 i was reading through  Quote: The opening chapters of Genesis tell about creation. Many biblical scholars distinguish two separate creation stories:
The story of the creation in six days (Genesis 1:1–2:3) The story of the day of creation (Genesis 2:4–24) The two stories are not identical and there are various claims about how they can be interpreted. [edit] 1.1 The first story, Genesis 1:1–2:3 This story is an account of God (Elohim) creating the universe in six days and resting on the seventh day. The order of creation is: First day God creates the heavens and the Earth. (1:1) The Earth is dark and without form. (1:2) God creates light. (1:3–5) Second day God creates a "firmament" or a "dome", called "sky", to separate the heavens and Earth. (1:6-8) Third day God separates the seas and dry land. (1:9–10) God creates fruits and vegetation. (1:11–13) Fourth day God puts lights in the sky to separate day and night and to indicate the passing of the seasons. The sun, moon, and stars are created. (1:14–19) Fifth day God creates sea creatures and birds. (1:20–23) Sixth day God creates living creatures for the land: wild animals, cattle and creeping things. (1:24–25) God creates mankind, male and female, "in his own image". (1:26–31) Seventh day The Sabbath (2:1–3) [edit] 1.2 The second story, Genesis 2:4–2:25 This story is an account of the day the LORD (Yahweh) created the world. It begins on the day of the creation (2:4) before plants, rain, and men (2:5). The man is formed. (2:7) The LORD plants the garden of Eden and places the man in it. (2:8) The trees grow in the Garden, including the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. (2:9) Description of the rivers of Eden. (2:10–14) The man is put in garden to care for it. (2:15) The man is commanded not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. (2:16–17) The LORD decides the man should not be alone. (2:18) The LORD creates animals and birds and has Adam name them. (2:19–20) The creation of the first woman. (2:21–22) The man and the woman form the first family. (2:23–25) first i was wondering if anyone has heard of this? i had not...i've only heard Yahweh before, never Elohim... could this be similar to Gnostic "true god, false god"? if anyone is knowledgable of this let me know... posted by The ONEder Man |

 You know Elohim in the form of appedixes to names "Micha-El" (Who is as god), "Gabri-El" (God Is My Strength) "Elohim" is just a description as is the word "King", or better "His holiness" or "His Divineness". "JHVH" is the NAME of the god (where the vocals are inserted to form "Jahveh" or "Jehovah"). Lord Jahweh. You know this name from the term Hallelu-Jah ("Jah" is short for "Jehovah") which means "Praise Jah" So nothing contradicting here. What IS however strange that Elohim is plural and this fact has been always taken as a hint at aliens. Aliens (not a single being, but a group of aliens) have created men out of mud (= have genetically modified some other beings). Some however argue that it's just Pluralis Majestatis ("We see"):  posted by knn |

 I was really intrigued by this to start with (what with my interest in gnosticism and all), but then I remembered that there are tons of different Hebrew words for God (and all of them referring to the same God). Depending on which word the scribe is writing he is expected to clean himself a different amount. I believe that when they write Yahweh they have to have an entire bath before they continue writing! Of course the Old Testament has lasted so long because of this continuous copying by scribes to make sure that none of what was written was ever lost. posted by fatpie42 |
