Adam to name each of the created creatures before tampering with Adam's image through a "deep sleep," which was in fact, darkness/forgetfulness being placed on Adam. When the newly separated male and female woke from the DNA separation, they were spiritually blind and did not recognize that they were now unrighteous [not right], which is spiritual nakedness. When they ate from the Tree of Knowledge, they realized what happened and knew the entity that created them were false. They also knew this entity slaughtered all of creation on earth before creating and that they too would be slaughtered if they weren't cunning enough to answer in a way that wasn't a lie, but not telling everything that they had learned. I recommend go seek [Matthew 7, Matthew 6:24-34] so that scriptures might be revealed to you [Luke 24:42-45] by the Spirit of Truth [John 14:26].

Or you could throw in a bunch of “or she” “or her” or whatever other feminine pronoun you’d like. But that’s just English nonsense. Many languages have feminine nouns, masculine nouns or even nouns that are neither feminine nor are they masculine. God, my God is called the Great I Am, the Alpha and the Omega. None of those denote masculine nor feminine. Why are you upset about a pronoun belonging to the one true God. You clearly don’t claim our Almighty creator as your own.

I often wonder if the Holy Spirit so lovingly spoken of in the bible is his wife.. and God just used a different name to throw people off. God is known for being very secretive - when Moses asked what's his name, God said I am Who I am or I am That I am (depending on which bible)...in Revelation he's Alpha and Omega. And throughout the bible, he has different names...Jehovah, Yahweh, Elohim, Adonai, El Shaddai, El Elyon, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Jireh, etc... I guess we won't know anything until we get to Heaven 🌹

I commit myself to read 7 chapters per day. Don't ask me if I remember the verses because I don't.. but one thing I noticed, my heart has changed and my mind had changed, has more understanding of the works of God through what is written in the Bible. And I realise that God does not want us to be punished but the law of God is there to keep us under His presence. For we don't know what we're doing, our ignorance kills us. It's our reference for us to be His Holy presence, for He is holy and were are not since Adam and Eve got deceived by the devil. And yet He still keeping us through His law of righteousness by faith. As part of the consequence of Adam and Eve disobedience, is to die. And God wants us to come back to Him after our physical death. The law is there but has consequences if we broke it. And Even God Himself cannot change it because He is just and true to His covenant. What if He changes it, then God is not the truth and not God. Another thing had happened to me when I was reading the lamentation and 1-2 chapter of Ezekiel I started to receive Gods words in a form as if I know what I am receiving. I started to write it down. I did not realise It was 3 Hours had given by already. The thing that highlights the messages most are it started about the garden of Eden that He created it just for one purpose, to let Adam and Eve know that even though they can have everything He created.. the tree of life is to tell Adam that He is still God and He has to be obeyed and respected. With it is a consequence Not a punishment but consequences of disobedience. The next message that hits me most is as if He spoke to me that He said that He is not bound by knowledge nor wisdom. He created knowledge and wisdom. And He gives it to whoever He pleases. And then end of the message is there will be dead everywhere. That the dead bodies will belong to waste. No one will bury their dead. In my belief, this current pandemic is nothing compared to what is about to come. And also that wisdom. will automatically be open to the person who has the heart of flesh and not a hardened heart. The God of heaven and above heaven and the earth and underneath it wants us to heed to His voice, observe His commandments and observe His justice. God has given us Jesus, used His blood to cleanse every sin we have committed. And this is the last warning now for all of us. And there's no second option here. We must repent and humble and believe to Jesus Christ now. To those who have the heart of flesh will start to understand this. Don't waste time. The time is now. We have to change our mind, the things from above and not the things of this world. God peace be with you.

