I love the way you teach. I don't always comment, but always learn and often you confirm by the scriptures things that I'm studying also. Thank you 😊 Darkness to light... great analogy.
I appreciate your encouragement on reading the bible, even if you dont post everyday it still gets the message out and shares what you interpret from the text, prasie be to God and God bless you .
Once you learn about Covenant Creationism, then Full Preterism (Fulfilled Eschatology) is complete. The end is like the beginning-they are bookends. Neither is about physical creations and everything becomes completely consistent. Trying to wedge a physical creation into the "Beginning" will always create problems. Christians need to think in ANE terms for understanding creation stories.
@@fullpreteristnow I definitely see a lot of covenantal significance in the Genesis story, but I don’t believe that necessarily precludes a physical creation aspect as well🙏❤️. But I don’t claim to be an expert on the topic.🤪
I believe you are very right in the aspect of their deaths,it was a spiritual one. Been listening to you for awhile now. Really enjoy your talks and they have offered me some new insights from time to time. Keep it up.
“Who made the bang bang?” I love that 😅 On the topic of “eating the fruit”, I agree it was way more than just snacking on an apple. I believe it opened them up to sensuality, things of the flesh….ch 3 v 6: “So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food (lust of the flesh), and that it was a delight to the eyes (lust of the eyes), and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise (pride of life), she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened (shame of what they had just done)…” My husband and I recently had a conversation about this “original sin”, what exactly was it? Doubt. They doubted what Father had told them, believed the lie, and disobeyed. As always, I appreciate your videos! -from a fellow heretic chick 😁
Genesis 2 is really an interesting tale. You brought up that some people discuss it like two creation accounts, you see it as adding further detail. I lean where you lean. It's adding further detail. I see it this way purely based on what is written right in the chapter itself: Genesis 2:4-5 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. For the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground; If we pay attention to that verse to note _when_ this story in Genesis 2 begins, we should get the idea that this is Day 3. So, it's like Genesis 1 gave us the rundown of the order of events. Now, Genesis 2 which begins with the day of rest (Day 7), then does a "flashback" to Day 3 to deepen the story. Why do I say it is Day 3? Because of the timing stated: before plant/before herb. In Genesis 1 we are told which Day those appear. Genesis 1:12-13 And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were _the third day_ . Adam was formed from the "dust of the ground." Day 3 is also when God cause the _dry land_ to appear. Dust of the ground and dry land are very similar concepts. I don't believe it is a stretch to note that. So, just after the dry land appears, but just before the grass and herbs are brought forth, Adam is formed. That would make Adam a _different_ man than the man of Day 6. I believe this is supported in Paul's writings: 1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. It is for this reason that I see the man made in the image and likeness of God, declared on Day 6, is Jesus Christ. He is the One written to have dominion. Numbers 24: 19 Out of Jacob _One shall have dominion_ , And destroy the remains of the city.” Because of what I see being spelled out in Genesis 2 about Adam being a man formed on Day 3 instead of the man mentioned on Day 6, I am coming to realize that church taught many misconceptions about Adam. Such misconceptions are akin to bearing false witness against him! :)
I had this thought earlier tonight that a compass is a perfect metaphor for the Bible. Like a compass, the Bible aligns with a force that we cannot see, feel, or touch, and it indicates the right direction to go. In the same way that you need to learn how to use a compass and set its declination based on the location you are in, you need to study and interpret the Bible, understanding its teachings in the context of your life as well as the historical context in which it was originally written. Also your connection between the old covenant and the loin cloths was 🔥 . It really resonates with this feeling I get when I am reading (slogging) through the descriptions of the tabernacle specifications. God’s like, “alright, you people really want a hyper-detailed physical temple, and I’ll work with that for now, but wait until you see what I intend to do with this.”
@@lscanlon9908 wow! Great comparison with the compass, although I must confess that I would have no idea how to set a Compass so I would just wander around lost🤪🙏❤️
As for you talking about there being a ton of imagery in the story of the garden...I wouldn't hang up on you! I see so much symbolism in it and all that symbolism lines up with Paul's writing to the Romans. There are other bits from some of his other writings that help explain the symbols, but Romans had several that I just couldn't "unsee" once I saw them.
"And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it . . ." (Genesis 2:2-3).
Are we living that day now? The Great Day Of God Almighty: Ezekiel 39 8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God; this is the day whereof I have spoken. Revelation 16 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Hi there Heretic Chick. My name is Lee Alan and I've been listening to your videos for a while. I really enjoy them. I think it is a beautiful thing to see someone actually learning and growing daily as it should be. I agree with everything that you have put out there so far. Since you asked for opinions on the first four chapters of Genesis, I'd like to put a few thoughts down for you to look at concerning the first two chapters; the creation and the formation of all things.
First, thank you. Your channel is one of the most interesting channels I have run across in a very long time. I don't believe evolution can be proven as scientific fact, either. I do believe selective breeding can enhance certain traits as in horse breeding and dog breeding. But they are still dogs and horses. If they are left alone they will probably go back to whatever they were before being breed for certain traits. Muts are created by a divine force, aka, God. I'm going to check out, 'Icons of Evolution'.
"In His image"- This is something that differentiated man from all other creation. I agree with a number of other scholars who see this as a reference to the spirit (though some conflate that with soul). There is no reference to God breathing life into the animals. Yet he did breathe his spirit into man. He also tells us later that the spirit of man returns to God at death, but an animals' returns to the ground. The nature of our spirit also separates us from the more immortal angels.
"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear" (Hebrews 11:3, KJV).
Chick, sorry to disappoint you. Not gonna burn you at the stake for that one. 🙂 It was actually pretty mild. I could have spent that much time just on the first half of the first chapter. I wasn't really expecting 11 minutes on evolution though. I'll comment on some other specific concepts separately.
I think that to call on the Name of the Lord has a correlation with Romans 10:13. I think the line of Seth was godly and asked for salvation. By the way, we have lots of Amish here in Western NY. They don't seem to have the problem with deafness. What is your area?
The three times God uses the word "bara" to create, is in Gen. 1:1, Gen. 1:20-25, and in Gen. 1:27. In Gen. 1:1, God created the physical things in it's atomic form. In Gen. 1:20-25, God creates the soul-life, the living creatures, and in Gen. 1:27, God creates mankind as spirit, or spirit-life, after His own image. Therefore, God created the physical things including physical bodies, or physical-life, soul-life, and spirit-life which He calls Adam. Gen. 5:2.
@kristinbingamon568 In answer to the difference between spirit and soul: The soul is the inner man which is the seat of our thoughts, emotions, and desires. The spirit is what man is. He was created in God's image. Since God is Spirit and has no physical image, mankind was created as spirit, in God's own image. However, in the formation of man in Gen. chapter 2, God forms him with soul, and body to live in the physical world. Through his spirit, he can understand spiritual things if he has God's Spirit by faith dwelling in him.
Here is a thought for y'all about light. We know in verse 1 God created the heavens and the earth. In verse two, the earth already existed. That suggests verse one was NOT a summary statement. So when God created the "heavens", and in verse 4 we find the firmament already existing, what did he create? There is really only two logical ways to go. 1. God created the earth before everything else in the universe. When he says heaven and firmament it simply meant the area above the earth. 2. God created the whole universe in verse one, including the sun, moon, stars, planets and everything, and in the following verses he began to give them order. You think, but what about verses 14-19 where he made the sun, moon and stars? Did he? He said "lights in the firmament of the heaven". Consider this possibility. Earth, as created in verse one without form and void, was a primordial mess. The next verses about separating the waters above and below suggests the seas and the clouds did not exist the way we know them in this primordial mess. Now consider the sun, moon and stars, as would be seen from earth in a primordial mess through a vast vaporous obscurity. There would be light in the day, and darkness at night, but you would never actually see the sun, or moon, or stars. It would be worse than looking for the sun on a totally heavily overcast day. You cannot see the sun, but you know it is day. But as God proceeded to bring order, on the 4th day after he has provided vegetation which interacts with the biosphere, NOW he has the atmosphere set more like what we are familiar with, and for the first time you can actually seen the sun, and moon, and stars. I find #2 to be more plausible and create less problems in the text than #1.
