BeginningSlide2

Writing of the Book of Genesis

The name Genesis = BeginningComes from the Greek.Can also mean origin, birth, and generation

Hebrew from first word "in the beginning."

Written by MosesDate written: 1490 BC to 1420 BC.

Introduction to GenesisSlide3

Content of the Book of Genesis

There is no ancient near eastern document comparable to Genesis.Book has two unequal parts.Primeval History (Age):

Creation -- fall -- corruption of humanity -- flood -- saving of Noah's family -- tower of Babel (Gen. 1-11)

Patriarchal History (Age): Abraham and his descendants toward fulfilling God's promise (Gen.

12-Ex. 2:25)

Mosaical History (Age): Moses call, prophetic ministry, delivery from Egypt & giving of the law

Purpose of the Book of Genesis

To reveal who God is and his saving work through Israel to bless all peoples.

Introduction to GenesisSlide7

Important

teachings in GenesisGod keeps his promisesAll nations will be blessed through Abraham (Gen. 18:18)

Genesis

records the actions of a personal God who acts in history for the good of peopleGod is Creator of the world and

Sovereign

God's ways are perfectHumanity is God's unique creation

God punishes

sinGod calls for people to have faithGod shows patience and graceGod is self-revealed – commanding, conversing, entering into covenantsIntroduction to GenesisSlide8

Reason

Moses wrote GenesisWritten for the Israelites to teach them about the one God that created and rules everything as opposed to the God's around them and differentiate God from the gods

Distinguish the one God from other religions that had many gods that ruled over various aspects of the world, e.g. rain, crops, sun, moon, love. (How is the world seen to day; e.g. stars rule, science and random chance?)

God's were capricious, unreliable, and threatening. God's were to be appeased by sacrifice to solicit their kindness to people.

Introduction to GenesisSlide9

Reason

Moses wrote GenesisReveal a personal God at work, not a world that was the outcome of battle between the gods, Marduk and

Tiamat

, which were always in a struggle for power and thus gave rise the chaos and problems on earth (Tiamat losses and split in half) -- Mesopotamian creation myth –

Enuma

Elish:

No mention of the creation of woman.

Very few similarities with Biblical account.The creation account shows God to be the only God who created everything good and rules over an orderly creation.God does not live in strife with other gods.God is seen as initiating communication with his creation and providing for it. Humanity is to respond to God's action while in the pagan religions people must solicit with sacrifices and appeals so the gods will be benevolent to them.Introduction to GenesisSlide10

Genesis

and Humanities placeHumanity's makeup - image of God; relationship;

caregiver; labor

Humanity's calling - follow their creatorHumanity's fall - losing sight of GodHumanity's problem - sin and suffering

Humanity's

need - redemption from sin and sufferingHumanity's answer - Jesus Christ

Primeval History

YHWH - GodSlide13

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Days of Creation (1:1-2:3)Prologue (1:1-2)

God is the subject of first sentence of the Bible.

Creation is God's action.Until God created nothing existed (matter has no self-existence)

Created but not yet formed or arranged.

Earth was formless and void (formless = chaos)Deep means the ocean literallyGod's Spirit was moving (working)

Spirit of God in O.T. is creative and sustaining

Spirit brings form and fills the earthSlide14

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Implications of the Doctrine of Creation

Everything

has value as God's creationGod

created and continues to work in the

worldScientific investigation is appropriate as creation assumes an orderliness created by

intelligence

Only God is self-sufficient or eternalEverything derives its existence from GodGod's creation is of value to him and thus should be for usHumans are to caretakers of the creationWhat if man creates life? Intelligence?Slide15

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

First Day (3-5)Light

created and separated from darkness

How can there be light before the sun was created?

Other

sources of light (i.e. ultraviolet light, electromagnetic)Day

- evening and morning one day seems to set the limit.

Day (yom) usually means a normal day or part of the daylight portionYom is used "in the time of the judges" for an indefinite time period and in Gen. 2:4 for more than 24 hoursSlide17

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Second Day (4-8)Expanse

(firmament) = space or may refer to the atmosphere

Water above was a vast watery vapor (no rain in those days Gen. 2:5), water canopy like greenhouse

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Seventh Day (2:1-3)Everything

completed.

God rested; God's creating work was at an end

God

blessed the seventh day and sanctified it (set it a part)Slide23

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Genesis and Humanities Place before God

Humanity’s makeup – image of God, relational (vertical and horizontal), labor, caretakers, rulers

Humanity’s calling – follow their CreatorHumanity’s fall – not following God

Humanity’s problem – sin and wrong relationships

Humanity’s need – redemption to right relationshipsHumanity’s answer – God graciousness shown ultimately in Jesus ChristSlide24

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Creation and ScienceChristian

theology does not propose to tell us

how the universe came into being; it tells us the source of creation

Science - True

science is defined as: The systematic analysis of presently observed processes and their phenomena.Two areas where science and theology

conflict

The origin and age of the universeThe development of creationSlide25

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Creation and ScienceWhich would you prefer, intelligent design or accident?

