The biblical teaching is that no one has seen God, whether physical or visual.
What makes reading the Bible more fun is to connect dots, sew OT & NT Scripture together, making notes in the margins as you go.
The GN story indicates A&E sinned together or equally, "not that one type of labor is worse than another type". [I just now thought of that part in quotes--thanks!]

I didn't grow up in a denomination either. Honestly, I'm thankful. A quick search says there are over 45,000 denominations in the world, with over 200 in the U.S. That's wild.
I just heard sounds and at first I thought maybe it was church bells since it's Sunday. The sound started to get closer and I realized it is an ice cream truck. Am I the only one that's surprised that ice cream trucks still exist? lol.
Pardon my occasional off topic sporadic entries! I can't help myself!

Agreed, from the fullness of the heart, the mouth speaks (Matthew 12:34)
I'm glad you did to!
It's funny you ask that question, because last night I was wondering the same thing and calculated the amount of time. Interestingly, even though I've read the Bible through several times, I don't recall having bothered before to figure out how long it takes to read a certain amount of chapters a day. I guess I just decided to take a lifelong commitment to daily reading, so for me it'll be until death. But, to answer your question...
After today it will take approximately 236 days to read 5 chapters a day.
184 days after today will be spent in the Old Testament and 52 days will be spent in the New Testament.
Hope you don't mind, we're gonna be here a while!
You know what? I think that means we'll finish on July 4th! (if all my collections are correct)
LoL! Bless your heart. A similar thing happened to me back in 2014. Someone in SoCal tried to interest me in their cult. Their cult is all in Spanish, so I had to take some time to figure out what I'd be getting myself into. What I found out was, I wasn't going to get myself into anything lol. They reject the Trinity, claim Paul is the devil, and their "prophet" has falsely predicted the end of the world at least once. At least they didn't have a "god the mother" though
Oh, speaking of World Mission Society Church, last night I was curious about their locations. I really didn't think they'd have any churches in Oklahoma. I'd heard of them before, but never heard of any in Oklahoma. Well, come to find out, they have 4 churches in my state! One is only about an hour from me.

Okay, okay. I realize this isn't an ice cream study social (although, I kinda wish it was).
Anyway, yes I did read the next 5 chapters and noted a few of my thoughts. I decided to keep my notes a bit more minimal today, since some of my viewpoints in this section might be considered "out there."
Genesis 6
There are different ways that people look at Genesis 6. Personally, I am a believer that the Nephilim existed and old legends of fantastical beings with super powers are stories that were told of the Nephilim. One of my favorite books talks about this and is an excellent read... The Omega Conspiracy: Satan's Last Assault On God's Kingdom by Dr. I.D.E. Thomas. I've read it at least 4 times, and I plan to read it again.
Genesis 7
I believe Noah's Flood greatly changed the topography of Earth, resulting in mountains, canyons, etc.
Genesis 8
What I find touching and inspiring about this chapter is the Noah sent out the birds and when the dove came back with an olive branch he knew the water was abated. And then he uncovered the Ark and seen the dry land. But, he did not leave the Ark. He stayed until God told him to he could leave the Ark. It's important that we wait on the Lord's guidance.
Another thing I like about this chapter is that God promises that as long as the Earth exists there will always be day and night, seasons will always change, and crops will always grow food.
Genesis 9
We are given the covenant of the rainbow, which is very smashing and beautiful.
The part of this chapter involving the scene between Noah and Ham has been debated for ages. I've looked into some viewpoints on this occurrence, but I don't solidly espouse to any one of the viewpoints, except that it was a shameful act that led to Ham's son being cursed.
Genesis 10
I don't have much to say about this chapter, except I think Nimrod is an interesting character. I've studied his character in the past and need to do a refresher. I remember he mostly likely lined up with ancient historical figure(s). I should do an in-depth study soon.
Oh, I remembered a fascinating sermon that I thought I'd throw out here in case it's of interest while we are still in the beginning of Genesis.
Chinese characters and how they relate to the Book of Genesis
I just heard sounds and at first I thought maybe it was church bells since it's Sunday. The sound started to get closer and I realized it is an ice cream truck. Am I the only one that's surprised that ice cream trucks still exist? lol.