[@Bobby14221234]

Dear Tippy114, about Exoudus 20:22. We should be destroyed because we ought not to bow down to any other Gods but only to Him alone. We are Gods creation. These words confirmed that our God is a sovereign God. In other words, he will do anything He pleases, and no one can stop Him. He is the maker and we are just His creation. Meaning If God wants to be pleased won't you, He will. But as He said, His ways are just and He I true to all with His covenant. We just have to simple trust Him. Although Gods wants us to ask a question but in my opinion, it should be No questions ask. Because our ways are sucks we just simply depend on Him because He created us. He numbered all the strands of your hair. Psalm 139, says He watched you while you are being made in your mothers womb. So who are we to question God? We are at His mercy, that is why He predetermined all of this before H created Adam and Eve, Jesus was there before Moses and Abraham. “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:4-6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ He created us as simple as for His pleasure. He created us with full freedom, in other words, we will have full knowledge of the truth and the lies, meaning the good an bad, and we have got to decide for ourselves to choose who you wanna be, being bad or being good. Check the verse above, when our parents, Adam and Eve, Gods first human creation without under the process of 9 months pregnancy, they are hand made by God an under the God's presence. Gods one of His angel temtep our parents to disobey Him. They ate the forbidden fruit. Th fruit that will reveal the truth and the lie. I turkey believe God made me understand that the tree in the garden of eden is there to tell Adam and Eve that He is God. God created us in His own likeness the Scripture says. But He still needs to be respected. You still.need to be serious about Him. Out of that full freedom to feel free an on all of Gods creation apart from the first commandment ever recorded in the scriptures. Not to eat the fruit of the tree. This is the reason why He has to let Adam an Ever go. Simply because they are holy anymore. God being God cannot live with another unholy being. According to Jesus Christ, about satan, “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭8:44-47‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ I do not understand these things before. I can fell aslee by reading the Bible. But I searched Him. An because He has loved do us already, He can not deny me asking Him to know Him. GOD WILL BREAK YOU FIRST BEFORE HE CAN COME into YOU. HE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF HUMAN BEING YOU ARE. ...AND THEN HE WILL GIVE YOU WISDOM AN KNOWLEDGE. As proverbs1 says. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Bit ask for wisdom is better than knowledge. Knowledge does not last wisdom is. You need to have a clean heart. Jesus said, in order for us to have a relationship with God, we need to be born again. He too was baptized by John the baptist. He doesn't need to but He is to, to lead an example and to fulfill all the righteousness Peace be with you. . You can always ask me. But I refer you to our Helper, The Holy Spirit, as Jesu promise. He will lead you to all righteous, convicts you to all your error.

And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.” And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22:8-11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Dear tippy114, ““He who sacrifices to any god, except to the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭22:20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. The true meaning of this one is about your heart should be belong to Him. And only Him. Because He created us. The reason why you are calling me sick is because I believe in Him. I did not say anything bad about you and yet you did? I am just witnessing about The only true God. People are scared to know that God punishes. It’s very simple to understand that there is God and heaven that wants us to reconcile to Him. By wholly accepting Him is through Jesus Christ. He came from Heaven, died on the cross. His blood wash your sins and mine. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. This is is difficult to understand for other people because of the wickedness of their heart. Genesis 6:5 Then the e LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. If I say there is Satan, the ruler of this world. I’m just wondering if you will believe this?

[@Bobby14221234]

tippy114, Psalm 147:4 He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. How is that God of Abraham and mine counts the stars and call them by it’s name wanted my offerings? Tippy114, some people areare refusing to believe Him and deny Him because they want to be comfortable and freedom in what they do. Parties, making monies, fornication, hatred, Self justification, disrespectful, disrespecting parents, And so many things that are in this world. Some people don’t want to believe the existence of God because of their sufferings and tribulations, they end up having a rebellious spirit in them of which Satan wants . They exclude God from their life. I was once one of them. I believed there is a devil and refuse Gods presence, I once one of them. But Jesus said the ruler of this world is here, ““And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14:29-30‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Jesus also warns us for having love for monies and self justify them. And also fornication. “Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him. And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God. “The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail. “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭16:14-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ 2,0000 years ago Jesus also warns us that there is an ocean of fire underneath our feet. The science nowadays called them volcanoes. ““There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’ But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’ “Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’ ”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭16:19-31‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭6:16-19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ I am telling you this with the love of the Lord. That is why I search this passage for you to know these things. The people should stop rebelling against the Creator of heaven and earth. We are just a pot and He is the Potter. If you own a properties and someone violates your properties. Would you not get angry? The same principle applies to God ownership over us. He loves us so much above all His creation because we are the only being that can hates but also give back love to Him. God is a sovereign God. He will do as He pleases. Remember God doesn’t need you and me. WE NEED GOD IN OUR LIFE. “and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Instead of gripping me with answers I don’t have. What I have are all from the bible. And so, I challenge you to read the bible because that is the foundation of every laws on the planet most importantly that is the foundation of every human being on the planet. This is going to be my last message to you Tippy114.

