521 | The "Big BAM" | Gen 1:1 | CDBJ | 76314 | ||
Hi Just Bob, welcome to the forum. I liked your post it seems we have the ability to take matter and convert it into energy but God can take His infinite power and convert it into matter. Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! Job 9:5-10 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger. 6Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. 7Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. 8Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. 9Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. 10Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

522 | Did God create Life? | Gen 1:1 | CDBJ | 161314 | ||
Hello Abccan, God didn’t create life, just like He didn’t create light and love and the list goes on; He is light and He is life. God doesn’t have life, He is life. He chose to give life to certain objects that He created that’s understandable. God also gives eternal life; do you have that yet or is that something that you are working on? Have a good day, CDBJ |

Greetings, God’s Word in its original form and language is inspired by God but there are numerous translations that have a tendency to mislead the intended meaning due to poor or incorrect translation into English. Example: Luke 21:22 (NEW LIVING TRANSLATION) For those will be days of God's vengeance, and the prophetic words of the Scriptures will be fulfilled. The Koine Greek word for God is THEOS and it isn’t even found in Luke 21:22 and there are many that believe this is a reference to the work of Satan in the later days that points to the following. Rev. 12:12 "For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time." CDBJ |

Greetings, The answer is found in the original language of the Hebrew which if I would quote it you wouldn’t understand anyway. It would be easer on both of us if you would just call and have them send you a copy of the “FREE” booklet then you can read it, and it is broken down word for word and you can see it for yourself. I found it to be quite informative and it answered numerous questions that I could never find the answers to. I had to read it “several” times before it all came together. Here is the phone number (713) 621-3740) tell them you would like to have a copy of, Creation, Chaos, and Restoration ISBN 1-55764-012-2 CDBJ |

Greetings, You might want to check out the following: Job 38:4-7 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? The angles sang for joy when God created the Earth so that puts a little different slant on the time of their creation from the way I see it. CDBJ |

Greetings Beja, The whole crux of the difference in thesis resides in the exact usage of the Hebrew word “tohu wabbohu” found in Genesis 1:2. We know that God is perfect and He doesn’t create things that are imperfect, as tohu wabbohu implies. There is a marked contrast in the Hebrew between verse one and verse two, which is not implied in the English language, the sum of which has been deeply looked into by students of the languages at Dallas Theological Seminary and brought to the forefront in the book that I suggested. It sheds light on the ”hoax” of theistic evolution and at the same time answers the question of the prehistoric forms of the past and it all ties together without contradiction. CDBJ |

