As I am reading through my new Bible, there have been questions that arise. I will share them here and if you have answers for me, you can comment or email me. I would greatly appreciate it.
My first observation was that in the garden of Eden, God prioritized rawness higher than honesty. For example, God knew that Adam and Eve had eaten of the fruit, but he asked them anyway, because He wants us to be honest with Him. All He wanted was an honest answer.
I'm confused about Genesis 4:7, "...Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master." This is hinting that you are able to live without sin and that confuses me.
I also wonder what the mark God put on Cain was.
It also occurs to me a year is never specified as 365 days. A year could have been what we call a month, and so the people weren't really living to 900 years old.
Genesis 8:22 states how global warming is not a thing.
In Genesis 10:5 it states how the tower of Babel wasn't the first place to have different languages. Also 10:25.
Another question I had was, in Genesis 12, Abram was deceitful to Pharaoh about who Sarai really was, but God blessed him anyway. Why was lying to Pharaoh ok in this instance? Isn't lying always frowned upon?
That's as far as I've gotten in my bible so far, but I'm sure lots more questions will arise.
