@judygodwin8886 It sounds like you have some conflicting views about scripture. You’re bringing up a lot of arguments here and going in several different directions to make your point about ways you question scripture. I’ll just respond to a couple: In some areas where Jesus talks about a tree as an analogy, for example, when he describes being the vine and the followers being the branches, it’s really clear that it’s an analogy. Genesis is a little different. Even if parts of Genesis are analogy, they are meant to be an analogy about specific and tangible things. Like when it says in Genesis 1:14, about the lights in the expanse of the sky to separate day and night, it is directly referring to the sun, moon, and stars. And in Genesis 2:8-9, where it says that God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden, and out of the ground trees were growing, it’s using the word tree to refer to an actual tree. There were true trees that were very unique to the garden. The tree of life and the tree of good and evil. Now, these trees may represent that God provided the opportunity for man to CHOOSE to live and trust Him…or not, but they are still referring to trees. If God had not provided an opportunity for mankind to choose something other than His will then making would not know what it actually means to have the choice to trust and obey God or not. God wanted mankind to have a choice. This scripture is not making a point about about animals or the first death, but about trees and choice. God would have made the first sacrifice of animal in Genesis 3:21 to clothe Adam and Eve. Man was already a living being, as mentioned in Gen. 2:7. So the flesh of the animal was to cover his body to help him deal with the shame of being exposed. As far as your question / concern about the possibility that the tree was an animal, i’m not sure where you’re getting that from. I could not find any theologians who have ever interpreted it that way before. And as far as the choice to eat animals being a sin, Jesus, partook of fish and lamb for passover and was without sin, so there is a conflict there. Even if it was not a part of God‘s original plan for mankind to eat of animals, this became permissible. That’s my take on a few of your main original points. I’m response to your many other conflicting concerns about scripture, I encourage you to find somebody who you can process some of these things with who regularly studies scripture. We can find a lot of strange ideas online, but we want to be careful that we are not learning from people who are interpreting scripture according to personal agenda. The scriptures are several historical books joined together, and one larger body of writing. The scriptures do not tell, lies and truth, but are inspired writings. That’s not to say that scriptures do not leave us with any questions. But as we study them and take time to interpret them, we must always do that according to the original text and to their situation in time so that we might understand the original intent and historical meaning and significance of the text. Blessings to you in your endeavors to ask questions about, study, and deeply understand scripture. I have learned over many years at the most important part of my studying scripture is learning how to apply to my life day by day. ❤ By the way, to the video creator, I absolutely love these videos. I do love that you’re not necessarily trying to teach or interpret the scriptures, but you are creating these artistic displays of what is presented in the written word. Thank you for Doodling the Bible with your gifts and I hope you continue to create more of these. 👍🏻

I really appreciate your passion for God's word and really diving in and thinking deeply and studying it. I'm not a theologian or apologist, so I'm not qualified to agree or disagree with what you are generously sharing. I just encourage you to keep in the Word and asking God to illuminate His character day by day. It's a journey for each of us, and I would consider myself as just being at the early steps of the journey - certainly not a seasoned expert who has walked through every hill, mountain top, valley, and crevice. The Bible is fascinating! Yes, when I mentioned seed, I was trying to simply say that seed begets that it's designed for... fruit seed makes fruit, animal 'seed' makes animals, human 'seed' makes more humans... that's all. There are a lot of seed references in the bible that's for sure - especially surrounding the legacy of Abraham. There are some wonderful women in the Bible and I remember as study I took years ago where they mentioned that certain women were specially highlighted as being so important in the long geneaology lists where usually they were usually just the men. There are numerous books that highlight extraordinary women in the bible. I have only read one so far... Also, Kristi McClelland has a study called "Jesus and Women: In the First Century and Now" that was so interesting and beautiful how he respected the honor and righteousness of women that was new. On youtube there are creators who focus on discussing theological debates of all kinds and have open question times, apologetics etc. that could be really rewarding and fun for you to engage with too. God bless you and your loved ones this coming new year!

Welcome to this little channel! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! I really appreciate your encouragement. I'm really enjoying my quiet time with God reading and re-reading and studying line by line as I go. There for sure are confusing parts that are hard (for me) to understand and some that are also quite shocking!! LOL It's been fun investigating commentaries of theologians of the past and of today to compare. There are many nuanced different perspectives especially within the MANY different denominations too. Never boring!! I appreciate and respect your love of scripture and study of God's word. God bless you and your loved ones in this exciting new year that's upon us!

