BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 1, Day 5: Psalm 148 & Job 38-40 with Genesis 1:1-25 in Mind

September 3, 2020August 30, 2020 by atozmom, posted in BSF Genesis 2020/2021

Summary of Psalm 148:

The writer is telling everyone and everything to praise Him because He created them, from the angels, sun, moon, and stars to the sea creatures, lightning, hail and more.

Summary of Job 38-40:

God points out to Job the fact that He is the Creator of the universe, and Job is but one puny man. God asks Job purely saracastically if he was there when the earth was formed, if he has given orders to the morning, or if he has an arm like God’s. Job responds to the vastness of God in Job 40 that he has no words and that he will speak no more.

BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 1, Day 5: Psalm 148 & Job 38-40 with Genesis 1:1-25 in Mind

13) God is amazing in all that He had done, does, and will continue to do. It amazes me how anyone can deny an Almighty God when passages such as these list all that God has created.

14) Personal Question. My answer: Just to be more in awe of God, who He is, praise Him more, and give Him credit more. Every time the sun rises and sets and you are privileged to see it, you should praise God. Every time you see a shooting star, watch a butterfly fly, or see a raptor soar, you should praise God. Every time you eat, drink, and make memories. Every time you do anything, it is all Him.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 1, Day 5: Psalm 148 & Job 38-40 with Genesis 1:1-25 in Mind

It’s kind of cool to read all that God has done and is done.

Psalm 148

Psalm 148 calls upon creation to praise God, from the angels and the heavenly bodies to every creation and thing on earth. God should be praised because He made all these things. He alone is God that deserves our worship, honor, and praise. God also deserves our praise because He has drawn near to us.

Job 38

God answers Job after deliberately not answering him in the first 35 chapters of the book. God calls Job to account, questions Job about what he doesn’t know, asks Job if he knows the boundaries of the sea, if he understands the nature of the earth, if he comprehends the nature of light, darkness, and the sky, if he understands rain and its effects, if he knows the nature of the constellations, the clouds, weather, and the human mind, and if he can understand and master the animal kingdom.

Job 39

God continues to question Job, asking him about mountain goats, wild donkeys, and wild oxen and donkeys. He asks him if he knows the ostriches, horses, and hawks and if he can master them.

Job 40

God asks Job now will he challenge Him? Job is speechless before the Almight God and is ashamed of his mouth (or the way he spoke). God asks Job if he is fit to prove Him wrong or to save himself. God uses the example of the Behemoth to show God’s might and Job’s weakness. The precise nature of the Behemoth remains unknown. Many believe it is the hippopotamus.

BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 1, Day 4: Genesis 1:14-25

September 2, 2020October 3, 2020 by atozmom, posted in BSF Genesis 2020/2021

Summary of Genesis 1:14-25:

On the fourth day, God made the stars, the sun, and the moon. God said this was good.

On the fifth day, God made the sea creatures and the birds according to their kind. He told them to multiply. God saw that this was good.

On the sixth day, God made the land animals according to their kind. God said this was good.

BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 1, Day 4: Genesis 1:14-25

9) On the fourth day, God made the stars, the sun, and the moon. God said this was good.

On the fifth day, God made the sea creatures and the birds according to their kind. He told them to multiply. God saw that this was good.

On the sixth day, God made the land animals according to their kind. God said this was good.

10) The lights on the 4th day are more specific. On the first day, God created light. On the 4th day, God created more light with a specific purpose: “to separate the day from the night, serve as signs to mark seasons, days, and years, and to give light on earth.” The stars, sun, and moon were to separate light from darkness and to govern the night and the day.

11) Personal Question. My answer: God knows what is good and what is not good. Thus, in our lives, God’s rules of how to live let us know what is good and what is not. It is clear-cut. Man does not have to decide. Instead, man frequently does what is not good against God’s wishes.

12) I have no answer for this. I have always believed, and when you look around at the amazing vastness and diversity of this earth, it is evident that only a higher power could create this. I think those who don’t believe in the Creator God choose to turn a blind eye, or God blinds them. They are in denial. Let’s face it, it’s easier this way; then you don’t have to follow God’s laws, and you can live as you choose.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 1, Day 4: Genesis 1:14-25

I love re-reading the formation of everything on this planet. It’s always so humbling to know how insignificant we truly are.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 1, Day 4: Genesis 1:14-25

Man has used God’s provision of the sun, moon, and stars to mark and measure time and direction since the beginning on humanity, as God has intended.

God knew exactly how far to set the sun from the earth. If the earth were closer or further from the sun, life as we know it would be impossible.

We see birds and sea creatures were created at the same time, not evolving slowly over millions of years.

The fossil record totally rejects the idea of millions of tiny changes. Most creatures stay the same over time.

Only an omnipotent God can create such a variety of land animals, and God shows His sense of humor, too, in the variety of unusual creatures that only a Creator could make up.

on the third day, god made plants atozmomm.com

BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 1, Day 3: Genesis 1:3-13

September 1, 2020October 3, 2020 by atozmom, posted in BSF Genesis 2020/2021

Summary of Genesis 1:3-13:

On the first day, God made light and called it day. He called the darkness night.

