GENESIS:

1-2: God simply created everything, the Heavens and Earth. The created teaches us that God is creative and he is in control of all. Then he created man in his image, and told then to be fruitful. He provided everything we and the animals needed to live. There was morning and evening on the sixth day. On the seventh and final day of creation God rested. I think this means we also need rest. He made a helper for man and then was women from the rib of Adam. God gave the gift of marriage to Adam and Eve. They were both naked and felt no shame.

3-5. The serpent asked Eve if God really said they couldn't eat from any tree in the garden. Eve said we can eat fruit but not the fruit from the tree in the middle. Satan tries too make Eve think sin was good. Eve sins then they are both shameful of their nakedness. Adam blames Eve for the sin when Gods asked him. God kicks them out of the garden. This introduces good and evil into the world. Eve gave birth to Cain and Abel. Adam and Eve had to work for things now, unlike in the garden. Cain kills Abel out of jealously. It says in 4:17, Cain has a wife??? Where did she come from? Was it his sister or cousin, because it say God told Adam and Eve to fill the earth. So were they related? Has a lot of names and ages that relate Adam to Noah. How did these people live so long? After Noah was 500 years old he became father of Shem, Ham and Japheth. I think this profess that all of mankind is related. Mankind is a family of one flesh one blood.

6-11: The "son of God" came down and married daughters. Some think they were fallen angels but angels can get married or have relations. The lord gave Noah 120 years to change. Then Noah builds the arch. He tells him to get 2 of every animal, a male and a mate. Tells him in seven days they will be rains and a flood. Was the flood local or universal, I think we talked about that enough in class. After 40 days Noah sent the bird out and it came back with positive report.