Chinese characters and how they relate to the Book of Genesis
Something to consider as you begin Old Testament
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. … And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.”
Genesis 1:1-4 KJV
the New testament fits in that structure but is revealing something more about the beginning
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
John 1:1-5
Im not sure you’ll notice the point but the two testament actually are working together to reveal Jesus Christ from the beginning

Chinese characters and how they relate to the Book of Genesis
Gen 7:11 - Not sure what "fountains of the great deep" mean. Seems like it is something in the ocean [It is amazing how much water is underground even now]
Yes, noticing how water seems to stand out in scripture from Genesis Chapter 1. Fountains of the great deep was mentioned earlier.
Gen 9:1 - God blessed Noah and his sons Gen 9:2 - God permits eating living things (meat) [Yay!]
Feeling is mutual😂
GN 9:6. “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed.” Capital punishment is appropriate for capital crimes
I noted this verse too but didn't post it because I know it will be discussed more throughout the Bible. I have not read about it in the New Testament. What defines capital crimes? I have to read the entire book to find it out and have a view on capital punishment in terms of government and His Word.
Gen 9:29 - Noah died at 950 years old. He lived longer than Adam who lived to 930 years old. It was stated previously that God walked with Noah. Noah saw the Lord and was the most righteous of his generation.
Apologies, I misspoke here. I was thinking of Abram when I stated that Noah saw the Lord. I had read some chapters ahead before posting this. The other statements are true about Noah.
Gen 10:22 - It states the "children" of Shem instead of "sons." The children of Shem are Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram [My translation still says "sons".]
It states "children" again following this verse. I was wondering if any of them were daughters but haven't researched it yet.
Gen 10:25 - The earth was divided in the days of Peleg son of Eber. [curious; what promoted the writer to say that?] Eber is son of Arphaxad who is son of Shem.
Same, that is why I took note

The biblical teaching is that no one has seen God, whether physical or visual
I'm not sure what is meant by " the biblical teaching." What I can say is that I believe in God's Word.
Gen 12:7 - "And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him." It is stated twice in one verse that the Lord appeared unto Abram. This stood out to me and was marked in my notes
What makes reading the Bible more fun is to connect dots, sew OT & NT Scripture together, making notes in the margins as you go.
In my case, this is my first read from Genesis to Revelation. I do not have the knowledge of what is ahead in scripture like you do. I will get there in due time💪

