Many “Christians” don’t know Genesis 1:1
Post Body

The amount of times I’ve asked pastor’s kids or people in general who say their Christian what the first and most well known sentence in the Bible is and have gotten a “😗❓🤨” as a response is astounding!!

It’s as simple as “In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth” and so many Christians stand there dumb and at a loss 😭

No kidding, whenever I’m on a date with a man who says he believes in Christ but is unable to recite that first verse, I ditch him. They have no idea that whoever marries them will be considered lukewarm by extension and will be vomitted out of God’s mouth along with them, and I have no intention of apart of that mess bc it’s actually better to be cold than lukewarm 3:16.

We are seriously living during the Great Falling Away because I’m sure our current generation is the only one that doesn’t know Gensis!

Edit: It’s very disappointing to see the amount of believers who were quick to argue and throw accusations since I thought this subpage was for true Christian’s to have conversations.

Edit again: I’ve said this over and over but, I am speaking about how I vet men who want my hand in marriage and claim to be in fellowship with God but have no godly fruits in their life such as knowing the word, which is God; yet having visible rotten fruits such as sexual immorality. Stop the Heresy and projection it serves no purpose in this sub as a house divided against itself will not stand.

Someone said this and it applies to your responses to my topic: It is a very bad sign if Christians think it's too hard to know the very first words in our most important text. A text we consider sacred and invaluable. You'd think somebody who takes that seriously would at least know the first sentence. It is such a popular verse in fact, that many ppl know it. Not just Christians.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God" The beginning is God.

Not everyone who you disagree with is a troll

You’re getting caught up on words. A more simplified version is “What Christian has never heard of Gensis 1:1” which is why I ask bc every single Christian that’s on fire for God knows the verse and that’s how I tell the real from the fake.

[not loaded or deleted]

No, I’m not because new Christians are more worried about chasing God.

Im talking about the men who say that they’ve already found God, have crucified their flesh (when they haven’t), and are ready to start a life with me.

The Bible says that the spirit is truely willing but the flesh is weak.

When I marry a man I’ll marry every part of him flesh, spirit, and soul so it’s important to me that he’s laid down his life and taken up his cords to allow his spirit to be ministered to by the Lord and recurve clear guidance. God says that his sheep know his voice, his voice is the word, and the word is God.

When Jesus spoke to his disciples he told them that he was here to collect souls for the kingdom of god and said that the kingdom was open to all who were willing. Matthew 26:40 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Then men who didn’t know Genesis also didn’t know any other verses which completely negates their claims of being on fire for and in fellowship with God.

Jesus ministered to the poor, healed the sick; blind; lame; and deceased, and cared about the widow, orphan, and homeless. It would make no sense for me to say that these people aren’t true Christians when their the ones God prioritizes the most ie Jesus says that the in the Kingdom of Heaven the first will be last and the last will be first

The men who claim to know God don’t even know that one which is my point

[not loaded or deleted]

Yes that is my way of vetting them. When I ask them if they know any other verse besides Genesis 1:1 they always shrug their shoulders at me 😹

These men say they want to marry me but have yet to take any steps in their life to lay their life down, take up their cross, and crucify their flesh (the brain is apart of that) God did not introduce Eve until Adam had laid down the ground work to create life with her.

These are always the men that order alcohol on our date, discuss premarital sex with me, or make a point to bring up my breasts or butt on the first date. Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. When you take up your cross you let your flesh fade away and let your spirit rise up. God says that his sheep know his voice but you can only hear him when you let your spiritual ears do all the work!

[not loaded or deleted]

True but in this case, New Christians aren’t focused on marriage and instead on chasing God for the first time after being reborn.

I’m talking about men who claim they are ready to settle down and start a family. Like how Adam married Eve after he’d already cultivated the Earth as per God’s instructions. Only to find out that they haven’t even done the first step and died to their sins yet.

[not loaded or deleted]

Ask any worldly Christian what Gensis 1:1 is, chances are you’ll get the same result as me and come up with a blank.

Thanks for the chat and your experience on this!

Jesus said that the father’s kingdom is open to all who will accept him.

Your projecting your grievances onto because I’m talking about men who say they are ready to marry me and are on fire for God.

Whenever a man tells me he doesn’t know Genesis 1:1 I always ask him if he knows any verses and he never does. If I’m sad or in pain how could a man who knows nothing from the Bible be able to comfort me in the way that I truely need? Earthly things are fleeting but the Lord is everlasting and he will always make anything better as long as we remember his words to us.

Similarly, if my husband is in pain what use would it be for me to recite scripture to him if it will just go in one ear and out the other?

The Bible tells us not to be equally yolked where one side is working and the other is not for this very reason. For a marriage you each have to pour into eachother and put in 100% or else your better off by yourself so that your not draining yourself or someone else.

There’s no use for me as a Christian woman to marry a man who is a satanist or a whatever because we would both be teaching our children different principles and ways of live that would just lead to heat ache and confusion. I’m not interested in creating a dysfunctional family and neither should you either because a Jesus told his disciples that that it is better to stay single than to engage in such relationships.