They did NOT die that day. I am glad you immediately saw how fragile that makes the whole Preterist argument in the Olivet Discourse. But if it makes you feel any better, at least one Hebrew scholar translates it in Genesis that in that day "dying you shall die" BTW, the hiding in the Olivet Discourse was fleeing the armies of Titus, not hiding from God.
I believe being made in God’s image means body, spirit, soul. Since Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and God the Father were all present before creation, I think it also explains the use of “our image”. Scripture is clear about the us having those three things, so if Jesus is the body and the Father is the soul then we are in the image of God.
@@jarrodzimmer that makes sense. But then I always have trouble understanding the difference between the soul and the spirit. Can you help me with that?😂🤪🙏❤️
In chapter 1 of Genesis, God uses the word create only three times. The Hebrew word "bara" means to bring forth out of nothing. It is a different word then that of to form, in Hebrew, it is "asah," to form or fashion. Chapter one describes the Creation account, and chapter two describes God's forming of what He created in chapter one.
The bible translators should have left Gen 1:1 to say "Elohim" rather than "God". Then later in Gen. 2:4 we have Yahweh (YHVH) introducing Himself, and the translators proceeded to call Him "Lord" or "Lord God". Thus in the minds of readers, it is natural to think that "it's all just God" which preserves the doctrine of monotheism. I don't think this is correct, and results from intentional biases which were (probably) forced upon the translators. We know that there is a distinction here, because e.g. Elohim warned Noah that Yahweh was getting ready to flood the earth. Elohim is actually a PLURAL noun so this idea gets even more complex. BINGO you're onto something with "in the day that you eat it you will die". I prefer to keep the simple meaning of the words "day" and "death". Adam eventually died because Yahweh guarded the tree of life from the two of them. There is a restoration of the tree of life at the end of Revelation (for all mankind I think), thus they will live forever (a conditional immortality which requires the tree of life). The gnostic version of the garden scene has the serpent being Christ (it never says the serpent was Satan). So the serpent told Eve that Yahweh had essentially lied to them, and that once they ate the tree of knowledge, then they will be more like the gods. Yahweh admitted that he'd lied about this in Gen. 3:22 (Behold the man and woman have become like us, having knowledge of good & evil), and of course they did not die that day. I certainly do not embrace everything under the umbrella term gnosticism, but see for yourself if this is true. We may also have a hint for this in John 3:14 (Jesus compares HImself to the brass serpent). "And mankind began to call upon the name of the Lord" Some people think that an alternate meaning of "call" is "curse". Perhaps they began to curse the Lord (for their lives being so hard I suppose), but this is speculation until I can study it further.
A friend of mine just mentioned light and solids and as for God say let us make man in our image, doesn't that sound like theres a plurality to that statement as there may have been God and his Only son at that moment?
@@petethesquatchie I didn’t even throw in the fact that God established and everlasting covenant with a Son sacrifice of Isaac, clearly God was testing Abraham’s Trust and Obedience and knew it was an absolute heart wrenching thought to sacrifice his own Son. However Abraham was going to do it full fledge and was stopped from actually committing the act itself but committed in his heart and God prevented. Praise God! Now factor in that God kept his promise by sending his very own Son to attest his love for Man (Abraham Covenant) it’s a full story in my eyes and praying to God before scripture reading or guidance is amazing! I highly encourage folks to do that and sometimes when reading online and pop out scriptures show or while on FB wall posts etc. tv ads where you see Bible scriptures shared I would strongly suggest reading those directly maybe even entire chapter for God may be teaching you and leading you one by one to those exact verses for clear instruction/wisdom. This is very similar to how God offered Solomon any request he would like and Solomon asked for wisdom. Hope it helps oh and also fasting to include a very strict water only fast is incredibly beneficial when seeking Gods word and Bible reading /deep meditation and prayer. I have also heard it helps to battle demonic possessions and casting them out. God bless you.
In Genesis chapter two, God forms what He has already created in Chapter one, but, in a different order. In chapter 1, He created physical-life, soul-life, and spirit-life after His own image. In chapter 2, He forms the living creatures, that is soul-life with physical bodies, and mankind, that is spirit-life, with, not only physical bodies, but also with soul-life; thoughts, emotions and desires, but, mankind is the only spirit-life that God creates. Man or mankind is spirit, soul, and body. Animals are souls and bodies, and plant-life is only physical-life. Each creative act builds upon the last. Hope this might help!
@@reneesuter7884 my Bible is ESV but I wouldn’t say that would be my favorite version. It’s just what I have. My husband has NASV and he really likes that. I don’t know that there’s one perfect version. I compare a lot with the literal version and the Greek interlinear.🙏❤️
The covering of fig leaves pointed to Israel, the fig tree, The religion of Judaism was the unbelieving Nation's way of providing their own righteousness, ignoring their Messiah's sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin which was promised to Adam in Gen. 3:15.
You asked, "How did they die that day?" That's a great question! The Bible tells us how they died that day, where Paul explains: Romans 7:9 I was alive once without the law, but _when the commandment came, sin revived and I died_ . Adam was given a commandment: Genesis 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” So, if Paul died when the commandment came, likewise Adam died when the commandment came...and in Adam's place sin revived. I believe the serpent is the symbol for sin. And I think other text in Romans 7 supports that, but this reply is already going to be long enough, so I'll stop here. :) I believe using the Bible to explain other parts of the Bible is important. It keeps us from coming up with our own answers for the questions we have. The questions are good! We should have many questions. But then we should search the rest of the Bible for the answers to them, coupled with prayer, asking God to point us to the truth. Here is why I think it is acceptable to compare Adam's condition with what Paul describes in Romans 7: John 8:34 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, _whoever commits sin is a slave of sin_ . Did Adam commit sin? Yes, as stated in Romans 5:14. If we believe the words Jesus spoke, then we are to accept that Adam was a slave of sin...just like the rest of us.
God's provided sacrifice for the remission of sin pointed to Jesus the seed of Gen. 3:15 for the total forgiveness of sin. Cain and Abel made their own choice, through their conscience, the knowledge of good and evil. Cain's offering was rejected because it wasn't a blood sacrifice that God had shown Adam. Abel's sacrifice was of animal blood, for the remission of sin.
@@LeeRomero-qt4hj I have wondered about that. That could be the case, but I find it interesting that God says that Abel brought the best of his offering, but it doesn’t say that about Cain. But either way, pointing forward to Christ, typologically, the blood sacrifice was definitely needed.
For someone who reads at a 6th grade level... if they read the Old Testament for 30 minutes a day and the New Testament 15 minutes a day, at the end of a year they would have read the Old Testament 2.7 times and the New Testament 4.7 times. I know 45 minutes sounds like a long time but if you're honest... compare 45min with the smount if time you spend on entertainment. Oops, did I say that outloud.
@kristinbingamon568 Don't beat yourself up over it. Shame doesn’t do much good. Realization that puts things into perspective instigates growth. That's maturing in the faith, and hopefully, all of us who seek God in Spirit and Truth will never stop maturing. At least, that's how I see it, but it's worth all of My2Cents. Lol
The death of the male was spiritual separation from God, spiritual death. Eve was formed from the male and the two were of one flesh. Eve was not commanded not to eat and nothing happened to her when she did eat. However, when she gave the fruit to her husband, then, both of their eyes were opened. Eve did not sin because she ate. Where there is no law there is no transgression. Her transgression came when she gave to her husband the fruit that he had obviously told her he was not to eat of. That was the transgression. Together, sin came by the woman, and death (spiritual) came by the male, together, sin and death came through Adam; male and female.
Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning" of time, John 1:1 "In the beginning" of Jesus ministry, John is witness to the Messiah not Creation. The controversies start there.
Day, one is light John baptized in water John pointing to the light Jesus Christ second day a new creation comes out of the water. Jesus comes out of the water as a new creation we come out of the water as a new creation day three vegetation, the Gospels fruit. I could go on and on, but you should do it for yourself. It’s pretty awesome. The gospel first John even ask all go right along with creation.
@kristinbingamon568 Because Jesus was either a man who was ordained as a rabbi to reveal God in his image, or that Jesus was there in person of God creating everything, and I happen to think John is witness to the Messiah born of a woman under the law. I was adding to your point that everything you said was argued about strongly. By the way I also believe Adam brought on himself carnal death, from the day he disobeyed God he was condemned to die, as is the nature of sin being judicial condemnation only retrievable by repentance as Exekiel 33:11-16.
A worthy endeavor sister, with perseverance it can be done in 12 months. 8 after a couple times! A friend said to me once that if this IS 'all knowing infinite eternal wisdom' that put this together then the most basic, low IQ folks that put their mind to it, should be able to understand it! Where did that "Sabbath" go btw? Some know it's still there. There has been all along! That 'mark' on Cain was simply that there would be those who tried to do good, and those who hated them for it, till this was over. Wait till ch. 6 because we are going to shred those 'nephilim' knuckleheads because I am tired of lies being spread around as fact!
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the Lord, do all these things. God did not create the 'light'. God forms the Light because God is light. It was the darkness that had to be created because darkness was not existing in the eternal realm, nor is darkness an eternal attribute of God. God who is eternal Light 'formed' His Light on the earth in that sense that God manifested His truth and life in the world. John 1 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
@@ophiuchus9071 I understand your point and I agree. But it does say, “and God said “let there be light “and there was light”. So in some sense, it seems to be implying that there wasn’t light and then there was. Or am I mistaken? When the Bible talks about God being light or Jesus being the light of the world, I don’t think it’s really talking about physical light that we observe with our physical eyes. But that physical light that we observe with our physical eyes does exist and did come from somewhere.🙏❤️
@@kristinbingamon568 The way I understand is that God is Light and by God coming into the world as Jesus Christ in John 1 that is how light was manifested when God said 'let there be light' in Genesis 1. I understand that John's beginning the same as Genesis beginning The darkness and light in John's beginning are the same light and darkness as in Genesis beginning. I would also say that the first covenant of law was a form of God's light. Proverbs 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life, Isaiah 51:4 “Listen to Me, My people; And give ear to Me, O My nation: For law will proceed from Me, And I will make My justice rest As a light of the peoples. So 'light' was manifested first in Genesis 1 in the form of the law, and then the light of Christ came when man was being made into God's image by HIs Spirit I am suggesting that the lesser light is pointing to the law of Moses and the greater light is pointing to Christ. Genesis 1 16 Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. and I believe Paul is also making reference to this in 1 Thessalonians 5:5 You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
Revelation 21:23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. Revelation 22:5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.
In answer to your asking about Seth; why does Genesis say that men, after Seth was born, men began to call on the name of the LORD? In answer, I would suggest that through the fall, all men born through Adam had freewill, a choice to choose between good or evil. They had acquired freewill through knowing what was right and what was wrong. After the fall, Abel chose to believe God through performing the animal blood sacrifice, and Cain chose not to and rather provided a sacrifice of his own choosing, without blood. Cain killed Abel, who was righteous because he obeyed the correct sacrifice. After Abel died, only Cain remained. The earth was being populated with Cain's unbelieving seed. Unbeliever's who did not perform the sacrifice. When God gives Eve another child in place of Abel, Seth also believed and performed the correct sacrifice. Through Seth, men began to perform the animal blood sacrifice for the remission of sin that pointed to Christ. Therefore, believing, his seed began to call on the name of the LORD. In Genesis chapter six, Cain's unbelieving seed are the sons and daughters of men, and Seth's believing seed are the sons of God, believer's.
@kristinbingamon568 Adam did offer the sacrifice, but at this point, he had only two offspring, one righteous, and one unrighteous. The unrighteous killed the rightwous, so there were no others until God gave Eve their third offspring, Seth, who began to call on the name of te LORD. All Cain's descendants were called the sons and daughters of men, unbelievers. Seth's seed were called the sons of God, the believers.
It was after these three offspring that Scripture tells us that Adam had other children, afterwards. Some believed, some didn't. Obeying God with the sacrifice for the remission of sin is what made them justified, or, righteous. After Abel was killed, only Cain and his unbelieving seed multiplied until Seth was born.
@@LeeRomero-qt4hj I get what you are saying!🙏❤️. Yes I think that is a good explanation….calling on the Lord meant offering proper sacrifices which Seth did.👍. Thank you!🙏❤️
"knowledge of good and evil" in Deut 1. All it is saying there is the children were two young to be complicit in the sin of their parents. I see no value in reflecting that back to Gen 1-4.
In Genesis 1:26-27 when God says 26 And Elohim spoke: We make Adam in Our image, according (to) Our likeness. And they (will) (hol)d sway \in/among (the) fish (of) the sea, and \in/among (the) fluttering (of) the heavens, and \in/among (the) animal(s), and (with)in all the earthland, and \in/among all the roaming (creature), \the/that (is) roaming on the earthland. 27 And Elohim created ` \the/ Adam in His image; in (the) image (of) (the) elohim He created him; male and female He created them." This is covenantal creation. Adam was not the first human ever created, he was the first ever to be created in covenant with God. This is why he is placed IN the garden after being created IN the dust. When God removes Adam and Eve from the garden, they are cursed to be below even the serpent who was cursed to be below all the beasts of the field - I.E. Adam lost the "sway" he was to hold over them. This is also a trinity-supporting verse because the "Our" and "We" here is covenantal recognition of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I have a few videos where I go in-depth on how amazingly typological Genesis 1-3 is to the coming of Christ in AD 70.

I have a few videos where I go in-depth on how amazingly typological Genesis 1-3 is to the coming of Christ in AD 70. end quote as I can understand, only Genesis 1 is speaking prophetically about a covenant creation. Genesis 2 is when Adam and Eve were created, and Genesis 2 took place 2500 years before the heavens and earth were created in Genesis 1. I agree the US and the OUR in Genesis 1:26 is referring to Father Son and Holy Spirit because man did not have the image of God in him until after he receives the HS. The HS in man is God's image in man. The work of the Father and Son and Holy Spirit (US and OUR) needed to be completed first before man could be in God's image. And the Son and the HS did not arrive and complete their work until that 1st century with Christ. John 1's beginning is a parallel to Genesis 1 beginning, they are both referring to the same beginning. The 'darkness' is spiritual darkness in both John 1 and Genesis 1, and the darkness came through Adam's transgression. The darkness and sin on the earth did not get here before Adam and Eve transgressed, therefore Genesis 1 is written long after Adam and Eve manifested the darkness on the earth. God did not make man in His image for the purpose of being a type of idol of God, but God put Himself in man and man having God in him is what qualifies man as being in God's image. God is Spirit. The heavens and earth in Genesis 1 is referring to the old covenant of Moses. The new covenant is prophesied in Genesis 1:26 when God is dwelling in man. In fact only those who have God dwelling in them are actually in the new covenant, and those who do not have God in them are not in the covenant with God. 2 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.”
