Hey, you spoke many things but you don't much about me I don't have claim that I know everything we all need to learn whole life but as you said that living in house I go out and know different religious peoples to and which point I shared few days ago you can't deny it's reality basis truth its not important all people must be agree but if we look words God than we know what God teach us and why he did make covenant covenanted through owns prophets and stickly command gave them where you will and what you'll get blessings and if you go opposite than which you lose and cruse will be
Have you ever considered doing a chapter by chapter, verse by verse study of the Bible for/with us.?? ( I'm fairly new here and didn't see it listed that you have done this)?
I was raised Christian and in middle school became rebellious and “atheist” now I’m 22 and searching for God again. I had such a strong relationship with Him when I was a child and I wish I could go back to that. Ive forgotten so much and strayed so far, I’ve struggled so much in the past few years and looking back I truly believe that I just needed God in my life at those moments. I can’t change the past, but I can make choices to effect the future and building a relationship with God again is the start to the life I want to live. It’s hard working through the doubts that pop in my mind from being a non believer for so long, but In my heart I know the truth. Anyways thank you for breaking down this chapter and making it easier to understand
I Believe in You and I Know God Believes in you! being a believer is hard but God has never left you! He was and is always walking with You! You know the truth and He Adores You!! Dont let the devil take control of you with doubts. I understand how it gets hard, trust me I’ve been through hard times too but God Truly Loves You!!!! You have a Purpose, You are Loved and You are a Miracle!❤️ God Bless You!
God bless you, sister. We're all here with you in spirit and love. Remember, God made us in his image, so you're never truly alone. Also, the lesson from the parable of the prodigal: repentance, forgiveness, and redemption. You can always repent and God will not only forgive you of your transgressions/sins and give you a chance for redemption. Love you sis in Christ. Be encouraged.
I am a wife and a mom. I am searching for a way to use the calling He has brought to so that I can support my family. Thank you so much for your knowledge. Be Blessed!
You may not see this but, as the daughter of a pastor my christian walk has fluctuated with the highest of highs and lowest of lows. I have a leather journal where i used to just brain dump and now am creating a prayer journal (thank you to you for the inspiration). As taking notes watching your videos i decided to flip back through old pages and saw where i was very low and said i had no time for furthering my walk with god but even when i had time felt id be unmotivated. Well i recently quit my job with just a strong urge and no reasoning behind it. since then ive been nothing but motivated and just today had a weird and unexplainable urge to search bible journaling and came across your page. God answered an unspoken prayer to an unworthy person (me). Im in awe on this small little pop up of god saying "hey im still working in your life." My heart is flooded with passion and gratefulness towards God but also to your video. Thankyou so much! Youre making a difference in young womens lives like mine.
I am crying! This touched me so much! Thank you for taking the time to say such sweet and intentional encouragement! I needed it more than you probably know! I’m so so so incredibly grateful that the Lord uses these silly videos of mine, it’s comments like these that keep me going! Thank you. 😭🥰❤️🙏🏻
I have struggled to put God first I’m praying and hoping I learn how to put him first I’m doing a plan to read the Bible in 2 years or maybe 1 I’m loving you explained this right now thank you you mean so muc
I love the light. It is always good to get to the summer solstice so that we get to have a little more light in each day. The shorter winter days remind us how much we all need light.
I love hearing your thoughts on this, wow I never thought of it like that, dominion not just over the animals, but dominion over feelings of this earth, and more….. Thanks Faith!
Just found your channel and I am already hooked. Starting with the Genesis Bible Study and I love how you explain things!! Also I saw you live in SC and so do I !!! I am working at a Christian Homeschool Co-Op where we will teach students with a Christian Worldview and I am so excited. I am actually teaching science and I am pumped to teach from a different perspective than what I was taught. The first things I am having students read is the creation story and I am also having them watch a portion of Bill Nye and Ken Ham's debate. Your bible study ties perfectly into what I plan to teach students.
I love this!! I just recently finished reading the entire Bible and discovered your channel!! I love how I went deeper and realized how much God loves me! Please never stop doing this
Thank you. You have made my bible study more enjoyable. I was always told to never write in your bible. I bought crayons and color pencils. Enjoying myself.!!!!
I feel like we should trust the Bible because our vision is like looking out off paper tower rolls but for god he can see everything and he has so much knowledge compared to us
Love the visuals, and especially love your encouragement to those who feel unworthy. God has a plan and a purpose for ALL of us, but so many (myself included at times) feel excluded or lonely. I love that you are encouraging, especially to those who may be depressed or having feelings of not being enough. So glad you are sharing words to let them know that God is always with you and to never give up! Keep speaking the truth!
Thank you for this! I am in the middle of a Genesis bible study now and the creation gets confusing. I like how you said the Bible wasn't written for our 2020 worldview and to not look at it with scientific eyes. Yeah a video on the "errors" of the Bible would be nice if that's okay. I don't know if I'll be able to watch your next Friday video right away. I might watch it Saturday. But I just want to say thank you for being a blessing in my life and your other subscribers lives, and to the people close to you like your family, congregation, etc. 💖 I hope you and your family have a very nice Christmas. 🎄
This was an exceptional video. I know it is from several years ago, but it really puts me in the right frame of mind to begin my study of Genesis. Thank you, Faith.
I loved loved loved this. Especially the mandate part. I just started reading Genesi and am just wowed lby Genesis 1. And i love how you just broke down the "Be fruitful and multiply "😊. I also just started a new job in a new country and started doubting why I'm here. Im here to show reflect Christ in this new space. Thank you so very much.
This is a great thought. Stewarding our lives, even in this point in our lives, is still our calling. As I go to physical therapy, and try to find the perfect doctors for my issues and my husbands, I am stewarding what He made for His glory. We weren't created for brokenness. Whoa. What a blessing to think about that! I happen to be having a day of pain, and my husband's issues have been kinda hard. Thinking about stewarding what God created will help me through today!
thank you for this bible study. I just had a conversation with a friend telling her that I felt lost about the direction God wanted me to go. this study spoke to me. i have never broken down the beginning of Genesis like that before. thank you so much!