I didn't grow up in a denomination either. Honestly, I'm thankful. A quick search says there are over 45,000 denominations in the world, with over 200 in the U.S. That's wild.
Learning what I'm learning now, very thankful as well!
I just heard sounds and at first I thought maybe it was church bells since it's Sunday. The sound started to get closer and I realized it is an ice cream truck. Am I the only one that's surprised that ice cream trucks still exist? lol.
Pardon my occasional off topic sporadic entries! I can't help myself!
😂 You're fine! Be yourself😀
EDM ...electronic dance music?
Yes😀
I'm glad you did to!
It's funny you ask that question, because last night I was wondering the same thing and calculated the amount of time. Interestingly, even though I've read the Bible through several times, I don't recall having bothered before to figure out how long it takes to read a certain amount of chapters a day. I guess I just decided to take a lifelong commitment to daily reading, so for me it'll be until death. But, to answer your question...
Nice work on the lifelong commitment! I initially want to do 10 chapters a day to finish in about 4 months, but it seems it was too much for most. Since it's really only 3 of us, it you want to increase it to 10 or more let me know!!
LoL! Bless your heart. A similar thing happened to me back in 2014. Someone in SoCal tried to interest me in their cult. Their cult is all in Spanish, so I had to take some time to figure out what I'd be getting myself into. What I found out was, I wasn't going to get myself into anything lol. They reject the Trinity, claim Paul is the devil, and their "prophet" has falsely predicted the end of the world at least once. At least they didn't have a "god the mother" though
Yikes!😱 Glad you got out alive and well!
Oh, speaking of World Mission Society Church, last night I was curious about their locations. I really didn't think they'd have any churches in Oklahoma. I'd heard of them before, but never heard of any in Oklahoma. Well, come to find out, they have 4 churches in my state! One is only about an hour from me.
If anyone randomly invites you to Bible Study in public run!😂
I realize this isn't an ice cream study social (although, I kinda wish it was)
What is this?
Genesis 7 - I believe Noah's Flood greatly changed the topography of Earth, resulting in mountains, canyons, etc.
I'd suspect this too. I forgot to mention on @GHW 's thread that I agreed with them on these verses. I actually looked up cubit to feet and height of Mount Everest. Wanted an idea on the size of the ark and how high the flood water were.
I wonder how modern-day man determined what was a cubit converted to foot. When you look up cubit to feet, it is an estimation, therefore, there is a chance that their estimation could be extremely off
Genesis 8 - What I find touching and inspiring about this chapter is the Noah sent out the birds and when the dove came back with an olive branch he knew the water was abated. And then he uncovered the Ark and seen the dry land. But, he did not leave the Ark. He stayed until God told him to he could leave the Ark. It's important that we wait on the Lord's guidance.
Yes, I could take notes from Noah on his obedience
Another thing I like about this chapter is that God promises that as long as the Earth exists there will always be day and night, seasons will always change, and crops will always grow food.
Thankful for this promise from God as well
Genesis 9 - The part of this chapter involving the scene between Noah and Ham has been debated for ages. I've looked into some viewpoints on this occurrence, but I don't solidly espouse to any one of the viewpoints, except that it was a shameful act that led to Ham's son being cursed.
Not sure what has been debated. From what I read, Ham called his brothers to look at his father's nakedness. That is definitely the opposite of honoring his father. The act of his brothers when they came honored Noah. He should have covered his father's nakedness like his brothers did. Ham should have not called his brothers to look upon his nakedness.
Genesis 10 - I don't have much to say about this chapter, except I think Nimrod is an interesting character.
I don't know about Nimrod, looking forward to learning about him😀
Learning what I'm learning now, very thankful as well!

And then he uncovered the Ark and seen the dry land. But, he did not leave the Ark. He stayed until God told him to he could leave the Ark. It's important that we wait on the Lord's guidance.
Yes, I could take notes from Noah on his obedience
Another thing I like about this chapter is that God promises that as long as the Earth exists there will always be day and night, seasons will always change, and crops will always grow food.
Thankful for this promise from God as well
Genesis 9 - The part of this chapter involving the scene between Noah and Ham has been debated for ages. I've looked into some viewpoints on this occurrence, but I don't solidly espouse to any one of the viewpoints, except that it was a shameful act that led to Ham's son being cursed.
Not sure what has been debated. From what I read, Ham called his brothers to look at his father's nakedness. That is definitely the opposite of honoring his father. The act of his brothers when they came honored Noah. He should have covered his father's nakedness like his brothers did. Ham should have not called his brothers to look upon his nakedness.
Genesis 10 - I don't have much to say about this chapter, except I think Nimrod is an interesting character.
I don't know about Nimrod, looking forward to learning about him😀

Was curious about the flood too. I actually looked up cubit to feet and the height of Mount Everest. Wanted an idea on the size of the ark and how high the flood waters were.
I wonder how modern-day man determined what was the conversion of a cubit to a foot. When you look up cubit to feet, it is an estimation, therefore, there is a chance that their estimation could be extremely off. Would need to know the exact measurements in that time to draw a realistic picture.

I'm glad I'm not alone!
I have very limited experience with EDM. May I ask what is an EDM song you'd recommend for someone who is practically a first time listener?
An ice cream social is where you eat ice cream and socialize. I know of some churches that do this after the sermon. I called it ice cream study social since we are studying the Bible.
There are some other viewpoints. TMI, but some believe there was a homosexual action/component that took place due to the wording chosen. I'm not saying I espouse to that viewpoint, I'm just saying that it is one of the viewpoints out there that exists for explaining that particular part of Noah's story.
I look forward to doing a refresher on Nimrod. I'll try to bring my notes here after I do (virtually speaking).
Thank you! We could try doing 10 chapters a day and see how it works out.
I'll calculate the time it will take...
Reading 10 chapters a day will take approximately 118 days after today.
118 days from now is March 8.

I realize this isn't an ice cream study social (although, I kinda wish it was )
What is this?
