1 | When was "In the Beginning" | Gen 1:1 | Hank | 17523 | ||
Shiner, the best answer to your question is, No one really knows. "In the beginning" refers, of course, to the time when God created the heavens and the earth. We call it the universe. Theories abound, both secular and theological, regarding the age of the universe. The scientific community tends to lean to guesses that are measured in millions of years while many conservative Christian thinkers place the age in thousands of years. The fact remains that no one knows; it is one of many secrets that God chose not to reveal to us in His word. The Bible is very plain about who did the creating; it is silent on the when. --Hank | ||||||
2 | When was "In the Beginning" | Gen 1:1 | Shiner | 17627 | ||
Hank may thanks for your courageous reply. I believe you are right and know this in my heart, but have many non Christian friends that have asked the question and I wasn't sure how to answer. It is not enough to just say because I KNOW. They want facts. You have confirmed what I already know.So again thank you and God bless, Shiner | ||||||
3 | When was "In the Beginning" | Gen 1:1 | Hank | 17634 | ||
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 | ||||||
