Subject: When was "In the Beginning" |
Bible Note: Shiner, I believe that if I should have friends such as those of yours whom you describe as insisting on having "facts" regarding when "in the beginning" was, I'd say to them something like this: "Look, friends, I have no facts. No one has any facts. God alone has the facts and He's not telling. Now when He revises His word (don't hold your breath) and reveals the facts, I'll be sure to bring you a copy of the New Word of God. But until then, "in the beginning" happened in the beginning." ..... I believe, Shiner, that this answer makes at least as much sense as their question, don't you? --Hank |
