I am a new believer in Christ. I have started a daily Bible reading and it started me in Genesis and Matthew. In reading in Genesis I have some questions.
Here is my first question:
Genesis Chapter one talks about God creating man, he created them both male and female and he told them be fruitful and multiply. It also talks about God creating the animals. Then in Chapter 2, it talks about the creation of Adam and Eve. Is this two separate creations, or is it the same creation?
Careful of the godless ones around, they seem to outnumber believers by a very wide margin, PM me if you would like a few links to some sites that will take you question a lot more seriously than this place ever will. The above poster is one of the milder antichrists you will find here.
These are very interesting perspectives, but they bring up more questions than they answer. I am not so sure that God in Genesis 1 and The Lord God in Genesis 2 are two different beings, but rest assured that I will research this.
MHz, I do not know how to pm some one here. I would like any links that can help me answer this question and all others that I have. Any thing you can provide will benefit me.

two separate creations ?

Ah ha! And you dare deny Eris? What better evidence could there be for the goddess of discord than increasing discord? Praise Eris! We have all been witness to the goddess's hand at work in the mind of Flurple! We are most fortunate today!
God made woman (as a helper and companion for man) out of one of his ribs.
They were 2 distinct creations, male and female.
IMO - Some people should go back to acting school and/or get a life, whichever is faster.
Do you actually believe that?
Yes I do. Why do you ask?
Because it's pretty nutty. Not everything in the bible is mean to be interpreted literally.
MHz, I could not find it. I will check at a later date for it. In the mean time can you post the links here?
I can appreciate your opinion and will not judge you or call your belief system "nutty". We can simply agree to disagree. I do, however wonder about the divorce rate today as it relates directly to what I just shared. If women could see how important it is to team up with their partners, perhaps the rate would drop. Your thoughts?
God made women to be a helper? Give me a break, this is the stuff of those
promise keepers of the washed in the blood crowd. God made two sexes so
they could nurture children and prepare them for adulthood It would and should
be God made women as full partners otherwise the whole structure of society
would fail.
It should be remembered that Mary the girlfriend of Christ was not made a
prostitute until the 12Th century under Pope Gregory, as he was hell bent on curbing
the powers of women in society.
As for the experiment if it was Gods invention the man woman thing it failed because
men abused their power and women spoke up and decided to demand their same
rights in society that are afforded all citizens and that is a good thing.
Marriage as an institution is failing because teh nuclear family is un-natural. We have always been tribal beings living in extended families, but the nuclear family only came into existence after the industrial revolution. The stress of daily life when there are only two (or one) to raise a family is too much for the human emotional system to cope with. Of course, that is a generalization and some do somehow manage to survive the process and make it work, but I'm sure you would find that the majority of divorces happen after the nest is empty.
1. Jesus named her a prostitute long before Pope Gregory was even conceived.
2. God does not need to experiment, He knows all things.
3. The bible is to be interpreted literally (factually), historically and culturally. Finally and most importantly IMO; spiritually or as a whole message.
4. The message? We are all sinners by nature and need to be reconciled with God. Look at the very first murder for example; Cain slew Abel because of jealousy. God approved Abel's "blood" sacrifice and rejected Cain's vegetables. Isaac and Ishmael represent 2 brothers, one of promise and of sin (disbelief). Throughout the bible (old testament included) we see how quickly we turn to sin (while Moses was on the mount, etc.) and how God ordained the opposite. The Jews know that they are sinners and atone yearly with a sacrifice lamb. To this day, Isaac (Israel) and Ishmael (Arab nations) are at war with one another. Keep your eye on Israel and you will see that the end is near. Repent before it's too late!