Reflect Him.......I love that. First we must see Him and then we can reflect Him through our loving others. To know Him and to make Him known was what we were created for by our creator.
Yes! Amen! I think I’ve shared it before but sometimes I like to think of it as we’re just bug arrows pointing up to Him! Not sure if that makes sense?! How are you doing? Praying for you and your family extra this Christmas!
Hey there, just wanted to say I am enjoying listening to your take on the fruit of the tree and the fruit of the spirit. wow ,gonna have to ponder on that one, thanks for yourvideo, subscribed!.
Hey Faith, not sure if you’ll see this being that it’s been almost a couple years since you posted this, but I wanted to say thank you for sharing that you have depression in your gene pool. I do also. Recently I’ve been struggling with self worth & not being good enough. Thank you for reminding me & putting a bit of a new spin on why God created me. Yesterday’s rollercoaster of emotional turmoil had really taken a toll on me, & my marriage, so thank you for making this video. As long as it stays up, you never know who & when it may bless someone. Thank You God for working through Faith that day for the future me’s that You know will see.
Faith..thank you for this video, Genesis 1..I just read it again with you with a bright eye awareness..I wish I could hug you right now..I am blessed by your words of making Genesis 1 easy to understand..🙏🤗♥️
I found your channel a while ago I just started in genesis i was in Matthew doing my Bible study then my dad told me to go back to genesis, because it’s like having half of the puzzle piece and not seeing the other half that’s what I was doing so then I went back to genesis and started doing Bible study with a friend that I gave a Bible to last year she has transformed so much and she’s the only one of my friends that listens to me which is crucial in a Friendship
HOLLLYYYYYY COW! 😇🐄 That was good stuff! It really got me thinking about things I never really thought of. I had always more or less thought of Genesis 1 as being more of an explanation of the beginning but it's really so much more. Thank you for sharing!
So Awesome! I'm 5 minutes in and I love how you began this study mentioning the 2 questions, 1) Who are we? And. Why do we exist? I didn't know that the people then thought the way you described. Also, I would've added the fact the God in Hebrew is Elohim. Elohim is a plural noun for "gods" or "deities" or various other words in Hebrew. Builds on the trinity. By the way, I just started a study on Genesis 1 this evening. I'm excited and enjoying it so much already!
I'm working on a bible study right now on the first 1-11 of genesis and breaking down each verse it has been eye opening and this video was great to add too my readings thank you 😊
Great video. God sovereignly chose to work and reveal himself through the literary genres and other characteristics of a particular Ancient Near Eastern people, so we mustn't try to impose our modern categories on it (either in defending or objecting to it). And I like how you point to the presence of God, AND his Spirit, AND his Word/words even in the first 3 verses. I think as Christians we tend to associate creation overwhelmingly with God the Father and regard the other 2 Persons as active more in salvation, but here we see them working in harmony right from the start. I also find it significant that in v.27 the "image of God" entails both "male _and_ female," suggesting that we image God precisely in our relationality, our unity-in-otherness, and that (in the Christian interpretation) this sort of communion is itself rooted in God's _own_ being.
I don't share the same perspective on the Bible but I really like your style and passion in what you believe. We are following the same Savior just coming from different perspectives. Keep up the good work, learning, teaching and witnessing.
Thank you so much, this was a great study! I'm starting my reading through the Bible beginning to end and want to take time to study the chapters as I go through, so I'm grateful for these perspectives to get me started in Genesis :) God bless you.
Beautiful! thank you for this, wanted to just say that when i was studying the Lord showed me the hebrew word they used in genesis for God, Elohim, now Elohim is a plural word! which made me think trinityyy!!
This is the first video of yours I've watched:), well done, I would just like to add. That maybe the bible iS scientific like literally. If an artist could create a masterful painting in a day then is doesnt suprise me that God may have the ability to paint with dna or something. I like the way you put it, "our science lenses" because we are taught by the finality of our senses working backwards with science. I truly believe that there are some answers here that will prove to be scientific we just dont have all the info. The all powerful should be just that. The very nature of Him should be able to manifest from the dust he created. I just love the book of Genesis and I loved this thank you
I just read an incredible commentary on why Elohim in the plural is used for God in Genesis. It was in Ellicott on BibleHub and he said that the E perspective uses the plural in direct contrast to the polytheism that surrounded that scribe. All these other cultures had the sun god, the fertility goddess, the god of rain, whatever. But E used “Elohim” in the plural to show that the Hebrew God was one being who did all the things and no others were required. First of all, mind blowing and beautiful thought in itself. But then, I was shocked to learn that Ellicott was writing in the 18th century?!? I truly never would have guessed.
So that word for ‘light’ in the first couple verses also has a sense of ‘enlightenment’ the land was an empty place and he spoke himself to it and then it was ready to bring forth life ❤
I love Genesis, there is so much treasure to be found in it if we dig deep. Always something new to learn, no matter how many times we read it. For instance, I've been a Christian for 47 years and I have never seen the connection between the fruit of the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil and the fruit believers produce through the Holy Spirit! That's beautiful! Also, when it comes to science a lot of people take everything scientists come up with as absolute fact and 'truth', but they forget that scientists have had to backtrack on many so-called facts over the centuries, one of the major ones being their belief that the earth was flat! So they get it wrong sometimes! The theory of evolution is just that - a THEORY. I don't have enough faith to believe in evolution. A Creator God makes far more sense!
@@HowtoFaithALife Thanks Faith. Merry Christmas to you and your family too! I have a question too, which I forgot to ask...would you consider doing a video about the 'Gap Theory' some people hold to about Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2? I only recently discovered this belief and how it relates to the 'true' (according to those who believe this theory) age of the earth etc. Have you heard of this at all? Do you think it is ok to believe it? I'd really be interested to know what you think about it.
That’s a really good question! I am someone that really tries to hold an open mind with everything in Genesis because I know God is way bigger than humankind’s ability to put Him to words. The book I mentioned does address the “gap theory” briefly but basically, a summary is that the “gap theory” is one of the many theories that try to work through scientific findings about the universe and relate them with the biblical record without either losing it's legitimacy. But the book I talked about argues that Genesis 1 was never intended to be an account of exactly (scientifically) how the universe came to be, but rather a theological account of our relationship with God and the rest of His creation. It shouldn't be pitted against science, nor should we try to make it fit into our scientific worldview, it has completely different intentions than a Science textbook. The original authors and readers really didn't care about where the universe came from, they cared about their relationship with God and the rest of creation and how they fit into it!
