What is your favorite story or verse in the Book Of Genesis?

My absolute favorite story in Genesis is the story of Joseph, where his brothers sell him into slavery and he ends up becoming the top person in Egypt right underneath Pharaoh.  The best part of the story is when his brothers come to Egypt to get food for their family, and Joseph ends up telling them who he is and that he forgives them of everything that they did to him.  It takes a strong man of God to do something like that.  I admire him for that.

Proverbs 23:25\nLet your father and your mother be glad, And let her rejoice who gave birth to you. New American Standard\n\nThis is a really cool blessing from the Old Testament\nNumbers 6:24-26\n24 "The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; 26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace."

Biblical scholars contend that Genesis was written by several authors over many, many years. They also feel that most of Genesis is based on other stories that are much older and existed as oral tales for a long time. \n\nWithin the Bible, the texts saying that the Bible is inspired by God refer to the Laws and the Prophets, not the histories, lists, or geneologies.\n\nI believe it is full of stories that reveal various lessons and aspects of God- neither really allegory nor fact.

See Colossians 1:13-17 and Proverbs 8:22-31 and you will see that God's first creation was his firstborn angelic son, Jesus.  This occured even before Genesis 1:1 took place.

You should have read Genesis first  to formulate a good question. The Bible doesn't begin with Adam and Eve, rather "In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth"...Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light (Gen 1:1-3).\n\nGen 1:24-25 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth all kinds of living creatures: cattle, creeping things, and wild animals of all kinds." And so it happened: \nGod made all kinds of wild animals, all kinds of cattle, and all kinds of creeping things of the earth.\n\nThe Bible is not to be treated like an Almanac, Encylopedia nor wikipedia. Because if you do, you'll end up looking also for lemurs, armadillo etc.

Hmm. Which account of creation do you mean, the one in Genesis chapter one or the other one in chapter two?\n\n The "chapter one version" does not say either way.\n\n The "chapter two version" says man was created from dust, it  also says women were made from ribs.\n\n Mmmmmm.. Ribs are tasty.\n\n The answer is that the second account of creation in the bible evolved from the first account. It is certainly more creative and detailed fiction, than it's ancestor.

The Lost Chapter of Genesis\n \nAdam was hanging around the garden of Eden feeling very lonely. \n\nSo God asked him, "What's wrong with you?" \n\nAdam said he didn't have anyone to talk to. \n\nGod said that He was going to make Adam a companion and that it would be a woman. \nHe said, "This pretty lady will gather food for you, she will cook for you, and when you discover clothing, she will wash it for you. \n"She will always agree with every decision you make and she will not nag you and will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will praise you!  "She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. \n"She will never have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it." \n\nAdam asked God, "What will a woman like this cost?" \n\nGod replied, "An arm and a leg." \n\nSo Adam asked, "What can I get for a rib?" \n\nThe rest is history....

I don't know about in genesis, but I've always found ecclesiastes 3:19-21 interesting.\n\n"Man's fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath (or spirit); man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?"\n\njust some food for thought.

These are some of my favorites:\n\nWhen my father and my mother forsake me,\nThen the LORD will take care of me. Psalm 27:10\n\nTherefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. I Peter 5:6-7\n \nAs a father pities his children,\nSo the LORD pities those who fear Him.\nFor He knows our frame;\nHe remembers that we are dust. Psalm 103:13-14\n \nAre not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. Matthew 10:29-31\n \nYou number my wanderings;\nPut my tears into Your bottle;\nAre they not in Your book? Psalm 56:8\n\nBut Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” John 6:68-69 \n\n\n“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. Father, glorify Your name.” John 12:27-28\n\nHe who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:32

Ever read Genesis 1-3?** \n\n1. Genesis 1-26"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."\n.....\nGenesis 1-28And 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. \n\n\never think it is odd how true this is even today? How did they know that there was not some thing more "evoled" then them on the Earth?\n\n2.  Genesis 1-27"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. "\nWhe did God not tell us we "evolved"? is his word not true? \n\n3. Genesis 1-11 "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."\n\n"...and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself" Why did God tell us this? We know this to be true anyone can just look as see this. Do you think God may have put it this way for us today?  This done not tell us that God will make a fruit tree in to a pine tree overtime.\n\n4.God is the God of DNA.... if God mad DNA why not reuse some of the same DNA? This dose mean that we "evolved" \n\n5. Why can the people who say we "evolved" not find ALL the bones to back it up? If ech. step was 10,000,000+- or so should we not be diging up bones all over?

Proverbs 3: 5, 6. \n\ni was at the lowest point in my life 18 years ago. had a serious drug issue & was contimplating suicide when this scripture came to mind. i chanted it all night like a mantra until i fell asleep. \n\nwoke up the next day, looked in the mirror & saw the most beautiful woman i had ever seen in my whole life - me.  i ain't talking about physical aesthetic - no - beyond that. i cried, gave myself a hug & decided that come what may, me & Jah got this.\n\njust sharing this makes me well up...

One of my favorite Bible stories involves a prophet gone wrong and a talking mule.\n\nIt's funny when the mule asks the prophet why he is beating his poor defenseless mule.\n\nWhat's even funnier though, is that he answers the mule like it talks to him all of the time :)\n\nThe moral of the story?  Don't beat yer mule.\n\nOkay, there is more to it than this, but when you are teaching little kids, he does make em giggle.
