Genesis 4-11 (Day 2-3)

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%204-11&version=ESV

Genesis 4

v. 8: "Cain spoke to Abel his brother.."

What did they talk about; before Cain killed him?

v. 9: "Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said,"I do not know; am I my brother’s keeper?""

Cain had the chance to tell the truth to the Lord, but instead he acts "witty". That's why you always tell the truth.

v.16: "Then Cain went away from the presence of the LORD and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden."

How does anyone move from the presence of the Lord. What happened to omnipresence?.

The rest is a geneology. @.@ too many names.

Murder is added to the list of sin.

Genesis 5

v. 5: Adam lived til 930..He's old.

v. 8: Seth lived til 912.

v. 11: Enosh lived til 905.

v. 14: Kenan lived til 910.

v. 17: Mahalalel lived til 895.

v. 20: Jared lived til 965.

v. 23-24: Enoch lived (and walked with God) 365 years before God took him. 365 days in a year!

v. 27: Methuselah lived til 969.

v. 31: Lamech lived til 777. 777 >666

They lived for a long time...

Genesis 6

v.3: Man's life span reduced to 120 years. That's still a lot. Jeanne Calment lived til 122 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_Calment).

v. 4: Giants? Nephilim. Explains people like Yao Ming.

v. 6-7: God is sorry for making man...That makes me feel good..-__-;; I thought it was all good? Omniscience..right?

Only Noah and his family is saved from the impending doom.

Lust is another sin added to the list? (v. 1-2)

Genesis 7

Water prevailed for 150 days. Dang. But how do fish die from the rain? Do fish really drown?

Genesis 8

v. 7: A raven.

v. 21: The smell of burnt offering (clean animals) was pleasing. God is obviously not vegan.

Genesis 9

v. 8-17: Covenant to never flood the earth again, via [rain] bow.

v. 20-28: Wine messed up Noah. Dang. Drunkardness is added to the list of sin.

Genesis 10

Sons = places. Egypt, Canaan.

Nimrod = awesome [hunter]

Genesis 11

v.4: Build a city and tower that reaches the heavens to make a name out of themselves lest they are wiped out. Not for God.

v.7: "let US" go go go trinity!

v.9: God dispersed the people. He made Koreans!

v. 10-26: The age of having a child was younger and they died younger :(

Abram and Sarai! And stupid Lot!

Genesis 1-3

Genesis 1:
v. 3-5: Day 1: Light and Darkness. It was good.
v. 6-8: Day 2: Heaven.
v. 9-10: Day 3: Earth. IT was good.
v. 11-13: Day 3: Vegetation. It was good.
v. 14-19: Day 4: Sun, Moon and stars. It was good.
v. 20-23: Day 5: Birds and fish. It was good.
v. 24-25: Day 6: Crawling livestock. It was good.
v 26-31: Day 6: Man. It was good.

It was ALL VERY good. Even if He doesn't say that for heaven, they were ALL very good in the end. Yay!

v. 28: God says, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it..." What does this subduing mean? Farm it? Probably.
v. 30 (favorite verse): "'And to every beast on the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.' And it was so."
If God can provide for animals, how much more He could provide for us. Kinda like Matthew 6:25+! (please see disclaimer)

Genesis 2:
v.6: a mist was growing up from the land and watering the whole face of the ground. Dang, that is crazy.
v.9: tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Why not take the tree of life and find the knowledge of good and evil by living a long life? (haha I'm just saying!)
v.24: Man and wife = one flesh.

Rivers: Pishon (Havilah [gold]), Gihon (Cush), Tigris (Assyria), Euphrates. (v.10-14)

Lonely guy amongst animals => happy guy with wife.
I don't see why our generation is so against a wife. Look at how happy Adam was! (even if Man fell due to said wife..)

Genesis 3:
v.1: The serpent was the craftiest that the Lord made. Obviously a reason why!
v.8: "hid from the presence of the Lord" How is that possible? Jonah would be envious!
v.12: Something David would EXACTLY say, except teasingly. Scapegoat :(
v. 13: But women usually blame the blame on someone else. Go go go blame game.
v.14: "On your belly you will go." Evolution of snake? From legs to belly?
v.16: So..she's the reason why we must suffer in childbirth. Dang..
v. 22: "Behold, the man has become like one of US..." Trinity, yeah?

Adam made us hunger for bread :(
