Casper Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) I was reading over the creation in Gen 1 and Moses 2 with both accounts the next chapters say that no flesh was yet on the earth, does this mean that the accounts of the creation in the above chapters are about the spiritual creation. They also mention in Gen1:27-28, Moses 2:27-28 that man was made on the 6th day but it does not mention being made of the dust at that time. It is not mentioned until later in the next chapter of both Gen and Moses when the creation of man is mentioned a second time. Also in D&C 77:12 it says that man was formed out of the dust on the 7th day. So I would like to hear your thoughts on wither Gen 1 and Moses 2 are about the Physical or Spiritual creation.

mikbone Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Abraham chapters 4 and 5 are the spiritual creation. I have perceived the Genesis and Moses versions as the physical creation. If Christ is the Carpenter then Elohim is the Architect. As you read Abraham 4 & 5 you will notice that the creation work is done by "the Gods," whereas in Moses and Genesis the work is done by God.
