The book of Genesis.Genesis is the beginning of all things, written by Moses as directed by God.  The writings of the Pentateuch are attested to Moses in Matthew 8:4; Mark 12:26; Lube 16:29; Luke 24:27, 44; John 5:46; John 7:22; Acts 15:1; Romans 10:19; 1 Corinthians 9:9; and 2 Corinthians 3:15.   The name Genesis comes from the Greek translation meaning origins.   When making sense of the rest of the bible, you have to know where the fall of man happened, how it happened, why it happened.  As the book of Genesis opens in paradise at the tree of life, so the book of Revelation closes there with the culmination of the solution to man's problem created by Adam and Eve in Genesis.  Genesis presents creation by divine fiat, ex nihilo (out of nothing).   This is part of who God is; the creator of all.  His identity of "I AM" speaks of his eternal being.  He was before time was.  He revealed himself to Israel as their deliverer, creator, and heavenly father.  (Return to Bible study menu here) http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com The creation http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=54812&view=post&blogid=4953 Sun, 13 Jan 2019 00:00:00 -0400 The creation of man and woman http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=54771&view=post&blogid=4953 Sun, 3 Mar 2019 00:00:00 -0400 The fall of man; http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=54757&view=post&blogid=4953 Sun, 3 Mar 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Cain and Abel http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=54756&view=post&blogid=4953 Sat, 6 Apr 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Genealogy of Adam;Enoch is raptured http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=54677&view=post&blogid=4953 Sat, 6 Apr 2019 00:00:00 -0400 The corruption of mankind. http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=54660&view=post&blogid=4953 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 00:00:00 -0400 The Flood http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=54573&view=post&blogid=4953 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 00:00:00 -0400 The flood subsides http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=54480&view=post&blogid=4953 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Post flood changes; the covenant of the rainbow http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=54371&view=post&blogid=4953 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Table of nations; Nimrod http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=54359&view=post&blogid=4953 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 00:00:00 -0400 The Tower of Babel; The descendants of Shem; the descendants of Terah http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=54323&view=post&blogid=4953 Tue, 7 May 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Promises to Abram; Abram goes to Egypt http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=54309&view=post&blogid=4953 Tue, 7 May 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Abram and Lot part ways; Abram Inherits Canaan http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=54276&view=post&blogid=4953 Mon, 27 May 2019 00:00:00 -0400 War of the kings; God's promise to Abram; Melchizedek. http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=54176&view=post&blogid=4953 Mon, 27 May 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Abram is promised a son. http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=48952&view=post&blogid=4953 Mon, 27 May 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Sarai & Hagar http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=49125&view=post&blogid=4953 Tue, 2 Jul 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Abraham and the covenant of circumcision http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=49318&view=post&blogid=4953 Tue, 2 Jul 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Abraham's visitors.Negotiating rightous in Sodom. http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=49541&view=post&blogid=4953 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 00:00:00 -0400 The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=49693&view=post&blogid=4953 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Abraham's pilgimage continues. http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=49953&view=post&blogid=4953 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Isaac is born; Sarah turns against Hagar; Abimelech http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=50144&view=post&blogid=4953 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Abraham is told to sacrifice Isaac. http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=50376&view=post&blogid=4953 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Death and Burial of Sarah http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=54159&view=post&blogid=4953 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 00:00:00 -0400 A bride for Isaac. http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=50590&view=post&blogid=4953 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 00:00:00 -0400 Abraham's death; Ishmael's descendants and Isaac's sons. http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=50832&view=post&blogid=4953 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 00:00:00 -0400
