Appendixes To The Companion Bible

THE SO-CALLED
"CREATION TABLETS"

This Is Appendix 8 From The Companion Bible.

   The Cosmogony of Genesis is in flat contradiction to that of the so-called "Creation Tablets," preserved in an epic poem in honor of Merodach, the patron god of Babylon. If Genesis looks back to Creation, it is to put on record the profound contrast between them, and to give, instead of the corruption of primitive truth, which had been handed down by tradition, the Divine account by Him Who created all things, by the hand and pen of Moses.

   The word "without form" (Hebrew tohu) is used of a subsequent event which, we know not how long after the Creation, befell the primitive creation of Genesis 1:1. It occurs in Genesis 1:2. Deuteronomy 32:10. 1Samuel 12:21 (twice). Job 6:18; 12:24; 26:7. Psalm 107:40. Isaiah 24:10; 29:21; 34:11; 40:17,23; 41:29; 44:9; 45:18,19; 49:4; 59:4. Jeremiah 4:23.

   The Hebrew bohu, rendered "void", means desolate, and occurs in Genesis 1:2. Isaiah 34:11. Jeremiah 4:23.

   The two words together occur in Genesis 1:2. Isaiah 34:11. Jeremiah 4:23.

  1. The Tablets begin with chaos.
    The Bible with perfection (Genesis 1:    1).
  2. The Tablets make the heavenly bodies to be gods.
    Genesis makes them created matter.
  3. The Tablets are all polytheistic mythology.
    Genesis is monotheistic truth.
  4. The Tablets make all the work of a craftsman.
    In Genesis, God speaks, and it is done.
  5. In the Tablets we meet everywhere with the puerilities of a grotesque superstition.
    In Genesis we find the grand and solemn realities of righteousness and holiness.

Watchman News hosts several archives of Bible studies such as these by the Watchmen Bible Study Group. Although we are not affiliated with this or numerous others using the term Watchman in their names, we believe it important keep the full content intact for research and analysis for Bible students of future generations. We keep it available as good members of the body of Christ, for Christian unity. We do so on a non-profit basis. As the original owner's site went offline years ago, no one has paid to keep it online but us. We pray and hope such ministries are more careful about having successors to carry on their works in the future. Although we do not agree on every point of doctrine, we still believe it very important to not edit any of the original contents. Our own statements of beliefs are found at www.CelticOrthodoxy.com, and for example in the book "7th Day Sabbath in the Orthodox Church" etc.
