Genisis 1-3 (i never liked apples anyways)

so who said that there is nothing good in genisis and it is all of that boring stuff like, God created the earth in 7 days, technically 6 because the 7th day he rested, and how about making man from dust. After reading it again now that i care, i find it even more interesting and an awesome display of Gods power.   it astonishes me how many people including myself limit Gods power and what he can do in our lives, but yet he created the universe in 6 days. how does that work out?  just a question.  After creating the universe and everything in it, he proceeded to speak man into existence from dust and breath.  The first thing that he said to man was “be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and govern it” including the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.  2:21-25 is the verse that talks about God making woman.  He says This helper was created specifically for man, from man, ans she is perfect for him.  not he is perfect for him.  but she.

Later on in chapter three it discusses eve eating that darn apple.  she was deceived by the serpent and then God put man in charge over woman.  There was a list of consequences that came from that stupid apple.

For women, the pregnancy pain is sharpened, and it says that woman will attempt to controle their husbands, but the husband shall rule over her.

For men, it says that the ground was cursed because man listened to his wife and ate the apple anyways, and it says that all of the fruit bearing bushes ad trees will grow thorns and sharp pokey things so that man will only eat enough to get by by the sweat of his brow.  and this would be until man and women returned to the dust consistency in which we were made.
