Genesis
It seems that the first passage 1:1-2:4a is about the creation of Earth and the Heavens in seven days. And it appears that the second passage 2:2b-24 describes the creation of Adam and Eve. In comparison of the two passages they both talk about rest. Life always begins with rest. In 2:21 he put a deep sleep upon the man, rest, to begin with the creation of Adam’s helper, Eve. And after the six days

Genesis 22
Throughout the Old Testament, God poses many challenges for people both in the sense of entire nations to individuals as well. In each instance there was a purpose for the challenges. Sometimes God was looking to see how people would act and follow laws and other times he wanted to test them. In Genesis 22 God posed a test for Abraham. He commanded him to travel to Moriah and offer his son Isaac to him

Gilgamesh
Gilgamesh Different religions have very opposing views on how a god relates to a human. In Christianity, of course, God is all powerful, but the religion such as in The Epic of Gilgamesh is quite different.

Gilgamish
The epic yarn Gilgamesh leaves me somewhat discouraged when I finished the book. This pessimistic ending is not the happy ending I was expecting to see considering the tragedies throughout of the rest of the story. The entire last part of the book, starting with Enkidu’s death, is nothing but more sorrow for Gilgamesh. The book seems to give Gilgamesh hope and then beat him down with more tragedy. It is almost as if the

Can God Create a Rock So Heavy He Can Not Move it?
