TheMadame:
Please can someone enlighten on why there appear to be two creation stories?
Why God did not know that man~Adam and Eve would eat from the forbidden fruit,when they lacked the knowledge of good and bad. Or was it freewill at work?
I would appreciate answers from those who are more enlightened.
Thank you.

CodeTemplar:
Genesis chapter 1 and 2 are not two different accounts but two chronologically overlapping and complementary accounts. Chapter one stresses creation pattern, and chapter two relates formation pattern to created things and creatures.

I implore OP to study it again but slowly and carefully.

Formation is of the flesh. Creation of the spirit.

@Themadame,

I suggest you goggle ENUMA ELISH BOOK. The Bible genesis stories such as the creation,Tower of Babel and Noah flood stories are plagiarism of ancient Babylonian stories. Most of these stories had existed in one form or the other eons before the bible.
When you understand that most of the books In the biblical cannon are ascribed to names of people who did NOT write the books,a whole lot of the mystery is simplified.
The Bible books are simply clever and careful plagiarism of ancient stories. Once you understand and accept this everything will fall into place and you will begin your journey to freedom from indoctrination.

Caveatemptor:
What does it for me is this verse in chapter two. How does an omnipotent god have to rest?
I have always been worried about this verse even when I was a child.

ReacherSaidNoth:
The simple answer is that it is badly written mythology. Another part of the creation story that should give you pause is that plantlife came into existence before there was even a sun.

Veecruz:


The simple answer is you wish it not to be true. And common sense would have told you that things are first created and sustained before being put in a system.

ReacherSaidNoth:
Your education has been a waste...spits.

Veecruz:

Your insult just proves how you had nothing in the first place

ReacherSaidNoth:
You are right. There is no way I can get through to someone who has been spoon fed baseless fables since infancy and has had not even a basic education in science.

Veecruz:


And yet with all your education you could not counter. Rather you resorted to insults

If you had any thing you would have said so that in the end we would all see that you are right. But you have nothing hence your resort to insults

ReacherSaidNoth:
Plants require sunlight for growth and also for photosynthesis, even children in elementary school know this. Now in your holy book which is supposed to be free of error, you're told that not only was the earth in existence before the sun, a life form which could not survive without the sun, was created before it. Do you see the problem?

Veecruz:


Only for continuous living like a car needs fuel and a phone needs it's charger and appropriate electricity current. But when they are created, they created to live first, then they can be put in an environment that guarantees their continuous good living. Just like God that is how many of the things we have created also first started.

Our phones were already created and living before the chargers where made. Same for our cars which definitely require fuels the oils to keep living.

mbaise1000:


The answers are linked, first the account started I genesis 1: 1 "in the beginning" it NEVER said when that beginning was, remember that it has been proved that the world is millions of years, in that begining, it said that the earth was void, which means that the world did not start at that time but we Christians the story from the account God gave to Moses and our story started from there, we may not know what happened to the world BEFORE God started again but we should know that the bible said that God created us and everything for his own pleasure and purpose, we cannot ask God why
This will bring us to the second question why God didn't know that Adam and Eve will disobey him, if we believe that God knows everyone of us even before we are born, if we believe that God is all knowing, we must accept that it was God who put the serpent on the garden with Adam and Eve, it was Him too that planted that apple in that garden, that He knows exactly what is going to happen and how and has a plan ALREADY, He ALREADY had Jesus Christ in mind, nomy pastor will say that the world is a film and God is the director and it's Him that wrote the script and gave every actor the part He or she will act, and he said that the name of that film is REDEMPTION.
THAT God simply want to manifest his attributes, He was the one who ordered Israel to pass through difficult paths on their way back to the promised land when there are easier and faster and safer ways, it's Him that said for this purpose I created pharoah to show my power,
to be continued.
Let me go and watch again and come back

Veecruz:


No two stories only one.

Did God not say, "dont eat"?
