I have to disagree with your strange insert between the lines theology.
Gen 2:2 informs us that God completed the 7th day and rested. There in no mention of a future 7th day.
Please show where God rested from
ALL of His work in the past since God is STILL creating Adam (mankind) in His Image, which is in Christ TODAY as Gen 1:27 states. Gen 1:28 also tells of a time in the FUTURE when mankind will be given dominion or rule over EVERY living creature, which includes viruses, mosquitoes and Angels.
1Co 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels?
ALSO, show when in the past ALL living creatures, including bears and lions were vegetarians as Gen 1:30 states. Then, tell us when God, in the past, declared that it was very good as Gen 1:31 states. You cannot since ALL of those events take place AFTER Jesus returns to this Earth at the end of the present 6th Day/Age. What you are posting is the superstitious view of ancient men who God tells us could NOT understand Scripture. Dan 12:4
*** Gen 2:4 tells us day spoken of here has a different nuisance. The word day indicates a time period. We can know this because it says...These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.
Whwn we turn to Gen 1 we read "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." That was day 1. The heavens and earth existed then...and God tells us how He shaped them in the following 5 days.
Genesis 1:1 tells us of the creation of the air, dust, and water, which came from gases in the air. Gen 1:2 shows that the earth was
without form, which is dust since the dust was NOT yet shaped into an Earth. The ingredients, which Jesus would use to form everything which exists physically, John 1:3 were brought into the physical world but the first Earth was NOT made until the
3rd Day. Gen 1:10
Gen 1:2 also shows that darkness or death was upon those ingredients which means that anything made from them would be subject to death. Jesus, the Light of the first Day,
Col 1:18 will form the Heavens and the Earth and will defeat darkness or death at the end of the present
6th Day as the following verse confirms:
1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
Is death still present? Of course it is so it's destruction is FUTURE.
*** No need to argue Gen 2:18-25.
Gen 1:27 tells us He made male and female on day 6th. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Not day 3. In fact there is no mention of a man being made on day 3 in Genesis chapter 1. That is something you put there.
Not so, since Gen 2:4-7 details the events of the
3rd Day, the same Day the first Earth was made Gen 1:10 but BEFORE the plants, herbs and rain, WHEN Adam was formed of the dust of the ground. Gen 2:8-9 ALSO shows that the Trees were made
AFTER Adam was made which AGREES with Gen 1:12 which shows that the plants, herbs and trees
GREW on the
3rd Day.
*** What you have done is assignes specific nuiances to the words mad, create, born again and severly distorted the account of Cain and Able.
No one picking up the bible and reading the opening chapters of Genesis would come to your conclusion.
Amen, and that AGREES with what God told us here:
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth NOT the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
In order to understand Scripture, one MUST be born again Spiritually, and STUDY, and live in the last days just before Jesus returns, in order to rightly divide the Word of Truth. God told Daniel HOW to hide His Truth until the end of time:
Dan 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
It's time to go beyond the plain reading of God's Holy Word for we have but a short time left to tell this lost and dying world that God's Truth in Genesis IS true Scripturally, Scientifically and Historically. Amen?
