THE BOOK OF GENESIS.
The Book of Genesis is traditionally attributed to Moses, a prophet who led the Israelites out of Egypt, but it was written anonymously. However, some scholars believe that Moses may not have written Genesis firsthand because the events in the book occurred before his time. Instead, he may have relied on historical sources and revelation. The Book of Genesis is the first book of the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, which also includes Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. These books are also known as the Torah. Until the late 19th century, most biblical scholars believed that Moses wrote the Pentateuch. Some say that the New Testament also references Moses' writing in the Pentateuch, and that Jesus himself said that Moses wrote about him. However, others, like the JEDP hypothesis, question the authenticity of Genesis, suggesting that it may be more of a legendary work than a historical document.
SO MOSES WRITES ABOUT CREATION STORY.
[1] In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. [2] Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

In Genesis Chapter 1:26-28 God said let us make man in our own image. This is the beginning of human being life on earth. God the triun ie the father, the son and the holy spirit was in charge of creating man on the fifth day. After creation, God gave mankind authority to rule over all the creatures on earth. Let me quate the verses that give us this information.
Genesis 1:26-31 NIV
[26] Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” [27] So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. [28] God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” [29] Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. [30] And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so. [31] God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

The whole creation activity took six days and on the seventh day God had to rest. This was the day God decided to rest from the work that been done in six days. So he made the seventh day to be holy.The bible does not give the name of the day as whether it was Sunday or not. This is why many believers around the world give a seventh day of the week, a name Sunday and a holy day for resting after a week of working.

ReplyDeleteIn Genesis God created our physical bodies from the dust. He created only man knowing that man will be "alone" and it will not be "good".
ReplyDeleteGen. 2:18 And Jehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.
He had to make man "not good" because He wanted all to know how His Being Exists. As One Person only.
But He also showed us that He will make Himself a Companion from "His bones".
Gen. 2:21 And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof: 22 and the rib, which Jehovah God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And the man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
