    Not really. What it states is that God (Elohim-The Trinity) "created" man in His Image.

    Like ALL Scripture from Genesis 2:4 to the end of Revelation 22, the narrative takes us back to one of the Days of Creation and adds details to that Day of Creation. Genesis 2:4 takes us back to a time after the first Earth was made but BEFORE plants, herbs and trees, when Adam was made on the 3rd Day. Adam was NOT created by God the Trinity but "formed" from the contaminated air, dust and water which contained darkness or DEATH by Lord God/Jesus. Amen?

    Adam was CREATED on Day 6 at the SAME time Eve was created in God's Image, which is to be born again Spiritually in Christ. Genesis 1:27 and Genesis 5:1-2 God is STILL creating new creatures in Christ today, at the end of the present 6th Day/Age in the creation of the perfect Heaven. He will NOT rest or cease creating until Heaven is filled with ALL of it's host, which includes all Christians. Genesis 2:1

    Ok if you want to deny basic Scripture that is on you. But Genesis 1 says they were created on the 6th day, not the third. There is NO other way to read that. And yes, they were created in his image, but they were still CREATED on that day. He even gave them commands on that day. THE SIXTH DAY not the third.

    No that is incorrect. That is not what it means to be created in the imago Dei.

    Your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps some LSD.

    You don't seem to know the difference between God (Elohim) and Lord God (Jesus). God creates eternally and Jesus creates temporarily since Jesus creates out of the contaminated air, dust and water which God made BEFORE the 1st Day. Genesis calls the temporal creatures Jesus forms "His kind" and calls the "living" creatures which God creates ETERNALLY, "Their kind". Amen?

    Not so else someone would be able to refute (prove me wrong) Scripturally. Can you? Of course not. God bless you

    From the King James Version of God's Holy Word, which you should not call "nonsense". Amen?

    Then post chapter and verse which supports your ancient view. All you have claimed is that Adam was created on the Day of Salvation, the present 6th Day, which I have agreed with. What you have not done is show me WHEN Adam was formed physically, which was the 3rd Day. IOW, it is you who is refuted Scripturally. Amen?

    You gave nonsense about the 3rd day. And we are not in the sixth day. The seventh day already happened. PAST TENSE.

    So Ben - you are too removed from my belief system to even discuss it in a meaningful way.

    Be safe.

    @BenWest any day you have me and @Revmitchell fighting on the same side you know there must be a problem with your theology.

    Aside: Despite my early clashings with @Revmitchell we have talked a lot privately and I actually like him a lot though we disagree on much.

    Genesis 2:4-9 is not nonsense since it tells us Adam was physically "formed" on the 3rd Day by Lord God/Jesus.
    Adam was "created" on the 6th Day at the same time Eve was "created" in God's Image or born again Spiritually in Christ by God the Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ALL Humans live and die on the present 6th Day and in order to go to Heaven, they MUST be born again Spiritually by God the Trinity. John 14:16 Do you think Adam and Eve will be in Heaven?

    We live today at Genesis 1:27 because God the Trinity is STILL creating people in Christ Spiritually. Ask ANY Gospel preacher if God has already rested/ceased creating from ALL of His work of creating? If He has,rested from ALL of His work of creating, then it is too late to be born again in Christ Spiritually. Amen?

    False. Are you Catholic? With your thinking please explain the following verse:

    Gen 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

    Who is his and their?

    It in no way says that. Genesis 2 is not talking about the third day. It's not a full recount of creation week. It's talking specifically about the creation of man.

    Yes God rested. Exodus 20 confirms that the seventh day already happened. It has nothing to do with a spiritual creation. Where are you getting that nonsense? Not from Scripture.
