Apologetics 15 – refocusing….
(to revisit Genesis:)
The following Quote….https://www.google.com/amp/s/enduringword.com/bible-commentary/genesis-1/amp/
i. Genesis gives the foundation for the doctrines of:
· Sin, the fall, redemption, justification.
· The promise of the Messiah and Jesus Christ.
· The personality and personhood of God.
· The kingdom of God.
ii. Genesis shows us the origin of:
· The universe.
· Order and complexity.
· The solar system.
· The atmosphere and hydrosphere.
· Life, man, marriage.
· Good and evil.
· Language, government, culture, nations, religion.
iii. It is precisely because people have abandoned the truth of Genesis that society is in such disarray.