GREAT Video!! I don't know if my last comment got deleted for some reason but I've made many videos of Sciencey stuff I think the G.O.D. has been showing me. Hopefully it helps! Playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PL3fUcFJQvv1Kf39hvl1FysZa7uxfKd6FI.html
what does it mean to be made in the image of God? Well I would say that God was not making little idols of Himself but was manifesting the image of Himself, in the sense that God Himself was in men, and by God dwelling in man that qualified man as being in God's image Colossians 1:15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. The Son was not a created idol of God, but was God Himself dwelling in the Son, and because God was in the Son, then that qualified the Son to be the image of God. Men who are born of the HS have God come to dwell in them and having God Himself dwelling in a man is what qualifies a man to be in the image of God. The image of God is God Himself. 1 Cor 15 45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. 48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man. The process of bringing mankind into God's image began with Adam and Eve and culminated in Christ. Isaiah 66:8 Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children. The children of God are the 'male and female' in Genesis 1:26, who have been made into image of God.
Genesis 2 2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. God did not rest from His labours when Adam and Eve were created. God's work of making man into His image was just beginning with Adam and Eve John 5:17 17 In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.” God's Sabbath rest came after Christ finished His work and the HS finished His work. that is why God is used in a plural form in Genesis 1:26 Let US (Father Son and Holy Spirit) make man in our image. Man did not come to be in the image of God without the work of the Son and the HS being completed. Hebrews 4 3 Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, It is through faith in Christ that the eternal '7th day' of God's Sabbath rest is manifested to mankind and when God completes His work of bringing man into His image.
Very good explanation thank you❤️🙏. So let me ask this and forgive me if I’m misunderstanding or if this is a dumb question, so did Adam cease to be in the image of god after he sinned and then no one was again until Christ?
@@kristinbingamon568 My understanding is that Adam was only spoken as being in the image of God, in the sense that God was calling what did not yet exist as though it did exist. When God said that Adam was in His image, God was speaking of His ultimate purpose for mankind as coming into the image of God. Just as God spoke in this same manner with Abraham. Romans 4:17 As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed-the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not. God called Abraham as who Abraham would become and not who Abraham was at that moment in time, which was childless. God called Adam in His image because Adam(humankind) was intended for that purpose and would eventually become in God's image through Christ In reality no man was ever in the image of God until Christ. 1 Cor 15 47 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. 48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man. Adam was made in the image of the earthly man, Jesus was in the image of the heavenly man. Colossians 1:15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. Colossians 1:15 could never be said of the first man Adam as it is said of Jesus Genesis 5 3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. Seth was in Adam's image and likeness not in God's image and likeness, so it cannot be said that Adam was in the likeness and image of God, if Seth was in Adam's image
@@kristinbingamon568 if this is a dumb question, so did Adam cease to be in the image of god after he sinned and then no one was again until Christ? end quote here is something to consider that I found to be interesting concerning the creation of Genesis 1 and the creation of Adam and Eve in Genesis 2. quote 1. The first account shows a perfect order, system and method, of which the second account is entirely destitute. In the first account the time is divided up into regular intervals. "The evening and the morning were the first day." "The evening and the morning were the second day," and so on. Here also the work of creation is systematically arranged and graded; it moves on majestically from the lowest forms of being to man, the image of the Creator. There is nothing of this kind in the second account. There is no order or system here, but rather a sort of an off hand mingling of all the events together in one short narrative. 2. According to the first account the work of creation occupied six "days"; whether the day be days of twenty-four hours, or days of a thousand years, or vast geological periods, we need not now stop to discuss; it is enough for our present purpose simply to notice that the periods are each called a "day." According to the second account the whole work of creation seems to have occupied only one day. See verse 4. "In the day that the Lord God made the earth, and the heavens, and every plant," etc. 3. The six days of the first account are followed by a seventh day of rest. No rest day is spoken of in the second account. 4. In the first account everything that God makes is pronounced "good"; and at last when His creative work is crowned with man in His own image, all is stamped with the divine seal as "very good." Nothing is pronounced good in the second account. 5. In the first account two beings are spoken of as being engaged in the creation of man. "Let us make man," etc. In the second it is the Lord God alone who creates male. 6. In the first account man is created in the image and likeness of God. In the second nothing is said of his being thus created. 7. In the first account man is given dominion over all God's creation. In the second no such authority is bestowed upon him. 8. In the first account the creation of the man and the woman seems to have been simultaneous and is blended together in a very curious way, as indicated by the use of the singular and plural pronouns in verses 26 and 27. "And God said let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them [the man and woman evidently, though nothing had been said about the female] have dominion. So God created man in his own image; in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." In the second account the creation of the male and the female is very distinct and explicit; and it appears that the former came into existence sometime before the latter. 9. Thus in the first account we see the male and the female blended together as though they actually were one, although nothing is said of their being one. In the second account we see just the opposite of this; the man and the woman appear as very distinct and separate. but they are said to be one. 10. In the first account the man and the woman are commanded to "be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth and subdue it." No such command is given in the second. 11. In the first account man has full permission, without any restriction whatever, to partake of every herb and tree "upon the face of all the earth," verse 29. In the second account a restriction is placed upon him. "Of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." 12. Finally, and perhaps more significant than all the rest, in the first account everything that is done is God's work. Man has nothing to do with it. God does the whole work from the beginning until he creates man in His own image and likeness, and rests because everything "He has made" is very good. In the second account, the prohibition laid upon him, man is made a party to the work; and he spoils it all, as he always has, by his disobedience. The first account is rounded out, and perfectly completed, bright and glorious, by "everything very good," and God resting "from all His work" (2:2) . The second account runs sadly on into the devil's disastrous work, man's disobedience, and the apparent ruin of the race. When we see it thus we feel like exclaiming, O that the first account might have been the true and only one! where there is no law, no serpent, no sin, no death. But many who would thus express themselves little think that without this second account, with all its disastrous consequences, man would never have reached the perfect state, and God's work would never have been completed. It will be seen that some of the foregoing differences seem absolutely contradictory; others are perplexing; all of them are very suggestive. In the letter it would be very difficult to harmonize these differences, so as to make the Bible appear consistent and reliable. But there is a spirit to this portion of the Word as to all the rest. We are sure of this, for Paul plainly indicates it when he tells us in Rom. 5:14 that Adam was a "figure (type, same word as in margin of 1 Cor. 10:11) of him that was to come," Jesus Christ, the finished Adam. This account of the creation then is an "allegory," like that of Abraham and the promised seed. This has a spiritual meaning. What is it? What is the spirit of this portion of the word? I will tell you in my own language and then give the proof afterwards. If I err not, the key that unlocks this mystery is this:-The first account is PROPHETICAL, setting forth the work, in figure, as it was to be in the process, and as it will be in the perfect, finished result. The second account is HISTORICAL, setting forth the work as it actually was at that stage of the process. end quote
In Rom. 4:17, a very important principle in God's method is laid down; "God calleth those things which be not as though they were." God speaks of things that he determines to do as though they were done. He speaks of things in process as though completed. He speaks of things that are not as though they were.
@@mikeworsley1773 after I read your comment, it made me curious, so I googled it. Mine came up saying that 40% of Americans, believe in creation and that all the people and animals appeared suddenly at the hand of God which I guess means they deny evolution. Which I am actually really surprised to hear! another answer said 50% of Americans believe in some form of creation. So you are right!🙏❤️

4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Did it also take 1000 years for the day to be fulfilled that Adam would have his eyes opened to good and evil and be like God? no Adam's eyes were opened to good and evil instantly and in a blink of an eye 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings. They died on the same day their eyes were opened and it wasn't a physical death.

Once you learn about Covenant Creationism, then Full Preterism (Fulfilled Eschatology) is complete. The end is like the beginning-they are bookends. Neither is about physical creations and everything becomes completely consistent. Trying to wedge a physical creation into the "Beginning" will always create problems. Christians need to think in ANE terms for understanding creation stories.
