I have never heard Genesis exposited, and I so look forward to this series, and I so appreciate Dr. Lawson's opening qiestions.

I am Vatsala from India thanks for deep study with good sermon

Love to hear him speak, Holy Spirit Power working through him....

What heart is filled to overflowing at the power of our God and everything was done to show us our need of Him and His provision for us who were dead in our trespasses and sins. Thanks dear brother for showing the many facets of those two verses it was exciting to see the correlation with psalm 139 n John 1

Thank you Dr. Lawson and Trinity for doing Genesis. God bless you 🙏

A reminder of the omnipotent, omnipresent, almighty awesome God who created us.

What a doctrinal truth, this is Biblical Theology 🙏🏼

How wonderful if he would do the whole Bible!! Thank you for your preaching and teaching of our Father's Word.

The life story of the man who wrote ‘Abide with me’ was abandoned by his own father. He was taken to Petora Grammer school in Enniskillen because he was recognised as being a gifted child. He then went on to Trinity, Dublin and became a Minister. While he was working as a minister he was converted to. Hesitate. He then moved to England and worked very hard amongst the ordinary people. He always knew he was one of them even though he received a prestigious education.

You need to read the invisible war by Donald Grey barnhouse

Now just something else in chapter 10:25 it says that in the days of Eberh the earth was divided, in other words, the landmass was breaking apart making space for Chapter 11 when the language of the peoples was divided. WHAT INTELLIGENCE?.

Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today.

God create out of the invisible something that exist but unseen. Nothing plus Nothing equals nothing

These are this 3 elements eternally present in the beginning with Creation : Spirit , Water , and Darkness . With them the Universe came to existence , because of the Power of the SPIRIT GOD . Similarly , after God made the first Man ; male & female in His Image , the same exact elements were used , in order to multiply mankind for His Glory .( John 3:6-7 ) .

The maximally efficient search for intelligence is by beginning with what is known and knowable, and pairing down the Search Space by the binary principle of 'general and specific'. For example, consider the cosmos as the general thing, and the Earth as the specific thing about the cosmos. As a binary gendered entity, the human person, male or female, implicitly admits that there is a masculine/feminine relation between the general cosmos and the special Earth. Hebrew grammar is verb-subject, whereas English grammar is subject-verb. So, while the English of Genesis 1:1 begins with: 'In the beginning, God...' the Hebrew begins with: 'In the beginning created...' which provokes the following seven-foldness: 1. the general cosmos and the special Earth (Genesis 1:2). 2. The Earth, as its own general subject, implying that which we all intuit is most valuable about the Earth unto itself in all the cosmos: its abiding maximal abundance of open liquid water (Genesis 1:2). 3. that water and its special relation to the Sun's light, hence the water cycle (vs. 3-10); 4. The water cycle and its special beneficiary and member, biology (vs. 11-12); 5. biology and its special category, animal biology (plant/animal/mineral = animal) (vs. 20-22, 24-25); 6. Animal biology and its special category, human (vs. 26-28); 7. The man and the woman (Genesis 2:21-23). This seven-fold recursion is not had by an aloof, indifferently 'objective', theologically reductive, or Platonic, view of Scripture. It is had only by the most personally intimate sensibilities of the goodness of a Creator of an ideally good initial Creation. So Genesis 1:1 is entirely concerned to affirm the Biblical idea that, since the Living God designed and created us, we not only are not insignificant, we are the central value of the entire account, and of the entire cosmos. Even more, this recursion fits the fact that the Bible's general account of origins, Genesis 1, conspicuously lacks mention of any material origin only for humans. This lack of such mention of the material origins only of humans does two things. One, it poses humans as transcending the Earth in some sense. Two, it implies that such mention is to be anticipated, as a completion to the account. Per 7, this anticipation is fulfilled in the special account of origins, Genesis 2.

