Genesis (Bereshit) 1:1 to 2:4 the elohim (plural) gods created everything including man and rested.
Starting with 2:4 a brand new god (singular) makes a man out of the dust of the earth and a woman out of his rib...you all know the story.
How is this possible?
Why does the preacher NEVER touch on this. EVER. Go read it for yourself it will only take a few minutes and you will be amazed. There are two completely different creation stories. I do not think anyone has ever posted on this contradiction. Which story is right or are they both lies. If the Bible is a LIE from the first few words at the get-go in Genesis, can you accept anything at all coming after?
Please, do me a big favor and go read the first two chapters and tell me what you think. I would appreciate it.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23761823 THE FIRST CHAPTER GOD IS SPEAKING BY FAITH, HE SPOKE THE CREATION INTO EXISTENCE, CHAPTER 2 HE COMMANDS HIS SPOKEN WORD TO BECOME REALITY!
And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day
(Eternity) and sanctified it, because in it
(Eternity) He rested from all His work which God had created and made.
This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown.
(Before Life Existed on earth) For the LORD God had not caused it to rain
(= Life) on the earth,
(Rain is Eternal LIFE) and there was no man to till the ground;
(There was no man to receive stewardship of earth) but a mist
(The Presence of The Holy Spirit brings Life) went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.
(The Eternal One brings Life to Heaven on Earth) (This says we were made from dust, not from the Watered ground)And the LORD God formed man of the dust
(SIN, for Dust thou are and to Dust you shall return… The flesh is dead because of DUST!) of the ground, (The Surface/ The World) and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
(Eternal Life) and man became a living being.
(An Eternal being) The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man
(The Dust) whom He had formed.
And out of the ground
(The surface) the LORD God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life
(The MESSIAH) was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
(The Fig Tree….. ADAM!)Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden,
(The Throne Garden Of God) and from there it parted and became four riverheads.
(North, South, East, West) God has His waters of Life wrapping the Globe)The name of the first is Pishon;
(Free flowing) it is the one which skirts the whole land of Havilah,
(This River is Free flowing around the ENTIRE EQUATOR) where there is gold.
(HOLINESS!) And the gold of that land is good.
(HEAVEN!) Bdellium
(LIGHT) and the onyx stone
(Darkness) are there. The name of the second river is Gihon;
(The Gusher/ SIN!) it is the one which goes around the whole land of Cush.
(The Land of Darkness / Earth) The name of the third river is Hiddekel;
(The Rapid River…… DEATH!) it is the one which goes toward the east of Assyria.
(Sin and Death) The fourth river is the Euphrates.
(The River Of Life)