Thank you SOOOO very much Judy for watching and taking time and care to share your thoughts on Genesis 3! I agree, animal sacrifices, especially wee lambs, is extremely hard to understand and even worse to imagine. Understanding the Old Testament laws and how it relates to atonement and forgiveness is more complex than I can fully understand. A friend shared a study on the book of Leviticus that I plan on listening to (it's an audio sermon online). (Not sure if I'll be able to 'doodle' that book.... !?) Am I misunderstanding your comment/question regarding the 'tree of good and evil' in that you're pondering if the tree were actually animals not to be eaten in the garden? I'll admit I've never heard of that idea before! When I read 'tree' I have to believe that it is a tree and not a complex symbol to confuse us. I did see a video from the Bible Project that related the symbolism of this 'tree of good and evil' as representing our human will vs. God's will for us. Our thoughts/desires/will as being in conflict with God's... and thus the spiraling of humankind in horrible sin etc. When reading Get 3:3 it says in KJV "But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die." When I read 'tree' with fruit, which in Genesis 1:11 says that fruit trees yield fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself... which does not sound like an animal to me since animals don't bear seeds for fruit but bear seeds for baby animals of their own kind. I would hope that scripture wouldn't try to be so tricky and if it was an animal, it would simply have stated animal instead of tree and flesh instead of fruit. Covering Adam and Eve's shame and sin and expelling them from the garden wearing 'garments of skin' would also be a constant heavy reminder of what they had done. (Gen 3:21) Your comment about our skin being - our skin on a spiritual body becoming flesh was interesting. We are spiritual beings with a body after all, but doesn't it say that Adam was made from the dust of the ground (Gen: 2:7) and Eve was brought forth from his rib? (Gen 2:22) Still sounds odd to me and I won't claim to understand how that works. Dirt and bone would be physical matter. Could our spirit have entered Adam through God's breath into his nostrils - the "breath of life?" (Gen 2:7) I don't know... just pondering out loud. When we die... we return to the dust... but our spirit is not bound to the dirt. In Genesis 4 brothers Cain and Abel offer God a sacrifice. Abel offered the 'firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof'. And Cain brought 'fruit of the ground.' God rejected Cain's offering (was it his heart posture of the sacrifice more than 'what it was'?? I don't know! Both perhaps...?)... but that made Cain soooooo jealous and mad that he killed his own brother. Yikes! (Gen 4:8) What's really special in the verses you mentioned is how our heart and mind is relating TO the sacrifice. Is it precious to us? Is it an idol? Is it no big deal? Done with humility or pride? Done with righteousness or obligation? Is it actually for pagan deity?! Is there hypocrisy? Were sacrifices done 'to look good' and more devout than others? Like the example of a rich man offering gold coins (that wouldn't be missed so it wasn't a sacrifice) VS. the widow who was down to her very last coin (which is a huge sacrifice to her and therefore more precious in the eyes of God.) God knows were our hearts and minds are. In OT days, would it have been a more valuable sacrifice to offer an unblemished, prized innocent little lamb - the only lamb an Old Testament family might have to save all year for to raise and keep - or a lame old sheep? (PS SO glad that I was not born in that era as a Levite priest!!!!) How hard is it for us today to do a sugar or coffee fast and suppress our freshly desires? (Speaking for myself... hard!!!! LOL) Even more poignant is Abraham's obedience to sacrifice his own son Isaac, down to the knife blade last moment... for God to provide a ram caught in the thicket instead. (Gen 22:13) And of course, the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ on our behalf, to save us from our sins. A merciful gift that we can't possibly be good enough to earn or deserve. The lamb of God. No more sacrificial system needed (for Christians anyway.) It's a lot to absorb for sure and still is mind blowing to me. The reality is, there are STILL animal sacrifices happening all of the world in a multitude of various other religions and traditions. I googled. I don't recommend looking at photos! I spent multiple hours this afternoon reading scripture and thoughtfully contemplating your comments. I really appreciate you and your insights/questions, and bravery in putting your thoughts out there. Anything that causes us to stop, read, contemplate, and discuss is valuable time spent in God's word!! I'm not a theologian and would never claim to be 100% right on all things - far from it! We read, study, and engage in sermons and commentaries so that we try to understand a portion until one day we will know everything clearly and in full! YES, as you said, blessed are those with eyes to see. Thank you, you made my day taking the time to comment on my tiny little channel! May God bless you and your loved ones in the coming new year - 2025! 🥰🙏

