Greek Mythology Vs Bible

On 7 days God created everything. In Day 1, God created light and called the light day and called the darkness night. In day 2, God created heaven. In day 3, God separated the water and called the dry land earth and the waters sea. In day 4, God created the sun, moon and stars. In day 5, God created the creatures of the sky and the sea. In day 6, God created humans and land creatures. In day 7, God rested.

In Genesis God created the earth in six days and declared rest for the seventh day. On day one, God created light to part it from darkness, calling the light “day” and the darkness “night”. On day two, he created the sky, allowing him to create land and sea on day three. God created the sun, moon, and the stars to give light to the earth and to govern and separate the day and the night" on the fourth diurnal (Fairchild, 2013). These elements would also serve to establish days, season, and years. On the fifth day God created all the organisms on the land, sea, and sky and made sure they would flourish.

Myths and religious doctrine are generally recognized as two entirely different things. Myths are usually referred to as a fictitious story or a half-truth; often they are stories shared between groups of people that are part of a cultural society. Religion is a set of beliefs concerning the cause, and purpose of the universe, and often containing an ethical code dictating appropriate human conduct. Although they differ in certain aspects, they still hold similarities. Comparable to parables within the Bible, myths have different versions which are both motivating, as well as entertaining. There are not only parallels to the idea of the stories but specific tales hold similar morals and equivalent characters.

Greek mythology and Roman mythology both have an importance in both ancient history and the modern world. People often confuse the two and mistake them for each other. They may be similar on paper but they are very different. Greek mythology is more original, had a bigger influence on the ancient people, and has a bigger influence on the modern world.

It is said that in the beginning, there was Chaos, the silent and dark abyss. Out of Chaos, all things came into existence. According to the Theogony of Hesiod, Chaos created the

How did the earth and everything on it come into existence? This is a question, that for the Christian worldview is answered by the Bible, in Chapters 1 and 2 of Genesis. The Bible makes clear to it’s readers that God existed before anything else. The creation account in Genesis 1 splits creation into 6 days and a 7th day of rest. The first day God created the earth and Heaven as well as day and night. The second day God separated the earth from heaven to create the sky. On the third day God separated the waters on earth so there would be dry land. He created plants and trees that could bear fruit and seeds. God made theses plants so that they would be able to keep growing from the seeds that fell from them. On the fourth day God created the

The first creation narrative, from the priestly source (P), is found in the first chapter of Genesis. The narrative begins with a “formless void” and a “wind from God [that] swept over the face of the waters” (New Oxford Annotated Bible, Gen. 1:2). God first created light to separate the darkness and He created Day and Night, “the first day” (Gen. 1:3-5). On the second day, God separated the waters above and below a dome called Sky (Gen. 1:6-8). On the third day, God made dry land appear out of the waters and let the dry land, Earth, produce vegetation (Gen. 1:9-13). The fourth day became the first to have specific lights to rule the day, the “greater light,” and the night, the “lesser light” and the stars (Gen. 1:14-19). The fifth day brought creatures swarming in the sea and flying

With man and nature, there is seemingly a constant curiosity that of which compels many to contemplate questions and to ultimately seek answers for those questions. In modern day, man seeks science, logic, and mathematics to name a few in order to search for those compelling thoughts. However, it was seemingly not that easy in the era of the Ancient Greeks. The Ancient Greeks did feature mathematics, however, to explain natural phenomenon, there was not a reference to science and logic, and like other nations it was rather, mythology.

Greek Mythology VS. Christianity There are numerous mythologies in the world, and they have numerous things in common as well as differences. At first glance there doesn't seem to be much similarity between Greek mythology and Christianity; however, upon a more detailed examination you may find many similarities and differences.

Beginning with the first chapter in the Book of Genesis, 1:1-31 through to 2:1-3, which is the most recognized Hebrew and Christian version of the Creation story. On the first day God creates heaven, Earth, day and night. Then on the second day the skies and oceans are formed. Next on the third day is the creation of dry land, vegetation and fruit trees. This is followed on the fourth day with the formation of the sun, moon and stars. On the fifth day all creatures that swim along with all creatures that fly are created. Finally, on the sixth day God creates all of the other remaining creatures and animals that will live on the earth as well as man and woman. Afterwards, with all of his work completed God takes a rest on the seventh day.

Nowadays, we live different lives compared to the Greeks. We have different problems that affect us in our day to day routines. We value different things. We wouldn’t value Hercules’ traits because we have a different way of dealing with conflicts than the Greeks did. If Hercules were alive today, we wouldn’t value his trait of redemption, or revenge, because he would be a very unstable person. He would be unstable because he tried to get revenge, or redeem himself, a lot. An example of this is when he killed King Eurytus. This started off when someone had insulted him. Knowing Hercules, he has a very small tolerance for something offending him or not going his way. Hercules will do anything to make himself feel better. In this case, he had

On the third day god creates the land and the sea through the command to the water ‘be gathered together in one place and let the dry land appear'. Next he creates the grass and other foliage such as trees and plants with fruits and seeds.

From the beginning of human understanding, humans have feared, obsessed, and devoted themselves to creatures and beings that do not exist. From gods, to terrifying beings with sinister purposes, to beings who lust for infinite knowledge, there is a certain appeal to imagining such non-existent and unreal beings. A fantastic creature is a being that does not exist, and is not human and not animal, and has magical or unreal properties. These beings are not proven to exist, and thus are figments of human creativity. Many mythological creatures of old were revered as being above humans. The reason for this is because they are something humans wish they could be; something different. These kinds of beings have different sources of influence, but are still universally present across the whole world. A simple example of this is the vampire. The counties of Egypt, Bulgaria, Australia, Serbia, and Romania have mythological creatures or gods with characteristics such as vampirism.

Mythology and Christianity. Two different beliefs with two different stories of creation. But, both have one event very similar to one another. This is the flood. Told in the bible through Genesis six through nine, God plans to destroy mankind due to the wickedness of the people who live on earth. Told in a separate story of creation in mythology, Zeus plans to destroy mankind due to the same wickedness of the people living on earth. Two different gods with the same plan and for the same reason. These stories have many differences and similarities that can both be clearly seen.

I do not agree with that statement because I think history is much more genuine and important than the myth. Apparently, myths are sacred tales in ancient civilizations that help the people at that time to comprehend the world and themselves better. For example, fictional gods like Prometheus and Apollo are created to answer the people’s question about the origin of the fire and many supernatural phenomena. Though myths may contain actual historical events but they are typically used as the setting of the story. For instance, in the Odyssey, the Trojan War is the setting for the story, but it is intended to enhance the gallantry of Odysseus. However, history contains 100% of actual events in the past and it is objective. There are no beliefs,
