Genesis 1 – 3
Genesis 1:1 has to be considered the most important verse in the Bible today:
In the beginning, God created everything: the heavens above and the earth below. Here’s what happened:
The key to the Bible is here, since if you have a tough time believing “God created everything” then the rest of this book is more a story with good morals. Think about how significant that statement is and how faith in this is critical. I could spend hours upon hours discussing the scientific aspects of how Genesis 1 can be proven as true, but will save space by suggesting you search “Walter Veith” for a clear scientific explanation on this subject. The key is faith and belief that Genesis 1 is true and not allow the atheists/ Satanist to sway you into thinking otherwise.
Genesis 1:26 mentions man’s rule of the species:
Now let Us conceive a new creation—humanity—made in Our image, fashioned according to Our likeness. And let Us grant them authority over all the earth—the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, the domesticated animals and the small creeping creatures on the earth.
Notice how God has given us rule over the domesticated animals and small creeping creatures but not the wild animals described in verse 24. That makes one understand more fully why it is almost impossible to tame a wild beast today, the Bible is clear we do not have dominion over them. Notice how in verse 30 all the creatures from verse 24 are mentioned:
As for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and every small creeping creature—everything that breathes the breath of life—I have given them every green plant for food.
Also notice how everyone was vegan!! There was no consumption of flesh, even by the wild animals. This may be why the lion and the lamb could hang together without one becoming a snack.
On day 6 God created mankind, but did not detail Adam and Eve until chapter 2. Why was this. Also, where did Cain and Abel get their wives? These are big questions that are difficult to explain. Many believe that Cain married his sister while others believe they were there with them. I tend to fall on the side that humankind was created, and that Adam and Eve were created to head the “Chosen People”. So where most believe Adam and Eve are the head of ALL mankind, one might suggest that they are just the head of the Jewish people through which the Messiah was to come.
Verse 3:12 is the start of the blame game:
It was she! The woman You gave me as a companion put the fruit in my hands, and I ate it.
And then it continues where no one can take responsibility. It’s ALWAYS someone else’s fault. The last president I knew that really lived by that was Truman, who said “the buck stops here” when it came to responsibility. I wish the most recent bunch of occupants of the White House were as honorable. I think the most IMPORTANT thing to take from these chapters is this lesson! When you mess up, take responsibility and your punishment will be less. 1 John 1:9 gives us the ability to “own it” and confess to God. Continue to do this to hold your salvation true.