Which makes more sense, a organized universe by accident or intelligence?

We generally do not look at complex machines around us and assume the accidently came together but that someone designed them and created them

Kalam

Cosmological Argument

By

William Lane CraigSlide26

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Age of the CreationArchbishop James Ussher dated the age of earth at 4004 B.C.

Based his calculations on the genealogies in the Bible

Genealogies don't always have every generation

“Son of” can just mean descendent of

Geology dates the earth at 5 to 6 billion years in age and universe at 8 to 12 (Hubble created a stir when said 2 billion)Various methods used in dating

Radioactive material

Given probable gaps in the genealogies a longer period could be possible but not necessary to postulate 5 to 6 billion yearsSlide27

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Radioactive material like Uranium 238 - lead

or Potassium – argon

Carbon 14 dating of organic material is limited to 50,000 years but suffers from some of the same assumptions as others

Three Assumptions

Process of radioactive decay must have always operated at the same rate at which it functions todayProcess takes place in a closed system meaning nothing could disturb or change the process (experiments show things can change similar processes)

The initial condition of the elements must be known when it first began the process.

See Morris’ book Biblical Basis for Modern ScienceSlide28

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Age of the CreationAttempts to reconcile these two views

The gap theory - holds that the original creation took place billions of years ago (mentioned in Gen. 1:1) and then re-formed a few thousand years ago (Gen. 1:2ff).

Great age is from the first creation.

A great catastrophe occurred possibly due to Satan.

Creation stayed in ruin for a long time before God reestablished his creation recording in Gen. 1:2ff.Slide29

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Age of the CreationAttempts to reconcile these two views

The flood theory - holds that the earth is just a few thousand years old but due to the flood at the time of Noah and the changes that occurred in the geological structures the earth appears older to geologists.

Huge waves cause great stress on the earth

Greater pressure from the amount of water

Life forms and mud deposit in different stratasSlide30

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Age of the CreationAttempts to reconcile these two views

The ideal-time theory - holds that God created the world in six days but made it pre-aged or full grown so it is as if it were billions of years old.

Example of trees with rings indicating their "ideal age."

Creation began at some point in the life-cycle.

The word "yom" is a literal 24 hour day and always mean day when used with a number.Slide31

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Age of the CreationAttempts to reconcile these two views

The age-day theory - holds that the each day stands for and epoch or long period of time.

The word "

yom

" usually stand for a 24 hour period but can stand for and indeterminate period of time.Scriptures: Ex 20:11 says created in six days.Slide32

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Age of the CreationAttempts to reconcile these two views

The literary-framework theory - holds that the biblical account is a literary device to give a picture of the God as originator of the world but not to be taken scientifically.

First three days are places - second three days fill the places

Light & Day - Sun, moon, stars

Sea & sky - Creatures of the water and skyFertile earth - Creatures of the landSlide33

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Creation or Evolution

Creation - holds that God created every species.

Some animals have become extinct due to changes in the earths environment or other factorsAnimals develop within species

Creative act was in the six days of creationSlide34

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Creation or Evolution

Evolution - holds that all forms of life have developed from non-living substance to the first living material by a gradual process of selection, mutations, spontaneous variations which caused new types to come into existence.

Survival of the fittest due to better adapted to their environment

Developed from a lower to a higher forms

Problems with evolutionLack of intermediate stages in geological records

No intermediate stages exist in live animals

Leaves no place for a spiritual natureSlide35

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Attempt to Reconcile Creation & EvolutionTheistic evolution - God created directly the beginning of the evolutionary process and continues to work in the natural evolutionary process

May have been some modifying of living creatures in the process like giving humans a spiritual nature.

Try to fit the evolutionary process to scripture.Slide36

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Attempt to Reconcile Creation & EvolutionProgressive creationism - holds that God created over a long period of time each species (kind -

min

) and other evolved from those first broad group

Science notes gaps between kinds

Intra-kind development vs. Inter-kind developmentSlide37

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Doctrine (Teaching) of CreationGod created the entire universe out of nothing; it was originally very good; and he created it to glorify himself through his relationship with His creation.Slide38

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Objections to theistic evolution:Scripture teaches that creation was purposeful not random or chance

Scripture pictures God’s creative work as bringing an immediate response

“And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kind.” And after three hundred eighty-seven million four hundred ninety-two thousand eight hundred seventy-one attempts, God finally made a mouse that worked.” (

Grudem

277)Slide39

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Objections to theistic evolution:Scripture points to God creating animals and plants to reproduce after their kind

God played a active role in creating.