@@HowtoFaithALife Thanks. That's a great way of seeing it. Maybe all we really need to be sure of goes back to the first line of Genesis...'In the beginning, GOD.' ? We don't really need to know or understand all the ins and outs and all the finer details really, do we? We could probably just get bogged down in all that and neglect the more important things like growing closer to Jesus. After all, it's really just a theory...and we have FACT...'In the beginning, GOD....'!!!
Yes! Exactly! I totally agree. It’s like disagreements on end times and Revelation- we just end up arguing and dividing over it when that’s not even the purpose of the scriptures, to argue over their meaning and try to figure out the minute details that are above our comprehension anyways! Some people don’t like surrendering all that over to God, though. 🤷🏼♀️ it’s hard, there’s no perfect answers other than, we know what we need to know, everything else isn’t worth fighting over!
This was good, yet we aren’t entirely called to live life to the fullest. We are called to spread the gospel. Not saying we can’t enjoy his creation. But our main purpose is to imitate his love within us to others and be the light in this dark world.
Newbie here but just wanted to ask you as I just came across your short about LORD Lord. So I checked out light and did a mini word study and was wondering your thoughts on the word light possibly meaning happiness or luminary noun 1. a person who inspires or influences others, especially one prominent in a particular sphere.
Hang on...are you trying yo tell me I'm not made to be a COUCH POTATO!? DANG...I do it so well 😜 Loved this study and in your indepth explanation. Much love xx
Sadly, a lot of Christians debate the idea that Genesis was literal days. To me, the reason is that in Genesis it's not clear but here's some evidence as to why they are literal and why it's important. First, there are morning and evening mentioned each day. Second, Exodus 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. The context here is that 6 days of the week 24 hour days and rest on the Sabbath and then the comparison is directly made to God creating in 6 days and resting on 1. When I wonder about parts like this I like to know what other believers thought in the past. Here are some early Church fathers' writings that give us a clue as to what they believed Barnabas, AD First Century “Therefore, children, in six days, or in six thousand years, all the prophecies will be fulfilled. Then it says, ‘He rested on the seventh day.’ This signifies at the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus, He will destroy the Antichrist, judge the ungodly, and change the sun, moon, and stars. Then He will truly rest during the Millennial reign, which is the seventh day.” Epistle of Barnabas 15:7-9 Commodianus, AD 240 “We will be immortal when the six thousand years are completed.” Against the Gods of the Heathens 35 “Resurrection of the body will be when six thousand years are completed, and after the one thousand years, the world will come to an end.” Against the Gods of the Heathens 80 Victorinus, AD 240 “Satan will be bound until the thousand years are finished; that is, after the sixth day.” Commentary on Revelation 20.1-3 Methodius, AD 290 “In the seventh millennium we will be immortal and truly celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.” Ten Virgins 9.1 These references speak directly to 2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. This doesn't mean it's correct but it does show that there is an understanding of time. One of the things that our daily walk is built on is the idea that we add brick by brink to it. The 2 most hammered books in Scripture even by Christians is Genesis and Revelation and so many times I hear everything is debated. No that just means there's a lack of understanding. False teachings are so easily adopted when we give credence to the idea everything is accepted. Do we have to argue and tear each other down? No not at all but to me there is a reason that is presented here why 6 days and how specific it is in Scripture. The claim is here that after 6 days or 6,000 years the 2nd Coming will occur. We see that when we read Genesis 7-8 that the years were 360-day years not 365.25 as they are today. When we take the genealogy charts from Adam to Abraham it's 1,946 years. i0.wp.com/viz.bible/cms/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Genesis-Timeline-from-Adam-to-Abraham.png?fit=1024%2C741&ssl=1 We see that from Abraham's birth to Jesus is 1996 years. Jesus to today 2023 1946+1996+2023 =5965 0-1000 Day 1, 1000-2000 Day 2, 2000-3000 Day 3, 3000-4000 Day 4, 4000-5000 Day 5, 5000-6000 Day 6, currently 5,965 (give or take). We see 3 eras in Scripture Creation to the covenant with Abraham 2000 years, Abraham to Jesus 2000 years and from Jesus death the (new covenant, not a replacement) We know from Daniel 9 (See my study here) ruclips.net/video/xqQ5jdl84sM/видео.html That Jesus's death was Passover 32 AD. So if we add 2000 years that would be 2032. Does that mean the 2nd Coming is then? No, but the patterns in Scripture are such that there are many ways that point us to our time. Most of Eschatology today is awful and a lot of it has to do with our understanding of Genesis and Revelation. The best book I've read this year outside of the Bible is Ken Johnson's -The End Times by the Ancient Church Fathers. Hope this helps.
Like all kingdoms, God wants to expand his kingdom so he created us for that purpose. We have only one purpose in life ~ to bring God’s kingdom to the whole of the earth and that’s it, he doesn’t care about us beyond that but if humans want to believe they’re separate from God with an individual life, then their beliefs will create its own fruit in terms of sickness, stress, poverty etc etc etc
Notice there was light before the sun moon and stars were created. God is there, Holy Spirit is there, Jesus is there. He is the Light of the World. The Word was with God and the Word was God
I'm coming in way late on this comment, but that hit me in the eyes. The light was there before everything else because God is the light of the world !! 💡💡💡
Not sure if you’ll see this or not since it has been years since you’ve posted this but when you were talking about something not being scientifically proven I ask, why does it have to be? God could always perform miracles which is anything that is unnatural happening (even against science) that only the Lord can do. If Gods word says it happens then I can’t use science to disprove it because my God is a miracle worker! Thanks for sharing this and so happy to see that people are still getting things from it months ago and even to now. Have a very blessed thanksgiving and Christmas!