[@Bobby14221234]

tippy114 why would I be afraid of the truth where I am the one telling you the truth? Many people can’t really understand behind Gods scriptures because It’s the mans heart that has been hardened and blinding themselves. I was once blinded. But now I see. Your attitude remind of Nicodemus . He is the ruler of Jewish people and high ranking Pharisees. Meaning he has been reading his books and the book of Moses and yet don’t believe what was written there. So this was their conversation in the scriptures. “There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭3:1-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ In my heart I know that God is not talking about literal sacrifices before Him but it’s my heart. And so I will prove to you the meaning of that exodus 22:20 that is your heart that God wants to be sacrificed and not the litter all sacrifices. What would be the point having sacrifices but your heart doesn’t even believe to Him? But I will search it for you. IN MY HEART One thing is DEFINITELY IS FOR SURE- WE ARE NOT IN ANY SHOES TO QUESTION THE KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM OF GOD. Why there are sufferings. If you read the bible about the rich man and Lazarus. Lazarus was a beggar. Before he died, his last food was just a crumbs of food that fell from the rich mans table . Lazarus died when the dog licked his sores. After he died God has welcomed Lazarus in grand fashion.. he was taken by the angels. But When then rich man died, he was buried and taken to the lake of fire. In other words it’s not about how we would suffer on earth but who would believe Gods existence and avoid sinning till our last breath. I do believe that all of us has been in the blue print of Gods book. God is only waiting for His people when they die so that He can tell us how much he loves us by giving us a true joy and true inheritance from Him in heaven. The monies and the worldly things perishes but I do believe He will give His children an everlasting inheritance. Storing inheritance from heaven while we are here on earth is better than storing things from earth and perishes. One day I was reading the book of Ezekiel and this words just came to me that very far from what I am reading. This words came to my heart saying- GOD IS NOT BOUND BY TIME NOR BY SPACE. BECAUSE IF HE IS BOUND BY THESE TWO WORDS HE IS NOT GOD. AND ALSO, GOD IS NOT BOUND BY KNOWLEDGE AND BY WISDOM BECAUSE HE CREATED KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM. Therefore, if God is bound by time, space, knowledge and wisdom I will not believe in God.

And when the claim is extraordinary, such as miracles, afterlife, talking snakes, etc. the evidence needs to be pretty darn strong. Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence.

Sadly not, he lost me when he referenced Romans in the same sentence as the book of Genesis, they're not connected. Paul never met Jesus & anything Paul says is created by Paul's imagination. So minds aren't closed it's simply that until I hear something that makes sense & can be observed, evaluated, measured it's not real. Twenty minutes watching the discoveries of the James Webb space telescope & it's obvious that the God of Genesis, of the Torah didn't create the universe. I take no pleasure in saying this, it's simply the only rational thing anyone can say.

You are to be commended for your diligence in the Word. But do you know what the words mean? For instance, did you know that in the Hebrew the phrase transliterated - ets da'ath tob tavek gan (the tree of good and evil) the "and" is a connective term and not a contrastive term? Human good and evil are the same thing. There had to be a volitional choice in the Garden and the choice was not between good and evil, it was between God's Plan for mankind, represented by the Tree of Lives from which they were free to eat daily, and Satan's Plan, represented by the Tree of Good and Evil, which was forbidden to them.

I would love to get your comment on the video referenced below where John Lennox, Professor at Oxford, takes the position supporting a gap of time between verses 1-2 and verse 3 of Genesis Chapter 1 (the creation of Heaven and Earth and the sequence of days beginning in verse 3. His basis for supporting the gap is the tense used in verses 1-2 references an infinite time before the sequence of (six) days. Genesis 1:1-2 “In the beginning,” that was not day one. The sequence of days all begins in verse 3 with “And God said…” The first two verses of Genesis are written in a different past tense than the sequence of days beginning in verse 3. Because John Lennox wanted to get it right, and he admits he is not a Hebrew expert, he consulted professors at Cambridge and Oxford - both believers in God incidentally, and they said the tense simply indicates that the first statement occurred at an infinite time before the sequence of days beginning in verse 3.

