1 | When was "In the Beginning" | Gen 1:1 | Hank | 17579 | ||
Steve, my friend, I fail to follow your logic, if that's what it is, that the word "hayetah" in Genesis 1:2 when translated "was" would lead you to conclude that the earth has always existed -- certainly not anymore than "became" would. Look back to Genesis 1:1 and attempt to explain your argument in the context of it. --Hank | ||||||
2 | When was "In the Beginning" | Gen 1:1 | Searcher56 | 17581 | ||
Hank, I'll try, tho CDBJ's source may do better. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Gen 1:1) ... means the earth did not exist before the beginning (nor were the heavens). Verse 2 starts, "The earth was formless and void." So does that mean it *was* formless and void before its creation or did *was* it that way when it was created. Now that you brought it up, you may be right ... but, we need to know it could be either way. My NIV has a footnote, that it could be became. I believe there was no earth before Genesis 1:1. Steve |