But I’ll leave you with these 2 verses to meditate on

Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven”

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 states that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God. This includes people who are: sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexual offenders, thieves, greedy, drunkards, slanderers, and swindlers.

[not loaded or deleted]

My husband will need to be equally yolked with me.

I know you want to just argue, so I will have to disengage from you because I’m only interested in a conversation where both parties have open ears.

[not loaded or deleted]

I would not have posted this if I wasn’t.

[not loaded or deleted]

It may sound like it, but it’s not what it is. I know that we’re not saved through works but by faith ie Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.

[not loaded or deleted]

To have a conversation and I think the two are one of the ones high up there.

But to be a Christian you most definitely had to have been read or taught Genesis 1:1 and it’s disingenuous to say your a Christian but to be unable to recite any of Gods words bc the word is God. It shows a clear disconnect.

[not loaded or deleted]

And God should be fun

I can only marry a man of God and it’s not like I keep my faith a secret

[not loaded or deleted]

But it sure is a sign

[not loaded or deleted]

I’d have to disagree. I’m sure a common theme in the people who will hear “depart from me I never knew you” will be the ones didn’t read their Bibles as much as they should have.

All God asks is for fasting, prayer, and fellowship and what better way than to spend time having a conversation with me through your Bible? If a verse calls to you and sticks inside of your head, then badabing badaboom your be meditating on the voice of the Lord.

Yes Jesus is the way, but what’s the point in knowing where the door is if you don’t use the key to unlock it?

Early Christians died as martyrs for us to be to the point where we are now yet people want to argue over semantics 🤦🏾‍♀️

Friend your jumping to conclusions

[not loaded or deleted]

A man that says that he’s in fellowship with God better Walk the walk while also talking the talk else he be vommited out of Gods mouth.

Grace is what the Lord is for, not a wife. I’m supposed to be the period at the end of his current chapter so that he can start a new chapter with me. I have no interest in being with a man who is yet to crucify his flesh and let the Lord work through him. Sexually immortality opens the door to infidelity and worse and it’s in my best interest to protect myself.

If a man can’t work on himself for his own eternity’s sake then there’s no hope for him since after Adam and Eve sinned, the Earth was preset to failure. If he’s not in fellowship with God then he will never make it through the tough times that will come to his (and everyone’s way) “The one who loves his life loses it, and the one who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life” (John 12:25)

Death for Jesus is the way to life as Jesus’ death lead to everlasting Glory. If a man can’t follow Christs actions and crucify himself the same way I crucified myself then we’re like water and oil.

Gods word is our guide and should be applied to all aspects of our life as proof of our fellowship with him so, just as when the animals are not equally yoked, they are not working together to get the task done but working at odds with each other; My husband and I not having the same beliefs, values, or even morals, would lead us to be working against each other in your marriage.

In America 40% of marriages end up in divorce and Christian marriages aren’t too far off that mark. If people applied this verse to their life vetting process they’d save themselves and future children from heartbreak which isn’t what the Lord originally created us for, since were supposed to be becans of light and testaments to the Lord our God’s greatness.

And 3 is not quite right Matthew 19 When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan. 2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.

3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”

4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[a] 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’[b]? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

7 “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”

8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”

11 Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”

This is why it’s good to listen first than to always have a rebuttal prepared. I said I’d rather die than come into agreement with a man who does not put God first since marriage is a covenant.

I have no issues with submitting to a man who submits himself to God because he would definitely do as the Lord demanded and honor his wife just as he honors himself.

A man that takes this to heart will never foresake me and will always have my grace. His heart wouldn’t be hard and he would consider me in all he does just as Christ did when he laid his life down on the cross thinking of everyone who came before him and came after him.

A man who doesn’t do this has better things to worry about than my grace because it comes second to the most high’s God’s grace.

And I did address this exact thing in the comments, which was where the discussion was supposed to be held. But most of these guys just wanted to put in their 2 cents after reading my topic with blurred vision.

Yes…I also think that many are on the wrong subpage since what is Truely Christian about jumping to conclusions and twisting peoples words in a defensive way.

[not loaded or deleted]

Read everything again.

[not loaded or deleted]

John 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.

Also if you took the time to read, then you’d know this is about men who want to have my hand in marriage and start a Godly life with me.

[not loaded or deleted]

For a man to lie to me and tell me that he knows Christ without first putting down the hub and allowing his spirit to seek the Lord and show me any good fruit that God has created in his life is a dead give away to me.

They never know any verse including Gensis which always preludes to them exposing their sinful lifestyles to me. God says that his sheep know his voice and that the spirit is willing.

But trust me, they’ll always know how to comment on my body or my lips in that way before they even think to ask me what my prayer life is like.

You not only marry the person but also the spirit and soul since the Bible says you become 1 in all senses with the union of the flesh being an indicator. I don’t want any business with men who are sexually promiscuous and the like.

[not loaded or deleted]

Those people you know aren’t asking for my hand in marriage.

And this is how I vet my suitors u probably didn’t see my earlier responses but this is not arbitrary to me. God tells us not to be unequally yolked and I’d die before I carry children and give birth to them only for my husband to have a wholly different idea of how he wants to parent them.

