20:16 If a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman and the beast: they shall surely be put to death;
If beastiality was a practice pleased by God, He would not have a death sentence attached to the criime.

Leviticus 20:15 states, If a man lie with (have sex with) a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.
20:16 If a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; If beastiality was a practice pleased by God, He would not have a death sentence attached to the criime. |

Thanks for pointing out the contradiction - another for Steve's list!

Why is the Levicticus response contradictory to you?

No, Genesis never alluded to nor did it state that it was okay for man to have sex with animals. When God told man to be fruitful and multiply, he was talking to the man outside the Garden. Adam was placed in the Garden of Eden to dress it. There were two men in the Garden. Genesis 1:26 God made man after his image and likeness. John 4:24 says, God is a Spirit. So the man in Genesis 1:28 is spiritual. Adam was formed out of the dudt of the ground and God breathed in his nostril and be became a living soul. One was spirit and was commanded to be fruitful and multiply and to replenish the earth. Adam the soul man was not given the same commandment because there was not a compatible soul mate, yet. God did not need a family to tend the garden or name the animals. After Adam's work was done, then God gave him the Woman. In keeping with his job description, he named her and called her Eve. The animals were to help him to dress and keep the garden. But when the work was over, God rewarded him with companionship. He did not ask for her neither did he desire it. hIs eyes were like those of a child, innocent. He did not even recognize nakedness to lust for the woman never the less an animal. The moment he saw nakedness he was ashamed. God kept him perserved in the garden. The spirit man was was the spirit of God creating life after his holy spirit. The soul man (Adam) was the creative mind of God at work giving names to created life.
To say that God knew that a problem would have risen with man and beast is true. The serpent (Lucifer) was in the garden and he was naughty by nature waiting for the opportunity to deceive man. To say that God knew this, yes it is true. This is why, it was nessciate to create two men in Genesis. The spirit belongs to God and he would not allow the serpent to tempt nor touch the spirit. However, if he tempted the soul, his redemptive plan was to save the soul through the blood of sacrifice of His Son Jesus. Before he allowed contact with man and beast, he created the woman whc came out of the soul of man, which is the mind. God created (took out of the thoughts of Adam) what Adam envisioned. Remember, Adam possessed the power of creativity. If beastiality was present, Adam would have envisioned an animal or whatever he thought was his kind. Remember, everything came forth of its own kind in Genesis. He knew he did not resemble an animal or vegetation. He named the animals and dressed the garden. God did not tell him how to do it, he just gave him the assignment. 1 Cor. 10:13 says, there hath no temptation taken you that is common to man but God is faithful who will not permit yu to be tempted above that ye are able but will with the temptation also make the way to escape. AND THERE WAS THE WOMAN. not beast but a wife. |

The ox is a beast of burden, the jackass, the horse, etc. Their dung was needful for fertilizer. Need I say more?

Yes, you do.
You're saying that God sent the animals to help Adam. Adam didn't find a helper. Then you jump ahead to the ending, work done, Adam gets a companion for companionship, but never got a helper. If he needed a helper, then how did the work get done? If he didn't need a helper for the work to get done, why did God ask him to look for a helper? Busy work? Teasing? So he could come backwhen Adam was changing his first diaper and say 'Hey! Cheer up! You could have been producing offspring with an elephant.' ??? |
