1:5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
==> What’s the meaning of light? Is it just light or good? (Maybe you said it means good)
==> How could there evening and morning(day)? You said it’s a god day (6,000 days of people’s world). But I cannot connected the god day with this first day.
1:26 Then God said, ‘Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness;
==> what are “our image” and “our likeness”?
1:27 So God created humankind in his image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
==> What are ‘his image’, ‘them’? Did God create the people not only a male? Before you said that God made a human. But in this, God created many humans.
2:17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die.
==> Die means you will be die soon or will be die. The first means he will be die naturally and the second means that he would not be die but he will be die.
2:23 This at last is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
this one shall be called Woman
==> Why use “flesh”? God created woman at this time, then from now on Adam(human) is called as male? This means there was no baby before? Then how about “his father and his mother” from 2:24?
2:24 Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his wife, and they become one flesh.
==> Was there already human mother and human father?
