In Genesis 1:27, God is in the process of creating man. God did this and was very specific to create this man in His own image(Genesis 1:27, NIV). One other thing that set apart this man God had created is stated in Genesis 2:7. In this verse it is explained that God breathed the life into man to make him living(Genesis 2:7, NIV). Now in previous verses God is creating everything in the earth, but the thing that sets the creation of man apart from this, is being made in His image and having His breath breathed into man.
In genesis two Humans are made from dust of the earth, making them part of the physical world, making them physical and spiritual beings, different from animals and plants. However in genesis 2 it states that God created man first, from dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. Then because God believed that it was not good for man to be alone he would create a ‘helper’. Man found no one suitable so God put him into a deep sleep and removed one of his ribs out of this he created women. Christians therefore question if men are superior to women, as God made him first and Eve was only created for Adam, out of his own body.
In both stories the gods or God struck down a flood as a symbol of their anger as well. Lastly, at the end of each story, the once perfect creation became cursed, whether it was with sin, or ignorance. Also there are many differences in Genesis and Popol Vuh. First of all, Genesis is a part of the Bible that explains how God created humans. Also Genesis says that there is only one God who created the earth and humans with words.
“This book stands tall, high above all enemies, and we call it ‘The Bible’.” This quote, describes in a few words, Pastor Steve Braynon’s thoughts of the Great Book. Not everyone shares the same beliefs as Mr. Braynon. The Bible is a very controversial book. People often wonder if it’s based on facts or if it’s made up. Real or not, the Word of God still has a past.
“A Journey Through The Old Testament” SUMMARY: For many Christians the Old Testament is daunting and confusing. The books are long and speak about a culture dramatically different form our own. This wonderful book by Elmer L. Towns, “A Journey Through the Old Testament” does not substitute for reading the Old Testament, but Mr. Towns has provided a wonderful “journey” in understanding the people of the Old Testament and a view of the Coming Messiah. His works speak to the intellect as well as to the heart of how God prepared the world in His image – and His hope for mankind.
Genesis 1 shows a transcendent God, who created the world in 6 days through speech, similar to the prime mover developed by Aristotle. This is compared to the immanent God in Genesis 2, who crafted Adam and Eve. The God shown in Job 38 is comparable to this as he is seen as an artist or designer, laying the foundations of the world. Aquinas’ view of this is not whether or not the world had a start- this is not important. What is important is that God causes everything that exists, to exist.
In addition, the Gospel of Isaiah refers to God as creator on multiple occasions: ‘Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth’ (Isaiah 40:28). Furthermore, Descartes believes that God is the creator of the ‘eternal truths.’ In a series of letters in 1630, Descartes voiced the view that ‘the mathematical truths which you call eternal have been laid down by God and depend on Him entirely no less than the rest of His creatures.’ The Bible tells us of two creation stories, both by the hand of God. The first one is known as ‘The Seven Days of Creation’ (Genesis Chapter One) and is the idea that God created the Earth within the space of seven days, as well as creating it from nothing (creatio ex nihilo).
During the time of Arius, the true nature of Jesus Christ resided at the top of a controversy list, which had many in the church quarreling. In a time prior to the ecumenical councils when the church’s view of Christ was not concretely established, Arius was purposing an angelic Christ. In this paper, I will detail that although the Christian church has sought to clear the misconceptions of Arianism through the centuries, it is still being practiced. I assert that modern day Arianism can be found in the theology of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. This is the organization responsible for leading and instructing the modern Christian
Credibility Statement: I have gained an understanding on this topic through the careful studying of the holy bible within my family as well as instinsive research.

All Christians must be able to give a defense for the hope that is in them, so that the truth will be upheld in every circumstance. The New Apostolic Reformation The teachings of the NAR (New Apostolic Reformation) are nothing new they have been around before the 1950’s, which scholars believe connect to the “Latter Rain Movement”. Many of the leaders in NAR were involved with the “Latter Rain” movement such as, C. Peter Wagner, Bob Jones, and Rick Joyner, just to name a few. The Assemblies of God actually refuted this movement in 1949. “Satan sold them the lie that "unity" is the principal thing and thus they dethroned and eventually jettisoned purity and truth.
