How Do You Explain The Difference in Gen 1 and Gen 2

[Rocky Wiley]

Gen 1:28 And 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.

Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Gen 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

 

[101G]

Addressing the OP only. the difference is chapter 2 give detail account of chapter 1. it fills in what we think are missing in chapter 1. but it reveals much more about chapter 1. for example, man was "formed" on day 3 and was made male and female on day 6. this is whay the apostle Paul was saying about the Godhead, one who is "another" of one's ownself. scripture, Romans 1:19 "Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them."

what was manifested?, the "another of one's self in flesh". Romans 1:20 "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"

what was made? "another" adam... the woman. two of the same flesh, two of the same bone, but no blood.

so chapter 2 really details the Godhead as understanding the plurality of God as the "another" of his ownself in flesh.

Gen 1:28 And 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.

Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Gen 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

In the Hebrew of Genesis 1:26-27, there is a difference between the word 'aadaam'. In one place it has the article and particle, meaning the specific man Adam. And in the other place it is just the word 'aadaam' without the article and particle, which means 'mankind'.

eth'ha'aadaam (verse 26) = this man Adam; whom God formed in His Garden to till the soil.
aadaam (verse 27) = mankind, the races of man outside God's Garden.

The 1927 book Sargon The Magnificent documents how the Assyriologists tweaked their translation of the Babylonian cuneiform tablet history of when Sargon I first appeared among the ancient Sumerians. Bristowe makes a strong argument that Sargon I, a Semite that appeared among the Sumerian peoples around 3800 B.C., was actually Cain, making ancient Sumer the real Biblical "land of Nod" where God cast Cain out to. It is a scholarly work, so be prepared to dig if you read it.

The ancient Babylonian cuneiform tablets contain the earliest written account of a creation story. Just because of it being older than the written Bible, some deceived pastors put their trust in the Babylonian account being more accurate. They actually show they haven't really read the Babylonian tablet account, but have just taken other's word for it. The Babylonian account, which Bristowe's book covers, is very convoluted and only hints at some parallels to The Bible account. The Genesis creation account is the accurate one, even though it was written later. The Babylonian tablet account is the corrupted 'pagan' idolater's account of God's creation. That is what the pagans do, they corrupt the things of God's creation. However, the fact that ancient Sumer with Sargon I involves even a corrupted creation account further gives proof that Sargon I may well have been the Cain of The Bible, and ancient Sumer the real "land of Nod."

As another example of how pagan idolaters corrupt God's truth, E.W. Bullinger went to ancient ruins in ancient civilizations to trace the archaeological history of the Zodiac signs. He documented his findings in his book called The Witness of The Stars. In that work he shows how the pagans had corrupted the original names and meanings of the Zodiac constellations. He showed the original names and meanings align directly with God's Word. In other words, God's Word was written in the star constellations before it was written down on paper.
