“The second set indicates that Adam came first, then God formed the animals and brought them to Adam for naming.”

An incorrect reading...the second verse mentions AGAIN that God had created the animals and sought help mates for Adam, so he gave to Adam the animals...but Adam did not find fellowship with the animals, and so God created Eve.

The verses in Isiah and Deut are not speaking of the same thing. Isaiah is speaking of the subsequent generation not possessing the promised land due to the sins of the fathers...the slaughter spoken of here was their defeats at the hands of their enemies. Sin does have a ripple effect....the children of Germany did not take part in what the Nazi’s did, but ALL Germans paid a price (Not the best example...just top of my head).

The second verse you offer deals with the ultimate truth that each individual will be judged and punished according to their OWN sin...so one was prophecy informing that due to the sins of the fathers, the next generation would not be allowed to posses the land, etc.

The second informed that EACH is accountable for their own sins and will be judged accordingly.

But speaking of Isaiah, this book contains more than 80 specific prophecies concerning Christ...his birth, his life, even the method of execution between two criminals ( a method of execution that was unknown at the time of the writing of the book). Mathematicians inform that the odds of this many specific detail hundreds of years prior and incalculable.

Ok..498 please.

Thank you for posting clarifications of those seeming "contradictory" scriptures.
I'm always impressed by those who really know the Bible.
Good job.

I don’t have time to argue with you, nor do I have time to search out endless “context” for everything I read.

I just know how to comprehend what I do read, on a literal level.