I think when it mentions days I think we have to remember that what are days to us are like 1,000 years to God. I feel like both science and what’s written in the Bible is true, of course while still remembering that science is still being explored. God made science in all of this without going into extreme detail, it’s basically just the gist of it here. It also mentions in the beginning verses how God waited to spring up the fruit’s because he needed someone to toil them, which means the seeds came first and time had to have past for there to be a harvest season which I think only proves that the days are actually YEARS to us humans and on Earth, but not to God. Idk if that made sense but that’s what I feel makes sense. I also have so many questions..
So...I say this with love and pray you all come to understand this someday. Science is based on MAN'S WORD and after some length of time, changes what is true and what is false (let's look at the discovery of penicillin (sp?), before it was discovered, all forms of mold were bad). GOD'S WORD was, is, and will always be true. We just have to come to terms with that thought process. ❤
I suffer with bipolar disorder and I feel so lonely right now and depressed and I feel unworthy of god's love and forgiveness I feel like my prayers are unheard and I feel a huge weight on my shoulders it's like I'm drowning I want to feel close to god but how do I do this when i feel so lost
Loving your videos, thank you. You mentioned God and His Spirit but I did not hear mention of Jesus. We understand from John 1 1 that He was with God before the world was made too. He is the Word. I recently was very taken with this from Jordan Peterson: "God used the Word to extract habitable order out of chaos at the beginning of time: embodies the primacy of consciousness as underlying the structure of reality. Little else works in the absence of consciousness - time (duration), being. Words manufacture our lived reality - turn chaos into order. Life is dependent on the conscious experience of the world. At least one famous physicist believes that consciousness plays a constitutive role in transforming the chaotic potential of being into the actuality of being. At a neuro-biological level we do not understand consciousness at all. People use their consciousness to grapple a sense of form out of potential chaos: “You should live up to your potential” implies the possibility of accruing more than what is - what COULD BE - if they participated in the process properly. We all know what this means. The idea of one’s potential is very exciting because is stimulates the hypothalamus - dopamine etc. Trinitarian notion: 1 Potential. Often given a feminine nature as the ground from which all things rise 2 Structure: interpretive structure has to grapple with the formless potential - Akin to God the Father - There is something in all of us that is transcendent, is a deeply structural part of an ancient process that enables us to struggle and bring forth reality 3 Consciousness itself - active structure that has the capacity for action in the world, the Tool of the structure - the Son, Jesus. - The speaking of the Son - turns chaos into order. Speech and discussion manufacture our lived reality. Unusual concept that humans are made in the image of God by playing an analogous role in the creation of structure out of chaos : having a Divine spark in each of us - all are equal before God. So the whole Trinity was there as I understand it:)
Hey i want to add something. In verse 14 it shows that God created the suns and stars so that they can show days years and centuries. This shows that God actually created eternity which our mind couldnt understand cuz we are created in a time limit. I hope this will answer the question that where did God come from. If i just tell you that he just exist you wouldnt understand bit if i say that your mind is in time limit to understand that God is eternal may be that will make sense. After all great video really and thank you for the book recomendation.God bless you and keep up tge good work❤
If anyone's looking for a full indepth Bible Study on Genesis 1, and EVERY Book of the Bible, check out Kanole Gibsen (I think that's her first name). I just found her last night. She's doing 365 days of the Bible; and her knowledge of the Bible is PHENONOMEL! One of things I love and I found interesting was how the black people came into being thorough Ham (but there is SO much more)!!
John 1:1 could explain the manifesting of God before the existence of the earth. The rebellion of man eating from the tree aka fall of man is where the bad starts to pour into the world. God created perfection/good and going against that is what creates bad/evil
The book of Genesis is also believed to be mostly written by Moses, back then they had next to no knowledge of science, how could we expect Moses to understand exactly what god means when he explained the creation of the universe to Moses, or whoever else received his word? Just my two sense since you mentioned not looking at the creation through a modern scientific eye
Thanks for joining me for this bible study! If you want to read the Bible through in a year while also having 95 days of "grace" (to take off) consider joining my 270-day "Grace Bible Reading Plan" here: howtofaithalife.samcart.com/products/grace-bible-reading-plan

Dear sister what do you think in verse 2 when it says darkness was on the surface of the deep
Faith, can you check your email. I emailed you regarding not being able to download the reading plan after purchasing. Thank you!
Have you ever considered doing a chapter by chapter, verse by verse study of the Bible for/with us.??
( I'm fairly new here and didn't see it listed that you have done this)?
I was raised Christian and in middle school became rebellious and “atheist” now I’m 22 and searching for God again. I had such a strong relationship with Him when I was a child and I wish I could go back to that. Ive forgotten so much and strayed so far, I’ve struggled so much in the past few years and looking back I truly believe that I just needed God in my life at those moments. I can’t change the past, but I can make choices to effect the future and building a relationship with God again is the start to the life I want to live. It’s hard working through the doubts that pop in my mind from being a non believer for so long, but In my heart I know the truth. Anyways thank you for breaking down this chapter and making it easier to understand
i understand & see you! we are on this journey together 💜 god bless you
I Believe in You and I Know God Believes in you! being a believer is hard but God has never left you! He was and is always walking with You! You know the truth and He Adores You!! Dont let the devil take control of you with doubts. I understand how it gets hard, trust me I’ve been through hard times too but God Truly Loves You!!!! You have a Purpose, You are Loved and You are a Miracle!❤️ God Bless You!
72 yo doing the same.
God bless you, sister. We're all here with you in spirit and love. Remember, God made us in his image, so you're never truly alone. Also, the lesson from the parable of the prodigal: repentance, forgiveness, and redemption. You can always repent and God will not only forgive you of your transgressions/sins and give you a chance for redemption. Love you sis in Christ. Be encouraged.
I am a wife and a mom. I am searching for a way to use the calling He has brought to so that I can support my family. Thank you so much for your knowledge. Be Blessed!

Please never stop. You’re really helping me💕
@@pytlayna7838 I’m so glad to hear it!
