Post 3: Metamorphoses

Ovid’s Metamorphoses and the book of Genesis have many similarities. For example, in the book of Genesis, it tells of a destructive flood that will destroy all life, with Noah building an arc to save all creatures. Similar to this, Metamorphoses tells of Jupiter punishing mankind with a flood, which wipes out mankind. Another example of similarities shared in both tales is how man was created pure, but was turned evil. In Genesis, man is corrupted by temptation and in Metamorphoses, war is introduced to man in the Iron Age, and causes chaos and evil. Although Ovid’s tale of creation is much different from Genesis’ perspective, they do over lap at certain parts, showing how Genesis may have inspired Ovid to write Metamorphose 

Post 3: Archetypes

Within my family we have different types of archetypes that we've been sticking with for a long time.  We start our week off (Sunday) by gathering all at my Aunt house and cooking a big homemade Sunday dinner.  After church on Sunday's we all meet at my Aunt house and enjoy each other in laughter and fun until the dinner is prepared. 

Another archetype we have is "Christianity" growing up we grew up in the church, going to church every Sunday morning, and in our household we always served the lord. When I was About Six years old my grandmother had given me this cross necklace and told me to wear it and keep the faith. As of today I own several of cross necklaces because it's something that represents our religion.

Post 2: Life Lessons From Creation Stories

When reading the Creation story Genesis Its easy to sometimes get caught up in the logistics of God’s power or abilities, but there are incredible and valuable doctrines found in the first few chapters of the Old Testament. I found several important principles we can learn from the Creation story that applies to our everyday life.

We have a right and responsibility to take care of the earth and where we live

   Genesis 1:26 says, “And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have fish from sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” During the Creation, Heavenly Father gave mankind dominion over the animals and the earth. How is this a life lesson? This means we have the responsibility to care for the beauty “natural” of our resources of plats.

Post 1: Creation

Creation: when I think of creation I think of the Creation, the original bringing into existence of the universe by God. Which to me means the world the universe, and creatures collectively. Most of God’s creative work was done by speaking, another indication of the power and authority of His Word. The book of Genesis 1-2 tells us that there was seven days of creation.


 Here I will list the seven days that was created by God’s creative work: Creation Day 1 (Genesis 1:1-5) God created the heavens and the earth. “The heavens” refers to everything beyond the earth, outer space. Creation Day 2 (Genesis 1:6-8) God creates the sky. The sky forms a barrier between water upon the surface and the moisture in the air. Creation Day 3 (Genesis 1:9-13) God creates dry land. Creation Day 4 (Genesis 1:14-19) God creates all the stars and heavenly bodies. Creation Day 5 (Genesis 1:20-23) God creates all life that lives in the water. Creation Day 6 (Genesis 1:24-31)
God creates all the creatures that live on dry land. This includes every type of creature not included on previous days and man. God declares this work good. I know I stated that god had seven creation days but there really was originally six creation days which marked his work complete on the sixth day. But on Creation Day 7 (Genesis 2:1-3) God rests.
