Notes On Genesis

Genesis 1:14
I think he’s talking about the stars here too. Which fits in with the idea that ancient humans knew about the precession of the stars.

Genesis 1:31
Everything was good. But when he made humans, everything was very good. This hints that humans are good by nature. But that also working in harmony with nature and the earth is a major factor in what makes us good.

Genesis 2:24
This suggests the natural cycle of a man. A lot of people now aren’t doing this. They’re man toddlers, living with their parents in their 40s.

Genesis 3:5
Pitting Eve against God. Already planting in her mind that he’s hiding something from her.

Genesis 3:22
What would happen if he did live forever? Would man become a god?

Genesis 4:5
Instead of working out how to make a better offering, Cain shifts the blame.

Genesis 4:7
Sin is always there, ready to pounce. Are you going to make it easy for it? If you pick a noble aim, and you sacrifice what is required towards that noble aim, you will defend yourself against that sneaky creature called sin.

Genesis 4:9
He already knew. So he asked him as a chance to confess. Which hints that truth can be an option, and the best option, even in the worst scenario.

Genesis 4:12
If you commit the biggest crime, you’ll always be restless. It’ll haunt you and you’ll be outcast from your entire society.

Genesis 4:15
You don’t even get the privilege of being noticed or interacting with others. You are marked and they will totally avoid you.

Genesis 4:24
Killing people over a minor issue. Hints that sin is generational. It ripples through time and can get worse exponentially.