Please do the whole Bible! It will take a long time but it’s important for everyone to hear 🙏🏻
I have struggled to put God first I’m praying and hoping I learn how to put him first I’m doing a plan to read the Bible in 2 years or maybe 1 I’m loving you explained this right now thank you you mean so muc
I just started reading the Bible and I love Gen 1. Each verse is immense
Hi, I'm Jewish, but I love different perspectives, especially on anything "old testament" for my own studies. Thank you for sharing ❤
Jesus loves you ❤❤❤❤
I love the light. It is always good to get to the summer solstice so that we get to have a little more light in each day. The shorter winter days remind us how much we all need light.
So true! I always have a hard time in the winter because less sunlight- it makes a big impact on my mood!
Overwhelming sensation to cry …. Good tears … so grateful for God’s word and to use you the way He does 🙏 thank you!
Praise the Lord!
An excellent reading about how creation versus evolution and the Big Bang is the book Axis of Beginning.
I love hearing your thoughts on this, wow I never thought of it like that, dominion not just over the animals, but dominion over feelings of this earth, and more….. Thanks Faith!
Just found your channel and I am already hooked. Starting with the Genesis Bible Study and I love how you explain things!! Also I saw you live in SC and so do I !!! I am working at a Christian Homeschool Co-Op where we will teach students with a Christian Worldview and I am so excited. I am actually teaching science and I am pumped to teach from a different perspective than what I was taught. The first things I am having students read is the creation story and I am also having them watch a portion of Bill Nye and Ken Ham's debate. Your bible study ties perfectly into what I plan to teach students.
I love this!! I just recently finished reading the entire Bible and discovered your channel!! I love how I went deeper and realized how much God loves me! Please never stop doing this
I also decided to read the entire bible last year! Glad I'm not alone :))
Thank you. You have made my bible study more enjoyable. I was always told to never write in your bible. I bought crayons and color pencils. Enjoying myself.!!!!
Wonderful! Praise the Lord!
I feel like we should trust the Bible because our vision is like looking out off paper tower rolls but for god he can see everything and he has so much knowledge compared to us
Love the visuals, and especially love your encouragement to those who feel unworthy. God has a plan and a purpose for ALL of us, but so many (myself included at times) feel excluded or lonely. I love that you are encouraging, especially to those who may be depressed or having feelings of not being enough. So glad you are sharing words to let them know that God is always with you and to never give up! Keep speaking the truth!
Thank you! :)

Thank you for this! I am in the middle of a Genesis bible study now and the creation gets confusing. I like how you said the Bible wasn't written for our 2020 worldview and to not look at it with scientific eyes. Yeah a video on the "errors" of the Bible would be nice if that's okay. I don't know if I'll be able to watch your next Friday video right away. I might watch it Saturday. But I just want to say thank you for being a blessing in my life and your other subscribers lives, and to the people close to you like your family, congregation, etc. 💖 I hope you and your family have a very nice Christmas. 🎄
Merry Christmas to you, too! I am so incredibly thankful for you!
Merry Christmas!!
This was an exceptional video. I know it is from several years ago, but it really puts me in the right frame of mind to begin my study of Genesis. Thank you, Faith.
Great video! Loved the insights on Genesis 1 it’s inspiring!
I loved loved loved this. Especially the mandate part. I just started reading Genesi and am just wowed lby Genesis 1. And i love how you just broke down the "Be fruitful and multiply "😊. I also just started a new job in a new country and started doubting why I'm here. Im here to show reflect Christ in this new space. Thank you so very much.
This is a great thought. Stewarding our lives, even in this point in our lives, is still our calling. As I go to physical therapy, and try to find the perfect doctors for my issues and my husbands, I am stewarding what He made for His glory. We weren't created for brokenness. Whoa. What a blessing to think about that! I happen to be having a day of pain, and my husband's issues have been kinda hard. Thinking about stewarding what God created will help me through today!
Amen! Thank you for adding that!
You have a wonderful attitude!!!, and this is part of shining your light into the world that others may see the presence of Christ through you.
Thank you!
One of the best videos I’ve ever seen! Thanks for the reminder of who I am and who Jesus is! ☺️
😭🙌🏻❤️ wow! What a sweet compliment! I’m so glad it blessed you!
So encouraging!!
thank you for this bible study. I just had a conversation with a friend telling her that I felt lost about the direction God wanted me to go. this study spoke to me. i have never broken down the beginning of Genesis like that before. thank you so much!
Praise the Lord!
Reflect Him.......I love that. First we must see Him and then we can reflect Him through our loving others. To know Him and to make Him known was what we were created for by our creator.
Yes! Amen! I think I’ve shared it before but sometimes I like to think of it as we’re just bug arrows pointing up to Him! Not sure if that makes sense?!
How are you doing? Praying for you and your family extra this Christmas!
Hey there, just wanted to say I am enjoying listening to your take on the fruit of the tree and the fruit of the spirit. wow ,gonna have to ponder on that one, thanks for yourvideo, subscribed!.
So much important doctrine in Genesis 1. Thanks for tackling this one Faith!!
Yeah! :)
Hey Faith, not sure if you’ll see this being that it’s been almost a couple years since you posted this, but I wanted to say thank you for sharing that you have depression in your gene pool. I do also. Recently I’ve been struggling with self worth & not being good enough. Thank you for reminding me & putting a bit of a new spin on why God created me. Yesterday’s rollercoaster of emotional turmoil had really taken a toll on me, & my marriage, so thank you for making this video. As long as it stays up, you never know who & when it may bless someone. Thank You God for working through Faith that day for the future me’s that You know will see.
Praise the Lord! and thanks for sharing!
Faith..thank you for this video, Genesis 1..I just read it again with you with a bright eye awareness..I wish I could hug you right now..I am blessed by your words of making Genesis 1 easy to understand..🙏🤗♥️
This was the most beautiful RUclips video I've ever seen
Gorgeous mind, gorgeous curls, gorgeous beliefs. Just a beautiful person inside & out! 💚 Thank you!
You are so welcome! Praise God!
The last part brought me to tears.😢
I found your channel a while ago I just started in genesis i was in Matthew doing my Bible study then my dad told me to go back to genesis, because it’s like having half of the puzzle piece and not seeing the other half that’s what I was doing so then I went back to genesis and started doing Bible study with a friend that I gave a Bible to last year she has transformed so much and she’s the only one of my friends that listens to me which is crucial in a Friendship
I love doing bible studies with you!
thank youuuu so very much, you helped me start my bible study journey
Yay! Praise the Lord! I’m so happy to hear that!
