Genesis 1:1-2 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. ...there must also be a change in subject between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2? I think a few people here would disagree with that deduction, but I accept your answer. NO MISTAKES or contradictions in the KJV Bible. Thank you for the answer Last edited by geologist; 03-15-2009 at 06:31 AM. Reason: correction |

What do you see in those two verses, that would form a contradiction. And how do you interpret them?.
Parallelisms do not apply in every case, only where they are evident. |

Now wait a minute, hold your horses, stop the parade... I answered the question clearly in post no. 7, and Swordsman echoed my answer in post no. 15. At that point you stated "your answer makes the most sense, so far." So it's obvious the answer has been provided brother. There isn't a flaw in it, and there are no contradictions in Genesis either. I can certainly understand how one could get confused over it, but some careful study and the Holy Spirit taught me this a long time ago. Did you honestly start this thread thinking there were contradictions in your Bible? I doubt it, since you already stated "no mistakes." It's a good question though. Last edited by Bro.

Perhaps we should conduct a poll: "Who reads the last post on a page?" |

I contend it is not a different creation account. Consider, did God create Eve at the same time as Adam, as in Genesis 1, or later, as in Genesis 2? I believe Genesis 1 is a summary account, with Genesis 2 further explaining the details. Gen 2:19a is just a recap and not an indication of any animals created after man. |

Genesis 1 Order
Day 1 - Earth, Light Day 2 - Firmament Day 3 - Dry Land and Herbs Day 4 - Stars Planets etc Day 5 - Birds, Fish Day 6 - Beasts of Earth, Man and Woman Genesis 2 Order The account begins with Day 6 in Gen 2:7 Gen 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. Gen 2:5 places the time period AFTER day 3, Gen 2:4 places it after day 4 (the heavens, plural) and Gen 2:7 confirms it as day 6. Gen 2:8 is God creating the garden in Eden. Herbs and greenery were already everywhere else, as seen in verse 5. God then proceeds to create great rivers the spring forth from the centre of Eden and go out. This means one of two things. Either Eden had a supernatural spring that came forth from somewhere (perhaps a Rock), or it was a massive area with a mountain range in it. Verse 19, God forms animals Gen 2:19 And 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. The order contradicts Genesis 1 - beasts first, birds second, and no fish (interestingly enough, no fish is named in the Bible except the whale, which God named himself in Genesis 1). In Genesis 2:19 Adam is already created. This is a seperate account. This is not the same account as Gen 1, because Adam was created AFTER the birds and AFTER the beasts. Here, we have God creating them in front of, or very near Adam, and Adam names them. So to sum up again - God creates everything in Genesis 1. Genesis 1 gives the correct order of creation. Genesis 2 gives more detail in regards to DAY 6, covering not only man's creation, but also how God created him (from dust, and breathed into him the breath of life), and how God created woman from man, and why. Genesis 2 is not an overview of Day 1 through 6, but only Day 6. |

I was honestly looking for the answer to this particular question, but I did so in full faith, knowing that there was an answer out there. And there was. |

Here's a question...
Can you guys think of some other special creatures that God may have "whipped up" or "specially made" after the main creation for various purposes? |
