Genesis chapter 1 account of creation is different to chapter 2
The alleged contradictions between chapters 1 and 2 in the book of Genesis are: Chp1 v11 has grass, plants and trees made on day 3 Chp2 v8 has grass, plants and trees made after man on day 6 Chp1 v20 has birds made out of water on day 5 Chp2 v19 has birds made out of the ground on day 6 Chp1 v24 has animals made before man on day 6 Chp2 v19 has animals made after man on day 6 Christian Terminologies - Righteousness, Justification, Redemption, Propitiation, Imputation8/4/2020
Paul has proved beyond a shadow of doubt in the Book of Romans that the whole of mankind is under condemnation. That is the problem that these doctrines solve. “There is none righteous, no, not one” (Romans 3:10 NKJV). Some might try to argue that they have tried to live a good and honest life, but the Bible tells us that our righteousness, our good works and best efforts are like filthy rags in the sight of God (Isaiah 64:6). We do not possess a righteousness that is acceptable to God.
If that was the end of the matter then we would be left with a very sorry picture indeed; everyone of us on our way to a lost eternity. But Paul is going to show that where there was no way, God made a way. The phrase comes from the Bible when Jesus answered a Pharisee called Nicodemus (John 3:1)
John 3:3 “Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (NKJV) |