I'm so grateful to have been led to your channel. Thank you.
HOLLLYYYYYY COW! 😇🐄 That was good stuff! It really got me thinking about things I never really thought of. I had always more or less thought of Genesis 1 as being more of an explanation of the beginning but it's really so much more. Thank you for sharing!
I am so glad! Praise the Lord! That is very encouraging to hear!
So Awesome! I'm 5 minutes in and I love how you began this study mentioning the 2 questions, 1) Who are we? And. Why do we exist? I didn't know that the people then thought the way you described.
Also, I would've added the fact the God in Hebrew is Elohim. Elohim is a plural noun for "gods" or "deities" or various other words in Hebrew. Builds on the trinity. By the way, I just started a study on Genesis 1 this evening. I'm excited and enjoying it so much already!
I'm working on a bible study right now on the first 1-11 of genesis and breaking down each verse it has been eye opening and this video was great to add too my readings thank you 😊
Wonderful!
Praise God! I was reminded that God is eternal not immortal, He was never created. He always existed. 🤍
Right! I forget too!
Thank you for your word breakdown it was beautiful ❤ blessings to you
Gave this one a revisit, it is stunning how much I had forgotten since the first watch. Thank you for these videos.
Great video. God sovereignly chose to work and reveal himself through the literary genres and other characteristics of a particular Ancient Near Eastern people, so we mustn't try to impose our modern categories on it (either in defending or objecting to it). And I like how you point to the presence of God, AND his Spirit, AND his Word/words even in the first 3 verses. I think as Christians we tend to associate creation overwhelmingly with God the Father and regard the other 2 Persons as active more in salvation, but here we see them working in harmony right from the start. I also find it significant that in v.27 the "image of God" entails both "male _and_ female," suggesting that we image God precisely in our relationality, our unity-in-otherness, and that (in the Christian interpretation) this sort of communion is itself rooted in God's _own_ being.
I agree! Yes yes yes! THANK YOU for adding that to this bible study!
Yessir!! 🙌
A true blessing. Thank you for the study.
I don't share the same perspective on the Bible but I really like your style and passion in what you believe. We are following the same Savior just coming from different perspectives. Keep up the good work, learning, teaching and witnessing.
Thank you for being you, praise the Lord ❤️🙏
Thank you so much, this was a great study! I'm starting my reading through the Bible beginning to end and want to take time to study the chapters as I go through, so I'm grateful for these perspectives to get me started in Genesis :) God bless you.
Literally the last part was fabulous! 👏🏿❤
Thank you for the Bible study ! ❤
Beautiful! thank you for this, wanted to just say that when i was studying the Lord showed me the hebrew word they used in genesis for God, Elohim, now Elohim is a plural word! which made me think trinityyy!!
Thanks for sharing!!
I'd like more studying the words of genesis. Great job!
Love that suggestion!
Really love adding your Bible studies to my own.
I'm so glad! Praise the Lord!
This is the first video of yours I've watched:), well done, I would just like to add. That maybe the bible iS scientific like literally. If an artist could create a masterful painting in a day then is doesnt suprise me that God may have the ability to paint with dna or something. I like the way you put it, "our science lenses" because we are taught by the finality of our senses working backwards with science. I truly believe that there are some answers here that will prove to be scientific we just dont have all the info. The all powerful should be just that. The very nature of Him should be able to manifest from the dust he created. I just love the book of Genesis and I loved this thank you
Amen! So good!
I just read an incredible commentary on why Elohim in the plural is used for God in Genesis. It was in Ellicott on BibleHub and he said that the E perspective uses the plural in direct contrast to the polytheism that surrounded that scribe. All these other cultures had the sun god, the fertility goddess, the god of rain, whatever. But E used “Elohim” in the plural to show that the Hebrew God was one being who did all the things and no others were required. First of all, mind blowing and beautiful thought in itself. But then, I was shocked to learn that Ellicott was writing in the 18th century?!? I truly never would have guessed.
Faith,
Currently doing your Bible reading plan and this perfectly came up. So much meat in this one video, so many notes to add too my Bible .
🙏🙏🙏
So that word for ‘light’ in the first couple verses also has a sense of ‘enlightenment’ the land was an empty place and he spoke himself to it and then it was ready to bring forth life ❤
Thank you for this! I’m sure you know the trickle down effect of these little messages, but I hope you KNOW how valued these messages are. ❤️
Thank you for this wonderful study. God used you to speak to me. Thank you! I really love listening to you. Great and informative videos.
Keep preaching. Amen. Great video style also. May the Lord continue to bless you and guide you in Jesus' precious name
Thank you! You too! :)
@@HowtoFaithALife
Maybe we'll collab one day. You and my wife would get along lol
I love Genesis, there is so much treasure to be found in it if we dig deep. Always something new to learn, no matter how many times we read it. For instance, I've been a Christian for 47 years and I have never seen the connection between the fruit of the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil and the fruit believers produce through the Holy Spirit! That's beautiful! Also, when it comes to science a lot of people take everything scientists come up with as absolute fact and 'truth', but they forget that scientists have had to backtrack on many so-called facts over the centuries, one of the major ones being their belief that the earth was flat! So they get it wrong sometimes! The theory of evolution is just that - a THEORY. I don't have enough faith to believe in evolution. A Creator God makes far more sense!
That’s so true, That’s a really good point! Thank you for sharing that! And merry Christmas! I hope you had a healthy and blessed Christmas yesterday!
@@HowtoFaithALife Thanks Faith. Merry Christmas to you and your family too! I have a question too, which I forgot to ask...would you consider doing a video about the 'Gap Theory' some people hold to about Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2? I only recently discovered this belief and how it relates to the 'true' (according to those who believe this theory) age of the earth etc. Have you heard of this at all? Do you think it is ok to believe it? I'd really be interested to know what you think about it.
