How can the Bible make the claim that two shall become one flesh?
The Bible can make the claim that two shall become one flesh because it does not mean it literally. It means that the two people will work together and be on the same page when making decisions.Jewish answer:The traditional interpretation of this phrase (Genesis ch.2) is that the husband and wife become one flesh in their children (Rashi commentary, ibid), since the flesh of the children is made possible by what both the husband and wife contributed.
On what day were dry land and seas created according to the Bible?
In the creation story of Genesis chapter 1, the dry land and the seas were pre-existing - they were not created. Most English language translations incorrectly attribute creation of the sea and the land to God, by saying "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." As long ago as the eleventh century CE, the influential Jewish scholar, Rashi, said that Genesis 1:1 should be read, "When God began to create" or "In the beginning of God's creation ". E.A. Speiser, in Genesis (Anchor Bible series), goes further and translates the sentence as: "When God set about to create heaven and earth - the world being a formless waste, with darkness over the seas... God said, 'Let there be light.' And there was light." Robert Alter (Genesis Translation and Commentary) concurs, translating the first sentence as "When God began to create heaven and earth, and the water was welter and waste and darkness over the deep and God's breath hovering over the waters ..."Genesis 1:1 to 2:4a ( up to first sentence of 2:4) says there was a pre-existing watery chaos. The ocean was already present and a wind moved across the surface. The seas rested on the dry land, which appeared on day 3 when God gathered the waters together.AnswerThe components which went into creating the sea and land were created on day one, but formed into seas and land and named on day three.
Explain creation ex nihilo?
reation 'ex nihilo' means creation out of nothing. Most ancient religions placed implicit limits on the power of the gods, and therefore usually did not claim that creation was entirely ex nihilo. Many experts in Hebrew have carefully examined the creation accounts in Genesis and confirm that they are not 'ex nihilo'. In both creation stories, the basics were already there - the waters, the dry land, the wind and therefore the air.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
Story explaining how the world was formed?
Here's one: Genesis ch.1. Day by day, God created the universe and its contents.God created the universe out of nothing (Exodus 20:11, Isaiah 40:28; Rashi commentary to Genesis 1:14; Maimonides' "Guide," 2:30).Note that the Torah, in describing the Creation, deliberately employs brevity and ellipsis, just as it does in many other topics. See the Talmud, Hagigah 11b.On day 1: God created the universe in general, light, and this Earth. The light was not the same as that of the sun. Rather, it was light that God created before the sun, and which emanated from a point in space without any physical source; like what we might term a "white hole."On day 2: God created the separation between the Earth and the upper atmosphere.On day 3: God separated the continents from the oceans, and created plants.On day 4: God created the sun, moon, and stars.On day 5: God created birds and fish.On day 6: God created animals and people.On day 7: God ceased creating, thereby creating the concept of rest.See also:Is there evidence against Evolution?Can you show that God exists?Seeing God's wisdom
Did Methuselah die in the flood?
Tradition states that Methusaleh died seven days before the Flood (Rashi commentary, Genesis 7:4).Answer 2Did Methuselah Die During the Global Flood? by Brad Harrub, Ph.D.In Genesis chapter 5, Moses recorded the genealogy of Adam. The name that commonly stands out in that list is Methuselah. Methuselah is the oldest person recorded in Scripture, and his name is often used today when referring to something or someone very old. In verse 21 of that chapter, we learn that Methuselah was the son of Enoch. We are then informed: Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty-seven years, and begot Lamech. After he begot Lamech, Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years, and had sons and daughters. So all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years; and he died. Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years and had a son (vss. 25-28). Lamech's son was Noah. The Bible records in Genesis 7:6 that Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters were on the Earth. In light of this information, we can take the age of Methuselah when Lamech was born (187), add to that Lamech's age when he begot Noah (182) and the age of Noah when the floodwaters came (600), and determine that Methuselah was 969 years old the year the Flood occurred [187+182+600=969]. Since Genesis 5:27 indicates this was the age at which Methuselah died, it is logical to conclude that he died the year of the Flood. However, the Bible does not indicate that he died as a result of the Flood. [Remember, his father was Enoch, one of a select few who walked with God and was taken directly by God, not experiencing death. Thus, Methuselah's father was a very righteous man, who undoubtedly set a proper example for his son.] While the exact meaning of Methuselah's name is unknown, many scholars have suggested that it means: "When he dies, it shall be sent," implying that the Flood would result when Methuselah died (Morris, 1976, p. 160). But, here again, we cannot be certain and should not be dogmatic.
