    Genesis: Beginning of Dry Land, not Planet Earth

    I believe the bible in its entirety to be inspired by Yahweh Elohim (whom most people call God.) Because of that, I believe that Genesis 1 is not about the creation of Planet Earth but about the creation of one small part of it - the raising of the land that was underwater between the Nile and...

    Brief Study On Genesis 1:1-2

    Definitions Darkness, Deep (Tehom: sea, abyss) and Formless. These are the 3 elements of Chaos (tohu wa bohu). This oddly is in opposition of the Trinity of God (this is just an observation). Chaos: Tohu va vohu. Formless: Confusion, unreality, emptiness Void: Waste, destruction, ruin The...

    You Are NOT an Accident

    Is contraception sinful according to Genesis 38?

    Hello! In Genesis 38, Er had a wife named Tamar. Because he was wicked, God killed him (v. 7). According to the customs of the time, Er's brother, Onan, should enter a levirate marriage with her to produce offspring continuing his brother's line (v. 8). He knew the offspring wouldn't be his...

    Genesis Plot Holes

    There are seemingly two giant plot holes in the first few chapters of Genesis. They have always bothered me. When I was an atheist I was able to point and laugh, but as a Christian there is no satisfactory answers to be found. Anyone that ever tries to answer them ends up making assumptions...

    Genesis 1

    Hi everyone, I am embarrassed to ask this but I am having problems understanding Genesis 1. Would someone please clarify it for me? On the first day, God created light. However, on the fourth day, God created the sun, the moon, and the stars. Would light not be the sun? I am really...

    The Tower of Babel Story Discredits Inspiration

    Genesis presents the dispersion of human language as historical narrative. Since Genesis 11: 1-9 is not a representation of historical fact, the doctrine of inspiration (as well as inerrancy) is untenable. Disclaimer: Premise one assumes Genesis 11 is Historical Narrative, since that is the...

    The amount of water from each source (rain & subsurface water) needed to flood the world

    Hi I’m a fictional writer now by trade but I’m composing a short educational work that talks about Creation Science and how it can possibly jive in many areas with other scientific discoveries or theories apart from Christian creation science. I’m not debating the issues against each other, but...

    Genesis verses 1:14-19 seem to belong after verse 1:5. Wondering what you all think...

    Genesis verses 1:14-19 seem to belong after verse 1:5. I have long been a student of Genesis, especially chapters 1-3, and I came across this odd observation/problem/solution a few years ago, not 'because' of any problem related to the creation events, but purely from a 'linguistic' observation...

    Problems in Genesis

    I have just been reading through Genesis for the first time in several years and I have a few questions. 1) Why does God switch between plural and singular throughout the first two chapters of Genesis? For example, Genesis 1:26 reads, "Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our...

    Adam And Eve, Christ And Israel.

    I don’t know how coherent this will be but it hit me like a lightbulb this afternoon and I wanted to note it down. I might try and edit it in the future really just for me but others might need it. How in Genesis God made Adam outside of the garden and brought him into it. And How without God...

    I’m having trouble trying to figure out what the light is that was created on the 1st day of creation since the sun, moon, and stars were created on the 4th day. I will be going over this on Saturday with my family for bible study and I’ve asked 2 pastors from my church who also didn’t have an...

    Seeds of Genesis

    The seeds of Genesis. Just like the book of Job that is the oldest book perhaps in the world, the seeds of Genesis are the boundary stones that are not to be moved. The book of Job tells us of the game that we find ourselves in and when all is said and done, when all has been restored, after God...

    What The Biblical Veganism?

    Oh, diets. Controversial at best especially in the Christian and Jewish communities. Kosher vs. gentile diets. What's pleasing to Adonai our God? I wondered this for a long time. I felt bad about eating meat all my life and yet I couldn't deny the lust for animal blood. The juicier the steak...

    A Foolish Choice Cost Me My Kids

    A few years back, my kids did something very crazy. Something that I have trouble forgiving them for. They took someone from me, in their paranoid state of mind. Someone who only wanted to help them. All because I thought I could save them from themselves. Because I wanted them to have a better...

    Scripture Question - Genesis 22

    So, I'm doing a devotional bible study, and I'm reading the passage about how God tells Abraham to sacrifice his son Issac, and then stops him at the last moment. I understand the significance to Abraham. He needed to understand his priorities, that even the gifts God gave him could not come...