@@fullpreteristnow I definitely see a lot of covenantal significance in the Genesis story, but I don’t believe that necessarily precludes a physical creation aspect as well🙏❤️. But I don’t claim to be an expert on the topic.🤪

On the topic of “eating the fruit”, I agree it was way more than just snacking on an apple. I believe it opened them up to sensuality, things of the flesh….ch 3 v 6: “So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food (lust of the flesh), and that it was a delight to the eyes (lust of the eyes), and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise (pride of life), she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened (shame of what they had just done)…”
My husband and I recently had a conversation about this “original sin”, what exactly was it? Doubt. They doubted what Father had told them, believed the lie, and disobeyed.
As always, I appreciate your videos!

Genesis 2 is really an interesting tale. You brought up that some people discuss it like two creation accounts, you see it as adding further detail. I lean where you lean. It's adding further detail. I see it this way purely based on what is written right in the chapter itself:
Genesis 2:4-5
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. For the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;
If we pay attention to that verse to note _when_ this story in Genesis 2 begins, we should get the idea that this is Day 3. So, it's like Genesis 1 gave us the rundown of the order of events. Now, Genesis 2 which begins with the day of rest (Day 7), then does a "flashback" to Day 3 to deepen the story. Why do I say it is Day 3? Because of the timing stated: before plant/before herb. In Genesis 1 we are told which Day those appear.
Genesis 1:12-13
And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
So the evening and the morning were _the third day_ .
Adam was formed from the "dust of the ground." Day 3 is also when God cause the _dry land_ to appear. Dust of the ground and dry land are very similar concepts. I don't believe it is a stretch to note that. So, just after the dry land appears, but just before the grass and herbs are brought forth, Adam is formed. That would make Adam a _different_ man than the man of Day 6. I believe this is supported in Paul's writings:
1 Corinthians 15:45
And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
It is for this reason that I see the man made in the image and likeness of God, declared on Day 6, is Jesus Christ. He is the One written to have dominion.
Numbers 24: 19
Out of Jacob _One shall have dominion_ ,
And destroy the remains of the city.”
Because of what I see being spelled out in Genesis 2 about Adam being a man formed on Day 3 instead of the man mentioned on Day 6, I am coming to realize that church taught many misconceptions about Adam. Such misconceptions are akin to bearing false witness against him! :)
I had this thought earlier tonight that a compass is a perfect metaphor for the Bible. Like a compass, the Bible aligns with a force that we cannot see, feel, or touch, and it indicates the right direction to go. In the same way that you need to learn how to use a compass and set its declination based on the location you are in, you need to study and interpret the Bible, understanding its teachings in the context of your life as well as the historical context in which it was originally written.
Also your connection between the old covenant and the loin cloths was 🔥 . It really resonates with this feeling I get when I am reading (slogging) through the descriptions of the tabernacle specifications. God’s like, “alright, you people really want a hyper-detailed physical temple, and I’ll work with that for now, but wait until you see what I intend to do with this.”
@@lscanlon9908 wow! Great comparison with the compass, although I must confess that I would have no idea how to set a Compass so I would just wander around lost🤪🙏❤️
Very very good.
As for you talking about there being a ton of imagery in the story of the garden...I wouldn't hang up on you! I see so much symbolism in it and all that symbolism lines up with Paul's writing to the Romans. There are other bits from some of his other writings that help explain the symbols, but Romans had several that I just couldn't "unsee" once I saw them.
"And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it . . ." (Genesis 2:2-3).
Are we living that day now? The Great Day Of God Almighty:
Ezekiel 39
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
Revelation 16
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
I’m so excited!!
Hi there Heretic Chick. My name is Lee Alan and I've been listening to your videos for a while. I really enjoy them. I think it is a beautiful thing to see someone actually learning and growing daily as it should be. I agree with everything that you have put out there so far. Since you asked for opinions on the first four chapters of Genesis, I'd like to put a few thoughts down for you to look at concerning the first two chapters; the creation and the formation of all things.
First, thank you. Your channel is one of the most interesting channels I have run across in a very long time. I don't believe evolution can be proven as scientific fact, either. I do believe selective breeding can enhance certain traits as in horse breeding and dog breeding. But they are still dogs and horses. If they are left alone they will probably go back to whatever they were before being breed for certain traits. Muts are created by a divine force, aka, God. I'm going to check out, 'Icons of Evolution'.
"In His image"- This is something that differentiated man from all other creation. I agree with a number of other scholars who see this as a reference to the spirit (though some conflate that with soul). There is no reference to God breathing life into the animals. Yet he did breathe his spirit into man. He also tells us later that the spirit of man returns to God at death, but an animals' returns to the ground. The nature of our spirit also separates us from the more immortal angels.
From one heretic to another, thank you for all you are sharing on your channel!

"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear" (Hebrews 11:3, KJV).
Chick, sorry to disappoint you. Not gonna burn you at the stake for that one. 🙂 It was actually pretty mild. I could have spent that much time just on the first half of the first chapter. I wasn't really expecting 11 minutes on evolution though. I'll comment on some other specific concepts separately.
Abraham married his half-sister Sarah. Things were different before the Law was given.
I think that to call on the Name of the Lord has a correlation with Romans 10:13. I think the line of Seth was godly and asked for salvation. By the way, we have lots of Amish here in Western NY. They don't seem to have the problem with deafness. What is your area?
The three times God uses the word "bara" to create, is in Gen. 1:1, Gen. 1:20-25, and in Gen. 1:27. In Gen. 1:1, God created the physical things in it's atomic form. In Gen. 1:20-25, God creates the soul-life, the living creatures, and in Gen. 1:27, God creates mankind as spirit, or spirit-life, after His own image. Therefore, God created the physical things including physical bodies, or physical-life, soul-life, and spirit-life which He calls Adam. Gen. 5:2.
@@LeeRomero-qt4hj what is the difference between the spirit and the soul?🙏❤️
@@kristinbingamon568very little😁
@kristinbingamon568 In answer to the difference between spirit and soul: The soul is the inner man which is the seat of our thoughts, emotions, and desires. The spirit is what man is. He was created in God's image. Since God is Spirit and has no physical image, mankind was created as spirit, in God's own image. However, in the formation of man in Gen. chapter 2, God forms him with soul, and body to live in the physical world. Through his spirit, he can understand spiritual things if he has God's Spirit by faith dwelling in him.
Here is a thought for y'all about light. We know in verse 1 God created the heavens and the earth. In verse two, the earth already existed. That suggests verse one was NOT a summary statement. So when God created the "heavens", and in verse 4 we find the firmament already existing, what did he create? There is really only two logical ways to go. 1. God created the earth before everything else in the universe. When he says heaven and firmament it simply meant the area above the earth. 2. God created the whole universe in verse one, including the sun, moon, stars, planets and everything, and in the following verses he began to give them order. You think, but what about verses 14-19 where he made the sun, moon and stars? Did he? He said "lights in the firmament of the heaven". Consider this possibility. Earth, as created in verse one without form and void, was a primordial mess. The next verses about separating the waters above and below suggests the seas and the clouds did not exist the way we know them in this primordial mess. Now consider the sun, moon and stars, as would be seen from earth in a primordial mess through a vast vaporous obscurity. There would be light in the day, and darkness at night, but you would never actually see the sun, or moon, or stars. It would be worse than looking for the sun on a totally heavily overcast day. You cannot see the sun, but you know it is day. But as God proceeded to bring order, on the 4th day after he has provided vegetation which interacts with the biosphere, NOW he has the atmosphere set more like what we are familiar with, and for the first time you can actually seen the sun, and moon, and stars. I find #2 to be more plausible and create less problems in the text than #1.
YAHUAH'S near year is the day of the spring equinox !
The moon, the sun and stars is our calendar given to us by our Creator.
They did NOT die that day. I am glad you immediately saw how fragile that makes the whole Preterist argument in the Olivet Discourse. But if it makes you feel any better, at least one Hebrew scholar translates it in Genesis that in that day "dying you shall die" BTW, the hiding in the Olivet Discourse was fleeing the armies of Titus, not hiding from God.
