Christ the Holy Spirit
In v 2 what is the meaning of “the Spirit hovered” over creation? Where in the NT can we find a link between the Holy Spirit and life/creation? [use an electronic concordance to find a NT verse that has both “Spirit” and “life” in it]
When Genesis 1 v2 says The spirit hovered over craetion” it simply means he was observing it and preparing to finish His Creation
In John 1 there is a reference to the deity of Jesus Christ and how it ties in with the Holy Spirit

How do the two accounts of creation in Genesis 1 & 2 differ in style and perspective (e.g., compare God’s involvement in each account: how does He go about the creation of mankind in each chapter that is different?)?
In Genesis one there is a repeating pattern of God speaking and creation happening then repeat. Where in Genesis chapter 2 the text is written as where God is not “speaking” anymore. He is just creating. Chapter one seems to be written more direct and chapter 2 is written more like painting, like God is just painting with a paintbrush.

To whom do each of the pronouns and nouns refer in Genesis 3:15 ("I...you...woman...your offspring...hers...he"; (consult a study Bible or commentary)?

5. What was God’s intended will for the people living in Genesis 11:1-9? How did they intend to foil God’s will? How did God prevent their plans from succeeding and get them to fulfill His plans for them?
God’s will for the people was to go out and be scattered amongst the earth. They wanted to build a giant city so that that would not happen. Their plan was also to build a tower that would extend all the way to the heavens to bring glory to themselves. God ruined there plans when He came down from heaven

    Genesis1&2 and the Enuma Elish share many themes and motivations in their versions of the Earth’s origin. The stories of Genesis come from the Hebrew version of the Bible, a book that was rewritten in the fifth century B.C.E., a time when the people of this faith were exiled in Babylon. This gives the narrative a tone that is important to comprehend, as the reader begins to see creation through the words of a suffering…

    The depictions of the deity portrayed in the first and second creation narratives, acquire similarities but also a lot of differences.

    Standing proudly as two of the great pillars of world literature, particularly ancient world literature, the Book of Genesis and the Epic of Gilgamesh provide a great deal of insight into the nature of early human-animal relationships. In particular, the documentary hypothesis, which persuasively postulates that the Pentateuch is comprised of the writings of four different sources, means that the place and date of authorship of parts within the text (e.g. Genesis 1 and Genesis 2) vary significantly from each other. That said, it is a safe estimate that Genesis 1, which was written by the Priestly source, was composed in approximately 500 BCE by Jewish priests exiled in Babylon (Encyclopedia Britannica). Likewise, Genesis 2, written by the Yahwistic source, dates to around 950 BCE and was produced in Judaea (Encyclopedia…

    Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 share many similarities, but also differ in some respects. Both chapters of the Holy Bible describe the events surrounding the creation of human life, however, Genesis 1 is less detailed. In Genesis 1, it is merely stated (Genesis 1:27) that “God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” Contrastingly, Genesis 2 expands upon this brief depiction, relating the creation in a more detailed fashion. In Genesis 2:7, the creation of man is recounted: “(7) Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being.”…

    This section of the bible explains about Genesis is the book of ‘beginnings’ because the the lines of the opening words are literally translated to “In the beginning of God’s creating.” The first chapter of Genesis therefore rightly contains an account of the creation of the world in ‘six’ stages or days and on the seventh day he rested, which is called “Sabbath”.…

    The Book of Genesis and The Epic of Gilgamesh has many similarities and differences. The stories are so similar that some people believe they are the same but just changed over time. There are speculations that the epic of Gilgamesh was written down first but we cannot be for certain. The Jewish, Muslim, and Christian religions all use this story in their holy books. The book of genesis could have very well have been written first or it was passed orally till someone wrote it down. So one story could have branched off and changed from one another or there could have been two floods. There are multiple possibilities to the origin of the stories. When people pass down stories orally things get changed from the original over a long period of time one could have changed the whole story. You can see the similarities of the stories that would make you think they were the same. Then when you break down the differences it makes it harder to believe that.…

    The first and second creation stories provide contrasting information about God. In the first creation story, God observes from above, an earth without form or shape, and darkness over the abyss. He begins creation by uttering the words, “Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3). God speaks outside of creation, and creates the world and its inhabitants from above, distant, and beyond us. One example of God’s transcendence in the first creation story is how God creates humans from a distant vantage point, saying, “let us make human beings in our image” (Genesis 1:26). The first creation story describes a transcendent God that looks down upon his creations from above. In the second creation story, when God created vegetation, he “planted a garden” (Genesis 2:8). Next, when God created humankind, he “formed the man...and…

    Are there differences in the inspired narratives of Genesis 1 and 2? Of course there are. Many also scholars argue that Genesis 1:1-2:4a and Genesis 2:4b-25 are products of two different sources. It reflect different authors, different time periods, etc. It is further charged that the narratives contradict each other in several particulars. Genesis 1 and 2 provide accounts of what God did during creation. But these two chapters don’t seem to agree. It seem like Genesis 1:1-2:4a and Genesis 2:4b-2 are different from each other in many ways. First, each of these two sections of Genesis contains a different introduction for the creation story. Genesis 1 launches with the eloquent and imminently quotable, "In the beginning God created the heavens…

    Gilgamesh vs Genesis

    • 639 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Genesis, the first book of the Old Testament in the Bible, is so named because it opens with an account of the creation of the world. The first 11 chapters, which are heavily indebted to Mesopotamian tradition, trace the gradual expansion of humankind and the development of human culture. But they show the ambiguity of this development by incorporating stories about the sin of Adam and Eve and about the Deluge, both of which illustrate humankind's growing alienation from God and one another. Although Moses has traditionally been considered the author of Genesis, modern scholars generally agree that the book is a composite of at least three different literary strands: J (10th century BC), E (9th century), and P (5th century). The interpretation of the book has led to many controversies. One of the most difficult problems has been distinguishing historical fact from symbolic narration intended to convey a religious message.…

    God the Holy Spirit

    Scripture views the Holy Spirit as God. Paul referred to Him as the “Spirit of Life” (Romans 8:2). The Holy Spirit is also referred to as the truth, “Spirit of truth” (John 16:13). Many expressions, such as “love of the Spirit” (Romans 15:30) and “the Holy Spirit of God” (Ephesians 4:30), reveal that love and holiness are a part of His nature. The Holy Spirit is omnipotent, He gives spiritual gifts “to each one individually as He wills” (1 Corinthians 12:11). He is also omnipresent, He is with His people “forever.” None can escape His influence (Psalms 139:7-10). The Holy Spirit is also omniscient, because “the Spirit searches all things, yes the deep things of God” and “no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God” (1 Corinthians 2:10, 11). The Holy Spirit is considered to be equal with the Father and the Son in the baptismal form, the apostolic blessing, and the spiritual gifts enclosed.…
