Genesis

book of Bible; instead of Genesis, the first book of Bible; some argues that the family members of the patriarchs are given no moral rules to respect in the Patriarchal Age. However, many de facto rules that regulate the life of the family members of the patriarchs are actually revealed or implied in the Book of Genesis, corresponding the Ten Commandments and furthermore explaining the standards of the Hebrews…

the Bible’s verse, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth,” by using many ways of criticism (KJV). A start point for critics and theologians, to develop and analyze, what took place during this complicated process. Furthermore, in Genesis 1:31, “God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good,” and completed on “the sixth day,” also brings the whole creation story full circle (KJV). Which this very, early literary description, became the norm, first for the…

[Eve] took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat” (Genesis 3:6). Adam was not deceived. He knew what was happening, and he made a conscious decision to suffer the consequences of his wife for disobeying God instead of separating himself from Eve by not participating in the sin. God told Adam if he ate the fruit, in that day he would die (Genesis 2:17). Adam did die that day as the dominating leader of earth, he died spiritually because sin…

Monkeys, birds, and fish have similarities to humans by how their skeleton is built, but that doesn’t mean they are our ancestors. Darwin needed evolution as a reason to live, so he created something that he believed was real. Evolution has been something that nonreligious people have made up to follow, but there isn’t actual written proof that it ever happened. Some scientists have disproved it; the Bible is completely against it and in mythology it links back to the Bible. There…

parties (unconditional). If one of the parties should happen to fail in meeting their requirements, then the covenant is broken and neither side is required to fulfill their expectations. The term covenant is used many times throughout the book of Genesis and the book of Exodus. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your…

of creation. I'm a retired businessman and have decided to share what I have learned over the past 50 years, through this book. The purpose of The Eighth Day is to reveal validated proof that the creation story of the Old Testament, in the book of Genesis, is irrefutably true. The relevance of the proof, is that the teller of the creation story would have had to be there to describe the occurrences, in such detail. NASA scientists, exploring the universe with the Hubble telescope, observed new…

In Genesis, there is a considerable amount of deception; some of which go unpunished. Only the patriarchs are able to lie while God does nothing to condemn them. For the patriarchs, the act of lying seems to be promoted as they continue to gain riches and complete their goals from the lies they have told others, especially those in power. On the other hand, those who God does not favor lie are severely punished, especially if their lie is meant to harm sacred humans such as Abraham, Jacob, and…

In Judaism, the cosmology is told in the book of Genesis, the first book of the Torah. Genesis tells the creation story twice, in Genesis chapter one and two, but with each time it is told with a new focus (Sacks, 2004, 78). The first chapter of Genesis gives a full, over-all story of the creation of the heavens and the earth and man’s position within it. In the second chapter of Genesis, the story focuses of the creation of man and the result in God creating woman. The third chapter tells the…

the sin of the world” (John 1:29 KJV), He has arrived and many accounts of His deeds are found in the testimonies of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Jesus, born of a virgin, descendent of Abraham and David (Matthew chapter1), is the seed of Eve in Genesis, the Passover Lamb in Exodus, Emanuel of Isaiah, the redeemer of mankind. He was sent by God, His Father to be the sacrifice to atone for the sin of the fall which could not be washed away by the flood. Our constant and ongoing struggle against…

After the tragic event, my family and I rushed to his coffin. I saw his face of happiness once again, marking as a happy person on Earth. Despite his happiness, tears flowed freely from my eyes as a sign of helplessness and mourning. Many of his colleagues, friends, fellow co-workers, and supporters have rushed to his wake in Makati. Most of them gave their condolences and counsels. "Stay strong," "Condolences," these were the common words/phrases I heard from them. I reminisced my experiences…
