This shouldn't take long.
GE 1:3-5 On the first day, God created light, then separated light and darkness.
GE 1:14-19 The sun (which separates night and day) wasn't created until the fourth day.
Is Light and Dark the same as night and day? God, that was an easy disproval.
GE 1:11-12, 26-27 Trees were created before man was created.
GE 2:4-9 Man was created before trees were created.
You should re-read this verse. Trees, (fruit bearing), were created before man, and so were plants. After man was created God formed Eden. And arranged the trees including the infamous "Tree of nowledge". You must have misread the verse.
GE 1:20-21, 26-27 Birds were created before man was created.
GE 2:7, 19 Man was created before birds were created.
Another misread or ill'interpreted verse. "and fowl [that] may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven." God is making a place for the fowl to fly he hasnt created them yet. Adam names all the animals.
GE 1:24-27 Animals were created before man was created.
GE 2:7, 19 Man was created before animals were created.
See above. Adam names all the animals.
GE 1:26-27 Man and woman were created at the same time.
GE 2:7, 21-22 Man was created first, woman sometime later.
The first verse does not relate to immediate creation. Look at the word choice in a few diffrent versions. (blb.org) In ever one of the creation instances it lets the reader understand God as the supreme author of life. Then later on it tells in a chronological order the days of creation. Women was made from Adam's rib and the dust of the earth.
GE 1:28 God encourages reproduction.
LE 12:1-8 God requires purification rites following childbirth which, in effect, makes childbirth a sin. (Note: The period for purification following the birth of a daughter is twice that for a son.)
No, another misread. She must purify herself. "and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood", meaning her period, she must not have sexual actions during that time. After her time she must make an offering to cleanse herself and then she may have intercourse. It is a sin to have sex with a women who is on her period. Childbirth itself is not a sin.
GE 1:31 God was pleased with his creation.
GE 6:5-6 God was not pleased with his creation.
(Note: That God should be displeased is inconsistent with the concept of omniscience.)
"And GOD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually" This is why he was not pleased, no contridiction. Look up the definition for omniscience no where does it talk about feelings, or judgement, just the ablitlty of "all-knowledge" or all knowing.
GE 2:4, 4:26, 12:8, 22:14-16, 26:25 God was already known as "the Lord" (Jahveh or Jehovah) much earlier than the time of Moses.
EX 6:2-3 God was first known as "the Lord" (Jahveh or Jehovah) at the time of the Egyptian Bondage, during the life of Moses.
"And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by [the name of] God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them"
The israelite race did not know God as Jehovah, Remember the flood wiped out all civilazation except for Noah's family, the israelites spawned from a branch of the renewed life on earth after the flood. Theier forefathers new God as the Lord but not them. GOd has many names also. (Note the veriosn differneces.)
GE 2:17 Adam was to die the very day that he ate the forbidden fruit.
GE 5:5 Adam lived 930 years.
No another misread, Adam now had an unclean mind and heart. Orginally he was to live forever, the fruit opened his eyes to a mortal life. He lost all of God's spirtual blessings, earning death (spirtually) that is why there must be sacrafices throught the old testament until Christ's death on the cross.
GE 2:15-17, 3:4-6 It is wrong to want to be able to tell good from evil.
HE 5:13-14 It is immature to be unable to tell good from evil.
Another misread, the knowledge of good and evil was gained by eating the fruit in which satan tempted Adam and Eve to eat, which was wrong because God said not to eat of the fruit, in turn which opened their eyes to the knowledge of good and evil. Now making it a inate feeling inside us. when we lose our "childhood inoccence"
GE 4:4-5 God prefers Abel's offering and has no regard for Cain's.
Because Cain, brought him second hand while Abel brought the finest.
2CH 19:7, AC 10:34, RO 2:11 God shows no partiality. He treats all alike.
New Testment vs. Old Testament. No offerings required in the New Testament, And most of those versus do not relate to sacraficial offerings.
GE 4:9 God asks Cain where his brother Able is.
PR 15:3, JE 16:17, 23:24-25, HE 4:13 God is everywhere. He sees everything. Nothing is hidden from his view.
He wanted Cain to admit that he killed Abel. It is like when your (fill in the blank) knows you did something wrong but they want you to confess.
GE 4:15, DT 32:19-27, IS 34:8 God is a vengeful god.
EX 15:3, IS 42:13, HE 12:29 God is a warrior. God is a consuming fire.
EX 20:5, 34:14, DT 4:24, 5:9, 6:15, 29:20, 32:21 God is a jealous god.
LE 26:7-8, NU 31:17-18, DT 20:16-17, JS 10:40, JG 14:19, EZ 9:5-7 The Spirit of God is (sometimes) murder and killing.
Not true.
NU 25:3-4, DT 6:15, 9:7-8, 29:20, 32:21, PS 7:11, 78:49, JE 4:8, 17:4, 32:30-31, ZP 2:2 God is angry. His anger is sometimes fierce.
2SA 22:7-8 (KJV) "I called to the Lord; ... he heard my voice; ... The earth trembled and quaked, ... because he was angry. Smoke came from his nostrils. Consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it."
EZ 6:12, NA 1:2, 6 God is jealous and furious. He reserves wrath for, and takes revenge on, his enemies. "... who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and rocks are thrown down by him."
2CO 13:11, 14, 1JN 4:8, 16 God is love.
GA 5:22-23 The fruit of the Spirit of God is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Can I not be angry with my wife, but love her with all my heart?
GE 4:16 Cain went away (or out) from the presence of the Lord.
JE 23:23-24 A man cannot hide from God. God fills heaven and earth.
Cain was cast awayl, he was no longer clean, God cannot see unclean spirts/people, that is why we needed sacrafice/Jesus Christ