531 | The GAP theory could be true. | Gen 1:2 | CDBJ | 19972 | ||
I am not saying it is right or wrong and I haven't looked up the info yet on creation research that you mentioned; all I am saying is that there is a lot of evidence that points to a span or gap or what ever you want to call it. A person can dig almost anyplace they want to on Earth and find fossils of seashells, that couldn't come about from just the great flood, so there has to be an explanation. There was some kind of a catastrophe that had to have happened to put all of that petroleum under six thousand feet of earth and it happened all around the world although the depth varies some. I believe that God did everything that He said he did in His Word. I just think we have it mixed up how we translate Gen. 1:1 and 2. It might not mean much to a lot of people, but when one is trying to talk to others about the Bible and this comes up, which it does, they have a pretty strong case that I am not smart enough to resolve with the way our English translation reads. The gap theory has always been able to shut them down for me in the past, and why couldn't it work? . I think that those that believe in theistic evolution don't have a leg to stand on and are way out of line. The concept of the gap sure makes sense and everything seems to fit with the evidence that we have. God did it all by creating something from nothing, this I know, and He doesn't have to tell us exactly how He did it, but it sure is interesting trying to figure it out, without contradicting Scripture. I try to consider all things and hold fast to that which is good; but in regard to the gap theory no one has been able to show me anything that works better in light of all the evidence. I am not a master when it comes to the Hebrew language, I will leave this up to someone else, but I do know what the evidence shows. I will consider the info you suggested and if it makes sense I will be sure to let you know. Thanks Hank, and I still feel bad about the way I responded to you on post in the past. Yours in Christ, CDBJ | ||||||
532 | The GAP theory could be true. | Gen 1:2 | CDBJ | 20031 | ||
If the pitch, i.e. petroleum, is from a catastrophe, heat and pressure from the earth pressing down, and you say that the flood was the catastrophe; how did Noah get the pitch before it happened? Petroleum doesn't form over night and come up to the surface from better then a mile down; and for starters how did it get down that far in order to turn the organic mater into pitch? How long of a time span have we from Adam to Noah? We have records of geological structures that have been around longer then that time span and there isn't six thousand feet of earth over them, and it's for sure the flood couldn't have done it. I think we better look for another catastrophe like an asteroid massive volcanoes or something, I don't know. Hence the gap! | ||||||
533 | The GAP theory could be true. | Gen 1:2 | CDBJ | 20085 | ||
Hank, I have been reading the ICR.org for several days now, as you advised. I would like to say right here and now that I love the Lord Jesus Christ and I know that He came down to Earth as the Son of God, and died, and paid the price for my sin and sins. I know that He rose up from the dead, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father, making intersession for me. I also believe, and hope very soon, that Christ will return in glory and that I will rise up to meet him in the air. At this time the Lord will transform my old sinful body into a sinless glorious body like His. From then on I will always be with Him, praising and beholding Him in His glory, forever and ever!!! I would like to state also that I don't believe in ANY form of evolution; and again I say any form. Now with all that said, basically every one of the many different articles that I read on the ICR web, that were written by (qualified conservative Christians,) base their ideas of the GAP theory, and I said theory, on the same premise. There premise is, that a loving merciful God would never be guilty of a creative process that would involve suffering and death of multitudes of innocent animals to arrive millions of years later at a point where the Earth would be ready for the creation of man. Now it is dangerous to try to cast God into our own little finite mold; can the clay say, why did you make me the way you wanted, and not the way I wanted? Also just to mention, there is a cult that says that a loving merciful God would never cast His creatures, into such a horrid place as hell; but we know this is false teaching. ICR says that death came about because of sin, and so the Scripture teaches. They further say that this is not spiritual death but physical death, so as a result, no animals died before the sin of Adam. Now if that is the case, then those qualified writers must believe in evolution and this is why. God created every thing as we have it today, no evolution, maybe minor mutations but not evolution. ICR says that there were no animal deaths before Adam sinned, why do we have snakes with poison, hawks with talons, insects with stingers, sharks with razor sharp teeth, whales that only eat plankton, lions with claws and the list goes on and on? They weren't all designed to eat grass before Adam fell! God created them that way from the start. They were eating each other, and before Adam sinned, they were designed that way; it wasn't evolution. God knew what He was doing, and we don't know why; His ways are above our ways. Some day Christ will straighten it all out when He sets up His kingdom on Earth, I don't know how, but I believe He will do it. Conclusion, ICR didn't convince me of anything yet, there are to many loose ends that don't refute the GAP theory. As for being a hacker, my golf game proves that. I don't think that my looking up has anything to do with stargazing, I would love to see Jesus return soon and we are told to look up; things down here don't look all that great right now. Yours in Christ, CDBJ |

534 | The GAP theory could be true. | Gen 1:2 | CDBJ | 20097 | ||
From your response I don't know if you understand the (gap) theory? The GAP theory has it, that that the word (was) in Genesis 1:2 is wrongly translated, that the proper translation should be, (became) which according to the experts, could be translated either way. Thus we have; Gen.1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. I.e. He created it perfect, but then Gen. 1:2 And the earth became without form and void; (something happened, supposedly the fall of Lucifer) so that there was ciaos on the earth; so God put an ice pack over it. This would cover the period of the dinosaurs and all the lust vegetation. Thus pointing out that God in His foreknowledge of man and what he would need on the earth, would be provided out of the goodness of God. In short there is a Gap of undisclosed time that was used of God to prepare the earth for man. The formation of gas, coal, petroleum and so on, because God knew we would need it. This was the point that I was trying to make when in my original post, I suggested that it was in this gap period that over a mile of earth had time to accumulate over and compress all of the organic mater to form the petroleum or pitch used by Noah etc. There are some that say that God couldn't be that cruel to His animal creation; therefore it must be a hoax: My answer to them is, read the book of Revelation and see what happens to the animals, when God pours out His wrath on the Earth. God knows exactly what He is doing and why and the Gap theory is a possibility with out distorting Scripture or doubting any of the creation of God in seven days. If you would be interested there is a free booklet by R.B. Thieme Jr. called, CREATION, CHAOS, RESTORATION look at www.rbthieme.org for more info. | ||||||

