(A search of the Board has returned a few past results around the subject but not a great deal.)
I have eaten meat all my life, and yet only began to think about it in any depth a couple of years ago, and have since become more conscious of the way animals (especially those for slaughter) are...
I was reading Vos’ Biblical Theology and he makes a point which hinges on a certain rendering of Gen 15:1.
In the KJV (see also NIV and ASV) the reward is God himself “I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward” whereas the ESV (and others) have the reward as distinct from God. The ESV...
Started the new year reading from start to finish again and as I was reading I noticed Jacob is speaking in (Genesis 49:31) There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife. There they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife, and there I buried Leah, I'm aware that Rachel died on the way to Bethlehem but...
Hello All,
I ran a few searches and didn't notice if this question was asked before so here it goes. I was in a discussion with a group of believers and somebody asked this question. "Was it immoral for God to ask Abraham to sacrifice Isaac considering Gen 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by...
Father God,
Thou and thou alone art creator,
Thou art the reason for all good things
Thou wilt create according to thy pleasure
Create in this weak frame a soul that liveth thee,
Feed me with thy great Word of truth,
Cause me to grace flee and grow
Help me to reject all sin and weakness of...
I would love a theologically-informed answer to this question! It only occurred to me that I've never known why specifically God breathed into Adam's nostrils and not his mouth.
Thanks!
People of this here lovely forum,
Can y’all please send me sermons on Genesis? It needs to be in an audio format.
It can be yourself, friends, family, favorites, or anyone else. I’m looking to listen to at least 10 sermons for a class assignment.
As I've been studying through Genesis, I've come across a question which I have not thought of before. Of course, of everything I've been taught or have read, Joseph's brothers were those who sold Joseph to the Midianites (or Ishmaelites or Medanites (v.36) - they tend to put these groups all as...
I have been working with an apparent biblical inconsistency that actually touches the resurrection (and it came to me the day before Easter).
In Genesis 18 we have God and 2 angels visit Abraham and dine with him. The 2 angels visit Lot and dine with him and then physically grab Lot and his...
Nehemiah 9:7 and Acts 7:2 posit that Aram was called while in Ur (which also seems to fit the context of the statement "Go out from your land"). However, Genesis 12:4, in context, seems to state that Abram heard the call and proceeded to leave Haran. I have heard that perhaps he received the...
Hello,
I have what I would call a "tentative" postmillennial view of eschatology. I line up a lot with Ken Gentry. But one thing I came across lately was the seed of the woman and of the serpent in Genesis 3:15. The particular commentary I was reading argued that the term seed has both...
Was wondering how people that hold a old earth view get that view using the Bible. Would not a natural reading of Genesis bring a person to a young Earth view? If God created the Earth in 6 days, then you count back how many days through genealogies to Adam there are, does not this show the...
Hello, this is my first post on the Puritan Board. I thought I might glean a little bit of wisdom from my reformed brethren.
I have been teaching a small, 10-20 person class at our church, a nondenominational, (previous SBC) on the book of Genesis for the last few weeks. So far we have not...
I was reading Waltke's "Genesis" commentary and read something I'm not too sure of concerning humanity being made in the image of God; I thought I would share the quote and see what you guys think-
Furthermore, we are theomorphic. At the very least this entails that human beings, like God...
