    You've certainly learned a few very good points about God, Nicole!

    What does God's decision to drown all the babies who hadn't sinned yet, and all the animals, because the adults disobeyed Him, tell you about Him?

    What do you learn about God from the Garden of Eden, in which Adam and Eve couldn't know right from wrong until they'd eaten the fruit from the forbidden tree?

    I don't think you've gotten to Jacob and Esau yet. Of that pair, what attributes of Jacob do you think God liked so He chose Jacob over Esau?
    It's a sad topic to speak on. He only had a handful of people working for him so he couldn't really save them

    The Garden of Eden? God loves us and doesn’t leave us. The driving out could’ve also been a form of discipline. But it’s a short story so I can’t come up with a long answer.

    Jacob and Esau?
    Esau was a cunning hunter, favored by his father, didn't see the importance of his birthright, got angry and plotted to kill his brother after having his blessing stolen.

    Jacob was an ordinary man, favored by his mother, had gifts and a heart that were in the wrong place and he obeyed his parents... but God put him in a place where only honesty could help him.

    You know, I think I might take a chance and give my life to Jesus. Can anyone show me how this is done?

    Are my pointers good? I mean I want to be sure I'm on the right track.

    I'm sure we all look forward to hearing what you learn about God from the book of Genesis, Nicole.
    There was an awful lot of reading so I wasn't able to get through the whole book today (more tomorrow) but here's a some points I put down:


    1. God created the Earth perfectly, humankind messed it up and he punished them, he didn't abandon them.
    2. When we give to the Lord he wants the best and the first not second best.
    3. God can deal heavy judgement... but I noticed that the type of judgement depends on the circumstances and the sin.
    4. The Lord undid the terrible act of Cain and Abel with the birth of Seth.
    5. God will bare with sinners for only so long before a line is drawn (The city of Sodom/ the great flood)
    6. God keeps his promises
    7. God hears our cries of pain (Hagar)
    8. God protects and blesses those he loves
    9. God is always doing something new
    10. God has a plan


    I'm interested now

    Wonderful! Nicole, you do realize that the entire host of Heaven will sing with joy if you come to the Lord, right?

    Why not try my Getting to Know God© Bible Study Program?

    Step 1: Obtain a Bible, preferably King James.

    Step 2: Obtain a notebook or notepad.

    Step 3: Read Genesis 1.

    Step 4: In your notebook, write down what story you just read and where in the Bible it is. (e.g. Genesis 1: Creation.)

    Step 5: Write down what the story told you about God. Whom does He love? Whom does He hate? What things please or displease Him?

    Step 6: Repeat Steps 3-5 for succeeding chapters of the Bible.

    Just completing the Getting to Know God program for the book of Genesis -- the work of an afternoon -- will paint for you a picture of God like you've never known, Nicole! You will be on your way to an intimate knowledge of God, who is truly nothing like the omnibenevolent wish-granting genie that many preachers would have you worship!
    Thank you, I'll definatly give it a go.

    Right, look! Go and read the Bible. Start at Genesis 1 then read it. We're not here to puppy walk people looking for gotchas. Look at all the actual evidence for the real living God. It will all start to make sense why there are so many people confused about what God is because they simply don't know because they never read the Bible. At first it will surprise you because people have been lying to you about God for so long but once the reality of God hits you between the eyes and you know for real how much people have been lying to you about God and just making stuff up that makes them feel all warm and fluffy inside you might be ready to be a warrior for God's true nature.
