Ethnicity The two creation stories in the Bible have caused a lot of questions. I never looked at the Bible and realized these mythical stories of the creation of the world. The creation stories (Genesis 1-2.4a and Genesis 2.4b-25) have been the same to me‚ and I believed like many other people the two stories emphasize what God created.

On the contrary‚ some verses in the Bible appear to support the idea that Christians who commit suicide go to hell. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 (ESV) discusses the fact that a person’s body belongs to God and that anyone who destroys it will be destroyed themselves.