​@@nyenye9393 It is all my own work. It is directly from the text of the Bible. For example, the one specific value in Psalm 19 is to a lyrical identification of the Sun as a 'bridegroom'. To what does the psalm imply as the 'bride'? The Earth. I have spent the last seven years writing, full-time, about this kind of thing, mainly about how Genesis 1 shows it. I was inspired to do this work by how much I hate the fact that, in regard to some or all of Genesis 1, too many of my fellow modern YEC's are thinking: 'Ha! You modern, "science"-worshiping skeptics! God created matter, and Genesis 1 says so explicitly.' I affirm the first, and repudiate the second. Let's called them Axiom 1 and Axiom 2. But there are problems with both, just more so with Axiom 2. Of Axiom 1 (Ha! You modern, "science"-worshiping skeptics! God created matter!), it fits Deism at least as well as it fits the Bible. It is a 'cosmic physics' obsession that, if allowed to lead to Axiom 2, reductively undercuts the account's most naturally self-evident values. This is because it claims to rightly deny some of those values, and, in their place, putting merely explicit information on 'cosmic physics' factoids. To say 'God created matter' is to say nothing of God's relation to us. It is, in effect, a 'creationary' label stuck onto a blandly secular, reductive misconception of the deep reality of the things about which it purports to wisely state. The deep reality of matter is that of a Fine Tuning for sake of something far more valuable than 'matter': for sake of the following three things. (I) water-based life, (II) Earth's cosmically unique role in the support of that life, and (III) a Biblically compatible kind of human physical and metaphysical cosmological virtue. Of particular note in these three values is that they do not include Sun, Moon and stars. The reason why is a reason that even Genesis 1 can show us. Perhaps especially, the account's central portion shows this. First, this is the only portion of the account in which the luminaries are outright specified. Second, despite the first, it specifies them not in blandy secular terms of mere 'physical cosmology'. Rather, it specifies them in terms of their value for life on Earth. So its mention of the two 'great' lights is not to a concern for their objectively physical size. And Axiom 2 is a conceptually dissociative assertion that renders God as a 'physics snob' who lacks the sense to sign His work. Matter is not to be presented as if it is merely the 'stuffing' that gives lifelike form to empty animal hides. 'Roadkill' may be said to be merely comprised of mere 'matter'. The Creator-Designer of living creatures, and of a cosmos fine tuned for life, is not profoundly represented by 'creationary factoids'. God created nose hairs, so what? He created boogers, snot, and poop. So what? But, unlike 'matter', reductively conceived, at least boogers, snot and poop are indications of life. 'Matter', reductively conceived, is an indication of nothing so much as an atheistic, or conceptually dissociative, way of thinking. God did NOT create that kind of 'matter'. A 'cosmic physics' hermeneutic, imposed on the self-evident life-affirming values of Genesis 1:1, is a modern-centric attempt to win a metaphysical race by ever only keeping even with the opponent's known refusal to get anywhere within a million miles of the metaphysical finish line (Romans 1:19-20). The epitome of the 'cosmic physics' hermeneutic is that of the basis of a particular 'cosmic physics' model of Genesis 1:1-8. Both that basis and that model are authored by Danny Faulkner ((( 2016: Thoughts on the raqia. Answers Research Journal, assets.answersingenesis.org/doc/articles/pdf-versions/arj/v9/raqia-cosmic-microwave-background.pdf answersingenesis.org/astronomy/cosmology/thoughts-raqia-and-possible-explanation-cosmic-microwave-background/ ))). As to the basis of that model, Faulkner begins by claiming (A) God would not have burdened the ancient Hebrews with cosmological concepts to which they would not have been able to relate. The reason Faulkner begins with this claim is in order to be seen as justifiably violating that very claim, per (B) God did burden the ancient Hebrews with cosmological concepts to which they admittedly would not have been able to relate: Per (A), God would not have burdened the ancient Hebrews with the modern concept of the Earth's atmosphere, in which the Earth is enveloped in a cosmically thin layer of pressurized air, and beyond which is an airless vacuum. Per (B), God did burden the ancient Hebrews with the admittedly esoteric idea of an effectively cosmic shell of water that exists out beyond all the galaxies, somewhat like how an egg shell is to the egg that's inside the shell. Faulkner admits that the cosmic physics hermeneutic is special to the modern Age. But he fails to see the hypocrisy he commits in his effort to convince fellow YEC's that that hermeneutic is Biblically both plausible and probable. ... Now, about the five names that Genesis 1 reports that God gave to five things.These five things seem to be the five basic factors of the Earth's water cycle. Specifically, He names these five in three sets, (I), (II), (III): (I) binary cyclically distributed thermal regulation ('day' and 'night', v. 4-5, phenomenologically described ); (II) radiologically mediative, and breath-allowing, atmosphere ( 'shamayim' vs. 6-8 ); (III) binary thermal surface distribution system ( 'erets' and 'yawmim' vs. 9-10 ) So the Calendar Day reading of Genesis 1 is based soundly on the day-night cycle, which is the prime cycle of biology, in that it is about the Earth's water cycle. That reading, is part of the humanly universal natural reading of the account. This is because of 'how' we humans live. We live, and work, on the Earth, which is in life-affirming proximity to the Sun. We do not live in, and toil to maintain, a Star Trek like spaceship that's stranded floating in intergalactic space. The 'cosmic physics' hermeneutic discounts the value, for our notion of Divine Design, which inheres in the kind of environment in which God created humans. God did not create 'matter, blah, blah blah.' He did not take His cue from modern, 'science'-worshipping, secular physical cosmologists. He did not say, 'Ha! You modern, "science"-worshiping skeptics! I, the Biblical Creator, spelled out in my account that I created matter.' For, if the cosmos is fine tuned for everything from microbes to marriage, then the 'cosmic physics' hermeneutic is like a self-appointed speaker at a wedding who thinks it best to give, both to the guests and the father of the Bride, a verbal introduction of it all by not even mentioning any of it until first having declared the 'glorious' fact that the father of the Bride created matter and such. If it were not a wedding, and if no one there had any prior clue to the point of such a declaration, then they all, including the father of the bride, would assume this was an introduction to a lecture on the very kind of 'physics' that ignores Divine Design. But, since it is a wedding, and since the declaration purports to honor the father of the bride, there are only two ways in which it possibly could be right to respond to that self-appointed speaker. And which of those ways actually would be right would depend on whether that speaker is already known to be a bit mentally addled. For example, he may be the bride's adoring autistic-savant brother who has yet to fully appreciate Divine Design,and so whose love for his sister he has joyously expressed by that odd declaration. Because, if that self-appointed speaker is mentally normal, such that he has a 'basic' appreciation of Divine Design, then, if he does not repent of his offense, he ought to be driven from the wedding, and, if necessary, by physical force. --- My whole point in all this is that I vehemently reject the idea that Genesis 1 is, on God's part, even partly an effort to shame or rebuke anyone. Let the worshipers of violence-based, aloof pagan deities be enamored of a 'might makes right' mentality in favor of those deities. Let the Biblical Creator and Redeemer never be thought, by any of His people, to be He of Whom it actually is true to say, 'might makes right.