That’s a really good question! I am someone that really tries to hold an open mind with everything in Genesis because I know God is way bigger than humankind’s ability to put Him to words. The book I mentioned does address the “gap theory” briefly but basically, a summary is that the “gap theory” is one of the many theories that try to work through scientific findings about the universe and relate them with the biblical record without either losing it's legitimacy. But the book I talked about argues that Genesis 1 was never intended to be an account of exactly (scientifically) how the universe came to be, but rather a theological account of our relationship with God and the rest of His creation. It shouldn't be pitted against science, nor should we try to make it fit into our scientific worldview, it has completely different intentions than a Science textbook. The original authors and readers really didn't care about where the universe came from, they cared about their relationship with God and the rest of creation and how they fit into it!
@@HowtoFaithALife Thanks. That's a great way of seeing it. Maybe all we really need to be sure of goes back to the first line of Genesis...'In the beginning, GOD.' ? We don't really need to know or understand all the ins and outs and all the finer details really, do we? We could probably just get bogged down in all that and neglect the more important things like growing closer to Jesus. After all, it's really just a theory...and we have FACT...'In the beginning, GOD....'!!!
Yes! Exactly! I totally agree. It’s like disagreements on end times and Revelation- we just end up arguing and dividing over it when that’s not even the purpose of the scriptures, to argue over their meaning and try to figure out the minute details that are above our comprehension anyways! Some people don’t like surrendering all that over to God, though. 🤷🏼♀️ it’s hard, there’s no perfect answers other than, we know what we need to know, everything else isn’t worth fighting over!
This is what I've been looking for. Ty for this video! Can you do a series on every chapter ... God bless. Ty again
simply loved this! 🙌🏻 thank you
I’m so glad! Praise the Lord!!
This was good, yet we aren’t entirely called to live life to the fullest. We are called to spread the gospel. Not saying we can’t enjoy his creation. But our main purpose is to imitate his love within us to others and be the light in this dark world.
Wow, Dominion over of our lives, never read it that way.
I love your videos so much!!! I am so happy I came across this. Love your enegery, its so positive. The Lord is so good!!! :)
Thank you so much!! Yes He is!
Thank you so much!I love it!
I’m glad I could be an encouragement!
Newbie here but just wanted to ask you as I just came across your short about LORD Lord. So I checked out light and did a mini word study and was wondering your thoughts on the word light possibly meaning happiness or luminary noun
1.
a person who inspires or influences others, especially one prominent in a particular sphere.
I loved the video! I'm trying to do more in-depth Bible studies! This really helped!! Thank you! Keep createing amazing videos ❤️
Wow! This was so impactful for me. Thank you so much for doing this Bible study. Looking forward to more Bible studies with you ❤️
My favorite part of light being created is that the sun didn't exist yet. He is the light.
Thanks for sharing beautiful message. Love it
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Hang on...are you trying yo tell me I'm not made to be a COUCH POTATO!? DANG...I do it so well 😜 Loved this study and in your indepth explanation. Much love xx
HAHA, you just made me laugh so hard! You always say the sweetest things! Glad I could be an encouragement! Merry Christmas!
Sadly, a lot of Christians debate the idea that Genesis was literal days. To me, the reason is that in Genesis it's not clear but here's some evidence as to why they are literal and why it's important.
First, there are morning and evening mentioned each day.
Second, Exodus 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
The context here is that 6 days of the week 24 hour days and rest on the Sabbath and then the comparison is directly made to God creating in 6 days and resting on 1.
When I wonder about parts like this I like to know what other believers thought in the past.
Here are some early Church fathers' writings that give us a clue as to what they believed
Barnabas, AD First Century
“Therefore, children, in six days, or in six thousand years, all the prophecies will be fulfilled. Then it says, ‘He rested on the seventh day.’ This signifies at the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus, He will destroy the Antichrist, judge the ungodly, and change the sun, moon, and stars. Then He will truly rest during the Millennial reign, which is the seventh day.” Epistle of Barnabas 15:7-9
Commodianus, AD 240
“We will be immortal when the six thousand years are completed.” Against the Gods of the Heathens 35 “Resurrection of the body will be when six thousand years are completed, and after the one thousand years, the world will come to an end.” Against the Gods of the Heathens 80
Victorinus, AD 240
“Satan will be bound until the thousand years are finished; that is, after the sixth day.” Commentary on Revelation 20.1-3
Methodius, AD 290
“In the seventh millennium we will be immortal and truly celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.” Ten Virgins 9.1
These references speak directly to 2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
This doesn't mean it's correct but it does show that there is an understanding of time.
One of the things that our daily walk is built on is the idea that we add brick by brink to it.
The 2 most hammered books in Scripture even by Christians is Genesis and Revelation and so many times I hear everything is debated. No that just means there's a lack of understanding. False teachings are so easily adopted when we give credence to the idea everything is accepted. Do we have to argue and tear each other down? No not at all but to me there is a reason that is presented here why 6 days and how specific it is in Scripture.
The claim is here that after 6 days or 6,000 years the 2nd Coming will occur. We see that when we read Genesis 7-8 that the years were 360-day years not 365.25 as they are today. When we take the genealogy charts from Adam to Abraham it's 1,946 years.
i0.wp.com/viz.bible/cms/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Genesis-Timeline-from-Adam-to-Abraham.png?fit=1024%2C741&ssl=1
We see that from Abraham's birth to Jesus is 1996 years.
Jesus to today 2023
1946+1996+2023 =5965
0-1000 Day 1, 1000-2000 Day 2, 2000-3000 Day 3, 3000-4000 Day 4, 4000-5000 Day 5, 5000-6000 Day 6, currently 5,965 (give or take).
We see 3 eras in Scripture Creation to the covenant with Abraham 2000 years, Abraham to Jesus 2000 years and from Jesus death the (new covenant, not a replacement) We know from Daniel 9 (See my study here)
ruclips.net/video/xqQ5jdl84sM/видео.html
That Jesus's death was Passover 32 AD. So if we add 2000 years that would be 2032. Does that mean the 2nd Coming is then? No, but the patterns in Scripture are such that there are many ways that point us to our time.
