He never did do that one. 😱

He rested to view his work maybe, no where does it say he was tired.

Well, many believe that he rested on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath (Saturday), as an example for all to rest on that day. That man should not work 7 days straight. Though this was before the fall. Man did not have to work at this time.

"Rest" implies tiredness. No one rests who is not tired.

It's so we go to church on a Sunday 😛

BUT THE 7th DAY IS SATURDAY!!

i think its wordplay. rest doesnt mean take a nap, it means stopped, came to a conclusion, ended the making. like when we dip oreos in milk.
day1-go to store
day2-buy oreos and milk
day3-go home
day4-open oreos
day5-pour glass of milk
day6-dip oreo and eat
day7-rest

sorry for the double post but i just spent 2 days at the store

I'm going to say that the 7th day was a metaphor, or either that or the guy who wrote Genisis needed a transition into the next part, which was the adventures of Humans in Eden. But that's going off the idea that the bible was written by man.

debate or be shot.

God was forming our week. God being God did not need to rest.

Dont expect the bible to make sense, it was never based on logic in the first place.

On the previous six days, God created everything BUT rest. So on Day 7, he created rest. It was his way of telling us, Don't work every friggin moment of your finite lives. Stop to smell the roses.

what do you mean...he waited until the last day to create "rest"? That doesn't make any sense.

rest was created when the first creature was created; without rest, animals couldn't survive. they need energy...just like everything else (even God, evidently)

I would imagine because He was pooped....that's a lot of work creating a universe.....ever try it?

Yes actually, I made one twice as fast. God needs to work out more.

I think God rested on the seventh day because he got lazy.
