Genesis 1:27 ?

Question

It says in Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth..

Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him: male and female crated he them

Could that be the Angels since me made Heaven beofore he made Earth?

SO he made heaven and earth, then the angels then Adam and Eve?

Genesis 2"7
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.

That Adam

Answer 1

Job 38:4-7[The Angel saw earth become the focus for domestication];

John 17:3,5,24[Jesus was with God before The world was.

Adam and Eve was Created in Day six, Gen 2:2,4[Heb.4:1-12]; All is supposed to be saved before the end of day seven, then we have a new heavens and a new earth.

Answer 2

No the entire bible describes Adam as the first man... Yes God created heavens angels before he created man..Each of these refer to the creation of man. But man was made in the image of God. God created man in the image of God he formed his flesh from the earth breathed in the spirit and the two became a living soul.

Answer 3

Genesis and many other part of the Hebrew Scriptures are combinations of two different vesions of stories. The Genesis 1:27 passage is refering to humans not angels and the passage about Adam and Eve is the second creation of man story. If you read closely there are two creation stories, two flood stories, even two versions of the ten commandments. Biblican history is amazingly interesting and a reminder that the Bible is the word of man, not of God.

P.S. Though it never says that angels have a gender there is a passage about angels raping women...so it seems like they did at least have some gender affiliation if they had the equipment to rape.

Answer 4

Where it says that God created male and female this was the six day creation. He gave them dominion over the animals and the birds and the plant life. God sent them on there way telling them to replenish the earth, Did you catch that word replenish, it means the there were people walking the earth before this creation.


In the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth. For who you might add. It was for the first earth age .

God destroyed that first earth age and a second earth age has begun the one we live in..

Answer 5

If you read further in verse 28...It says "to be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth."

So to answer your question, verse 27 is about Adam and Eve because they lived here on the earth, not the angels.

Answer 6

I don't know which verse you're saying refers to angels, but it seems like good logic that after he created the heavens, he created angels, and after the angels at some point, whether it was before or after the earth, he created Adam and Eve. That's the way I've always understood it.

Answer 7

God created the Angels before man, yes.

Answer 8

in the original language, the word in Genesis is elohim, which is plural for God(s). Most Bibles go from saying "God" (elohim) in chapter one to the "Lord God" in Chapter 2, which in the original language reads YHVH elohim - so chapter one talks about the whole world - different gods for different people (let us make man in our image), which is why when Adam (which in Hebrew means mankind) and Eve left the Garden there were people all around who had been given celestial knowledge as well (astronomy, weaponry, sciences, math) - which must have been by their elohim.
YHVH makes a point to say I am the God amongst gods, and proves it by overpowering the gods (hosts) of the Egyptians as well as Baal and others - and makes a commandment put no other gods before me, and states I am the Lord of Hosts, etc.
There are also numerous references in the Bible to the nephilim, which literally means fallen angels. I forgot the exact spelling on nepha/napha (fallen), but it combines with elohim to make the word nephilim.

Answer 9

No. God created man in His image. If it were angels, He would have said that, because He does mention angels in the bible, but not regaurding this verse.

Answer 10

1:27 is referring to creating man in that chapter, however angels were created first, they had to have been.
