What About Dinosaurs

Job 40:15-19 ““Behold, Behemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox. Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly. He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like bars of iron. “He is the first of the works of God; let him who made him bring near his sword!”

God Created Man

The use of “our”

In Our image

Male and Female

Blessing and Two Commands

Be fruitful and multiply

Have dominion

Vegetarianism

God gave the plants to be eaten.

This changed after the flood.

Genesis 9:3 “Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.”

This practice also changed after the fall of man.

This is a major issue for evolution.

Very Good

In this passage we have the sixth and seventh declaration that the creation was “good.”

The seventh declaration is an emphatic declaration.

The Sixth Day

A different construction

Thoughts on Day 6

Mankind is unique amongst creation.

We have a duty to be good stewards of the planet.

Our sexuality is rooted in creation.
