nice work guys. we're goin' good! genesis for me was interesting in the fact that these people had no bible as such, to live their lives by. any encounters with God were 'real' or 'real' stories passed down to them from there father, and his fathers father. in the first book we see the sadness the Lord feels by sin infecting the world. peoples lifespans have dwindled from centuries to a century, and a whole town gets slaughtered by two blokes who had a serious case of "don't touch my sister" syndrome.
Very interesting.
i was astonished @ how much the guys do seem to sleep around. i have cemented the fact though, that these people all had their own personal journeys with the Lord, just like I. So the Bible being brutally honest, shows there best and bad times of life. which is great to realise these people were human just like me, not super bible people.
so like bec said, Exodus here we come.
over and out rubber duckie.

Hey all, yes i agree we have done well. It's crazy how much we have already learnt and we've only read Genesis! and yes quite disconcerting how immoral so many of the people were. I find it really sad how people have reverted back to that sort of behaviour, like you guys said, it is rather like reading a script for days of our lives, it would make any modern day soapie writer green with envy :)
ReplyDeleteI must have been really excited about finishing Genesis because i couldn't sleep last night so at 12:05 i read the last of it and started on Exodus!...or it could have been that assignment i had to hand in...
Anyways i'm really enjoying this challenge, despite the length of some of these chapters, gee whiz! But the lessons to be learnt make it all so worth while :D
Well i hope everyone is doing splendidly and i'm looking forward to seeing you all this weekend!
