2020-02-18 Contradictions->SAB:1a Two contradictory creation accounts SAB:1a Two contradictory creation accounts Ge 1-2:3 vs Ge 2:4-3:24 Translation: The lazy scoffer fails to understand the language scripture was written in, and base their scoffing on English translations. 'Formed' ויצר can be interpreted in different tenses. Which was made first; animals, as per Ge 1 or Adam as per Ge 2? The core issue is in this verse which appears to say that God created the animals to bring to Adam. Ge 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed ויצר every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof. The word 'formed' ויצר is obviously past tense in Isaiah 29:16 Isa 29:16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed ויצר say of him that framed it, He had no understanding? Though the word can be translated as different tenses, the scoffer chooses the translation to invent a contradiction. It actually says that God brought the animals, that he had made previously, to Adam. Contradictions->SAB:1b Man and woman created simultaneously or not? SAB:1b Man and woman created simultaneously or not? Pile on the strawman: The scoffer builds a secondary claim for an apparent contradiction based on his first faulty claim. This claim is based in the previous faulty claim of verse 2:19 dealt with here: SAB:1a Two contradictory creation accounts At the same time: Ge 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good. Ge 1:26 ¶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Ge 1:27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Man, then animals, then woman: Ge 2:18 ¶ And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. Ge 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof. Ge 2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. Ge 2:21 ¶ And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; Ge 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

2020-01-25 Who inspired the writers of the Bible? What does 99 mean in the Bible? Why did God make it in such a way that a man and a woman should jointly create a child instead of each one giving birth separately? Is God trying to explain in Zechariah 12:3 that he will essentially come against anyone that comes against Jerusalem the city of David? What can you learn from Genesis 3:1-7? Is philosophy a sin? Does God exist? Does God allow individualism or does He only permit His way of things? Were Adam and Eve intimate before they ate the forbidden fruit? How many books are missing from the Bible? What is Sensus Plenior and how does it impact the field of hermeneutics?
