Section 2 Free Response Questions

1. In Genesis 1:27, it says that “God
   created man in his own image.” What is
   God’s image? Are we like God? Howso?


2. a. Do you put junk food into your body
      or eat trashy food that is bad for
      you?

   b. Do you allow your brain to believe
      falsehood or read or hear or see
      trashy or vain or foolish things?

   c. Do you allow your spirit to touch
      evil or engage in ugly, profane, or
      debased activities?

   d. How are the foregoing three
      questions different?

   e. How do you see yourself with respect
      to the Holy Spirit, your spirit,
      your mind, and your body?

      Are these functioning as one? Do you
      have “integrity?” Are you
      “integrated?” Is your spirit
      integrated with the Holy Spirit?

      Or, rather, are you a little messed
      up, dissipated, “dis-integrated?”

      What are you going to do about it?
      How about letting your spirit and
      mind be affected and convicted by
      the Word of God. Let God call you.
      Would you let His Spirit call you,
      move you, change you?


3. Psalm 1 says, eternal is the man whose
   delight is in the Word of the Lord

   (and, conversely, perishing is the man
   who walks in the counsel of the
   ungodly).

   Do you *delight* in the Word of the
   Lord? The world certainly does not.
   Whom do you follow, the world or God?


4. a. On each of the six days, God created
      what?

   i. ____________________________________

  ii. ____________________________________

 iii. ____________________________________

  iv. ____________________________________

   v. ____________________________________

  vi. ____________________________________


   b. What do the first three days have in
      common?

   c. What do the second three days have
      in common?

   d. What is the pattern? Hint: Genesis
      1:2 “without form” (תּׂהוּ taho) “and
      void” (בּׂהוּ baho). We talked about
      this. What was it?


5. What is the meaning of the “waters” in
   Genesis 1:1-2?


6. What is the meaning of the “firmament”
   in Genesis 1:6ff?


7. God blessed and sanctified the seventh
   day because on that day he rested from
   his creation work.

   Wait a minute, God “rested?” You mean
   the Almighty Creator of the Universe
   and King of the Universe got “tired?”


8. In Genesis 2 begins a retelling of the
   creation story in a different way.
   Exactly in what verse does this
   retelling begin?

   a. Why retelling?

   b. Why a different way?

   c. How different? How similar?

   d. What do we learn from this Genesis 2
      retelling that was not already in
      Genesis 1?
   

9. a. God says “be fruitful and multiply”
      more than once. How many times? To
      whom does he say it?

   b. Other than the obvious, what does
      God mean by “be fruitful and
      multiply?” (It is obviously neither
      about arithmetic, nor a hedonistic
      bidding.) What is the deeper meaning
      that the Lord wants us to get?

   c. Consider “It is not good that man
      should be alone; I will make him a
      helper comparable to him.” (What
      verse is that?) How does this verse
      relate to this question?

   d. What does it mean “a man shall leave
      his father and mother and be joined
      to his wife, and they shall become
      one flesh?” (What verse is that?)
      What is the meaning of “a man and a
      woman shall be joined and become one
      flesh?”


10. What is this “Tree of the Knowlege of
    Good and Evil?” Is it good or bad?
    Why? Why would knowledge be bad? Why
    would God put a temptation there if he
    did not want man to eat from it? Was
    God tempting the man or what?


Extra Credit:

11. Here is a striking image in the holy
    story of creation. Meditate on it, and
    praise God for it, every time you
    pray.

    In Genesis 2:7 says God formed ....,
    the ..., of the dust of the ......,
    and breathed into his ........ the
    breath of .....

    However, ..., the woman, is created
    differently.

    ..., a “type” (ՏԻՊ, τύπος) of the
    C....., the Br... of ......, was not
    formed of dust but came from the
    opened .... of .....

    Now, compare:

    The Church, a heavenly Body, is born
    from the opened .... of the Second
    ...., the New ... (ՆՈՐ ԱՅՐ), the ...
    of ....

    Oh snap!