After asking him if he knows any other verses besides Genesis he always says no. Why would I want to be with a man who claims to know God and have a personal relationship with him when he’s unable to recite a single thing. The Lord tells us that his sheep know his voice, which is his word, which is the Bible.

They expose themselves for being liars and lovers of fleshly things

[not loaded or deleted]

I’m not talking about faith because I know we’re only saved through believing in Jesus’ sacrifice which was made available to us by Gods grace.

Read what I wrote again I’m talking about marriage with me and I can instantly click when a man is not on fire for God the way he claims when he can’t recite me Gensis 1:1 because when I ask him if he knows any other verse, he never does.

God says that his sheep know his voice and his is the word which is the epitome of the Bible. And for a “follower” of Christ to not know any words is telling to what kind of Christian that they are.

[not loaded or deleted]

Also God also tells us that the spirit is willing but the flesh is not. You have to die to yourself and crucify yourself to inherit the kingdom of God because we won’t have our physical bodies in Christ.

I want to marry a man that’s been completed by Christ and not with a man who is on or hasn’t even started his journey just as God created Even when Adam had done all that was commanded of him.

God said that his sheep know his voice and his word is in the Bible. This usually tells me that they are typically the people who only give God attention on Sunday or when they need something.

[not loaded or deleted]

All I do is trust in God and his word which was given to us and also me while believing that I’m saved through Jesus’ sacrifice.

[not loaded or deleted]

During the date. But I always make sure he’s Christian while we’re discussing plans for the date as the Bible says to not be unequally yolked.

Also when a man asks me out I establish that I’m only interested in traditional courtship which is getting to know eachother and seeing if our lives align.

Your first sentence implies that you date on a secular basis where a woman is expected to have sex after a $20 dollar steak. My father has bought me cars, paid my rent for years, and paid for my tuition. I’d be damned if I gave my body up on a silver platter over Applebees since I know my worth.

Even when Adam was in the Garden conversing with God personally with no boundaries, his spirit yearned for something more but his human comprehension was at a loss.

A woman is priceless to a man and a man cannot create life without one. Any man that thinks he deserves me in that way without committing to me in a marriage before God, the world, and our families is clueless!

Hey I’ve already addressed this a couple times if you wanna take the time to look through it :)

[not loaded or deleted]

I mean…. Few will inherit the kingdom of God 😭I promise that everyone in Heaven will know Gensis bc they will know ow God.

And most people are lightly taking what I said and twisting it entirely. I never mentioned anything about new Christian’s since it’s impossible to know someone when you’ve just met them and are getting to know them.

[not loaded or deleted]

Those monks never asked for my hand in marriage but they are the exception to the rule. Most Western Christians at least have direct access to the Bible which is God and subsequently his word.

[not loaded or deleted]

Right and that was the simple version. The complex version is “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God”

The beginning is God yet people want to say that you can know God without knowing Genesis. Gensis is our introduction to him.

[not loaded or deleted]

I’ll address this since your mistaking the Lords words. The Bible says to judge righteously and as a born again Christian who’s been cleansed by Jesus’ sacrifice I can most definitely call out and expel men from my life who have no pure intentions when it comes to pursuing me.

After being washed, I can clearly see that sexual immorality only leads to death and move myself accordingly. After Adam had created the ground work as per Gods instructions, the Lord created Eve since he knew that Adam’s spirit was yearning for something else.

When Adam saw Eve he fell instantly in love and said “At last! This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken from ‘man.’” Despite having the most direct access to the Lord our God he still jumped for joy at Eves introduction and expressed his intention to be with her and conquer the Earth.

The men who don’t know Genesis also don’t know any other verse when I ask them and they can never show me any good Fruits that God has sewn in their lives. They can only show me bad fruits such as discussing my body and other things…….The flesh deteriorates and dies and in 20 or 30 years a man who was only ever interested in the physical part of me and never the spiritual part that is connected to God will leave as I would no longer serve any purpose to him.

This is why God tells us not to be unequally yolked and put ourselves in relationships where one person is draining or being depleted by their spouse because the relationship will always come to an end. He tells us that his sheep know his voice, which is his word, which is the Bible. It does me no good to be with a man and establish a life with a man who lies to himself and the world since Jesus clearly tells us to lay down our flesh and to take up our cross so that our spirits can connect with God since it is truely willing.

Hopefully this shed some light for you so you can stop trying to get the jump on me which leads to nothing and start a conversation which leads to understanding.

[not loaded or deleted]

The word is God and the very first thing he told us is that. 99% of the time, a person who doesn’t know this verse is involved in all sorts of sins and has no intention of stopping and repenting which is the very definition of lukewarmness enjoying the idea of God but never following through with his words.

[not loaded or deleted]

Worker of iniquity

[not loaded or deleted]

Yes. As Christians that’s the first verse we’re ever taught and as we all know you never forget your first!

Usually when they don’t know Genesis they normally drink, smoke, and talk about having premarital sex with me
