There was only one creation.
In the Genesis 2 version actual details are given of how God did things.
Also in the Gen.2 version when God forms the animals it was for the purpose of Adam naming them..
2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
In the Gen. 1 account God makes it a point to say that man was the very last thing He made as He couldn't have said this if He hadn't already created these things.
1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Also, no matter how you translate Isaiah 34:14, nothing puts her before Eve.
Also Adam calls her "Eve" because she is the mother of all living.
There was only one creation. No – Look at the list of the lineages in Genesis 4 and 5. They are different. Genesis 4 corresponds to the sons of men, Genesis 5 the sons of God
(See the last verse of Luke 3)
In the
Genesis 2 version actual details are given of how God did things.
(No. How did you conclude this? Can you give me a direct quote that shows that this must be true. Can you draw me this conclusion through connecting other scriptures? I can show how this isn't case through many scriptures. See post #6 for a list of contradictions demonstrating why this isn't true. Also a collection of scripture is given with a logic showing it is not a recap of Genesis 1.)
Also in the Gen.2 version when God forms the animals it was for the purpose of Adam naming them..
(This is an assumption on your part. How did you conclude this?)
2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought
them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that
was the name thereof.
In the Gen. 1 account God makes it a point to say that man was the very last thing He made as He couldn't have said this if He hadn't already created these things.
1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which
is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which
is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
(Yes but Genesis 2:4 through 4:26 precludes this and so it doesn't really matter. Also consider 1:28, This creation is told to replenish the earth(the same thing Noah was told to do after the flood.) as the previous creation (Genesis 2:4 - Genesis 4:26) was covered by the deep Genesis 1:2. )
Also, no matter how you translate
Isaiah 34:14, nothing puts her before Eve.
(No. I am assuming you are talking about the Genesis 2 Eve. Again, her time was before what transpired in Genesis 1:2 – Genesis 2:3. There was many things going on in Eden during the age of the sons of men. Christ himself was there. )
Ephesians 3: (4-5) 4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5 Which in other
ages was not made known unto the
sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
Proverbs 8: (22-31) 22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. 23
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. 24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. 25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: 26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. 27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: 28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: 29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: 30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; 31
Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
Nations of people (Ezekiel 31:6) are in Eden, Giants were there too.
Genesis 6: (2- 4) 2 That the
sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4 There were
giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the
daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Ezekiel 31:8 The
cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the
garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
Amos 2:9 Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them,
whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed
his fruit from above, and
his roots from beneath.
These mighty men, the “children of men”. We see them later in (Genesis 11:5) can be traced back to Eden (Ezekiel 31:14 ), being in the nether parts of the earth as the people of earth (Ezekiel 31:12) are above them.
However, it is curious that Cain being banished from the “face of the earth” to “in the earth” (Genesis 4:14). No doubt these "children of men" in the nether parts of the earth was who he was afraid of.
Read Genesis 1:2 – 2:3. Notice the creation told to replenish the earth and have dominion only “upon the earth”. They had no business in the nether parts of the earth.
The flood was to clean the earth of the 1st creation made from the dust.
Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God
formed man of the dust of the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Genesis 6:7 7 And the Lord said,
I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Genesis 7:17 17And, behold, I, even
I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
The 2nd creation (Genesis 1:2 - Genesis 2:3) "after his kind" is the one to be kept preserved and exits the ark. These are the sons of God. See Genesis 5, Luke 3, and I Chronicles 1. The creation that is the record (Exodus 20:11) and occurred 6 to 10 thousand years ago.
Genesis 8:19 19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth,
after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
Also Adam calls her "Eve" because she is the mother of all living
(At that time. Also, this is not implying all things. For example, cats and dogs.).
Oh well, the list goes on and on. I’ll hush. Not everything is meant to be know about this age and it is not intended for everybody to know.
Mathew 13:35 35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept
secret from the
foundation of the world.
The problem is that people view the first chapters of the book Genesis as collection of different stories. It is not, it is one story describing many things. For example, people like to separate the creation narratives, the story about Cain and Able, Noah's flood, the tower of Babel. It is not many stories that are to be viewed separately but one describing how the seed that would bring Christ was protected from very bad things that happened Early in Eden. This is why he had to be brought by a virgin.
As far as Lilith, If you look at the lore associated with her, she was made from the dust of the earth and her origin is shown in two Eden accunts in scriture (Genesis 2:14 and Ezekiel 31:3).
