Comparison of Genesis

The story of inception begins with contemporaries 1 and 2, it exempts how the world and its aliment inhabitants were created from gods touch. From Genesis 1 we see how the sky, seas, vote out, animals, and mankind were created. still Genesis 2 focuses more on the first of mankind, known as hug drug and Eve and how they are do to be. In this paper I willing compare Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 and what the main idea for creation is in each one, how invariably in my opinion there is no contradiction between the 2. Genesis 2 merely fills in the details that are headlined in Genesis.In Genesis 1 we learn how God created the earth and the living things on it and what order they came to be in. The elements were created in the following order Light first and darkness second marking the first day (Gen 13), farming and seas on the second day (Gen 19), and the seasons on the fourth day (Gen 114). The living things were created in this order Vegetation and plants were first on the trini ty day (Gen 111), animals were second on the fifth and ordinal days (Gen 120), male human kind was made third on the sixth day (Gen 127), and fin entirelyy female human kind was made fourth and last on the sixth day as well (Gen 127).Genesis 1 briefly tells us that man was made in Gods chain, made male and female, and given dominion over the animals (Gen 126). In Genesis 2 we merely go more into depth of the making of man and woman. Genesis 2 shows us HOW man was made in Gods image. I believe man is made a three-fold being with a body that touches the physical realm, a spirit that touches the spiritual/moral realm, and a soul/ headway that links them in the mental realm. Just as God appears as the Father in the spiritual realm, the Son in the physical realm, and the Holy temperament in the hearts and minds of men.This is a great similarity and I believe it is there for a reason. But we need not get far into that and turbid the waters so to speak (sarcasm). In Genesis 1 God was h ere on the earth, He hovered over water in Eden (Gen 12). God similarly began the process of creation, and began creating the earth. Not only did He create the earth, only if He created mankind and animals. In this chapter it speaks of man being made in Gods image which is very intriguing, God created everything, just mankind is the only thing He created to be alike(p) Him. God gave us the hazard to be in His likeness.Not only is that an opportunity, but it is an honor to know that God cares so much about mankind that He wants us to be like Him. In Genesis 2 God breathes breath into mankind, God is physi bodey in the presence of mankind at this point. He did not come in the form of Jesus, but in the form of which He is, God. God is closer to mankind than ever forwards in twain of these chapters. Also, God gives a shew to Adam in Genesis 2, which is not something that He does in Genesis 1. Almost immediately after breathing life into Adam God gives him work.I fuck off this i nteresting because since the beginning God has been working on everything himself, and now he is telling Adam to work. Adam is made in Gods image and he works almost immediately after coming to life. God not only made man in His image physique wise, but in all other aspects. One thing I learned from Genesis 2 is that God has a standard for mankind, and that He expects man to school care of what He gives man. (Gen 215). God was with Adam, and even though God was a companion for Adam, Adam needed more. God saw this and blessed Him with Eve.Throughout these two chapters you get to see how creative God can be, and how much He cares about mankind. God wanted Adam to be happy, and fulfilled. God had just met Adam in physical form and gave him all the desires of his heart. I find this amazing because how often does mankind cater to the needs and wants of one another, but God is ever so giving. I have been contemplating another theory as well that could explain the different focuses on Gen esis 1 and Genesis 2. What if they were written by two different authors?Another possibility is that there were two stories being told and the writer could not decide which one to put in the bible, so he put both. Though there are two clashing stories, the basic idea for this story of creation can still be seen. This might explain why Genesis 1 has a broader spectrum of creation and why Genesis 2 focuses mainly on the creation of man. In Genesis 1 the call of man are not even mentioned. In Genesis 2 however we come to learn that their names are Adam (male) and Eve (female).Also in Genesis 2 we learn exactly how Eve is created Goad takes a rib from Adam and makes Eve from that rib. Then she is called woman, because she is made from man (Gen 223). This appears nowhere in Genesis 1. Another possibility is that Genesis was also put in the Bible to show us how important the creation of man was. afterwards all we are the only things that God created in his image (Gen 126). God makes a g arden in Eden and puts Adam in the east part of Eden to care over and keep it in order. He then instructs him about what trees to eat from and which to not eat from.Before God makes him a avail (on the 6th day) he brings all the creatures to Adam to name all the animals and birds (Gen 215). Then God reflects back at what he previously made before man. (Gen 124-25 explains the creatures made from the earth according to its kind) and has Adam name them before he puts him asleep to operate on him to give him his wife (Gen 221). Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and b rought them to Adam to see what he would call them. (Gen 219).They were seen by Adam and named, which brought the conclusion that he needed a helper his wife Eve. Without Eve Adam would never be able to prosper, also he loves Eve. This explains why a man leaves his father and his mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one. Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame. (Gen 225). To me this is a very important detail that is left out in Genesis 1. You cannot come to understand the power God has bestowed upon man and what man needs without Genesis 2.That is why I believe both creation accounts are included in the bible. We needed to have a better understanding of the beginning of the human race. Without a start how can we ever finish and go up into the kingdom of God? God made us in his image for a reason, and that reason was for us to rule over the other living thing on earth and almost be shepherd like, but do so without sin. We must be pure and we must be faithful, that is the path to heaven. Both creation accounts explain how we came to be.But the first creation account is broader ranging and more of an overview, explaining the creation of night and day, land, sky, seas, seasons, plants, animals, and man. The second creation account focuses on the creation of humans, but also covers the growing of plants and the creation of animals. In both cases, the basics were already there in the first account, the waters, the wind that blew across the water and the land underneath in the second creation account, the dry land was there, but plants had not grown because God had yet to make it rain. So there were only very minutedifferences between the two, but the same concept was shared. Genesis 2 recaps the creation week and provides extra details on Adam and Eves mode of creation and of their home in Eden. Genesis 1 sets out all of the creative work in order. Both deal with the same story but with different emphasis of the detail. To conclude, both of these chapters summarize God creating the world, and show the subscriber how creative, considerate, loving, and how all powerful God really is.
