post some of those well-known Genesis passages in the more literal
interlinear format that can be fun reading for "bible astronomers"
of any curious persuasion (or lack thereof), e.g. Genesis 2:21-25:


It's not a good idea to post things like that without a context and
teaching given. It's off-putting to non-Christians as they look at it
as a wall of confusion.

Christians are called to be teachers in this world. We're called to
move forward daily in all the things we do teaching those around us
as the various circumstances arise.

To post walls of scripture, especially in a language and translations
that are no common, difficult to understand, does damage to the body of
Christ. That may well be your intent, but it's not something you
should be doing if it isn't.

The gospel message requires a learning curve. People see no reason to
think they need Jesus until someone explains to them the nature of our
universe, to undo all of the teaching they've learned in school and in
all of the other contrary places. And even then, most people won't
receive it at all because they believe what they've heard elsewhere,
and they believe the negative things they've thought and heard about
"religion." They won't come to the place of recognizing they have sin
because the enemy of God, of us, of this world, of everything, has put
in a great deal of effort teaching them "religion" is something to be
avoided.

All you can do is have a sincere heart and teach, and not post the
scripture like you have done because it's off-putting to people without
context.
