Category Archives: A Case for Genesis

Next week we begin our Fall class, A Case for the Gospels, and we’ll have an introduction presentation on that next week. We will finish up our review of the Genesis class with a video recommendation below. If you would like to continue on through the full “Case for Genesis” class, just go to session 4, part 2 in the class list from 2022 and you can continue studying through that course.

This video is on evidence in the fossil record that disputes the very limited collection of so-called “transitional” human fossils. What we learn is that the paradigm of secular evolution is being promoted in academia across the board with incomplete information that goes unchallenged. Truth is important, and truth in educating young people is of the utmost importance. When facts are left out of the evolutionary assumption it not only skews the conclusion, but falsifies it. Humans have not evolved from lower life forms, and the lack of fossil evidence, not to mention what we now know about genetics, is proof.

Please take time to watch this excellent presentation on the “misinformation” that permeates our culture today, and how one tactful young lady addresses the fallacies that abound.

Please share this video, and the Genesis Apologetics website, with others who have questions about human evolution, creation, the Flood and the reliability of the book of Genesis!

Bible Study

Each week we will have Bible study following the presentation.

Always remember to pray before you study and ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and lead you into the truth found in God’s Word – pray for protection from the evil one who will try to discourage, distract and deceive us when we commit to growing closer to the LORD.

Note: Questions are taken directly from the chapters, and answers should be found and cited from the Scripture text in order to be Biblically accurate (unless asked to summarize in your own words). Study Bibles, commentaries and your own thoughts can be used for Discussion or Going Deeper questions. If you use these kinds of sources share them with your group.

1.  Review of Class Topic:

With your table group, discuss today’s presentation by summarizing what you learned, commenting or asking any questions.

Read Genesis Chapter 3 with your group then, to the best of your ability, answer the following questions:

2.  Go back to Genesis chapter 2: What are the two trees identified by God in the Garden, which one did He warn Adam not to eat from, and why (2:9, 17)? What is the importance of the other one (3:22)?

3.  Who is the “serpent” in Genesis 3? (Read Revelation 20:1-2) To go deeper into his identity read the veiled descriptions in Ezekiel 28:13-19; Isaiah 14:12-19, Luke 10:17-20; and Revelation 12:7-12.

4.  What did the “serpent” say to Eve and how did she respond (3:1-3)? Did Eve correctly represent what God said (Cross-reference with Genesis 2:17)? Do we ever misrepresent God’s Word, if so, how could we do better?

5.  What did the “serpent” say to Eve after her first response, and was it true (3:4-5)? How did Eve respond to this, and where was Adam when all this was going on (3:6)?

6.  What happened to Adam and Eve after they ate of the fruit, and how did they respond to God after this happened (3:7-13)? Do we ever respond to God in the same way?

7.  What did God say and do in response to Adam and Eve’s disobedience 3:14-24? Discuss the implications of this promise and curse from God.

8.  Re-read Genesis 3:15 in a few different versions for a better understanding (suggestion: compare NASB, NIV and the Easy-to-Read Version on the Bible Gateway app or other source you might have). This is the first Covenant Promise by God for a Savior. Write out your favorite one and commit it to memory.
