In Genesis chapters 1 and 2 is the creation narrative. However, when we look at chapter 1, there is a distinct difference to how God refers to Himself, than in chapter 2. Why is this the case? Why does God refer to Himself by a different “name” in Genesis 2?
In the gospels we read where mothers were bringing their children to Jesus to bless them; but the disciples did not permit it. Jesus became angry and publicly rebuked His disciples. Why did He do this?
In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), we read of the encounter of Jesus and the rich young ruler. He calls Jesus “good master” and asked what could he do to gain eternal life. Jesus questioned him about calling Him “good” and told him that only God is “good”. What did He mean by “there is none good”?
