Genesis 2 Vs Bible

163 Words1 Pages
The Bible provides a second perspective on God’s creation of His human creatures, an account that can be found in Genesis 2. Whereas the first account focused on God’s daily activity in creating the entire universe and everything in it, the second seeks to highlight even more God’s intimate work in creating male and female. It’s here that we learn the name of the first man, Adam (we’ll learn the first woman’s name, Eve, in chapter 3), and hear how God Himself serves as minister and witness at their marriage, and places them into their first home, a wonderful garden. The garden narrative is a study in contrasts, however. First, it shows how carefully and lovingly God gave both Adam and Eve life and they needed in order to enjoy that life to

“I like to be somewhere at least where you can see a few girls around once in a while, even if they’re only scratching their arms or blowing their noses or even just giggling or something” (3). The narrator, Holden Caulfield, describes an aspect of his character through this confession. Obviously, he is interested in girls and desires them at all times. During the 1950s when this novel was published, having such desires would not have been approved of by the parents of the time due to the increasing social pressures of society. A majority of these adults would have considered Caulfield a terrible role model and would not have wanted the youth to read about him wanting to look at girls.

Alan Jon Hauser contends that the theme of intimacy in Genesis 2 (God's creation of man and woman) is intertwined with the theme of alienation in Genesis 3 (man and woman's original sin against God). This dual theme, argues Hauser, integrates the narrative and is used as a literary device by the author to reveal the disruption of order that occurs in day-to-day life. While Hauser's analysis focuses on the disorder that apparently results from the sin of Adam and Eve, other critics view the end of this tale somewhat differently. Dan E. Burns studies the inconsistencies within this myth, finding that they are only problematic when viewed from a logical, rather than literary, standpoint. Burns concludes that the tale is best viewed as an awakening,

It is noteworthy that this story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is the foundation of the religion with the largest number of followers worldwide. Why does it continue to resonate with so many people even today? The reason is that this utopia contains archetypes that reflect the collective unconscious that is found across all cultures. This is the result of universal themes in this story about humanity’s needs and desires that we still see occurring in our society today. The story of Genesis contains three archetypal characteristics that illustrate these patterns that still demonstrate humanity’s needs.

Genesis chapter 2, explains the creation of man on the sixth day and also the creation of woman. Some scholars have supposed that this is a second creation account and Genesis chapter 1 creation of man is the first creation account. After God created Adam, he allowed him to give the name for all animals. And he commanded not to eat the fruit of the knowledge of Good and evil.

We will soon learn that Eve had been more than lied to. Blinded by his lies this again will be Satan’s first attempt to destroy the seed line that was to lead to the birth of Jesus. “The Man Adam” had now gone against God and thus brought “The Sin”, which is death to the whole Earth including the sixth day creation “Mankind”. To really understand what happened in the Garden of Eden will be revealed in Chapter 7 “Apple or the Truth 7. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; (shame and “The Sin” had come to the 2nd Earth Age); and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.- Not covers for their mouth they had not eaten an “apple” as falsely taught.

The Garden of Eden was created in a perfect world, no pain or sadness. Both novels’ characterization of their landscape is quite utopic of the higher power. Although Daphnis and Chloe have definite variations from the story of creation, its allusions to the bible throughout its text demonstrate a sense of underlining seriousness, much greater than

The relationship between these two people can be quite controversial because the story implies that man is superior to woman. It is somewhat implied because God made Eve out of one of Adam’s ribs. Genesis 2:18 states, “Then the Lord God said, it is not good that the man should be alone, I will make a helper fit for him” (English Standard Version). This verse tells believers that having a relationship with other people is vital for our lives and for our walk with Christ. However, human relationship can easily turn south due to our sinful nature.

Philosophical skepticism represents the idea that knowledge, such as the existence of an external world, cannot be known for certain. If we were to stipulate a that it is possible for God (or another omnipotent being) to exist, we can derive a skeptical hypothesis for the case where the world exists but was created only yesterday. In the Genesis creation myth¹, it is said that God created the Heavens and the Earth in six days, resting on the seventh. When the stars were created, their light had to be visible from Earth to light up the Heavens.
