True. But sometimes, fellow Christians also make the Bible hard to believe because they insist on pressing silly interpretations of it, wouldn't you agree?
Wow! I read the Scripture many many times and this is the first time I remember seeing the words:2 Peter 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
It is believe to be the Holy Spirit that gives the church its authority, not the Bible.But it has been well seen since the first century or soon after,
that the Bible did not give the worldly church its authority. That came from man/men. (and not good)
There is no point in trying to have a discussion with you. Your mind is closed to anything other than that which you have already decided is true. All you do is repeat the same things over and over and ignore anything anyone says that is different.It deals with the natural and verifies the natural and repeats the natural, there can be no denial. Creation was not natural. Time to admit it
And a different order.Because Gen 2 is a rehash of what was already done, giving extra details - not a different account
Correct, it just exclimates the authority.It is believe to be the Holy Spirit that gives the church its authority, not the Bible.
You know, with all love and due respect to those in the skeptical circles, we should all remember the purported words of St. Francis "preach the Gospel, and if necessary, use words." Our actions should dictate not only our beliefs, but our connections with God and subsequent acceptance of the graces He gives us. With how some skeptics and atheists act here on CF, it would appear that, at least in speech, no one is at peace with themselves or with the world: "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear" (Ephesians 4:29). "Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person" (Colossians 4:6). I will pray for youAnd a different order.
But I suspect you will just deny this and continue holding what you already decided is true.
Why are you here if your mind is closed and you think that the creation of God has to be explained only by the natural? Have you some proof it was natural?There is no point in trying to have a discussion with you. Your mind is closed to anything other than that which you have already decided is true. All you do is repeat the same things over and over and ignore anything anyone says that is different.
Why are you even here if you refuse to have a discussion?
There is no order in chapter two regarding the sequence of creation and days etc. Show me one morning and evening or day in chapter 2? You can't. Why do you insist it is some other and different set of mornings and evenings then??And a different order.
But I suspect you will just deny this and continue holding what you already decided is true.
It's important to remember that chapter and verse divisions were not originally in the bible, but were added much later as an aid to referencing particular parts of the bible. So there was no "Chapter 1" and "Chapter 2" when Genesis was first written. I think chapter divisions were added in the early 13th century A.D., and verses in the 16th century. As for your question about one account, why should it not be, as the post to which you were replying said, that what we now call Genesis 2 deals in more detail with what has already been recorded in the previous chapter, rather than a separate account?Agreed. But why do you insist upon calling it one account? You have two chapters in a book which you insist on calling one chapter. You must have some reason for doing it.
No agreement here. no.
In the verse that I found, it makes it hard on the interpreter, not the interpretee.
2 Peter 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
No. That's not correct.Everyone is an interpreter of an author. Everyone.
Why ?And, while I'm at it, may I ask you to please refrain from making up your own words. Thank you!
It most CERTAINLY is correct. How do I know? Because I have the work of nearly three dozen diverse Bible scholars who tell me this very thing.No. That's not correct.
Why ?
"Jesus Praises Father for Hiding Teachings
According to Scripture, Jesus praised God the Father for hiding salvation and spiritual truths from scholars and wise individuals, and revealing them to “little children” (Matthew 11:25-26). This passage highlights God’s sovereign choice to conceal His ways from those who rely on human wisdom and understanding, and to reveal them to those who approach Him with childlike faith and humility."
Genesis 2 is a separate account. For example, in Genesis 1, Adam and Eve are created on day 6 after animals. Whereas in Genesis 2, Adam comes first, Adam names all the animals, he is lonely and could not find a helper, then Eve is created after the animals were named.It's important to remember that chapter and verse divisions were not originally in the bible, but were added much later as an aid to referencing particular parts of the bible. So there was no "Chapter 1" and "Chapter 2" when Genesis was first written. I think chapter divisions were added in the early 13th century A.D., and verses in the 16th century. As for your question about one account, why should it not be, as the post to which you were replying said, that what we now call Genesis 2 deals in more detail with what has already been recorded in the previous chapter, rather than a separate account?
Matthew 11:25-26, Jesus breaks into prayer, saying, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.” This statement is part of Jesus’ prayer of thanksgiving, where He acknowledges God’s wisdom and ways as superior to human understanding.