Super interesting topic!! We're all big one family if we go back alllll the way. Answers in Genesis has an interesting video called "One Race, One Blood." We're the "human race." Maybe we'll finally realize that if it's true that we'll be facing hybridization in the future... altering the genes that God created into something - else. Rabbit trail for more research and study!! Thanks for watching and commenting! 🥰

because i dont like it // does that sounds like a good idea not to me

Oh mysterious Enoch! Enoch is mentioned in Genesis 5 in the tree from Adam > Noah! Interestingly, Cain also named his son Enoch, but it's the Enoch, son of Jared, father of Methuselah (Enoch > Methuselah > Lamech > Noah), who is attributed to writing The Book of Enoch. There is a resurgence today of people reading the apocryphal texts. Have you read Enoch's book or any of the others? If you have, what are your thoughts? I've read some of them or listened on audio book out of curiosity. They are fascinating, beautiful, and eye-opening, while a few things are like... wait, what?! I can appreciate both sides of the hot debates on their canon exclusion vs inclusion. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 🥰

Thank you so much for commenting and for watching my little doodle!! 🥰 Hmmm, that's quite the question! I'm not an academic... but my general thought is that iIntermarriages and resulting offspring would create a beautiful range of skin hues and tones throughout the whole region (both back then, and today.) Abraham, and many others including the infamous King Solomon had "many" wives from all over lands near and far creating lots of babies with different colorations of eyes, skin, and hair etc. It's interesting to read articles about some populations in Northern Africa and Middle East (India too) having blue eyes and lighter skin than surrounding populations in those regions with darker features. The descendants of Abraham are all over the world today and there are different ethnic groups and subgroups, each with their own unique DNA combinations over thousands of years. This would be a fascinating topic to do deep research on. You will find articles with widely differing findings as a quick search revealed serious controversy over describing Hebrew descendants as 'white.' The UA-cam channel Unpacked seemed to have a thorough investigation on this sensitive topic on the history of this label. I encourage you to follow your interest and see where the rabbit trail goes! Thanks for sharing your question, have a blessed day! 🥰

Learn some more. Europeans descend from Japheth.

There is no indication that the descendants of Shem and Ham "always" intermarry.

​@@dawnemile7499 Keen point! 'always' or 'never' would be broad terms and not be 100% that way every time... Thanks for commenting Dawn!

@@dawnemile7499 Have you ever done a DNA test? They sound super risky though these days.... but it sure is fascinating to see all the places in the world that can show up! It's fun to learn where ancestors lived and moved throughout time.

Hi Beth! Bless you and thank you!! I love the timing of your reading. I just stumbled across this passage again in a totally unrelated theology book! So fascinating. Psalm 3 is almost done too.... then back to Genesis 18... Even if only you are enjoying these... I'm VERY much loving creating them in my quiet creative time with our Lord. Yes! Chad and the gang are doing great! You might see a new furry friend in a future video of his... we rescued a community cat and we're in LOVE with her!! God knew how much pets enrich our hearts and lives. 🥰

@@DoodletheBible - I’m so excited for you and the new kitty! I have 3 - all rescues. ☺️ I’m working on getting myself more organized in my Bible study. I’ve been out of fellowship for a while and I hate that. It’s hard to find a good Bible believing and teaching church. I love my internet teachers, but miss fellowship.

@@Beth_tx79 You do?! Love that! We've had a hamster, 2 rabbits, fancy rats, Basenji's (not all at once...) but the last time I had a cat was when I was a little girl. I was heart broken when he was eaten by a coyote!! But I've always loved cats - and I think Chad is experiencing what makes cats super snuggly and fun too now. There is something special about saving a life. Community cats here don't last more than 1-2 years... hot - and dangerous out there. About fellowship - yes! It's hard sometimes to warm up to being with people again right?? We have our direct personal relationship with God and we're 'all set' - but, there is that missing component of that Body of Christ community that we do need. The sharing, serving, encouraging, receiving kindness.... all of it. There are GREAT internet teachers for sure too. Finding a solid church can be a journey. Especially today. I'll pray that you find one that is ideal for you - and hopefully close enough so that you can participate actively without a lot of traffic - and procrastination... (introvert speaking here....) ;D

Haha….one introvert to another. I will greatly appreciate your prayers. My brother lives there and he says it’s dangerous for cats - lots of critters like owls, etc. I guess you’ll have to keep kitty nearby. Cats are good pets for introverts. Lol I don’t have traffic here like you do in Phoenix unless I have to travel on the interstate during rush hour. I used to live in San Antonio…and I absolutely DO NOT miss the traffic!

