and crowned him with glory and honor. Genesis 1 and 2 tells us that God created Adam and Eve in his own image, breathing life into them. While not fully understood, we know that being created in God’s image makes us responsible for our actions, have the ability to conscious living, have relationships and make covenants, and have the capability of worshiping our creator. Humans are relational beings. God knew that man should not be alone (Genesis 2:18) and needed to be in relationship with

ENGL 2111- 12 Mrs. Schmitt 18 February 2016 The Same or Just Coincidence? One may wonder how a biblical narrative and an ancient Mesopotamian epic could have anything in common, as biblical narratives, such as the Flood in Genesis, are written by divine inspiration and ancient Mesopotamian writings, such as "The Epic of Gilgamesh," are steeped in mythology and written solely by human hand. Although fundamental differences are present in the two, the Flood in Genesis and "The Epic of Gilgamesh"

who are kind and gentle but also those who are harsh. For it is your credit if, being aware of god, you endure pain while suffering unjustly. 1 Peter 2:18. This verse can be taken many ways but in no way is slavery right or justified. Oklahoma State Senator Constance Johnson has taken a passage from King James and used it to her advantage. Genesis 1:29 states And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the

“Creationism, as told in genesis is the better theory of explaining human life than evolution”. Today I am here to defend my Christian position on the creation of life in opposition to evolutionary scientific theory. I will like to begin by explaining that As a Christian we are compelled by faith by the exterior force that created life. We refer to this force as God and his son Jesus Christ who is our Lord and Savior. We rebuke scientific evolutionary theory fabricated by man. For us Christians

Genesis is the first book of Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament. The Judeo-Christian religion believes in a single God. This is known as monotheism. Genesis tells us that the world exists only because God does, and because he chose to make it. The world does not have to exist. If nothing had ever been created, God would still exist, throughout all eternity. This God created the entire world from nothing and bestowed life to all things which means that he is the origin of all. In this paper

as an immoral and unnatural sin. Leviticus 18:22 states “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” This verse identifies homosexual sex as an abomination. Since both homosexual desires and actions are condemned in the Bible, it is clear that homosexuals “marrying” is not God’s will, and would be, in fact, sinful. Whenever the Bible mentions marriage, it is between a male and a female. The first mention of marriage is in Genesis 2:24 which states “Therefore a man shall leave

I believe that we should not only understand the book of Genesis but also being able to get some type of knowledge of the people and culture during that time. By learning how there, day-to-day life was we would be able to understand the text better. I also believe we have been created in the image and likeness of God as written on (Genesis 1:27) “So God created mankind in his own image”.

have often wondered in my Christian walk what it truly means to be created in the image of God. When reading the account of creation in (Genesis 1:26) on the sixth day, God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness”. Thus, He finished His work with a “personal touch.” Then He formed man from the dust and gave him life by sharing His own breath (Genesis 2:7). Consequently, man is unique among all God’s creations, having both a material body and an immaterial soul and spirit. Meaning we
