Did you know that the first Book of the Bible is not called Genesis. The Hebrew title of the first book comes from the very first word, Bereshit, meaning Beginning. You are probably saying, "Doesn't Genesis mean the Beginning?". Not exactly. Genesis means origins, which could be misconstrued, unfortunately, based on what you have been taught. Therefore, I thought that I would give you the first five verses of the Bible, word for word, without any denominational bent to it.
1.... Beginning.
1.... Beginning.
Elohim created the heavens and the earth.
2. The earth became a wasteland, an undistinguishable ruin. Darkness was over the surface of the surging abyss of the deep water. The Spirit of Elohim hovered over the surface of the water.
3. Elohim spoke, “Come Forth, Light.” Light appeared.
4. Elohim saw the light. Because it was good, Elohim separated Light, from among the darkness.
5. Elohim called the light, by name. Day. The darkness, he called, by name. Night.
Evening. Morning. One Day.
What do you think? It's a little different. Isn't it? Genesis or Beginning?
....And That's What You'll Find, When You Search For The Truth.
