Bible Study Notes on Genesis 8 – 20161007

Genesis 8:1  "...God remembered Noah..." Like He could forget.  Interesting how the Bible puts things.  We tend to give God credit only when we see Him acting.  We pray for whatever is troubling us, and we wonder why God doesn't answer.  Seems like He's forgotten us.  But the scripture tells us He is bringing about …

Bible Study Notes on Genesis 7 – 20161005

Genesis 7:1  "...you and all your household...you are righteous before Me in this generation" How sad that of all the people on the earth, mankind had corrupted himself to the point that only Noah and his family were considered righteous before God.  How merciful is God that He would choose to save just one if …

Genesis 4:2  "...she bore again..." Commentary suggests Cain and Abel may have been twins.  Not specified.  No time is given so no way to know how much time passes between events.  But enough for Cain to become a farmer and Abel a sheepherder.  During this time, I'm sure Eve is producing many more children.  In …

Bible Study Notes on Genesis 3 – 20160925

Genesis 3:1  "...the serpent..." Debate on whether a real serpent was involved here.  No reason to think otherwise.  The fact that it spoke to Eve could simply be that it was being used by Satan.  The punishment that God pronounces addresses both a physical and spiritual serpent, thus a physical one had to be present. …

Bible Study Notes on Genesis 2 – 20160923

Genesis 2:1  "...all the host of them" Both on earth and in the heavens.  That would also include the universe.  God has created the entire physical universe in six days.  When you consider the other theories of the creation of the universe, there is only two reasons for doing so.  Either you do not believe …
