It is just a story.

Well let's see, you do say we're all gods and therefore if we don't take times for ourselves, well seems rather stupid to me...

😑 You of all people judging cause we parts of the whole.....It's like arm cursing my leg........what the heck..........We are all part of each other...".IMO" ---> (for Bardocks sake).......lol

and He rested, not as one weary, but as well pleased with the fruits of His wisdom and goodness and the manifestations of His glory.

After resting upon the seventh day, God sanctified it, or set it apart, as a day of rest for man. Following the example of the Creator, man was to rest upon this sacred day, that as he should look upon the heavens and the earth, he might reflect upon God's great work of creation; and that as he should behold the evidences of God's wisdom and goodness, his heart might be filled with love and reverence for his Maker.

Besides tell me where in the bible it states that the man (before the fall) did not rest in the garden of Eden? God did create the moon, so that we would not always be exposed to the sun. And perhaps for rest, IT DOESN'T SAY. We can inquire though, that God did not remove from man fatigue (like weary fatigue as in after a grueling exercise).

A god wouldn't need to rest.

^ was this god an egotist or what? 😆

He didn't do it out of need, he did it by example....

Why an example for an already perfect world?...

That is right, man was sinless at the time. God must have known that man would sin. God must have made man to sin.

Because man still had choice....

Or God prepared ahead of time INCASE man was to sin...

If I remember right, god didn't say rest on the Sabbath to Adam and Eve...he only gave them one warning....The tree thing...

Na ah....Why would god give an example in a perfect world? He only gave one commandment.
