A lot of debate, a lot of words, a lot of unsound teachings, and billions of people being misled. Professed Christians, in that mass of billions, that is. This begins in seminaries, Bible colleges, churches, schools, government, and the home. We have gotten away from the truth and allowed 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries human philosophies, human determinations brought about by being lead from the truth to commit sin, exactly as Adam and Eve were led away by Satan, to eat of the tree of death rather than believing the whole inerrant, infallible, unchangeable, eternal, living and active Word of God.

Genesis IS THE FOUNDATION. To everything.

Don’t believe Genesis is history; the truth was given to Moses in Divine Manner to know and understand, and you do not have a sound foundation. No matter who you are. No matter who you are, pastor, preacher, evangelist, or churchgoer. Profeessor, teacher, father, mother, brother, sister, next door neighbor, no matter who, no matter what denomination, no matter how old, where you live, how long you’ve professed to be one of God’s born again people — you don’t believe Genesis is literal, is history, is fact, and you go to a church that doesn’t preach and teach it as such, your pastor went to and graduated from a someinary, theology school that doesn’t teach Geneesis as history, as factual — well, friend, you ain’t got a good foundation. You haven’t got a sound leg to stand on if you’ve opted out of God’s Word and eaten of the words and ways of the world regarding Genesis, Creation, how it all began, and why it is as it is.

Not myth, not poetry, not allegory. Fact. Reality. History. As it was. From the beginning. Don’t believe it, and what do you truly believe from that point on?

Human logic and so-called reason imagine themselves not on par with God, but greater than God. As some fallen angel, some malcontent who thought himself higher than Almighty God. Imagine that.

Jesus believed, and knew Genesis to be history, after all, He created all things. As it is written. Actual, factual, reality. Not myth, not poetry, not allegory — History. But…you know more, know better than Jesus, right? Because, well, you live in the age of enlightenment, right? Well educated, right? Now able to pick and choose what you believe and don’t believe in God’s whole world. Treating the Holy Word of God like a menu from some restaurant you’ve been to.

I was initially going to write, treating the Holy Word of god like a menu from some restaurant you frequent, but then realized most people professing to be Christians rarely, if ever, read the Bible, and if they do, it’s only select verses, or chapters, or perhaps for the so-called devout, a book. Once in a while. Really taking that path? See where it leads.

Genesis too much for you? Well, that’s because you’ve had too much world and not enough God. Simple as that.

Exactly like our ancestral parents. The bad fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree, does it?

The History of Creation

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.

Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.

Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the third day.

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.” So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” So the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so. Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Why Genesis Is History, Not Myth or Poetry

From Christian Ministries International

VIDEO

Genesis is often debated: is it history, poetry, or myth? Why does it matter if it’s taken as literal history? Explore how Genesis lays the foundation for biblical doctrines and explains the origin of death and suffering. Can a worldview without Genesis uphold moral absolutes, or does it shift the basis for truth entirely?

Dr Jonathan Sarfati unpacks the textual and theological reasons Genesis should be read as history. Discover the literary structure, the connection to the gospel, and how New Testament writers and Jesus Himself affirmed Genesis as real events. Dr Sarfati reveals why compromising on Genesis impacts not just theology but the essence of the gospel itself.
