Genesis 2?

Question

What is the difference between the Genesis account of creation and the one in Genesis 2?

Answer 1

Hello Yazzy.

The ansvver to your question plain and simple is Genesis 1 is The CREATION, DESTRUCTION and RECREATION. Genesis 2 is vvhat follovvs, The FORMATION and the events that follovv the CREATION and The FORMATION.

Overvievv of Chapter 1:
1)Everything is, yet nothing is. The timeless and the unknovvable/uncomprehendable.

2)Seperation/Duality and *process* of life (based on time). Light came to be and the light vvas called Day and the darkness vvas called Night.

3)About 6 days of Creation from the reckoning of the Creator's time (about 6,000 years). Man did not make nor named--by numbers--the days, 1)because it is vvritten *the CREATOR named them*, and 2)man had not yet been.

4)*Man* is *Created* male *and* female (not man and vvoman) after everything else. Male *and* female *Created* HE (the Creator) *Them*.

5)History vvithin *this* history (Genesis) is disclosed about an ancient life that had been destroyed (Gen. 1:28 *RE*plenish. Look that vvord up. This is an accurate translation of the Hebrevv scriptures).

6)Day 6. This is vvhen everything has already been created according to time (vvhich is based on the movement of matter).


Overvievv of Chapter 2:
1)The Creator finishes his *Creations* on the 7th day. This is the day of rest (about the 7,000th year).

2)The heavens and the earth vvere complete. Plants and herbs vvere in the eath but Man vvas not *in the earth*.

3)Man vvas *formed* of dust, becoming a *living* soul.

4)The Creator planted a garden in Eden. There the Creator *put* the man vvhich vvas formed.

5)The Creator caused the ground to grovv trees and food.

6)Also the tree of life, and the tree of good and evil.

7)A river came out of Eden and vvas parted.

8)The Man vvas given instructions.

9)A helpmeet vvas made for him.

10)Out of the ground the Creator *formed* every beast and foul and Adam named them.

11)The man slept vvhile a rib vvas taking out of him in vvhich the vvoman vvas made and brought unto him.

Hope this ansvvers your question. Take care.

Answer 2

The two accounts of creation is Genesis is a common literary device used hundreds of times on the Bible - 16 more just in the book of Genesis.

The scriptures will often give a quick overview of an event, and then go back to concentrate on the most important point in the event. It is usually marked with a transistional phrase such as "the generations of", which you will find in Genesis 2.

The same device is used in almost every newspaper report. The journalist gives an overview of the story in the opening paragraph, then goes back to give the details from most to least important in the rest of the article.

Genesis 1 gives an overview of the creation of the heaven and earth, concluding with the creation of man. Genesis 2 then goes back to give greater detail on the creation of man. While Genesis 1 covers the "whole universe". Genesis 2 tells only about the creation of a specific location on the earth called the Garden.

In Genesis 1 God creates plant life on the earth in day three. In Genesis 2 God plants a Garden in a specific location and fills it with the plants man would need. No contradiction, just two different events.
In Genesis 1, God creates animal life on days five and six before he makes man.
In Genesis 2, God recreates within the garden those animals those animals which would share it with man. No contradiction. Two different events.
In Genesis 1, God is shown to have created both male and female.
In Genesis 2, the details of how he made them, and that there was a slight separation between their creation is given. No contradiction. Just more detail.

If you carefully compare the overview of the creation of the heavens and the earth in chapter 1 with the details on the creation of the Garden in chapter 2, you will find no contradiction between them. Chapter 2 just gives the details of a small section of chapter 1's day six.

Answer 3

They are both lies and truths mixed, however God the Father created, His Son Jesus made from the things that the Father created.

The Father created male and female, not man and woman.
The truth can be found starting in Revelation 12 through 16.

Eve was made first not Adam, men did not want to give women a higher position than men. But if you read the 4 Gospels you will see that when the Holy Spirit, brought a message from heaven, men were always sleeping or fell down as if they were dead. Women on the other hand when the Holy Spirit brought them a message, they were wide awake and did as the Holy Spirt commanded them.

Genesis 1 is about the 1st and 2nd Ages (Seals). The first Age God created a totally green earth. The second Age God created the Land of Nod (India) Genesis 2 is about the 3rd Age (seal) Jesus made the Garden of Eden. The 4th Age (Seal) is about Noah's flood and the 5th Age (Seal) starts with Abraham, Moses is about the middle of the 5th Age and Jesus came at the beginning of the 7 Season (Season of Rest) but before the beginning of the 6th Age (1st Season of Labor).

There are 7 Seasons, (days) 6 Seasons (days) of Labor and 1 Season (day) of Rest, however the first 4 Ages had no Season of Rest, because the red dragon, the serpent, Satan, the devil, destroyed the world at the season of rest, God took 6 days to create the earth in the 1st Age, and 6 days to recreate the earth in the 2nd Age, living only the day of rest, for labor, and no labor, (spreading His commandments). God the Father wrote His commandments in our hearts and minds, not on stone, when our spirits were born in His image.

There 49 generations to an Age, from Abraham until Jesus was 42 generations, Jesus came to give Rest.

The "rapture" as christians call it is the day of the "BLESSES" and Jesus told us it would come in 70 generation or the year 2800 AD.

READ Revelations 12 through 16 it starts with Eve, Jesus and the 12 apostles, then the red dragon being tossed out of heaven, this is in the beginning. God the separates the Light (His Truth) from Satan's Darkness (Satan's lies). It is all here in Revelation 12 and in the order that it happened.

We are now at the end of the 6th Age (Seal) and the first bowl has been cast down.

The next major event to happen, is the 10 king shall fall to Gog and Magog, and the 7th king shall give way to the 8th king.

The 6th Age (seal) ended 1960, since 1960 the U.S. has had 9 presidents, the 10th president, the next president of the U.S. shall fall economically and militarily to Asaia and Russia

The 7th pope shall give way to the 8th pope and the 8th pope shall be the anti-christ.

End of Days will be 2940 AD

Answer 4

If you remember that a good chunk of the Bible is written in the format of talking about a subject in one chapter and then a little later it goes back to elaborate on what it had said earlier. you will see that there are no contradictions in the Bible. This is the same in Genesis same in Revelation as well as Daniel and many other book in the Bible.

Answer 5

Genesis 1 account is more expansive where as Genesis 2 account is more detailed.

They do not contradict each other.

Answer 6

To the person above -- perhaps you should read Genesis 2 more carefully. It actually does not say that humans were created before animals. It does say that Adam couldn't find a suitable companion from among them, so God created Eve.

Answer 7

Absolutely nothing.

Genesis 1 is an "overview" of the creation week.

Genesis 2 goes into more detail.

There are no contradictions.

Answer 8

when man was created man was created and everything else on earth for him in gen2 but in gen1 man was created to look after the rest of creation although gen 2 is the creation of eden

Answer 9

of course there are contradictions!

1 says animals were made before humans
2 says humans were made before animals

hello?

To the person who claimed Genesis 2 does not say man was before animal, explain this:

15And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

16And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

18And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

19And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
