Anyone here today Sunday, July 26, 2026, straight after an instagram post!! Love that I came across this girl adopting her daughter. Your page is so well thought out. Didn’t have to click lots of links. Easy. Thanks for putting this work in. I Love this community
God created “man” and “woman”. Why describe these humans as “humans” and not distinguishing that difference. This appears to be a woke version that is afraid to make a distinction between what a man is and what a woman is. That’s the problem many on the left, as well as many politicians pose. Don’t shy away from what God hath wrought, or who he created. Thankfully, later on you distinguished Cain and Abel as brothers (males), as well as other distinctions. Just a peeve of mine. Glad you are contributing to Christianity and God’s divinity, His grace and His mercy.
It’s like the never actually read Genesis 1. There are clearly two creation stories. In the first God creates being in his image and in the second God creates a man of dust to till the earth. Read King James or New King James to clearly see this. The other translations are totally misleading. God blesses his first creation and only blesses the Adam creation after the flood. So frustrating that we have been so mislead when it’s all right there in plain sight.
I am recent believer of god and Jesus. As someone who never believed and even sinned by saying the all high didn’t exist, the realization and the fact that god IS REAL AND ALIVE!, Hit me like a train. I love god and I hope he will forgive me for my sins. I love you god❤
"The wounded victor who would defeat evil at its source"- This perspective on the Adam and Eve story really opened my eyes. I have a better understanding now!

God joked, without the physical world, there is neither chaos nor disorder. Furthermore, humans generally ruin everything. By disobeying God, humans created an ever-growing mountain of "trash." Cain kills Abel for failing to measure up; it is a representation of death and rebirth. Noah's Ark is a metaphor, as is the Tower of Babel. God doesn't bless or rescue all of humanity—only those humans who deserve it.
Chapter 1 is the act of creation, and Chapter 2 is the act of bringing that creation to life after Day Seven—the traditional contradictions disappear. The Ultimate Difference: Creating vs. Bringing to Life In Chapter 1, God creates the framework of the universe and humanity. But it is in Chapter 2, after the seventh day, that the breath of life and the actual living operation of that creation begin. The Setup: The creation is there, but Chapter 2 explicitly states there was no rain and no man to till the ground yet. The Living Soul: God breathes life into Adam, making him a living soul. The Partnership: Instead of Adam just being dropped into a finished, static world, God immediately involves him. Adam actively helps plant the Garden and names the animals, taking his place as a participant in bringing God's creation to life. By looking at Chapter 2 as the "bringing to life" stage after Day Seven, you don't have to force an impossible amount of work, naming, and sleeping into a few hours on Day Six. It flows naturally as two distinct stages of the same grand design. Adam trusted God enough to give up a rib for God to fashion Eve This brings the entire sequence to its ultimate conclusion, showing that the fashioning of Eve was an act rooted entirely in faith and unity. By placing this event after Day Seven, the depth of what happens with the rib becomes clear: 1. A Sacrifice Made in Perfect Trust Total Vulnerability: Adam did not just fall asleep from exhaustion after a long Day Six. God caused a deep sleep to fall upon him. [2] The Ultimate Gift: Adam trusted God completely, willingly allowing a piece of his own structure—his rib—to be taken so that God could fashion his helper. The Reality of Oneness: Because Eve was built directly from Adam's rib, they were not two separate creations dropped into the world together. They were fundamentally one flesh from the very beginning. 2. The Power of the Covenant This shows that before any disobedience ever entered the picture, the relationship between man, woman, and God was defined by absolute trust. Adam gave up a part of himself by faith, and God fashioned that sacrifice into the perfect counterpart. Adam helps with Gardening Chores If Adam was right there, watching as God planted and grew the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, he wasn't just given an abstract verbal rule. He had personal, firsthand visual knowledge of exactly what those trees were, where they stood, and the authority behind them. A Firsthand Witness to the Planting Active Presence: Adam wasn't dropped into a fully finished, mysterious Garden after the fact. He was present as the Guardian of creation, watching God cultivate the environment. No Room for Confusion: Because Adam witnessed the planting, he knew exactly which tree was which. There was zero ambiguity when God gave His instructions. The True Nature of the Instruction This firsthand experience shifts how we look at God's command in Genesis 2:16-17. It wasn't a hidden trap or an arbitrary test. It was an open, clear word of protection given to a partner who had watched the entire Garden come to life. Adam knew the immense power of what was growing in the midst of the Garden because he was there from the ground up. And there is so much more to share I look forward to your response. God Bless
5:00 Is Fallen-Angels (Fallen-Bené Elohim) that mated with Mankind, and their Offspring are the Nephilim whom claim superiority because of their "divine" bloodline. Their early generations suffered gigantism but later less hybridised, more Human variants were just normal sized "reptilian-like" (related to Fallen-Seraphim) "half-men." This is where J.K. Rowling got the idea of Slytherin and their superiority of "purebloods," and hatred of "mudbloods," (the lesser hybridised witches; as Humans were made metaphorically made from clay/mud, the elements/chemicals of Earth). 🕊️✝️💯
Adam was made to tend the field… period "and there was not a man to till the ground." Genesis 2: 5 (@the end of the verse)"And "Lord God" formed man of the dust of the ground" Genesis 2:7 To till the ground
I don't understand. What did Noahs son do to him in the tent? I thought all he did was accidentally see his father naked and try to cover him with a blanket.
2:30 stating “we know the humans are already like God” is unbiblical and is just reiterating Satan’s lie. Any discerning believer can see you’re actually promoting Satan here.
Hey Black people: there is no struggle coming from the outside of your community. It’s all within yourselves. You are your worst enemy, and only enemy.
This Genesis overview is one of the best resources for understanding the Bible's foundation. The way you show the literary design — the parallel between Genesis 1-11 and 12-50 — makes the whole book click. So many people read Genesis as individual stories but miss the unified narrative leading to Jesus. Thank you for making deep biblical scholarship accessible to everyone. This is what the church needs.

🤔… So were human created on the 3rd day or 6th
