Lives 1st

  In the First Story in Genesis, Elohim is high above the Skies and the Humans are on the Earth. In the Second Story (Genesis 2:4b-3:24), Yahweh Elohim and the Humans are on the Earth. In the Third Story (Genesis 4:1-16) Yahweh and four humans are on the Earth. Continue reading at - https://mailchi.mp/ab2c22b66160/judgment-day-for-the-man-and-woman-in-the-garden-17999715

In the first story in Genesis, Elohim did seven acts that measured TOV (good)! In the second story, the two humans did “ one prohibited act together ” and “ the process of dying began on earth .” This had nothing to do with “evil.” “ Dying wasn’t the punishment .” Continue reading at - https://mailchi.mp/f30b6aff8cb6/judgment-day-for-the-man-and-woman-in-the-garden-17999659

  And Yahweh Elohim said: “ Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” And the ADAM said: “The ISHAH (woman) whom You gave to be with m e , she gave it to me from the tree, and I ate.” What did Yahweh Elohim think when the man blamed Him for giving him the woman ?

  Yahweh Elohim planted every tree in the Garden, formed the humans and formed the serpent. Everything in the Garden is there because of Yahweh Elohim. Yahweh Elohim gave the command to the humans about not eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Tov (good) and Ra (evil) before the serpent existed . And finally remember, both the humans and serpent are “ subtle, shrewd, clever, crafty, and cunning creatures .” So who will be the most subtle, shrewd, clever, crafty, and cunning ?” Let the Main Event begin!

  According to the text the man needs a “ help meet .” Notice the text does not say that he needs “ a helper .” Not someone to “boss around!” The Hebrew word means, “ one that corresponds to, a counterpart of, equal to, and matching .” This matches what we learned about ADAM #1 – “ the male and female are equals in the eyes of Elohim .” Male and female are equal partners! Will the man and woman be more subtle, shrewd, clever, crafty, and cunning – and not shame themselves?

  The first story in Genesis began with – “ In the beginning Elohim created the Skies and the Earth .” The notes below will help you see differences between the two stories. There are others but I won’t discuss them today. (1) In the beginning / in a day. (2) Elohim / Yahweh Elohim. (3) created / made.

  Americans are living in a culture and economy that highly values and markets “ individual pleasure ” and “ instant gratification ” as top priorities. The unintended and deadly side effects of this are constant anxiety, isolation, loneliness, indifference to others and increased violence . As isolation increases, self-rejection increases; as self-rejection increases, isolation increases. This is a toxic and potentially deadly mix. Without being anchored to principles and values that are shared by others, life is like living in a washing machine that is on a perpetual spin cycle.

The Hebrew word “ ADAM ” reveals there are two kinds of humans: “ male and female .” In order to have an ADAM , there must be “ one male and one female bound together by the Alliance and Covenant ” in Genesis 1-10. There is no third type of human. When the two humans act together to fulfill Elohim’s blessing , they reveal the image of Elohim on earth by doing the following .

  As many of you know, I have written a lot about the link of the Jewish Jesus (Yeshua) to Genesis 1-10. He even named his movement after it – The Kingdom of Elohim . I have always been aware of the “ words of the Creator ” in the Declaration of Independence , because George Walton (my 5 th Great Grandfather) signed it. However, for decades I have not been able to link the Founding Father’s words to Genesis.

  Below is one of BHC’s most important Laws of Language : “ We all think, act, and communicate in ways that are primarily predetermined by our culture.” I often use the phrase, “seeing the words of the Bible through their eyes.” In order to do that we must have an understanding of the cultures of the of people in the Bibles stories. The title of this email is -- Living in a “Natureless” Creation . What does “ living without nature ” mean to you? As you read the following words change your view to “ to see the ancient world of the Bible through their eyes .” Continue reading at - https://mailchi.mp/052cfa7b3d93/living-in-a-natureless-creation