I believe being made in God’s image means body, spirit, soul. Since Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and God the Father were all present before creation, I think it also explains the use of “our image”. Scripture is clear about the us having those three things, so if Jesus is the body and the Father is the soul then we are in the image of God.
@@jarrodzimmer that makes sense. But then I always have trouble understanding the difference between the soul and the spirit. Can you help me with that?😂🤪🙏❤️
@@kristinbingamon568soul is your essence your mind, thoughts, emotions.
Spirit allows you to connect to the divine relationship with God. Holy Spirit.
@ thank you. That is actually very helpful❤️🙏
In chapter 1 of Genesis, God uses the word create only three times. The Hebrew word "bara" means to bring forth out of nothing. It is a different word then that of to form, in Hebrew, it is "asah," to form or fashion. Chapter one describes the Creation account, and chapter two describes God's forming of what He created in chapter one.
@@LeeRomero-qt4hj that’s interesting? I’ve never thought about it that way.🙏❤️
They were both driven from the garden, because they were both one flesh. What one did, the other was accounted for because they were one flesh.
The bible translators should have left Gen 1:1 to say "Elohim" rather than "God". Then later in Gen. 2:4 we have Yahweh (YHVH) introducing Himself, and the translators proceeded to call Him "Lord" or "Lord God". Thus in the minds of readers, it is natural to think that "it's all just God" which preserves the doctrine of monotheism. I don't think this is correct, and results from intentional biases which were (probably) forced upon the translators. We know that there is a distinction here, because e.g. Elohim warned Noah that Yahweh was getting ready to flood the earth. Elohim is actually a PLURAL noun so this idea gets even more complex.
BINGO you're onto something with "in the day that you eat it you will die". I prefer to keep the simple meaning of the words "day" and "death". Adam eventually died because Yahweh guarded the tree of life from the two of them. There is a restoration of the tree of life at the end of Revelation (for all mankind I think), thus they will live forever (a conditional immortality which requires the tree of life).
The gnostic version of the garden scene has the serpent being Christ (it never says the serpent was Satan). So the serpent told Eve that Yahweh had essentially lied to them, and that once they ate the tree of knowledge, then they will be more like the gods. Yahweh admitted that he'd lied about this in Gen. 3:22 (Behold the man and woman have become like us, having knowledge of good & evil), and of course they did not die that day. I certainly do not embrace everything under the umbrella term gnosticism, but see for yourself if this is true. We may also have a hint for this in John 3:14 (Jesus compares HImself to the brass serpent).
"And mankind began to call upon the name of the Lord" Some people think that an alternate meaning of "call" is "curse". Perhaps they began to curse the Lord (for their lives being so hard I suppose), but this is speculation until I can study it further.
A friend of mine just mentioned light and solids and as for God say let us make man in our image, doesn't that sound like theres a plurality to that statement as there may have been God and his Only son at that moment?
I believe the plurality of in our image is we are body soul and spirit. In the image of the Son the father and the Holy Spirit. Mode in our image.😊
@@petethesquatchie yes I forgot to mention the whole “ our” plural thing. So much to cover in Genesis!

@@stephenfink5009 i always thought that. Pretty plain and simple as we have a God that doesn't cause confusion.
@@petethesquatchie I didn’t even throw in the fact that God established and everlasting covenant with a Son sacrifice of Isaac, clearly God was testing Abraham’s Trust and Obedience and knew it was an absolute heart wrenching thought to sacrifice his own Son. However Abraham was going to do it full fledge and was stopped from actually committing the act itself but committed in his heart and God prevented.
Praise God! Now factor in that God kept his promise by sending his very own Son to attest his love for Man (Abraham Covenant) it’s a full story in my eyes and praying to God before scripture reading or guidance is amazing! I highly encourage folks to do that and sometimes when reading online and pop out scriptures show or while on FB wall posts etc. tv ads where you see Bible scriptures shared I would strongly suggest reading those directly maybe even entire chapter for God may be teaching you and leading you one by one to those exact verses for clear instruction/wisdom.
This is very similar to how God offered Solomon any request he would like and Solomon asked for wisdom. Hope it helps oh and also fasting to include a very strict water only fast is incredibly beneficial when seeking Gods word and Bible reading /deep meditation and prayer. I have also heard it helps to battle demonic possessions and casting them out. God bless you.
In Genesis chapter two, God forms what He has already created in Chapter one, but, in a different order. In chapter 1, He created physical-life, soul-life, and spirit-life after His own image.
In chapter 2, He forms the living creatures, that is soul-life with physical bodies, and mankind, that is spirit-life, with, not only physical bodies, but also with soul-life; thoughts, emotions and desires, but, mankind is the only spirit-life that God creates. Man or mankind is spirit, soul, and body. Animals are souls and bodies, and plant-life is only physical-life. Each creative act builds upon the last. Hope this might help!
Which Bible version do you read?
@@reneesuter7884 my Bible is ESV but I wouldn’t say that would be my favorite version. It’s just what I have. My husband has NASV and he really likes that. I don’t know that there’s one perfect version. I compare a lot with the literal version and the Greek interlinear.🙏❤️
Adam was told not to eat of that tree. He was pure conscious.
The covering of fig leaves pointed to Israel, the fig tree, The religion of Judaism was the unbelieving Nation's way of providing their own righteousness, ignoring their Messiah's sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin which was promised to Adam in Gen. 3:15.
You asked, "How did they die that day?" That's a great question! The Bible tells us how they died that day, where Paul explains:
Romans 7:9
I was alive once without the law, but _when the commandment came, sin revived and I died_ .
Adam was given a commandment:
Genesis 2:16
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
So, if Paul died when the commandment came, likewise Adam died when the commandment came...and in Adam's place sin revived. I believe the serpent is the symbol for sin. And I think other text in Romans 7 supports that, but this reply is already going to be long enough, so I'll stop here. :)
I believe using the Bible to explain other parts of the Bible is important. It keeps us from coming up with our own answers for the questions we have. The questions are good! We should have many questions. But then we should search the rest of the Bible for the answers to them, coupled with prayer, asking God to point us to the truth.
Here is why I think it is acceptable to compare Adam's condition with what Paul describes in Romans 7:
John 8:34
Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, _whoever commits sin is a slave of sin_ .
Did Adam commit sin? Yes, as stated in Romans 5:14. If we believe the words Jesus spoke, then we are to accept that Adam was a slave of sin...just like the rest of us.
@@bridgestew very good thank you!❤️🙏
God's provided sacrifice for the remission of sin pointed to Jesus the seed of Gen. 3:15 for the total forgiveness of sin. Cain and Abel made their own choice, through their conscience, the knowledge of good and evil.
Cain's offering was rejected because it wasn't a blood sacrifice that God had shown Adam. Abel's sacrifice was of animal blood, for the remission of sin.
@@LeeRomero-qt4hj I have wondered about that. That could be the case, but I find it interesting that God says that Abel brought the best of his offering, but it doesn’t say that about Cain. But either way, pointing forward to Christ, typologically, the blood sacrifice was definitely needed.
For someone who reads at a 6th grade level... if they read the Old Testament for 30 minutes a day and the New Testament 15 minutes a day, at the end of a year they would have read the Old Testament 2.7 times and the New Testament 4.7 times. I know 45 minutes sounds like a long time but if you're honest... compare 45min with the smount if time you spend on entertainment. Oops, did I say that outloud.
@@One-Ruler-1Victor that is so true! I am ashamed of the amount of time I waste every day.😢🙏❤️
@kristinbingamon568 Don't beat yourself up over it. Shame doesn’t do much good. Realization that puts things into perspective instigates growth. That's maturing in the faith, and hopefully, all of us who seek God in Spirit and Truth will never stop maturing. At least, that's how I see it, but it's worth all of My2Cents. Lol
Somebody or something died that day. In all inocence.