What a physics you expounded.. Read it 1:1-2 Gen.2:4 Jer.4 23-27

I believe the word Elohim, is also used mostly as a title. God the father is not the only one in the bible called Elohim. He is the chief Elohim, but there are Elohim's under him. "For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality" the Hebrew word for "God" is "אֱלֹהִים" (Elohim). This is a common term used throughout the Hebrew Bible to refer to the deity or God.

Confusion explain gap theory

Just a small comment on what is said in this video about Genesis 1 is absolutely false believing that our Most High God and Father in heaven created the heaven and not the heavens! In the beginning God(number H430; el-o-heem, gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used(in the plural(thus) especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative: angels, gods, goddess, very great judges). Of course, being part of the fallen into apostasy believer Church calling themselves disciples and later calling themselves Christians back in 1890 when James Strong was chosen by the Holy Spirit to use numbers in the translations of the manuscripts found into English in the King James Bible was dismissed and kept James Strong numbers translations from their congregations! So, from then on, Strong's numbers absolute Truth translations has been dismissed and kept hidden from their congregations who calls themselves Christians! Anyway, just a little bit of lack of absolute Truth informations written in the scriptures!😭

Genesis is literal with metaphorical undertones in certain parts but God did literally create the world. Days can be taken to mean several different things depending on the definition because of the Hebrew word that is used.
