In the beginning God Reasoning 4 a more literal reading of Genesis 1-11
AIM: for all to seek a grip on early Genesis that does justice to: • The author’s intention in Genesis • How the rest of the bible handles it • The clarity and integrity of his Word • The character of God
STRUCTURE: • Polemics warning! • Consolidation plea • Why you trying to read it like that? • What is your God like? • Conclusion Appendix: mildly interesting history & science…
3. Why are you trying to read it like that? • Biblical theology • Genealogies • Flood • Fall • Man • 6 day creation
4. What is your God like? • God is good: grim reaper made Eden A question of compatibility • God is clear: perspicuity of scripture The carpenter’s clarity
Seek an understanding of early Genesis that does justice to: • The author’s intention in Genesis • How the rest of the bible handles it • The clarity and integrity of his Word • The character of God Mine includes: • True genealogies • Global flood 2300BC ish • Adam 4000BC ish • No grim reaper prior to Fall • A master artist who made the world in literally 6 days
Appendix: interesting history & science • Flood: fossilization & polystrate, mt everest, ark proportions, 2 of every kind, 500 legends • Dinsaurs: fresh blood, Job 40, dragon • Evolution & racism: subtitle of D’s book, unscientific, pygmy zoo, Acts 17:26 • Black & white moth: natural selection and/or adaption is different from evolution • Surtsey island: how old?!?
