genesis is not about the beginning of everything!!

[Fryer Good Shepherd]

My dear friends,

it has been a while but here i am again with some great insights.
I just came to the conclusion while reading the KJV that Genesis is not the first book of the Bible!! Moreover, Genesis is not the story about the creation of the world, but the story of a new beginning...
The creation it speaks of is a creation against the chaos of Babylon not of our earth.
Read Jeremiah chapter 4, 23. and compare this with Genesis 1, 2.
The only places in the bible where it says that the earth was without form, and voyd.
The Prophet Jeremiah states in his book that Babylon destroyed the Holy Land, Jerusalem: I beheld the earth, and loe, it was without forme and void: and the heauens, and they had no light. People made a chaos and had no hope anymore.
Genesis answer was: it is not over yet!! There is still hope!! What are we going to do? Are we going to help in the destruction of the world or are we going to change things around here?
In conclusion: Genesis does not tell the story about the beginning of everything, rather about a new beginning after the chaos of Babylon!!

What do you guys think about this?

Bless,

FGS

I think all that is silly cos Genesis is the start of the Bible then is the beginning, I mean are you think that Goerge Lukas write the Bible like he satr whit the episode 5 and the do 6 and then go back and do a bit about Manakin Eskywalcker and do Episode 1 and the 2 and then show Yabba de Hutt like really young and confuse everybody whiit all the contradicts, well I have a news for you mister, GOD is no like that cos in the beginning and all that OK?

Thanks, glad you understand this.

YIC, Mari

Re: genesis is not about the beginning of everything!!

Your argument would be more persuasive if Genesis did not start thusly:

(Genesis 1:1) "In the beginning..."

Great point, María! The Bible isn't Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction either, where all the scenes are all out of order and you have people overdosing on heroin and black guys getting raped by white men.

That would never happen in the Bible, because God doesn't need to rely on fancy MTV style editing or pornography to tell His story!

I wanted to post this great insight in another forum, but for some reason, I was not allowed.

Re: genesis is not about the beginning of everything!!

Interesting theory, but obviously wrong. Like it's been pointed out, look at the first three words of Genesis. Also, note it's the first book of the Bible. But, most importantly, if this theory were true, it would turn the Bible into some time-warping psychedelic science fiction tale.

Think about the implications of this for a second. Genesis tells the creation account and also teaches about the first man, Adam. Furthermore, the Bible is very clear that Adam had descendents including Noah, King David, and Jesus Himself. So all the stories about these people, including our Lord, would have to happen in the future. (Remember, Genesis hasn't happened yet, in your theory). Actually, the entire Bible would take place in the future.

And yet, the Bible is an accurate historical record. For example, even secular historians would tell you that there was a King Herod and that the Romans ruled Judea around the time of Christ. So, does that mean there's going to be some kind of clone Herod and a clone Roman Army stomping over Jerusalem in 2238 A.D.?

This goes to show what happens when you try to "interpret" the Bible instead of taking for what it is: the literal Word of God. This is not The Matrix, Neo.

Interesting theory

Thank You

Genesis tells the creation account and also teaches about the first man, Adam.

You should read the bible better. Genesis teaches not about the first man in general but aboutthe first man created in God's own image! Namely a righteous and respectful dude. Not them Babylonian filthy scum.
Get your facts straight Ozzy!

Peace,

Righteous and respectful dude? You mean the same "dude" that willingly disobeyed God and ate the fruit which resulted in him getting expelled from the Garden and thus creating original sin?

Also, you have failed to address the issue of Adam's descendents.

Re: genesis is not about the beginning of everything!!

Also, you have failed to address the issue of Adam's descendents.

I will try to address that particular issue only if you can give me a clear answer where, for example, Cains wife comes from. If all men and races descended from Adam, like you claim, where does that woman from Genesis 4, 17 come from? She surely isn't mentioned before and she surely is no daughter from Adam and Eve.

she surely is no daughter from Adam and Eve.

Prove it.

What do you mean? You are the one contradicting the Word of God. The burden of proof lies upon you.
