1 | In the beginning | Gen 1:1 | CDBJ | 221711 | ||
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 |

The publication "Creation, Chaos, and Restoration" should be looked at with a great deal of discretion, because I have found this teaching of the 'Gap' theory to undermine the Word of God.. Angels definitely are created beings, and are part of the universe that God created. Ezra tells us, "You are the Lord, you alone; you have made heaven, the heaven of heaven, with all their host.....and the host of heaven worships you." (Neh 9:6; cf Psa148:2,5). Paul includes the angels among that which was created through Christ and for him: Visible and invisible whether thrones or dominions or principalities and authorities (Col 1:16) But the GAP theory teaches that the angels were upon earth prior to the human race, and left behind a damaged environment which needed to be restored. This is reading into scripture ideas of man that deny the accuracy of, or are simply not supported in God's Word. Such as Gen 1:31 when God saw everything He had made, and said it was very good. What this means is that even the angelic world that had been created did not have evil angels or demons in it at that time. Therefore sometime between the events of Gen 1:31 and 3:1 there must have been a type of rebellion with angels that turned against God and became evil. Then came Eve's deception in the Garden, through the serpent who was undermining God's Word, as he said. "hath God really said....?" Please do not fall into the clutches of this same deceptive practice which can only come from the enemy. In Him, keliy |

Hi Keliy, That is good advice, I try to use a good deal of discretion with everything I read and search the scriptures to see if it is true or not. I think you are reading into Genesis 1:31 a meaning that is not there. God is making a reference to all of his creation that he completed in 6 days. You will notice that God had been making this observation earlier, verses 4, 10, 12, 18, 21, and 25. If God truly did create the angels during this six days, why is it not mentioned? Ex 20:11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. God made the “heavens and the earth” in six days. Notice the definition of heavens in Gen 1: 8 as the expanse between the waters upon the earth and the water in the atmosphere. Now note the definition of earth in Gen 1:10, which is the dry land. Now notice that Ex 20:11 goes on to mention the sea, further showing the context. He also created all that was in them, the light, the vegetation, animals, fish, mammals, and birds. All those things which he had made were good. No mention of angels here. This verse is not speaking of the planet earth and the universe, but the dry land, the seas, the atmosphere, vegetation, animals, etc. For your consideration, Hoth |

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 |

Thanks CDBJ 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? I also pointed out this passage in my previous post. Doc wrote this in his post, “If we start with what God reveals in His word, we can arrive at reasonable conclusions. If we make His word servant to our reason, we arrive at silly conclusions. Like a few that I have read from the author of this thread.” Now, it would seem a reasonable conclusion that angels existed prior to the creation of the earth. Since the Word was in the beginning and everything was created by him, then “in the beginning” is the time prior to the six days of creation. Hoth |