Special creation of Adam and Eve breaks with evolutionary thought

There are many scientific problems with the theory of evolutionSlide40

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Since Charles Darwin first published his Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in 1859 – Problems persist:

No change from one species to another - fly is still a fly

Fossil records is still one of the biggest problem

Stasis. Most species exhibit no directional change during their tenure on earth.

Sudden appearance. In any local area, a species does not arise gradually by steady transformation of its ancestors; it appears all at once and “fully formed.”Slide41

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Since Charles Darwin first published his Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in 1859 – Problems persist:

Difficulty of explaining how life could have begun by chance.

Even the simplest living organism capable of independent life (the prokaryote bacterial cell) has not been able to be constructed in our best laboratories. “That a living organism emerged by chance from a pre-biotic soup is about as likely as that ‘a tornado sweeping through a junkyard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein.’Slide42

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Since Charles Darwin first published his Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in 1859 – Problems persist:

Kofahl

and

Segraves

reported a study by evolutionary scientists that calculated the probability of the chance formation of the smallest likely living organism is 10 to 340,000,000.Slide43

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Since Charles Darwin first published his Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in 1859 – Problems persist:

Non-Christian writer, Michael Denton

, Evolution: A Theory in Crises notes that since the time of Darwin notes, Neither the two fundamental axioms of Darwin’s

macroevolutionary

theory – the concept of the continuity of nature, that is the idea of a functional continuum of all life forms linking all species together and ultimately leading back to a primeval cell, and the belief that all the adaptive design of life has resulted from a blind random process – have not been validated by one single empirical discovery or scientific advance since 1859.Slide44

Pithecanthropines

family – Java Man - Dr. Du Bois set out to find the missing link between apes and humans and found the “Java man” as the bones were discovered in north central Java.

Found apelike tooth, other teeth about 10 feet away, brain pan and a femur (thighbone). Declared the brain pan too small to be a man but too large for an ape.

In 1896 Du Boise got the opinion of 19 authorities – 5 thought it was an ape, 7 thought human and 7 a missing link. Du Bois put the bone in a box and buried it under his dining room floor. Later admitted to finding other bones in the same strata that were unquestionably of modern humans.Slide47

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Adam and Eve in the Garden (2:4-25)Man's place in the garden; God provides (2:15-17)

Man is to cultivate and care for the garden (labor a part of life)

God gives his will for His creation. Man free to eat of everything but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Humanity has freedom of choice to choose for God or against

God - Yahweh means "He who is" or EternalYahweh is the covenant name for God (old version translated Jehovah)Slide54

rib not a good translationfrom side: neither from his head suggesting superiority or from his feet suggesting inferioritySlide56

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Adam and Eve in the Garden (2:4-25)Goodness in relationships (2:24-25)

Man and woman were created to be united and complement each other

Marriage was institutedJesus based his teaching on marriage on this passage (Matt. 19:3-9; Mark 10:2-12)

There was an innocence before the fall. They did not know sin. They had only known good up to this timeSlide57

Sin Enters the World - The Fall (3:1-24)God continues to provide for humanity

Adam (person or man) called his wife Eve (life or living) because she was the "mother of all living."

God provides the with clothes of animal skins

God removes Adam and Eve from the garden

Removed so they cannot continue to live forever by eating of the tree of lifeEntrance to the garden guarded by cherubim

Cherubim = heavenly creaturesSlide62

Survey of Genesis: Primeval History

Sin Enters the World - The Fall (3:1-24)Origin of Satan

Lucifer (day-star) had fallen from heaven because of a desire to usurp the throne of God (Isa. 14:12-15). This passage is specifically speaking of the king of Babylon though we may assume the malevolent spirit of Satan was at work and being described here to some degree.

Ezekiel 28:11-19 - the king of

Tyre

whom Satan worked through is spoken of in the garden, as created, and "blameless" until "unrighteousness was found" in him and he was corrupted in his wisdom by his splendor.

Jesus said He saw Satan fall from heaven like lightening

Jesus gave His disciples power over the enemy (Lk. 10:18)Slide63

Cain and Able (4:1-24)Cain kills Able (4:1-8)

First time sacrifices are mentioned

Able gives a better sacrificeCain is jealous so kills Able

Sin continues to be a problem

Gen. 4:7 - do well, master sinCain's punishment (4:9-15)No care for his brother (the problem of the world).

Punishment is to be a wander or nomad no longer a cultivator.

Protected from vengeance by a sign or mark.Slide64

Noah (6:1-10:32)The Evil of People (6:1-12)

Population increased and evil was the norm for the day

Sons of God took daughters of men. Offspring became mighty men of oldSome think angels intermarried with humans (see

Lk

. 20:34-36 which indicates angels don't marry)Probably means God's followers intermarried with non-followers