[@dgrewar]

Starting in Genesis 1:1 the Hebrew Bible is beautiful in language. At one time when the Jews were taken into Babylonian captivity, most of the Jews quit using Hebrew and began to speak Greek. By the time Jesus came along they were all speaking Greek. When Jesus quoted the Bible He almost always quoted the Greek Septugent. The apostle Paul said that he was a Hebrew of Hebrews, one of the few who could speak Hebrew. A Hebrew congregation is called a Synagogue, which is a Greek word. When the Jews were taken down to Babylon they learned to speak Greek and studied the Greek Septugent which is the a translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek. (Around 300BC). The Septugent is not by any means a perfect translation. While the Jews were in Babylonian captivity, they were infected with Babylonian concepts of creation, where God created chaos and out of chaos He created order. So when the Jews translated the Hebrew Bible into the Greek Septugent, they incorporated their Babylonian idea of creation. In the Hebrew Bible, Genesis 1:1 the word "beginning and Heaven" are plural, but in the Greek Septugent and the KJV they are singular. The Hebrew word Bara is third person, masculine, singular and perfect tense. Third person is "He" masculine, singular...so in the first verse of the Hebrew Bible we know there is only one God. Now for the Jews there's a problem, the word is perfect tense....it's finished. God didn't begin to create the heavens and the earth, it's done. And that's where they get the Idea of evolution from, saying He began to create the heavens and the earth. Now the king James used the same idea because it was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was translated from the Greek Septugent, which is why we have all these problems with the young earth theory. God created perfection, God is a creator of perfection. When God created the Angels and Spirits, He created them perfect. But a third of all the Angels and Spirits became imperfect because of their own volition. So inBeginnings בְּרֵאשִׁית (in one of the beginning) created בָּרָא (brought to the final order, Elohim אֱלֹהִים thats God. The word Elohim is plural, (three or more). Now there aren't three God's because God is triune, like us, we are made in His image, body, soul and spirit. God made us in His shadow casting likeness, blood flowing likeness and spiritual likeness, in God's image, in the image of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We will only see one triune God in eternity. Colossians and Hebrews tells us that God created the heavens and the earth, that God spoke creation into existence. The אֵת whole universe הַשָּׁמַיִם and וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ earth (the dry land as opposed to wet ground) And this is what the Hebrew Bible really sais in Genesis 1:1. You can either accept what the Bible says historically or you don't. God inspired the Bible in the Hebrew and Greek languages and it is God breathed. But the problem with most of the religious world today is that they believe the King James version is inspired, or that the American Standard version is inspired, or the New International Version is inspired, or that the Living Translation is inspired, or that the Amplified Bible version is inspired. The Bible is only inspired in its original languages and if you really want to know what the Bible says, don't just take some translator's word for it, go to the original inspired texts in the languages the Bible was inspired in. The Hebrew Bible is inspired by God Himself, but the Greek Septugent that Jesus used in His time, was a translation of the Hebrew Bible, so it's not perfect. Many times Jesus corrected the translation of the Greek Septugent. The Holy Word of God is the Bible in the original Hebrew text. Many of the translations we read today are not translations, but interpretations. Translations and interpretations are two different things. The Catholic church (Jerome) took the Hebrew and Greek, Scriptures and translated then into Latin then from 400AD to 800AD persecuted anyone who had in their possession Hebrew and Greek Scriptures. Only wealthy educated officials, doctors and lawyers who read Latin could afford Jerome's Latin translation of the Bible. Because of violent Catholic State/Church persecution, it became a requirement that Baptist preachers memorise all 150 Psalms in Hebrew and the four Gospels in Greek. The psalms are full of prophesy. Psalm 23 and John 10:1, "I am the good shepherd". Satan has done everything he could, to destroy every copy of the inspired Word of God. He even had the Textus Recepus made, which is a translation from Greek and Hebrew into Latin and then back into Greek, and there's some loss there. Sadly many people accept the Textus Recepus as the bonafide received inspired word from God. The 1611 King James translation is a very biased translation, because it was translated by King James for the state church of England. If anyone dared protest inaccuracies in the translation, they would die a gruesome death, burnt at the stake. So many Christians were burned at the stake that they ran out of fire wood and the Baptist's were blamed for the shortage. Despite these atrocities many churches and private schools are still King James only, believing that the 1611 king James translation is the inspired word of God. And the same goes for the young earth theory which has no biblical foundation. KJV Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth א בְּרֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים, אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ. Verse 1 - Literally translated א בְּרֵאשִׁית. InBeginnings It is one word in the original language which is why it's joined together. There is no definite article. The original language has a definite article but Moses did not use it. The word for beginnings is an old plural. The Idea - at some point in the beginnings, one of the beginnings, we don't know which, but a beginning out of all of them. בָּרָא Created The verb comes before the subject and would be better translated as "had created" The form of the verb is perfect tense, meaning completed, done, brought to perfection. In the first verse of Genesis we have the earth existing in a finished starte. Dinosaurs, vegetation and life we cannot imagine existing already. The earth was in a complete state. KJV Genesis 1:2 and 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. ב וְהָאָרֶץ, הָיְתָה תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ, וְחֹשֶׁךְ, עַל-פְּנֵי תְהוֹם; וְרוּחַ אֱלֹהִים, מְרַחֶפֶת עַל-פְּנֵי הַמָּיִם (Does God have a Spirt? No, "God is Spirt" John 4:24) John as an aside, Dr James M Phillips has preached over 10000 messages in his life. He undertook 12 years of seminary studies, completing 219 units and a further 185 unit's, getting a doctorate of Bible languages which very few people have. Dr James Phillips is eminently qualified to make literal translations of the inspired Hebrew and Greek Scriptures

