Genesis 12: 10-20 And The Modern World

     In this essay I will take an interpretive look at Genesis chapters 5-9. The main focuses will be: the relationship between God, Noah, and Noah’s generation of mankind; the barriers and boundaries for

to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you,to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears,and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters." Genghis Khan, much like the Hebrew Bible during certain points, regards women as objects. However, to write the Hebrew Bible off as fully misogynistic would not do the ancient texts justice. From Genesis to Judges 2, the Hebrew Bible objectifies women, uses them as scapegoats, but during certain points rises them to the level of highly admired Prophets and warriors. This essay attempts to explore the various undertones of femininity depicted throughout the Hebrew Bible.

In the Hebrew Bible, the Book of Genesis and the Greek play Medea, by Euripides, contain female characters that can be seen as complex and have significance and meaning in the text. There are many interpretations involving the female characters, some characters may be portrayed as weak and irrational or strong-willed and wise. I will argue that, women are portrayed in the Hebrew Bible and Medea as irrational and senseless, in order for the men to be portrayed as superior and for women to be seen as inferior. This idea of the female characters being irrational and senseless can be seen in Genesis 4, Genesis 18, Genesis 29, and throughout the Medea play.

The biggest point that is revealed about human nature from the first two chapters of Genesis is that humans are made in the image of God. This is seen within the creation narrative since everything that God made was good which included the humans. Also, it is because of their original human nature being in the image of God as to why humans are viewed as being the pinnacle of creation, as shown since they receive the most attention of all of the parts of creation (Diffey, 2015).

Tonight, we would be looking at something quite important. This I say isn't age or gender bounded. The earlier we start working on it the more easier it become later on-i wouldn't say future because our future starts now We take our anchor scipture from Genesis 2 vs 10-14, I will be reading from NLT-now I know why Deacon Oniyire loves NLT version of the bible... Genesis 2:10 A RIVER FLOWED from the LAND of EDEN, watering the garden and then dividing into FOUR BRANCHES.

To truly comprehend a biblical passage, it is important to have knowledge of the ‘hermeneutics which enables an understanding of the locus of meaning and the principles of bible interpretation’ . The audience needs to have a clear interpretation of the biblical passage which includes ‘content and unity of the whole of Scripture if the meaning of the sacred texts is to be correctly worked out’ , this supports the argument that all worlds of the text are equally important. ‘Biblical passages are often taken out of context and interpreted to support a particular viewpoint of justify a particular action’ . It is imperative to note that ‘in order to discover the sacred authors' intention, the reader must take into account the conditions of their

John H. Walton is a professor of the Old Testament at Wheaton College. He is known for his intelligence of the Bible but especially of the Old Testament. Inspired by Joseph Free, a former Wheaton professor; Walton read a book called Archaeology and Bible History. After reading this book, he decided to not become an archaeologist. He switched his focus to comparing the culture and literature of the Bible and the Ancient Near East. With passion for the Old Testament, Walton finds it important to help others understand it better. Walton has been acknowledged for stepping on people’s toes by making them question what they know to be true in their mind. He is very firm in his beliefs. When it comes to his book The Lost World of Adam and Eve, there were many people that criticized it but also those who enjoyed it. This book talks about the first three chapters of Genesis and makes many various propositions

For the past two-thousand years, the Book of Genesis has served as work of literature to the western civilization. Whether people believed in the Bible or not, the Book of Genesis tell stories they talk about having good morals, teaching live-learned lessons and overall it gives a glimpse of how the first human being acted when the world was developing and how they handle problems and situations. However, even though the book of Genesis shows a tone of life long morals, Genesis also shows the different sides of humans. Genesis shows how human can be deceitful, evil, and disobedient to authority figures. But these traits with humans were rarely displayed by man, but mostly by woman. In

Initially, in Genesis 11:30 we feel remorse for Sarai in her barrenness. Repeatedly it is expressed that Sarai is barren. Sharon Jeansonne explains, “Indeed, Sarai’s childlessness is predominant in most of the scenes that concern her” (15). Sarai’s

Abram’s age occurs eleven times in Genesis (see chart below). Abram is to be the father of many nations. It is from Abram that all must flow "... in thy

And he was a faithful father. He was good, but was not perfect. Here are some of his mistakes. The first one is this .God commands him to leave his father’s house and his relatives. But he took his brother’s son, lot with him. He accomplished God’s command partially. He leaved his father’s house, but he didn’t want to leave all relatives. This mistake costs him a lot. It has its own consequences. Gen13:5 “And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substances were great, so that they could not dwell together. and there were a strife between the herdsmen of Abraham’s cattle and herdmen of Lot’s cattle.” Disagreement appeared among Abraham and lot, and among their shepherds. Because of this they separate their dwelling place. In addition enters into war because Lot was become captive. “And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.”Gen14:14. This is another cost that Abram was paid because of he took Lot with him. All these show us that, we have to separate ourselves from those, to whom God do not want to be with us. The word of God says in 2Cor. 6:17 “wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.” Luke 14:26 “ If Any man come to me, and hate not

Within this book review we will discuss many characteristics of the author and the book. Who he is, where his stance on the subject is, his motives, and techniques that were used to open the readers mind to understand his perspective on Genesis one.

The Bible, which is composed of sacred collections of writings, has endured quite its share of allegations, controversies, and criticisms. One prevailing claim that has been made in opposition to the Bible is the portrayal of Biblical women as subordinate to their male counterparts. Undeniably, depthless reading of specific verses in the Bible can be portrayed as representing inequality among gender. Nonetheless, the Bible is not meant for depthless reading that only skims the surface. Thoughtful and critical reading is needed to truly grasp the nature of the Bible. If one takes this approach, it is clear to see that the Bible does not regard women in a subordinate light to their male equivalents,

This paper will discuss homosexuality in the Bible. More specifically, it will answer the question: What do the original scriptures say about homosexuality in context? What did it mean to people that lived in that era?

Forcefully, there is a mountain of information and perplexities concerning God fitting into humanity’s sexual beings; as this debate continues to meander into space and time. In Part I, attempts were made to understand how God’s Image could conceivably be connected to people’s sexuality. In viewing Biblical teachings, the text informs us that God created male and female in His own image (Gen 1:27). Specifically, this particular reference appears puzzling if we consider that God exists everywhere, at the same time, with complete and unlimited Divine knowledge. For God’s hierarchy of credentials alongside of humans clashes with the obvious, due to the fact that a person’s ability to be like God in this sense remains unachievable. Accordingly, if we were made in God’s image and given the fact of God’s credentials, the question remains what could God’s image imply?
