The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Hey Christian, let's read the entire bible. We'll do it one chapter at a time.

Genesis 1

1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

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.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Some things I noticed while reading this chapter

Strange things

1 Earth and plants created before the sun and moon(verse 10 and 11 for the creation of dry land and plants - verse 14 for light and the sun and the moon)

2 Good makes light twice - verse 3 God said let there be light and verse 14, let there be lights in the firmament

3. God made a firmament and divided waters below and above firmament ' the firmament was called heaven and everything below was called earth - this makes it sound like heaven is a place literally up in the sky the way people thought in the medieval era

4. It says god put lights on firmament ' sun moons and stars.' So does that mean heaven is space & universe - what is the waters above the firmament that is being talked about is there some kind of waters surrounding the universe

5. Creation takes 6 days and not billions of years

Accuracies

1. Initially everything ws formless void

2. The Earth was covered in water bf continets appeared (see https://www.newscientist.com/article/2130266-early-earth-was-covered-in-a-global-ocean-and-had-no-mountains/)

Other notes

It says God commands man to replenish and subdue the earth - the word subdue sounds like it has environmental implications

The thing that confuses me is it says God created man before He created Adam.

>26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

>26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likenes

>26 And God said, Let us make man

>Let us make man

>us

Plural. Notice this is in many translations. Multiple God. Did aliens make humans?

Thrn later Jesus continually mentions returns from different messenger, prophets, farmhands, etc

There are aliens and they look like humans.

Us refers to the Trinity.

This was never going to work.

I ran into a commentary that clarified some things about the firmament - this person is interpreting it as the atmosphere - which contains evaporated water. Initally the earth had a thick atmosphere that wouldn't allow the sun and stars to be visible, as it cleared up the sun moon and stars became visible in the firmament (stars) as the genesis creation account states. That's an intersting take

>. firmament–an expanse–a beating out as a plate of metal: a name given to the atmosphere from its appearing to an observer to be the vault of heaven, supporting the weight of the watery clouds. By the creation of an atmosphere, the lighter parts of the waters which overspread the earth's surface were drawn up and suspended in the visible heavens, while the larger and heavier mass remained below. The air was thus "in the midst of the waters," that is, separated them; and this being the apparent use of it, is the only one mentioned, although the atmosphere serves other uses, as a medium of life and light.

> let there be lights in the firmament–The atmosphere being completely purified, the sun, moon, and stars were for the first time unveiled in all their glory in the cloudless sky; and they are described as "in the firmament" which to the eye they appear to be, though we know they are really at vast distances from it.

Firmament literally = "the sky"

Very simple.

God put the sun and moon in the sky? Well, if I look at the sky right now, I'll see the moon, so I'd say the Bible is pretty accurate right there.

Reading through the bible through the first time actually. Got to Psalms. This is a good idea overall.

Man adam = new Man("Adam");

eyyy me too. I'm almost done with Psalms

I thought the program was already executing by verse 1. So there would be a for loop that made several men before Adam.

Clearly It's interpreted, not compiled

Give me a few minutes until my laughter stops and I’ll try to come up with a serious response.
