The word MADE is used several times in Genesis 1 it means the same thing!
Bara is not the same meaning as asah. Bara is a word uniquely attributed to God. Asah can even apply to men, but never bara when it comes to creating something.
You can not *make* something out from nothing.
It does not say ... "In the beginning God *made* the heavens and earth.
Why? Because God *created out from nothing* the heavens and earth.
Bara is used in several verses in reference to God creating people. It is used in reference to the people who died in the flood and Jacob as well as several others. These people were not created from nothing they were offspring from their parents. Even Adam & Eve we’re not created from nothing.
Adam and Eve's souls were created in Genesis 1:27. Their bodies were produced for those souls in Genesis 2.
In Genesis 1:28 He tells them to be fruitful and multiply. Souls don’t multiply.
Malachi 2:10
Correct.... Souls do not multiply. God was revealing His plan for mankind when He said to go forth and multiply. Keep in mind. Angels were witnessing to God's conversation. God was revealing his plan for mankind.
Then why did He need to give them bodies later?

Then why did He need to give them bodies later? After God created those souls?
Bodies reproduce, not souls.
For it says, the Lord breathed into the nostrils of the body (a body that was not bara/created) the breath of lives....
The body was 'jatsar' - molded and formed, out from the elements of the earth. It was not 'bara' created out from nothing like the souls were in Genesis 1:27.
How can you be able to catch such details as you do, yet missed the others?
That means you are not incapable of knowing truth.
Its the human soul that was created in God's image. The body now is disposable. The body was not created in God's image.
He wasn’t “revealing His plan” He told them to go forth and multiply. He did t say go forth and multiply later on after I give you a body.
Careful... As you judge, so shall you be judged. For it is yourself whom you speak of.This is pointless you refuse to accept what the scriptures actually state and I’m done pointing out your mistakes. There’s no reason to continue this discussion “he who has ears to hear let him hear”. You seem more concerned with protecting your theory than rightly dividing the word of God so if your going to turn a blind eye to the scriptures there’s nothing more I can say to convince you. Have a blessed day.
Do you mind telling us what denomination you are? Or are you non denominational?I'm not a YEC but I don't dispute them. I simply don't know how old the earth is and I'm skeptical that anyone actually does
I just don’t know what I think. I was raised Catholic then after quite a long faith journey I became Lutheran LCMS. Problem is, my church believes in creationism and Catholics are free to choose. This has bothered me for a long time. I might return to Catholicism over it.
Does anybody here have scholarly scientific links to prove creationism?
