Bible Question: This is my first post. I am having a discussion with other teachers about the "creation" story. They say there are two, Genesis 1 and Genesis 2. Why? |
Bible Answer: Hey sweetpea0413, Gen 1:26-27 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. KJV Gen 2:7 7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. KJV You will notice that in Gen. 2 he says he formed man (man alone), but in Gen. 1 he says made them male and female, and in Gen. 2 he says he formed man and then later took a rib from Adam a formed Woman. There is a separation in Gen.2 and in a different point in time, and he made male and female at one time in Gen. 1. Do you have eyes to See? Great question!!!!!!!!!! I hope I've been a help!