@@Beth_tx79 the owls! Yes! I forgot about those... there is one that sits in the palm tree every night and I know people whose cats have been swooped upon. Traffic... ugh. Indeed! Especially in 115 degrees F. I will pray for you! You will find a beautiful authentic community where you will grow in new and unexpected ways - in God's timing.

Thank you so much Lori! It was fun and soothing to make! Do you have a favorite Psalm? 😍

Yes! Psalm 139

@@lorimchugh4153 That's a powerful one! Thank you for sharing! Maybe I'll jump ahead and do that one next instead of Psalm 2 just for you? 🥰

And... in God's providential timing, after you shared that, Psalm 139 was discussed a LOT in Sunday's service and the implication of AZ prop 139 so hotly debated today. The numbering of props is random apparently? so this is quite interesting indeed.

awww Sally! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and encourage! Means so much! 🥰

Sally, curious - do you have a favorite Psalm? I'd like to illustrate all of them eventually... Lord willing!

Finally done! This one was a challenge!🧨

🥰 Thank you so much!!

Thank you Beth!! Chapter 15 is almost ready... the 'what happened' after all these wars!!

❤😊

Wow Beth, I'm humbled and full of gratitude! Honestly, there isn't a better compliment than that. There is definitely a 'creative/imagination' facet to imagining how to illustrate these very complex chapters in our holy bible. With that, is always a concern of the 'adding or taking away' from God's Word. I can't 'know' or understand everything of course. What puzzles me, I will spend time to research what others with academic and/or theological credentials have interpreted. (And some don't always agree...) At the end of the day, my goal is to just enjoy time with God as I draw, learn more about what I'm reading, and - have some light-hearted fun (and not get bogged down with any dogmatic thinking.) Your comments remind me, that there are a handful of people out there who will enjoy these little doodles! 🥰 Hugs!

I enjoy your creative illustrations coupled with scripture. It’s like an illustrated Bible. 😊 Missed some of your art in the vertical format though, not much, but a little.

@@Beth_tx79 oh! The 'short' is just a clip from the full length chapter in it's entirety - which is live! Not sure if I can put a link in here...

@@Beth_tx79 link to chapter 14 (not sure if this works) ua-cam.com/video/t9o82506ShM/v-deo.html

@@DoodletheBible yes! Full screen! ❤️

Thank you! Yes, the number of battles, with so many different warring Kings is quite astonishing! Some historians say, that this chapter, Genesis 14, is the first 'World War' of its time. Super interesting!

Thank you Beth!!

Thank you Beth! So nice to see you again! I'm working on the next one, Genesis 13 now! They are getting increasingly challenging. 😆

Thank you! It really is quite a lot to dig into isn't it? As I'm reading and learning, more and more questions pop up! That's a neat idea to overlay them... I might have to play with that. I looked it up, Hagar was Egyptian: Gen 21:9 "9 But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking, 10 and she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman and her son, for that woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac.” and yup, looks like Ishmael married an Egyptian: Gen 21:20 "20 God was with the boy as he grew up. He lived in the desert and became an archer. 21 While he was living in the Desert of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from Egypt." I was surprised to see that the descendent of Ham "Mizraim" is the same person, and named "Egypt" in other translations. According to wikipedia "Mizraim is the Hebrew cognate of a common Semitic source word for the land now known as Egypt." Interesting, later in Genesis 28:9 Esau married one of Ishmael's daughters. "9Esau went to Ishmael and married Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth and daughter of Abraham’s son Ishmael, in addition to the wives he already had." Esau and of course Abraham, were of the line of Shem. Mizraim is the line of Ham. Lineages are mixing sure sounds like. That whole area of Shinar and the cradle of civilization between the rivers, both Abram (Abraham) (lineage of Shem) and Nimrod (lineage of Ham) were both in similar areas along the rivers traveling about at different times in history. Lots of people sure lived in that part of the world before baby Abram was born. Sure is interesting! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

another rabbit trail. Britannica says: "Before the spread of Islam in the 630s CE, the term ("Arab") referred to the largely nomadic Semitic peoples of the Arabian Peninsula. It came to apply to Arabic-speaking peoples from Africa’s Mauritanian and Moroccan coasts east to Iraq and the Arabian Peninsula and south to Sudan after their acceptance of Islam. Traditionally, some Arabs are desert-dwelling pastoral nomads (see Bedouin), whereas others live by oases and in small, isolated farming villages."

