Thanks for the kind words. I'm no hero though. God isI agree with my hero Abdicate....And a very warm welcome to CFS as well Markey4. As we progress in Genesis, we will discover so very much information that we have either forgot or didn't know. There is so much history of how the Nation of Israel was founded and the Patriarchs were established with their families, is foundational to understanding how the Old Covenant (NT) came into being.
I'm glad you decided to join us. Pull up a chair and enjoy!

Thanks dear sister! I am so blessed to have a God Who wants to help us all and He's chosen us to help all! Glory to God!! Hallelujah!! Praise the Name of Jesus!!Seriously, @Abdicate - you are a perfect example of showing confidence in God, without pride underwriting it, and humble without expressing inferiority. It's a good example for all to follow.
You did very well @markey4; we promote you to express your feelings. We all say something a little silly now and then; I doing so also every now and then.So Monday the next lesson? Did I do ok for my very first post?
I must say, my heart was gladdened when I read this.There are those who fancy a gap between Verse one and Verse two. I do not hold to that theory because , in my mind, if God wanted me to be captured in my mind about it's possibilities, He would have mentioned it. Since a gap theory is without biblical evidence, so am I.
I'm interested to find out what's happening when you're ready to divulge.I have been absent because of a demonic attack on my mind and body which happens every July. Some day I'll explain if anyone's interested.
Me too...maybe another thread or a private message if you'd rather keep it semi personal.I'm interested to find out what's happening when you're ready to divulge.
Nice to have you back @Chopper.
This could be a very wise decision.private message if you'd rather keep it semi personal
On the "tweaking" of trees, I find it interesting that a major parable of Jesus' was the grafting of the vine. Grafting was not discovered (invented?) until the first thousand years before Christ. Had Jesus come before that, there could be no parable of grafting. Amazing that grafting would be developed just before (historically speaking) the birth of Christ.Hello Bible study family. I'm finally back to our study of Genesis. I have been absent because of a demonic attack on my mind and body which happens every July. Some day I'll explain if anyone's interested.
For this part of our study I have combine the rest of creation up to God creating man. There is a lot to discuss in these verses of Chapter one. I trust everyone will enjoy some research and posting.
Again, I'm sorry for the delay. Spiritual warfare is never pleasant or something I enjoy....Thru prayer and feeding my spirit/soul with the Words of God, I have been healed and ready to continue.
August 14 2015 Genesis 1:11-25 Creation Continues To The Creation Of Man.
V. 11-13 Vegetation. Fruit trees and each yielding seed according to it's kind....I have always found it very interesting that an apple tree always produces apples, not pears. Man has been able to "tweak" the apple tree to some degree but I believe that there is a "guard" that the Divine Author of apples has placed on the tree's which are many, and they always produce from the seeds that have dropped, the same species.
V. 14-19 Great Lights. The sun by day, the greater of the two and the lesser of the two, the moon. What a miracle to me of the handy work of Almighty God in the exact placement of the Sun in it's orbit. Never to far that the earth becomes a freezer, or never to close that the earth becomes an oven. In my current studies in the Book of Revelation, with the help of Dr. John MacArthur's two book commentary, I see that God will at a time in the Tribulation period, use the sun as a weapon.
V.20-23 Fish in the water, Birds in the heavens. In Northwestern Massachusetts where I reside, I fish for large mouth Bass quite a bit during the Summer months. This area of America is known for the prized bird, the American Bald Eagle. Almost each fishing trip to the Conn. River, I see those bald eagles competing for the Bass. They are great fisherbirds.
V.24-25 Beasts of the earth. Livestock for sure, and then all the rest.
I wondered where you were (sisterly hug). TELL TELL! Silk <-----unendingly curious. I went thru Missler's Study of Genesis (all 24 parts !!!!) because I missed the indepth. Welcome back.I have been absent because of a demonic attack on my mind and body which happens every July. Some day I'll explain if anyone's interested.
