Why did God rest on the 7th day?

Started by meep-meep15 pages

He rested so he could release some stress and yank it. That's assuming he is a he, which he isn't.

Because he only gave 1 commanment of not eating from the tree, there would be nothing to support an example of resting on the 7th day. There would be no purpose for it. It was Pre-Fall.

Well, god set the whole thing up. God made Satan and man to sin, so, god did all of it knowing what would happen. 😆

It was a trick...... 😠

Creating the universe is hard work I mean geez I bet God didn't even have time to make a cup of coffie... 😛

No in actually mindship hit the mark. God was resting to show us that sometimes you just need to take a break before you overwork youself. Of course today in modern society everyone's overworked.

But it was before the Fall......there was no work then..

Where does it say that. God created Adam "to cultivate and care for it" (Gen. 2:15). Incase you didn't know, that's work 😉

What kind of paradise is that then..... 😑

He was playing in it. He was naming all the animals and stuff.....why would he work? Work came after the fall.

Gen. 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

^ the story of Adam and Eve is just a story, it is not history. 🙄

Well because there was still a sense of duty, but the duty wasn't taking as an arduouse task as duty is taking now. It was almost a joy knowing you were fulfilling your purpose. Kind of like the people that love to go to work because they love their job. Same thing.

It is to some people. We know nothing of "prehistory" other than what was left behind by nature and time. Basically any theory or idea in regards to it, is a story...

There is truth in the story, but it is not literal.

it is not history to anybody. The story of Adam and Eve has Eve being created from Adam's rib......which ofcourse has the same DNA structure as the rest of Adam's body. If Eve were created from his rib...she would have the exact same dna sequence from that rib as Adam...........meaning all humans would have the exact same dna sequence.......we would all be clones of the exact same dna sequence.

OK..........question answered......jacope-owns-xyz

See above......

So you know everybody? My point isn't proving whether or not it's history or not, but Why God rested on the 7th....

The bible never said there was a since of duty before the fall...

God rested on the 7th day cuz he wanted some time to post on KMC.

Yes, that's true........ 🙄 .........All parts of the whole, we are all doing it.......

No, it is a HUGE catholic teaching that, considering the bible is the only book with every single liturgical genre in a single text (mythology, legends, fables; all part of litureature) That the bible will hold (preferably the genesis) a mythological stand view. Granted, the catholic church also holds that "we do not read the bible for the historical, or geographical, or even literal translations it may include, but rather the inerrant truths it contains.

It never said there were meteors, or comets, or eclipses, or even a KMC!!! #ninja# But then again, the bible doesn't say a lot of things, we can only speculate with the little information we have....
