I picked Genesis because its my favorite book. So many great stories. So much to be learned from what's in there.
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness....
I love that verse. It assures me that there is a tremendous amount of history (in God's story) that happened before the earth was formed. And, that it was God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit acting all together in the creation process. Its wild to think about. Before the first sin was committed, before God offered the first choice, and it wrong decision was made......The Big 3 were there. Can you imagine what Jesus must have been feeling as he looked down and saw Adam and Eve making the selfish choice?.....it must have been heart breaking knowing what that would mean. I'm getting ahead of myself a little bit here. Just thinking thru what it must mean if the Big 3 were truly all there for the creation process.
anyway....fun stuff to thing about. Max and I were having a late night conversation last week about this sort of stuff. He was fascinated by the thought of the story of man-kind only being a portion of the total history of God. That's a mind bender. He said, "God already threw lucifer out of heaven before Genesis, right? So, there must be a LOT of story to be told there, someday." I though that was insightful on his part. I was surprised that he had put that all together. I didn't until i was MUCH older.

I find all the details and timing of the order of when things were made. Funny how with all the scientific research seems to link to the bible not dis-spell it as some want to suggest.
ReplyDeleteDeep thought by max. How about this question could any angel make a wrong decision in the future like satan did in the past?