The death of the male was spiritual separation from God, spiritual death. Eve was formed from the male and the two were of one flesh. Eve was not commanded not to eat and nothing happened to her when she did eat. However, when she gave the fruit to her husband, then, both of their eyes were opened. Eve did not sin because she ate. Where there is no law there is no transgression. Her transgression came when she gave to her husband the fruit that he had obviously told her he was not to eat of. That was the transgression. Together, sin came by the woman, and death (spiritual) came by the male, together, sin and death came through Adam; male and female.
God made the bang, bang if that is how it really happened. It's just a theory which means we have no clue.
Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning" of time, John 1:1 "In the beginning" of Jesus ministry, John is witness to the Messiah not Creation. The controversies start there.
Day, one is light John baptized in water John pointing to the light Jesus Christ second day a new creation comes out of the water. Jesus comes out of the water as a new creation we come out of the water as a new creation day three vegetation, the Gospels fruit. I could go on and on, but you should do it for yourself. It’s pretty awesome. The gospel first John even ask all go right along with creation.
Why is that controversial?🙏❤️
@kristinbingamon568 Because Jesus was either a man who was ordained as a rabbi to reveal God in his image, or that Jesus was there in person of God creating everything, and I happen to think John is witness to the Messiah born of a woman under the law.
I was adding to your point that everything you said was argued about strongly.
By the way I also believe Adam brought on himself carnal death, from the day he disobeyed God he was condemned to die, as is the nature of sin being judicial condemnation only retrievable by repentance as Exekiel 33:11-16.
A worthy endeavor sister, with perseverance it can be done in 12 months. 8 after a couple times!

Where did that "Sabbath" go btw? Some know it's still there. There has been all along! That 'mark' on Cain was simply that there would be those who tried to do good, and those who hated them for it, till this was over. Wait till ch. 6 because we are going to shred those 'nephilim' knuckleheads because I am tired of lies being spread around as fact!
@@delveguy what is your take on Genesis chapter 6?
@@kristinbingamon568 I guess you'll have to see huh... :)
Isaiah 45:7
I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the Lord, do all these things.
God did not create the 'light'. God forms the Light because God is light. It was the darkness that had to be created because darkness was not existing in the eternal realm, nor is darkness an eternal attribute of God.
God who is eternal Light 'formed' His Light on the earth in that sense that God manifested His truth and life in the world.
John 1
4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
@@ophiuchus9071 I understand your point and I agree. But it does say, “and God said “let there be light “and there was light”. So in some sense, it seems to be implying that there wasn’t light and then there was. Or am I mistaken? When the Bible talks about God being light or Jesus being the light of the world, I don’t think it’s really talking about physical light that we observe with our physical eyes. But that physical light that we observe with our physical eyes does exist and did come from somewhere.🙏❤️
@@kristinbingamon568 The way I understand is that God is Light and by God coming into the world as Jesus Christ in John 1 that is how light was manifested when God said 'let there be light' in Genesis 1.
I understand that John's beginning the same as Genesis beginning
The darkness and light in John's beginning are the same light and darkness as in Genesis beginning.
I would also say that the first covenant of law was a form of God's light.
Proverbs 6:23
For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
Isaiah 51:4
“Listen to Me, My people; And give ear to Me, O My nation: For law will proceed from Me, And I will make My justice rest As a light of the peoples.
So 'light' was manifested first in Genesis 1 in the form of the law, and then the light of Christ came when man was being made into God's image by HIs Spirit
I am suggesting that the lesser light is pointing to the law of Moses and the greater light is pointing to Christ.
Genesis 1
16 Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night.
and I believe Paul is also making reference to this in
1 Thessalonians 5:5
You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
Revelation 21:23
The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
Revelation 22:5
There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.
In answer to your asking about Seth; why does Genesis say that men, after Seth was born, men began to call on the name of the LORD? In answer, I would suggest that through the fall, all men born through Adam had freewill, a choice to choose between good or evil. They had acquired freewill through knowing what was right and what was wrong.
After the fall, Abel chose to believe God through performing the animal blood sacrifice, and Cain chose not to and rather provided a sacrifice of his own choosing, without blood.
Cain killed Abel, who was righteous because he obeyed the correct sacrifice. After Abel died, only Cain remained. The earth was being populated with Cain's unbelieving seed. Unbeliever's who did not perform the sacrifice.
When God gives Eve another child in place of Abel, Seth also believed and performed the correct sacrifice. Through Seth, men began to perform the animal blood sacrifice for the remission of sin that pointed to Christ. Therefore, believing, his seed began to call on the name of the LORD.
In Genesis chapter six, Cain's unbelieving seed are the sons and daughters of men, and Seth's believing seed are the sons of God, believer's.
@@LeeRomero-qt4hj why couldn’t Adam have been offering blood sacrifices and calling on the name of the Lord even before Seth?
@kristinbingamon568 Adam did offer the sacrifice, but at this point, he had only two offspring, one righteous, and one unrighteous. The unrighteous killed the rightwous, so there were no others until God gave Eve their third offspring, Seth, who began to call on the name of te LORD. All Cain's descendants were called the sons and daughters of men, unbelievers. Seth's seed were called the sons of God, the believers.
Let me know if you get it or not. I'll try further to explain.
It was after these three offspring that Scripture tells us that Adam had other children, afterwards. Some believed, some didn't. Obeying God with the sacrifice for the remission of sin is what made them justified, or, righteous. After Abel was killed, only Cain and his unbelieving seed multiplied until Seth was born.
@@LeeRomero-qt4hj I get what you are saying!🙏❤️. Yes I think that is a good explanation….calling on the Lord meant offering proper sacrifices which Seth did.👍. Thank you!🙏❤️
In the beginning _Jesus_ created the heaven and the earth. By himself.
"knowledge of good and evil" in Deut 1. All it is saying there is the children were two young to be complicit in the sin of their parents. I see no value in reflecting that back to Gen 1-4.
In Genesis 1:26-27 when God says
26 And Elohim spoke:
We make Adam in Our image,
according (to) Our likeness.
And they (will) (hol)d sway
\in/among (the) fish (of) the sea,
and \in/among (the) fluttering (of) the heavens,
and \in/among (the) animal(s),
and (with)in all the earthland,
and \in/among all the roaming (creature),
\the/that (is) roaming on the earthland.
27 And Elohim created ` \the/ Adam
in His image;
in (the) image (of) (the) elohim He created him;
male and female He created them."
This is covenantal creation. Adam was not the first human ever created, he was the first ever to be created in covenant with God. This is why he is placed IN the garden after being created IN the dust. When God removes Adam and Eve from the garden, they are cursed to be below even the serpent who was cursed to be below all the beasts of the field - I.E. Adam lost the "sway" he was to hold over them.
This is also a trinity-supporting verse because the "Our" and "We" here is covenantal recognition of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I have a few videos where I go in-depth on how amazingly typological Genesis 1-3 is to the coming of Christ in AD 70.

as I can understand, only Genesis 1 is speaking prophetically about a covenant creation. Genesis 2 is when Adam and Eve were created, and Genesis 2 took place 2500 years before the heavens and earth were created in Genesis 1.
I agree the US and the OUR in Genesis 1:26 is referring to Father Son and Holy Spirit because man did not have the image of God in him until after he receives the HS. The HS in man is God's image in man.
The work of the Father and Son and Holy Spirit (US and OUR) needed to be completed first before man could be in God's image. And the Son and the HS did not arrive and complete their work until that 1st century with Christ. John 1's beginning is a parallel to Genesis 1 beginning, they are both referring to the same beginning. The 'darkness' is spiritual darkness in both John 1 and Genesis 1, and the darkness came through Adam's transgression. The darkness and sin on the earth did not get here before Adam and Eve transgressed, therefore Genesis 1 is written long after Adam and Eve manifested the darkness on the earth.
