Genesis 1:1

his city as he is 2/3 god and 1/3 man. Gilgamesh is very loyal to his city of Uruk and to the people in his city as he protects them from anything bad happening to them (GILGAMESH). Being brave in the Mesopotamian society shows people there is nothing to fear which is viewed as a good character trait defining one as a “good person”. In Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh and another character named Enkidu fight. Enkidu was created to fight Gilgamesh and is known to be 2/3 animal and 1/3 human. When Gilgamesh…

The people who settled Sodom were the descendants of Noah’s grandson, Canaan. Was the seed of evil that reached its fullness in Noah’s day before the flood also present in the seed of Ham’s son, Canaan? Is it also possible that Ham’s wife was with child when she entered the ark? If so, perhaps the seed of wickedness from Ham’s wife — like Noah’s wine — was given time to ferment. Whether through that birth or a repetition of demonic unions like those prior to the flood, wickedness would again…

It was God’s promise that His Son Jesus would descend from Abraham and be the Messiah. The Gospel of Matthew 1:1-16 lists the genealogy of Jesus and he includes four women who were gentiles: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and the wife of Uriah. God wanted His Son to be the Savior for all people, both Jews who believed in God, as well as gentiles who were non-believers. To fulfill his promise to Abraham and also make certain that Jesus would be the Messiah for everyone, God needed to make certain that…

How did humans get on earth and who created the universe? The Christianity culture and their mythology beliefs on how the Earth and humans came about is intriguing because there’s an entire book written on the beginning of time, known as “The Bible”. This is a massive book with a plethora of information and versions that reference the Christianity myth. The Bible contains sixty-six books divided up into two sections, the Old Testament and The New Testament. The Christianity culture is lived on…

continuing a theme of forgiveness and reconciliation throughout the book of Genesis. In Genesis it is shown time and time again that Yahweh is a very forgiving God and not only that but he expects his followers to be so as well. Right at the beginning we have God having to forgive Adam and Eve for taking a bite of the forbidden fruit. Betrayal, repentance, and forgiveness are three repeated steps throughout the book of Genesis and are carried out through the later books. And Joseph’s story fits…

never heard of that coming from science before. I knew that there had to be some similarities because in most arguments, there seems to be at least one thing that matches up, but I had never even heard of there being an Adam and Eve in science. (Genesis 1…

Thesis: My thesis started as: Sarah’s laughter is the only reasonable response to Yahweh. After wrestling with the scripture and current events my new thesis is: Sarah’s laughter thrust her out of the tent and into the center of God’s promise for descendants. Straight white males in power need to consider this birth narrative, listen to the laughter of others, and move out of the center of the story. Begin at Home: As a clown I deal in the business of laughter. I have worked professionally…

detail the history behind one of his most well known. In this piece of artwork, titled Adam and Eve (Fig 1), he used an engraving method to depict a scene involving Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. This piece was created in 1504 in Dürer’s homeland, Germany. Throughout the scene, many different symbols appear which come together to form an interpretation of what happened in the book of Genesis. Dürer also focuses most of his attention on the detail of the man and women and creating the…

The consequences of this is the banishment of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, as well as the introduction of sin into mankind. (Genesis 3). Sin may be defined as the absence of good much like darkness is the absence of light (McCrillis & D, 2014)*. Just as we inherit traits from our parents, the bible says we inherit our sinful nature from Adam and Eve because we descended from them…

In Genesis 3, the serpent convinced Adam and Eve that eating the fruit from the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil would give them God’s wisdom which they already had. “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened…
