And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image.... So God created man in his own image.
Genesis 1:27 (The first man and woman were created simultaneously.)
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Thanks for being more responsive than Mouse.
The order in these verses are correct as per the six days of creation. To this point in scripture there is and wouldn't be a contradiction.
Verse 27 in no way suggest a simultaneous creation of man and women, it's a gigantic stretch to even suggest that. At most besides the creation of humans we are told their gender.
Baalb Wrote:Genesis 2:18-22 (The man was created first, then the animals, then the woman from the man's rib.)
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 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 the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
Specific enough?
OK, let's get something straight here, many on this site want to call chapter two the second creation instead of the same story in greater detail. It is the same story with detail added. You are treating this as if it is the same story (with contradictions), I do not know if you have claimed chapter one and chapter two as different stories before, I know Mouse has. So I'll assume you see it as the same story and explain it with that assumption.
Chapter one gives a day by day outline of creation, then chapter two gives some details of what God was doing without doing it chronologically. This should be something everyone that's written a paper would know. So chapter two is only for detail and chapter one is chronological. The only possible chronology in chapter two would be the creation of Adam and Eve.
Thanks again for the specific verses.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