God did not make man in His image for the purpose of being a type of idol of God, but God put Himself in man and man having God in him is what qualifies man as being in God's image.
God is Spirit.
The heavens and earth in Genesis 1 is referring to the old covenant of Moses. The new covenant is prophesied in Genesis 1:26 when God is dwelling in man. In fact only those who have God dwelling in them are actually in the new covenant, and those who do not have God in them are not in the covenant with God.
2 Corinthians 6:16
And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.”
@@kristinbingamon568 Luke 3:38 is the key to this verse - Adam is identified as being the son of God. It all harkens back to covenant creation.

what does it mean to be made in the image of God?
Well I would say that God was not making little idols of Himself but was manifesting the image of Himself, in the sense that God Himself was in men, and by God dwelling in man that qualified man as being in God's image
Colossians 1:15
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
The Son was not a created idol of God, but was God Himself dwelling in the Son, and because God was in the Son, then that qualified the Son to be the image of God.
Men who are born of the HS have God come to dwell in them and having God Himself dwelling in a man is what qualifies a man to be in the image of God. The image of God is God Himself.
1 Cor 15
45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. 48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.
The process of bringing mankind into God's image began with Adam and Eve and culminated in Christ.
Isaiah 66:8
Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children.
The children of God are the 'male and female' in Genesis 1:26, who have been made into image of God.
Genesis 2
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
God did not rest from His labours when Adam and Eve were created. God's work of making man into His image was just beginning with Adam and Eve
John 5:17
17 In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.”
God's Sabbath rest came after Christ finished His work and the HS finished His work. that is why God is used in a plural form in Genesis 1:26
Let US (Father Son and Holy Spirit) make man in our image.
Man did not come to be in the image of God without the work of the Son and the HS being completed.
Hebrews 4
3 Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,
It is through faith in Christ that the eternal '7th day' of God's Sabbath rest is manifested to mankind and when God completes His work of bringing man into His image.
Very good explanation thank you❤️🙏. So let me ask this and forgive me if I’m misunderstanding or if this is a dumb question, so did Adam cease to be in the image of god after he sinned and then no one was again until Christ?
@@kristinbingamon568 My understanding is that Adam was only spoken as being in the image of God, in the sense that God was calling what did not yet exist as though it did exist.
When God said that Adam was in His image, God was speaking of His ultimate purpose for mankind as coming into the image of God. Just as God spoke in this same manner with Abraham.
Romans 4:17
As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed-the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.
God called Abraham as who Abraham would become and not who Abraham was at that moment in time, which was childless.
God called Adam in His image because Adam(humankind) was intended for that purpose and would eventually become in God's image through Christ
In reality no man was ever in the image of God until Christ.
1 Cor 15
47 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. 48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.
Adam was made in the image of the earthly man, Jesus was in the image of the heavenly man.
Colossians 1:15
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
Colossians 1:15 could never be said of the first man Adam as it is said of Jesus
Genesis 5
3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth.
Seth was in Adam's image and likeness not in God's image and likeness, so it cannot be said that Adam was in the likeness and image of God, if Seth was in Adam's image

end quote
here is something to consider that I found to be interesting concerning the creation of Genesis 1 and the creation of Adam and Eve in Genesis 2.
quote
1. The first account shows a perfect order, system and method, of which the second account is entirely destitute. In the first account the time is divided up into regular intervals. "The evening and the morning were the first day." "The evening and the morning were the second day," and so on. Here also the work of creation is systematically arranged and graded; it moves on majestically from the lowest forms of being to man, the image of the Creator. There is nothing of this kind in the second account. There is no order or system here, but rather a sort of an off hand mingling of all the events together in one short narrative.
2. According to the first account the work of creation occupied six "days"; whether the day be days of twenty-four hours, or days of a thousand years, or vast geological periods, we need not now stop to discuss; it is enough for our present purpose simply to notice that the periods are each called a "day." According to the second account the whole work of creation seems to have occupied only one day. See verse 4. "In the day that the Lord God made the earth, and the heavens, and every plant," etc.
3. The six days of the first account are followed by a seventh day of rest. No rest day is spoken of in the second account.
4. In the first account everything that God makes is pronounced "good"; and at last when His creative work is crowned with man in His own image, all is stamped with the divine seal as "very good." Nothing is pronounced good in the second account.
5. In the first account two beings are spoken of as being engaged in the creation of man. "Let us make man," etc. In the second it is the Lord God alone who creates male.
6. In the first account man is created in the image and likeness of God. In the second nothing is said of his being thus created.
7. In the first account man is given dominion over all God's creation. In the second no such authority is bestowed upon him.
8. In the first account the creation of the man and the woman seems to have been simultaneous and is blended together in a very curious way, as indicated by the use of the singular and plural pronouns in verses 26 and 27. "And God said let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them [the man and woman evidently, though nothing had been said about the female] have dominion. So God created man in his own image; in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." In the second account the creation of the male and the female is very distinct and explicit; and it appears that the former came into existence sometime before the latter.
9. Thus in the first account we see the male and the female blended together as though they actually were one, although nothing is said of their being one. In the second account we see just the opposite of this; the man and the woman appear as very distinct and separate. but they are said to be one.
10. In the first account the man and the woman are commanded to "be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth and subdue it." No such command is given in the second.
11. In the first account man has full permission, without any restriction whatever, to partake of every herb and tree "upon the face of all the earth," verse 29. In the second account a restriction is placed upon him. "Of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
12. Finally, and perhaps more significant than all the rest, in the first account everything that is done is God's work. Man has nothing to do with it. God does the whole work from the beginning until he creates man in His own image and likeness, and rests because everything "He has made" is very good. In the second account, the prohibition laid upon him, man is made a party to the work; and he spoils it all, as he always has, by his disobedience. The first account is rounded out, and perfectly completed, bright and glorious, by "everything very good," and God resting "from all His work" (2:2) . The second account runs sadly on into the devil's disastrous work, man's disobedience, and the apparent ruin of the race. When we see it thus we feel like exclaiming, O that the first account might have been the true and only one! where there is no law, no serpent, no sin, no death. But many who would thus express themselves little think that without this second account, with all its disastrous consequences, man would never have reached the perfect state, and God's work would never have been completed.
It will be seen that some of the foregoing differences seem absolutely contradictory; others are perplexing; all of them are very suggestive. In the letter it would be very difficult to harmonize these differences, so as to make the Bible appear consistent and reliable. But there is a spirit to this portion of the Word as to all the rest. We are sure of this, for Paul plainly indicates it when he tells us in Rom. 5:14 that Adam was a "figure (type, same word as in margin of 1 Cor. 10:11) of him that was to come," Jesus Christ, the finished Adam. This account of the creation then is an "allegory," like that of Abraham and the promised seed. This has a spiritual meaning. What is it? What is the spirit of this portion of the word? I will tell you in my own language and then give the proof afterwards. If I err not, the key that unlocks this mystery is this:-The first account is PROPHETICAL, setting forth the work, in figure, as it was to be in the process, and as it will be in the perfect, finished result. The second account is HISTORICAL, setting forth the work as it actually was at that stage of the process.
end quote
In Rom. 4:17, a very important principle in God's method is laid down; "God calleth those things which be not as though they were." God speaks of things that he determines to do as though they were done. He speaks of things in process as though completed. He speaks of things that are not as though they were.

Adam died in “the day” (to the Lord a day is like 1,000 years) Adam died at 930 years. Well within the Lord’s day!
4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
Did it also take 1000 years for the day to be fulfilled that Adam would have his eyes opened to good and evil and be like God?
no
Adam's eyes were opened to good and evil instantly and in a blink of an eye
6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.
They died on the same day their eyes were opened and it wasn't a physical death.