I never heard this perspective but love it!! Loved how you saw that in the beginning the earth was a ball filled with water and it returns to that when God undid this during the flood and you tied it again to the ball of water again. Thank you for that new insight.

[@darnellpistachio2991]

I suggest you read it for yourself. This "ball" idea might disappear. "And in the midst of the waters he put a FIRMAMENT, to separate the waters above (the firmament), with the waters below (the firmament), and He called this space "Sky." Go read the creation account for yourself and see if i made that up. The bible TELLS us whats above the sky, and yet we trust NASA.

[@johnp6859]

The reason why there had to be water above the sky was to explain rain before they knew about the water cycle. Most of the concepts in Genesis are common sense interpretations of Nature. You find similar ideas in most of the ancient mythologies. Kinda proves the Bible text was drafted by people with very limited knowledge of the mechanisms behind nature. I don't think God would have made such errors!

[@karunanithin.ramachandran6482]

For me, the Bible is a living book because every time I read the Bible, something new is revealed. Reading the Gospel according to St. John, chapter 1; verse 1 to 14, I understand that the bible is God in Word form, and it clearly says that the lord Jesus is God in the Flesh. The whole Bible is about our Lord Jesus and you can see it in the life of Abraham, Joseph, and the story of the Kinsman Redeemer, and there is plenty more throughout the whole Bible, No wonder God warned us not to add or take away anything from the Bible., because by doing that we will be perverting the true image of our Lord Jesus Christ as revealed to us by God. Our Lord Jesus told the apostle Peter that he was blessed because God chose to reveal to Peter the person of Jesus Christ. It is upon this revealation given to Peter

Thank you for an excellent analysis of this verse. With NO disrespect intended, I have 2 questions. I do not speak Hebrew. In all the translations available to me I find many use the singular ‘heaven’ and many use the plural. Will you please address the difference? I understand that ‘Elohim’ is plural. I was surprised that in a rather thorough discussion of this verse, that distinction was not mentioned. Was there a particular reason for the omission?

It just occurred to me that the “hammer blows” as he calls it, וַיָּמֹת׃ (and he died) occurs six times until Enoch. But when it gets to Enoch, God takes him. So it seems that Enoch’s life serves as a prophetic sabbath marker that indicates a coming rest from the tragedy of death, and by which God interjects into the genealogical story, his control of history, and his merciful promise to break the curse of death. It’s amazing!

And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. 7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: 11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; 12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. 13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? 14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

One verse in genesis 6 and man has blown it completely out of context. Hebrews 1 makes it very clear God has NEVER called an angel his son. Angels do not mate !

Actually it depends on the gospel you use and which one you think was actually recorded first, not organized in the New Testament first.
