The nature of God in Genesis Genesis is the first book of the Bible. It begins with the story of God's creation of the universe. The Lord is the Almighty Creator of the world, the heavens, the seas, the animals, man and woman. Rules the universe and develops relationships with man. Throughout Genesis, God acknowledges the fact that humans make mistakes and accepts their imperfection. Over the course of Genesis, God changes from one who does not tolerate disobedience to one who shows mercy. At the beginning of Genesis, God punishes Adam and Eve for disobedience. After making the mistake of flooding the world, the Lord realizes that He is not perfect either and does not allow Jacob's deception of his father to taint his future. In the story of Adam and Eve, God severely punishes the first two humans for disobeying. his orders. After placing Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, God commands “…the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, though you shall not eat of it, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” (15). After Adam and Eve disobeyed, God became indignant and punished them severely. “I will greatly multiply your (the woman's) grief and their conception... and your desire will be towards your husband, and he will reign over you. And to Adam he said... cursed is the earth because of you; you will eat of it with sorrow all the days of your life; ... And to Adam he said: You will eat bread in the sweat of your face, until you return to the earth; for from it you were taken; for dust you are and dust you will return” (16-17). God's punishment of women is especially harsh, making childbirth treacherous for them and appointing man as their ruler. To Adam, the Lord says that man is not immortal... in the center of the card... this can be seen from the story of Adam and Eve. After creating a flood that destroys the entire world, God realizes he made a mistake. He assures Noah that he will never do it again. The Lord learns from his mistakes, just as humans learn from theirs. God accepts the fact that no one is flawless and no longer punishes every transgression. He is aware that even He, the Lord, can sometimes show poor judgment, human beings should have the privilege of a second chance. For example, God gives Jacob a second chance when he does not punish him for deceiving his father. Instead of penalizing Jacob, God ignores his sin and blesses Jacob, allowing him to prosper. As is often the case with humans, God's nature changes when He is exposed to new experiences. Throughout Genesis, the Lord transforms from someone who does not tolerate disobedience to someone who shows mercy.