On the second day, God made the sky, separating it from the waters.

On the third day, God made God made dry ground, calling it land. The waters he called seas. This He said was good.

God made vegetation on the land, seed-bearing plants and trees that bore fruit and seed. This He said was good.

BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 1, Day 3: Genesis 1:3-13

5) On the first day, God made light and called it day. He called the darkness night.

On the second day, God made the sky, separating it from the waters.

On the thrid day, God made God made dry ground, calling it land. The waters he called seas. This He said was good.

God made vegetation on the land, seed-bearing plants and trees that bore fruit and seed. This He said was good.

6) Part Personal Question. My answer: Day is a particular period of time, and can be whatever you define it as. Our days are the time it takes the earth to complete one full rotation around its axis, encompassing both day and night. God’s days could have been shorter or longer; there truly is no way to know.

Some Bible scholars wonder if the days are geologic days and ages. Others refute this by saying that why would the writers who were inspired by God use the word “day” then? Again, there is no way to know except when we get to heaven and ask God.

7) “Let there be,” “and there was,” “God made,” “It was so,” “And God saw that it was good.”

8 ) Personal question. My answer: God is Almighty, the Creator, and what He says happens. He is in control always and forever. He can create as easy as He can destroy. God is awesome.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 1, Day 3: Genesis 1:3-13

Love the repetition. So powerful for emphasis. All feature God doing and creating while in control of everything.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 1, Day 3: Genesis 1:3-13

Note the first step from chaos is light. This holds true in our lives as well. God and the gospel are light (2 Corinthians 4:3-6).

God spoke. His word is enough. Remember that as you study God’s word — the Bible — throughout this year.

Genesis tells us that light, day, and night each existed before the sun and the moon were created on the fourth day (Genesis 1:14-19). In the new heavens and the new earth, there won’t be any sun or moon. God Himself will be the light (Revelation 22:5).

Land was in existence before; it was just covered by water; God gathers the water into one place and calls them seas.

god made the seas on day 3 atozmomm.com

Creation of Plants

Plants were created before the sun. If the days were geologic ages, how woudl the plants have survived?

Many say the stars, sun, and moon were created on the first day but weren’t visible until the fourth. (Revelation 21:23) tells us that we won’t need the sun, moon, or stars any longer. It could have been that in the beginning, the plants didn’t need them either.

The plants were created not as seeds, but as full-grown plants each bearing seeds. The chicken really did come before the egg.

According to its kind is a phrase that appears ten times in Genesis chapter 1. It means God allows variation within a kind, but something of one kind will never develop into something of another kind.

And God saw that it was good. God knows what is good and organizes His creation to result in something good.

God does not call the earth good until it has become habitable, a place where man can live. How awesome is that?!

genesis 1:1, God created the heavens atozmomm.com

BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 1, Day 2: Genesis 1:1-2

August 31, 2020October 3, 2020 by atozmom, posted in BSF Genesis 2020/2021

Genesis 1:1-2:

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.”

BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 1, Day 2: Genesis 1:1-2

3) God created the heavens and the earth. Creation was nothing, empty space, formless. God created everything from nothing. God is Almighty, powerful. Creation is all His.

4) Personal Question. My answer: God molded everything from nothing like Play-doh. Truly, there are no words how awesome this is.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 1, Day 2: Genesis 1:1-2

It’s like the darkness of a cave, which is about as pure dark as it gets here on earth. The beginning was darkness, nothing. Now, look at our world today and the beauty. Only an Almighty Creator can have such vision and power.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 1, Day 2: Genesis 1:1-2

There is a ton in Genesis so read each sentence carefully or you may miss something. Read slowly, for what happens in a single line may echo throughout all of history and for eternity.

God is the subject of the first sentence, and He does something — He creates. If you believe this first sentence of the Bible, then you believe the rest. This is the cusp. The original form of “God” here is plural, indicating the Holy Trinity, including Jesus, was present here.

To understand the vastness of the world, you only have to look to the stars. There are a million galaxies in one patch of sky. A galaxy contains on average 200 billion stars. The average distance between galaxies is 20 million trillion miles. The closest galaxy to ours, The Andromeda Galaxy, is 12 million trillion miles away.

What existed before God?

God is the uncreated Being, eternal, the Alpha and the Omega, without a beginning or an end.

In the beginning was the Holy Trinity, was the eternal purpose of God, was His plan.

Doesn’t it seem funny to you that mere humans even try to figure out God?

Any time God begins work, it’s with the Spirit of God.

When God formed the earth, it was already aged. Adam was not a baby, the trees were big trees, and the canyons were formed.

Fun Fact: The word “God” appears 30 times in the 31 verses of the first chapter of Genesis.

Fun Fact: There are at least 165 passages in Genesis that are either directly quoted or clearly referred to in the New Testament. If you count the verses that are quoted more than once, there are at least 200 quotes total.

Fun Fact: Fossils had to come after Adam since death did not exist before him.
