Old Shepherd said to me
So in response I have started this thread.
I would like to begin at the beginning of the Old Testament and discuss the major differences in the creation accounts of Genesis chapters one and two.
Chapter 1
24-26) The animals of the earth and creeping things and birds and fish are created
27) and then mankind (both male and female).
Chapter 2
7) The man only is formed
18-19) then the animals of the field are formed and birds.
Note: Chapter one the animals of the earth and creeping things along with birds and fish are created. In chapter two the animals of the field are formed and the birds. No fish or creeping things. Chapter one both male and female are created but in two only the man is formed.
Chapter 1
28) Mankind (male and female) is told to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth,
Chapter 2
8) The man (no female) is placed in a garden in Eden to till it and guard it.
Note: In chapter one we have both male and female which are told to be fruitfull and fill the earth. In two we have only the man and he is placed in the garden of Eden to till it and guard it.
Chapter 1
28 Mankind is told to rule over the fish, birds and over all living things creeping on the earth.
Chapter 2
18 It says because the man was alone the living things of the field and the birds were formed to be a mate or counterpart for him.
20) it says the animals and birds were not found to be a suitable mate or counterpart for the man.
21-22) so a part of the man was removed and built into a woman.
Note: Chapter one mankind is told to rule over the animals etc. In two the animals and birds are formed to be a mate or counter part to the man. That is a big difference. And to top it off the animals and birds in chapter two were formed to be the mans mate and the woman was built only after it was found that the animals and birds were not suitable.
Chapter 1
29) Mankind is given all grass bearing seed which is on the surface of the earth and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree bearing seed for food.
Chapter 2
16-17) YHUH commands the man that he may freely eat of every tree in the garden except the tree of the knowledge of good and bad.
Note: In chapter one mankind is free to move over the surface of the earth and eat all seed bearing grass and from every seed bearing tree which produces fruit, but in chapter two the man is confined to the garden in Eden which he is to guard, and may only eat freely of all the trees in the garden with the exception of the tree of the knowledge of good and bad.
There are some major differences.
What the h*ll kind of response is that? You made a point of condemning the N.T. and Christians because they are all supposedly pagan but all you can say about the pagan similarities in the O.T. is, “such things are disturbing.” When you were up there on your high horse attacking the N.T. and Christianity, why were you ignoring the O.T.?
