Old Testament

We continue to study the book of Genesis and the origins of mankind. We have studied scientific evidence that proves the accounts of Genesis to be accurate. We started to study the love of God for us. As we studied the fall of man from grace we see the promise of the One who would crush the enemy, as stated in Genesis 3:15; a promise of restoration. We see, as time passes, how people forget about God and how God remains faithful and provides a means of escape from judgment as given to Noah and his family. We discussed the events of the tower of Babel and the dispersion of the nations, and continue to see the decay of mankind. We are now in the process of discussing the book of Job and are faced with many questions about the suffering that is in the world. And as we continue to study the book, we will find out how a man can withstand unimaginable circumstances and still praise God. We have also been learning about the different names/titles of God. So far we have studied: God/ Mighty Creator (Elohim), the God who sees (El Roi), God Almighty (El Shaddai), The Everlasting God or Eternal God (El Olam), The Lord will Provide (Yahweh Yireh), and we are now studying LORD (Yaweh).
