Nov 20, 2023 · This isn't stated anywhere. In fact, what the Bible actually says is that God created humans on day six of the creation account in chapter 1, and then God rested on day seven at the beginning of chapter 2. The story of Adam's creation comes next. It's nothing more than an assumption that these are two tellings of the same event.

The first thing that strikes us is the repetition of the plural pronouns in reference to God: “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness” (1:26). Jewish scholars usually explain this as God talking to the angels. But Scripture is clear that God did not take counsel with the angels when He created man (Isa. 40:12-26; 44:24), and beside...
“Let them rule” (1:26) is the consequence of “Let Us make man in Our image.” God gave the right of dominion over all living things to man. The command to subdue it (1:28) implies that there was work involved, even in the perfect setting of the Garden, to bring the creation under man’s rightful dominion. This dominion involves a stewardship of the e...
“Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it” (1:28). This is both God’s pronouncement of blessing as well as His delegation of responsibility. The blessing of sharing in God’s creative process by producing offspring was given to other living things besides man (1:22, 24-25). But man alone was commanded not only to fill the earth, b...
A man died and they put on his tombstone: “He came, stayed a while, and left.” Sad epitaph! But what if it had said, “He came, stayed a while, got married, worked at his job, raised a family, and left”? Throw in, “He became a success in his career and made a pile of money.” It’s still missing the purpose for which God created us. God made us indivi...

God created Adam from the dust of the ground by breathing life into him. So he literally carried the “breath of God” inside of him. We were given physical bodies, but the Lord also gave us spirits, the way He ...
Feb 17, 2023 · Since God is omniscient, He already knew Adam and Eve were going to sin. God created Adam first, and then He created Eve out of Adam’s rib (Genesis 2:4-2:22). Not long after God created Adam and Eve, the Fall of Man occurred. God had told Adam and Eve specifically that they could eat from any fruit of the Garden except the Tree of Knowledge.
Dec 10, 2019 · Mankind’s creation is described in Genesis 1:26–31. From this account we notice a number of important points. First, man has both singularity and plurality: man is first spoken of as a singular entity (“him”), then later as the plurality of male and female (“them”). Humanity has a number of aspects to it: humanity is a kind, a race ...
