Genesis and Laws and Firsts

1. The Law of Sin and Human Nature

2. The Work of Satan on Earth

• Doubt: Authorship, Accuracy, Acceptability
• Denial - contravene God's word
• Delusion

Book of Firsts

1. 1st Prophecy: the 2 comings of Christ - Gen 3 - declaration of war vs. serpent
2. False religion: way of Cross as stipulated or Cain - forceful
3. First martyr - Abel

Thoughts on Genesis

1. God is the Author of an intricate and delicately woven together Book of 66 books.

2. Genesis: turn hearts of children to fathers (Abraham, Issac, Jacob)

3. History of Mankind and History of Israel

4. Creator and Creature
- God calls things into being - Sovereign, not a debate
- Delight is structured into creation: Proverbs 8:30-31
- all philosophical and political questions subordinated to this relationship
- source of all meaning: beyond myth and science
- Creature: mix of faithful obedience and prideful self-assertion

5. Difference e.g. Babylonian Genesis and True Genesis
- God creates vs, petty gods fight
- Man imago dei vs Man created (blood of Tiamet by Marduk) to be slaves

6. Imago Dei: 
- Male and Female: sexual identity part of God's will for creation but not aspect of Creator
- Only in a community of humankind is God reflected - relational (that's why liberals are so lonely as they destroy that they yearn for)
