Genesis 2.2 – Does God Need to Rest?

Genesis 2.2 – Does God Need to Rest?

In many verses of the Bible, God is described as omnipotent or all-powerful. In Genesis 17:1, God describes Himself to Abraham by saying, “I am Almighty God.” Abraham’s son, Isaac, in blessing his son Jacob, said: “May God Almighty bless you….” The omnipotent nature of God can be seen throughout the Bible. The psalmist wrote: “Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite” (Psalm 147:5). From such verses, we get the idea that God can do anything that can be accomplished with power. We also get the idea that God’s power never runs out, and He does not get tired. As Isaiah wrote: “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary” (40:28).

Genesis 1:31 – Was God Satisfied with His Creation or Not?

Genesis 1:31 – Was God Satisfied with His Creation or Not?

At evilbible.com, a website that purports to “spread the vicious truth about the Bible” (2013), the very first alleged “obvious contradiction” listed involves Genesis 1:31 and Genesis 6:6. Since Genesis 1:31 says, “God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good,” and Genesis 6:6 reveals that “the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart,” the Bible is said to be contradictory and untrustworthy. Allegedly, the Lord could not be both satisfied and dissatisfied with His Creation.

No Scientifically-Proven Evidence for Evolution

No Scientifically-Proven Evidence for Evolution

Charles Darwin did not offer any scientifically-proven evidence for his theory. The book On the Origin of Species did not prove that species arise from the process of natural selection. At best it  demonstrated that species adapt through various processes. A century and a half has passed since Darwin published his thesis, and the scientific proof remains elusive. In fact, remove the evolutionary assumptions, and the “evidence” disappears.

Genesis 1:28 – Does this passage justify deforestation, pollution, and animal cruelty?

Genesis 1:28 – Does this passage justify deforestation, pollution, and animal cruelty?

Of course, so-called Christians have used the Bible inappropriately to justify much cruelty. But we shouldn’t ask if the Bible has been used to justify cruelty, but instead, does the Bible teach cruelty. This passage doesn’t teach that humans should be cruel to animals or the planet, but that we should be stewards of it. In fact, at the end of human history, God will judge people based on how they treat the Earth. John writes, “The time came for the dead to be judged… to destroy those who destroy the earth” (Rev. 11:18). Moreover, Solomon writes, “A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal” (Prov. 12:10).

Genesis 1:27 – Not Enough Hours in the Day

Genesis 1:27 – Not Enough Hours in the Day

In an effort to show the days of the creation week should not be interpreted as 24-hour days, several old-earth creationists have argued that the events of Day Six could not have fit within a single day. Skeptics and critics have used the same argument in their attempts to find contradictions in Scripture. The late old-earth creationist, Dr. Gleason Archer, summarized the problem this way:
