>>I wonder what the “Crevo’s” think when they read in Genesis chapter 1 that God created all the animals first and then Adam, or read in chapter 2 that God created Adam first and THEN created the animals.<<

I would think you have no idea how to read scripture.

Gen 2 is a closer look at the more generalized version of what happened in Gen 1. A closer reading of the detailed descriptions shows past tense when appropriate in order to give the reader understanding of the chronology.

There is no contradiction, only a deeper description. Perhaps to the one who wants to find a “gotcha!” moment in scripture it can seem to be contradictory; but to the saved Christian, who is given ‘eyes to see’, Scripture is clear.

Tokra already had several people point out that Gen. 1 and 2 do not contradict in other threads . . . Tokra is still posting it though . . . : P

but to the saved Christian, who is given ‘eyes to see’, Scripture is clear.

Then explain why there are more than one version of Jesus' very last words on the cross.

Luke 23:46 says: "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."

But John 19:30 says: "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."

How can both gospels be correct when they give different versions of the last words of Jesus?

Answering by saying something like "Those who are in the Spirit understand these things" is not a real answer. Both of these gospels cannot be right when they contradict each other.