@@DoodletheBible I noticed that you stated "Arabic Speaking Language" but the lineage is a mixture of Semitic/Hamitic. That's the Holy Scripture!! Language is after the people were born. So when did a language represent people

@@patpatches9274 That was a quote from the Encyclopedia Britannica. Not sure I understand your question... and if I did, I'm not a historical linguistic expert and would undoubtedly botch the whole attempt. I did spend an hour trying to research and found a lot of information regarding 'Semitic/Hamitic' language history and found one source that stated that the terms 'Hamito-Semetic and Semito-Hamitic' is out of favor and instead some use the term 'afro-asiatic/Afroasiatic' languages.There was a chart that showed the branches of "Afroasiatic" languages include: Berber (Tuareg, Numidian), Chadic (Hausa), Cushitic (Oromo, Somali), Egyptian, Semitic (Syriac, Amharic, Akkadian, and Phoenician), Omotic (Wolaitta). The website Babbel (great name for a language education company) said this of semetic languages: "The Semitic language family consists of dozens of distinct languages and modern day dialects, but the major Semitic languages are Arabic, Amharic (spoken in Ethiopia), Tigrinya (spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea), Hebrew, Tigre (spoken in Sudan), Aramaic (spoken in Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Iraq and Iran) and Maltese." Like anything, there's a lot of debate from academics all over the world about everything. Maybe you can contact a linguistic expert? Please share what you find out with us!

@DoodletheBible I'm very impressed with your honest attempt to present your insights on the Holy Scriptures as you learn from your research. At least you don't have an agenda or narrative to present The Scriptures to confirm a European/White supremacy perspective. Thanks for validation of Ham/Shem development as a people in the Scriptures and how the plan of salvation came through them.

🤣Right? Honestly, I 'had' to choose KJV simply for copyright reasons. ESV is 'owned' - as are all the other translations. There are maybe 2 other ones that are public domain. I've actually found that reading KJV aloud is challenging!! Because of the sentence structure. On relistening I have found I automatically filled in transition words in our modern day tongue for a smooth sentence... and then had to edit it and fix it back! Plus, multiple takes... as my tongue stumbles!! Also - the neat thing is I 'have' to also read other translations sometimes to compare and get a better understanding of what's what. In the Genesis 10 video, I literally had to figure out - which names are people VS places! (Because many are 'shared'... ie namesakes of a place, was also a person. Super confusing!!!! I'm hoping that our KJV-only brothers and sisters will find and enjoy these too. I love music so much, it's been fun trying to pair the right feeling music to the chapter's theme. Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. I love reading them!! SO appreciative that you're here!!! 🥰 🙏

Genesis 8, 9, and 10 describes that all of mankind died during the Flood - except... those who were on the ark. Noah, his wife, his sons, and their wives. When the flood waters fully dried up, they left the ark and then I guess got busy procreating and spreading through the world. ;D Now, there is a lot of controversy regarding 'how' the nephilim were still around in the land - after the flood... when the flood was to get rid of all corruption. I don't have an answer for any of that, but makes me want to keep reading the bible and studying, that's for sure. Not a boring story! Have a blessed day!

There are some bible chapters that are hard to read! I have the same challenge, but now I've started this, going to keep having fun researching and trying to learn more. I'm so happy to hear that these are bringing them to life for you! Your encouragement makes me want to keep going. Even to the 'everyone gets circumcised' chapter coming up soon!!! Oh my... 😱😁

Hi Beth! Blushing, thank you!!! Actually, the most fun was making the fire for the bricks! Also, the 'let us, make us...' really drove home the idea of pride involvement - all about 'us/me'. I didn't even think about the pyra and fire... until I was typing the comment above. I couldn't remember what the South American pyramids called, I thought they had a different name but it's escaping my memory right now. Than I thought about the Egyptians worshipping the Sun god, how the bricks were fired... and then how there are some references to 'fire' and angels, firey serpents and such. Would be fun to research further. Nothing is an accident. Word history like Babel to 'babble', babbling, mumbling, not understanding - all tied together too. Thank you for watching Beth! And for taking the time to comment!

@@DoodletheBible the richness and many layers to scripture is truly amazing.

@@Beth_tx79 absolutely!!! Layer upon layer - threads and rabbit trails... NEVER boring. As the late Dr. Michael Heiser used to say "I dare you not to bore me with the bible."

We should go together! ua-cam.com/video/ghQKoBUEhA0/v-deo.htmlsi=HD0gvDlB-evnuSx3 I might do some research of various opinions of 'how' the nephilim could have continued after the flood... if they were wiped out?!
