    1. Does God always follow judgment with grace throughout the entire Bible? If there is a time without grace, why might that be?
    2. Why did Abram feel he had to lie to protect himself. Why couldn't he just trust God to look after him?
    3. Historically many churches have chosen to either a focus on the effects of sin or prosperity doctrine. Why does this either/or behaviour happen?

    1. Who were the people supposed to be representing God to if their role was to be image-bearers of God?
    2. Why did Noah curse Canaan? He was the son of Ham and wasn’t even directly mentioned as being involved, so why? And how do we see the curse working out?
    3. What has influenced your re-thinking of the Sunday School version of the stories in Genesis 1-11 to focus on God’s purposes rather than where Cain found a wife?

    1. If the flood didn't fix mankind's sinning, what did it achieve? Was God just grumpy but now he's got it out of his system and has promised not to do it again?
    2. God promises not to destroy the earth again but isn’t Isaiah 65:17 creating a new earth a different way to say destroy the earth again?
    3. Why is Noah first told to take two of every type of animal into the ark but later to take seven of every kind of clean animal? How would he know the difference?

    1. Does the phrase ‘Cain brought some fruits of the soil' but Abel brought from the 'firstborn', indicate anything regarding the quality of or heart inclination of the offerings?
    2. You mentioned a commentary that said we are too hard on Cain but should be harder on God-how can we do this appropriately?
    3. Why would the Bible at such an early stage of knowing God, contain both Eve and Cain’s ways of misrepresenting him. How do we know what’s right or wrong about God?

    1. If the snake does not represent the devil, then why is it important that Jesus is the one to crush his head? Does the snake represent evil more generally? Or…
    2. If God made Adam and Eve equally in their vocation, why does God only curse Adam’s work on the ground?
    3. Why has this excerpt from the bible been used by so many preachers to emphasise the hopelessness of the human condition and the burden of sin?

    1. If the Genesis record of God's instructions to Adam and Eve is literal, why should we regard their dialogue with the serpent as a parable?
    2. Was the interaction with the snake ordained/allowed by god as a way to give us a choice to follow him or not?
    3. If Eve and Adam didn’t have the knowledge of good and evil, how could they know that the serpent was lying, or that what they were doing was wrong?

    1. To what degree did the original audience interpret Genesis as scientifically factual about creation vs a message about the creator?
    2. If Adam was not actually giving the creatures names, what was the significance of Adam's naming? Couldn't God have just given the names to Adam?
    3. If Genesis does not mention evangelism, how did it evolve from Genesis to how beautiful are the feet that share the good news, go and make disciple?
