week 4

In the Genesis  four it describes about Adam’s family. At first it confuse me what narrator is trying to say but after reading many times I found different character like Eve his wife, Cain, Abel and Seth which I believe they are Adams and Eve children. I was surprised when I found out that Abel was shepherd and Cain worked as farmer I mean if they are children from Adam, God first creation it is impossible to imagine they are working like this somehow I was very shocked to see the evil side of Cain  In verse eight ” Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him”. I found that  Cain was jealous because God didn’t accept his offer I believe narrator motif was to show the evil nature of human which is jealousy and anger. In Genesis 6 it  is related with Cain, Due to human are selfish and created violence God also became furious and  he destroy his creation. Genesis Verse 6-7″ And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.” however I wonder what  he saw in Noah.  I believe Noah also symbolise as good side of human nature. I also found that  Tower of Babel  in genesis eight represents the pride of mankind wanting to reach the heavens and be their own gods. It also represents the error of people which is there sin because of that  sin, God divided them by making them speak different languages.

 

week 3

When I first heard king james bible I thought it would be a story about king james  but  while emerging  in the text I realised that king james of england creates simpler version of Bible. While reading king James  Bible,  I think the narrator did not twist reader brain like RigVeda it was  much easier to read. In Genesis 1 it directly convince reader that God had created universe with the reason. In GENESIS 1 (verse 2) . “And the earth was without form and void “ after reading  that verse I realised there is no life on earth and it was dark  before god exist , because of  that I believe  God started to create  lights . After creating lights he made day and night. Eventually he started to to create water, land and  grass. I believe he wanted some resourceful universe in order to exist something.  In GENESIS  2 narrator goes into depth explaining how God  creates human being.  I believe most of tone in this text was logic convincing  to readers  what happen after this and that. I believe God created nature  for  human being  as a resourceful sources for them, in  GENESIS  2 (verse 27) “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them” In my opinion I believe god himself is one who created man from him may be there is goddess which they produce women.  Overall I found that god is selfless and generous who gave so much important to human kind. (verse 27-28)   “And God bless them, and God said unto them, be fruitful and multiply, and ……….. replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”. This  made me realized that  god had sacrifice everything to human for there benefit and he saw something something different from other creature.