Most of Eschatology today is awful and a lot of it has to do with our understanding of Genesis and Revelation. The best book I've read this year outside of the Bible is Ken Johnson's -The End Times by the Ancient Church Fathers.
Hope this helps.
Loved this video so much ❤️❤️especially the towads the end, very powerful ending.
And I'm learning about bible
Like all kingdoms, God wants to expand his kingdom so he created us for that purpose. We have only one purpose in life ~ to bring God’s kingdom to the whole of the earth and that’s it, he doesn’t care about us beyond that but if humans want to believe they’re separate from God with an individual life, then their beliefs will create its own fruit in terms of sickness, stress, poverty etc etc etc
How about this?.....what was the light? Because it was evening and morning BEFORE the sun and moon were created. So what made it light?
Notice there was light before the sun moon and stars were created. God is there, Holy Spirit is there, Jesus is there. He is the Light of the World. The Word was with God and the Word was God
I'm coming in way late on this comment, but that hit me in the eyes. The light was there before everything else because God is the light of the world !! 💡💡💡
I love the Bible to read the
👍
This was so helpful!!! I love your style!!
Wow, thank you! :) I am so glad!
Not sure if you’ll see this or not since it has been years since you’ve posted this but when you were talking about something not being scientifically proven I ask, why does it have to be? God could always perform miracles which is anything that is unnatural happening (even against science) that only the Lord can do. If Gods word says it happens then I can’t use science to disprove it because my God is a miracle worker! Thanks for sharing this and so happy to see that people are still getting things from it months ago and even to now. Have a very blessed thanksgiving and Christmas!
Can you pleeeeease do videos on errors and variants and misunderstandings of the bible???
I think when it mentions days I think we have to remember that what are days to us are like 1,000 years to God. I feel like both science and what’s written in the Bible is true, of course while still remembering that science is still being explored. God made science in all of this without going into extreme detail, it’s basically just the gist of it here. It also mentions in the beginning verses how God waited to spring up the fruit’s because he needed someone to toil them, which means the seeds came first and time had to have past for there to be a harvest season which I think only proves that the days are actually YEARS to us humans and on Earth, but not to God. Idk if that made sense but that’s what I feel makes sense.
I also have so many questions..
Really great material. Thanks
Very welcome
Just found your channel, subscribed. Thank you.
Welcome to the family!
So...I say this with love and pray you all come to understand this someday. Science is based on MAN'S WORD and after some length of time, changes what is true and what is false (let's look at the discovery of penicillin (sp?), before it was discovered, all forms of mold were bad). GOD'S WORD was, is, and will always be true. We just have to come to terms with that thought process. ❤
I suffer with bipolar disorder and I feel so lonely right now and depressed and I feel unworthy of god's love and forgiveness I feel like my prayers are unheard and I feel a huge weight on my shoulders it's like I'm drowning I want to feel close to god but how do I do this when i feel so lost
Loving your videos, thank you. You mentioned God and His Spirit but I did not hear mention of Jesus. We understand from John 1 1 that He was with God before the world was made too. He is the Word. I recently was very taken with this from Jordan Peterson: "God used the Word to extract habitable order out of chaos at the beginning of time: embodies the primacy of consciousness as underlying the structure of reality. Little else works in the absence of consciousness - time (duration), being. Words manufacture our lived reality - turn chaos into order.
Life is dependent on the conscious experience of the world. At least one famous physicist believes that consciousness plays a constitutive role in transforming the chaotic potential of being into the actuality of being.
At a neuro-biological level we do not understand consciousness at all.
People use their consciousness to grapple a sense of form out of potential chaos: “You should live up to your potential” implies the possibility of accruing more than what is - what COULD BE - if they participated in the process properly. We all know what this means. The idea of one’s potential is very exciting because is stimulates the hypothalamus - dopamine etc.
Trinitarian notion:
1 Potential. Often given a feminine nature as the ground from which all things rise
2 Structure: interpretive structure has to grapple with the formless potential
- Akin to God the Father
- There is something in all of us that is transcendent, is a deeply structural part of an ancient process that enables us to struggle and bring forth reality
3 Consciousness itself - active structure that has the capacity for action in the world, the Tool of the structure
- the Son, Jesus.
- The speaking of the Son - turns chaos into order. Speech and discussion manufacture our lived reality.
Unusual concept that humans are made in the image of God by playing an analogous role in the creation of structure out of chaos : having a Divine spark in each of us - all are equal before God.
So the whole Trinity was there as I understand it:)
Have you read the other lost world books?
Hey i want to add something.
In verse 14 it shows that God created the suns and stars so that they can show days years and centuries. This shows that God actually created eternity which our mind couldnt understand cuz we are created in a time limit. I hope this will answer the question that where did God come from. If i just tell you that he just exist you wouldnt understand bit if i say that your mind is in time limit to understand that God is eternal may be that will make sense. After all great video really and thank you for the book recomendation.God bless you and keep up tge good work❤
I have trouble with adhd and I feel so stupid reading the Bible. Thanks for the help.
If anyone's looking for a full indepth Bible Study on Genesis 1, and EVERY Book of the Bible, check out Kanole Gibsen (I think that's her first name). I just found her last night. She's doing 365 days of the Bible; and her knowledge of the Bible is PHENONOMEL!
One of things I love and I found interesting was how the black people came into being thorough Ham (but there is SO much more)!!
God is light, so how could there be “darkness over the deep”? I’ve wondered this for YEARS!!
Yes please, I would like you make a video on that (what you said at 7:36). But this video was made awhile ago, so I maybe you already did by now.
This is beautiful thank you
Amen! Thanks for making this!
John 1:1 could explain the manifesting of God before the existence of the earth.
The rebellion of man eating from the tree aka fall of man is where the bad starts to pour into the world. God created perfection/good and going against that is what creates bad/evil
The book of Genesis is also believed to be mostly written by Moses, back then they had next to no knowledge of science, how could we expect Moses to understand exactly what god means when he explained the creation of the universe to Moses, or whoever else received his word? Just my two sense since you mentioned not looking at the creation through a modern scientific eye
Thank you so much for making this video.
Yes! Of course!
This was very helpful, thank you.
