commentary verse by verse bible study the goal is to make sure that you understand each and every word that we're studying here that way some of you who are struggling with your bible reading because the excuses it's too hard to read if you would to keep attending this class you'll get the common sense just eventually of the reading and then you'll be able to do it yourself all right let's look at genesis chapter one verse one in the beginning all right so notice that's the best place where the text starts in the beginning so what happens at the beginning god it is very interesting that when i went to uc berkeley class that when they talked about genesis 1 1 they criticized all the modern bibles but then they praised the king james bible and i was like uh i must be smoking marijuana or something so what's what's going on here and then but what i heard was true because the key reason was because it was an all the modern bible versions because their english language was very watered down and when then it started out the language in the beginning god as you find it in the king james bible it was appropriate next to beginning is god and if you look at the hebrew text they do the same thing too they deliberately put god with the beginning that is crucial that is key that shows the power of the king james bible text already against the modern bible versions whereas the modern bible versions don't start it out that way in the beginning god now in the beginning god created the heaven and the earth so god created what the heaven and the earth if you notice in the text here about in the beginning god created the heaven and the earth there are already several things of that make up all of your universe and the elements of science that you need right here