Jenson, I would like to point out that I think everything that God does is good, even Lucifer was good at one point. Now as for science, the pitch and coal are still organic, no mater how you slice it, that means they were alive at one time. Did God kill them to make the pitch? The Bible is correct, in the original, and was inspired by God; but we don't know the meaning for sure of the word that we translated (was), it could be translated became; the Jews use the Hebrew word both ways!! And as for saving time, I don't study to save time, I study to show myself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the WORD OF TRUTH. Please just don't tell me there are gaps, point them out if you would please and If I might add, don't use your interpretation of Genesis 1:2 to prove your point; that's the problem! You are right, I am no scientist; is that the prerequisite now for loving God and trying to understand His word. As for winning souls to Christ, I didn't realize that the first two verses of Genesis were part of the Gospel, but then again I am still learning. I don't mean for my post to upset people, but it seems like that is what has happened. I should just drop it because it doesn't make any difference anyway and I don't want to cause anyone to stumble. Thanks for your comments! Till we all meet with the Lord, CDBJ | ||||||

Dear Jensen, I can see from your response that you are getting so frustrated that you are starting to add thing to what I stated originally, in order to prove your point. This was often used in the forums in Athens many years ago, and is known as a debater's technique. One would add to a particular postulate, something that both parties knew as factual, i.e. with out a shadow of doubt and both debaters agree to it; now since the agreed on facts have been added to the original thesis, then the antithesis to the first primes must be true. This was only done when the second party was coming to the point of frustration. I don't care if you knew of this technique or not the result are the same and I won't be a party to it. This discussion on thy doctrine of ((creation)) has gone far enough!! It is getting out of hand and I refuse to go any further because of the issues that were brought up, that have nothing to do with my original comment. In love, CDBJ |

537 | Is Genesis 1:2 the fall of satan? | Gen 1:2 | CDBJ | 174874 | ||
Greetings Vine, Regardless of when, how, or from where; what do you assume the present position and function of Satan is? As for the "in love” part, that depends on the individual, humanly speaking. When some people mention the word “love”, one would be better off running in the opposite direction as fast as they can! Man’s love is dependent on circumstances and situations. When someone tells me that they are doing something in “love”, I think to myself; Oh boy, here comes the zinger! Have a great day, CDBJ |

538 | Son or son? Holy Spirit or holy spirit? | Gen 1:26 | CDBJ | 65444 | ||
Hello zero theory, I am a late comer to this thread but I might have something that will help you to understand the Trinity, check it out. The Great Three In One For sake of clarification lets say that God, as we know him, has certain characteristics, not all are listed, but these ten are listed for simple clarity; again, this is not a complete list but it's sufficient for the brief explanation. God is sovereignty, righteousness, justice, love, eternal life, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, immutability, and veracity. God is one in unity with all of these characteristics just mentioned. Whoever has All of these attributes is in fact God. It so happens that there are three separate personalities in existence, that have All of these attributes and for sake of accommodation, they are referred to in the Bible as, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. They have existed Together forever in eternity past and they will continue on forever into eternity future; the three personalities had no beginning, they always were and always will be. Anyone exhibiting All of the listed traits mentioned is God, it so happens that there are only three personalities in existence that posses (All) of these attributes. God is ONE IN ESSENCE but THREE IN PERSONALITIES. God decided in eternity past that one of the personalities, the one we call the Son, would take on the form of a man and be born into the human race, his name as a human, would be Jesus. When God the second person took on the form of a man it is referred to as the hypostatic union. (i.e.) Jesus is a one-of-a-kind being, 100 percent God and 100 percent man; he was the God man. He is different from the other two members of the God Head in that he is a man. He is different from mankind in that he is God. Even though Jesus was walking around on this Earth as a man, he was at the same time holding the Universe together by the power of his might as God. God didn't see fit to reveal everything to the humanity of Jesus at the time of his first coming; an example of this would be the exact day and hour when Christ would return to the Earth to be glorified in his saints at his second coming. (PAROUSIA) I hope this will settle a lot of the confusion about what is called the Trinity, which is not a word that is actually used in the Bible, but it is a term that has been coined to cover a fact of doctrine. Every technical subject uses a technical language. This helped me, CDBJ |

Friend you are pushing your privilege mighty close to the edge with your persistent bias I would strongly suggest that you back off of the subject and try another. You must abide by the following rules in connection with your use of the Forums: Limit content that contains known denominational biases that produce potential strife and undue conflict. Do not push your denominational bias or engage in debates. OK you win, now let it go, CDBJ |

Hi Makarios, Not that it makes any difference, the effects are still the same, but didn't Moses live to be 120 years old? Deut. 34:7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. CDBJ |
