World, Genesis, and Theology of the Pentateuch e-bog

The World, Genesis, and Theology of the Pentateuch sets its focus on God's redemption of the entire human race following the entrance of sin into the physical time-space (i.e., the physical universe, physical realm of creation). Redemption didn't begin in the New Testament, but in the first book of the Bible called Genesis. As such, God has been reaching out to people through various means, methods, and ways to rebuild the divine and human relationship that became broken by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Satan understood God's plan to save humanity and never set idly by to watch his purposes unfold in the lives of people. He countered by introducing a false narrative of the origin of people and the universe to all of those willing to believe him, and surrender faith in place of what can be explained away or sounds good. The counter-narrative to God's inspired message of creation is evolution. It purports teachings by people who reject the creation account in Genesis chapter one. Evolution is therefore populism. It floods the education systems and many other worldly institutions under the disguise of being scientific, which is not scientific at all. Other counter-narratives extending out of evolution includes the evolution of the species and the big bang theory, which two systems that stand in opposition to the Bible. Additional points of emphasis include:Redemption began with the fall of humanity in Genesis and was completed in Jesus Christ in the New Testament. It uncovers how redemption began and took shape in beginning stages of human history, and how God's plan of redemption became clearer with the personal calling of Abraham through Israel and Moses. The 5 books of Moses called the Pentateuch embodies one-third of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) prior to Jesus Christ in the New Testament. Genesis leads the way in God's message to the human race. The ancient Gentile nations that vowed allegiance to other exalted deities apart from God manufactured their own religions, beliefs, literature, and teachings they tied to the deities they revered as divine. Such writings became the nucleus through which the nations viewed the world from the concept of religion, their gods, and the afterlife; and thereby competed with the knowledge of Israel's concepts in the way they viewed the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Redemption is not and cannot be found in other forms of worldly wisdom, knowledge, and teaching. But God's concept of people accepting him on the basis of faith in his word mirrors the example of Abraham's faith in the one true God that created all things that exist. John M. Powell, PhD (ABD)
