I will go first...
I have been reading Genesis 1-49 the past months.. Very good, some parts can be a bit boring though..
It starts out talking about how the EVERYTHING was created, how we all became full of sin, because Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. And that they were kicked out of eden, where there is now tall angels guarding the entrance to edan holding swords. It talks about the first murder of Cane and Able and how Cain killed Able over jealousy, and how Abel’s blood called out to God. Cain then fled in fear from god but was eventually killed himself.
Then It went on about how the people on earth had become corrupt and evil, so God told Noah to build an Arc and take his 3 sons, their wives, his wife, and 2 of every animal, male and female. Then for 40 days and 40 nights it rained. When it was done raining, Noah and the others waited for all the water to dry up, and sent out a bird, it came back with nothing. Then he sent out another bird and it came back with a branch, and the 3rd time he sent the bird out it did not return, so Noah knew they could all finally live the boat. And as a promise that God will never flood the earth again he put a Rainbow in the sky as proof to his commitment.
After a while It went on about the generations and onto Abra who God renamed Abraham, meaning Man of many Children or Nations, and gave his barren wife a child in her late age named Isaac. Then God asked Abraham to Sacrifice Isaac. Abraham did as God told him and took Isaac up the mountain, prepared the alter, and was about to sacrifice his son when God stopped him and gave him a ram to sacrifice instead. God was very pleased and blessed Abraham and his family..
Ok, I will stop here for now and continue this latter..
Now it is your turn, what have you read???
