Hi satnj, There is evidence of at least one catastrophe of some kind before man came on the seen. But what good is that info? How will that help us to know God? If He wanted us to know that, for sure, He would have told us. This is what He does tell us. the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. Then God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. Then God said, "Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear"; and it was so. God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good. Then God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them"; and it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a third day. Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so. God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day. Then God said, "Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens." God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good. God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind"; and it was so. God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good. Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth." Then God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food"; and it was so. God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. God bless. John |

2203 | Days between the cross and empty tomb | Luke 23:43 | stjohn | 186555 | ||
Hello Rholliday, Warm welcome! Yes it is confusing, or it can be. Look at this please, I think it might just clear some of the confusion. (Paradise) you see, is a pretty generic term that means way more then one thing. Web Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1) - Cite This Source par·a·dise –noun 1. heaven, as the final abode of the righteous. 2. an intermediate place for the departed souls of the righteous awaiting resurrection. 3. (often initial capital letter) Eden (def. 1). 4. a place of extreme beauty, delight, or happiness. 5. a state of supreme happiness; bliss. American Heritage Dictionary - Cite This Source par·a·dise n. 1 often Paradise The Garden of Eden. 2 Christianity a The abode of righteous souls after death; heaven. b An intermediate resting place for righteous souls awaiting the Resurrection. 3 A place of ideal beauty or loveliness. 4 A state of delight. Word History: The history of paradise is an extreme example of amelioration, the process by which a word comes to refer to something better than what it used to refer to. The old Iranian language Avestan had a noun pairida?za-, "a wall enclosing a garden or orchard," which is composed of pairi-, "around," and da?za- "wall." The adverb and preposition pairi is related to the equivalent Greek form peri, as in perimeter. Da?za- comes from the Indo-European root *dheigh-, "to mold, form, shape." Zoroastrian religion encouraged maintaining arbors, orchards, and gardens, and even the kings of austere Sparta were edified by seeing the Great King of Persia planting and maintaining his own trees in his own garden. Xenophon, a Greek mercenary soldier who spent some time in the Persian army and later wrote histories, recorded the pairida?za- surrounding the orchard as paradeisos, using it not to refer to the wall itself but to the huge parks that Persian nobles loved to build and hunt in. This Greek word was used in the Septuagint translation of Genesis to refer to the Garden of Eden, whence Old English eventually borrowed it around 1200. I hope this helps. God bless. John |

2207 | Do we need to attend a church? | Acts 9:31 | stjohn | 186526 | ||
Hi mouse Welcome! just my opinion, but its not really a commandment, altho I think we should attend church, the Bible says not to forsake fellowship. I don't know if that means going to a church (building) to worship and study. but I think its a good idea. Its real hard to learn and grow as a Christian without that kind of support. I hope that helps. God bless John |

2217 | jesus spoke to dead | 1 Pet 1:1 | stjohn | 186485 | ||

2218 | jesus spoke to dead | 1 Pet 1:1 | stjohn | 186484 | ||
Hi dyoung, Thought I better go through that a little more carefully, as these verses can be a little confusing. lets look at what Peter is really saying. "He went and made proclamation to the spirits (now) in prison" ok, when are they in prison? (Now) and now is the time that Peter is writing this epistle. ok, "who once were disobedient" ok when were they disobedient? " when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark," "in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water." I hope this helps. God bless John |
||||||
2219 | jesus spoke to dead | 1 Pet 1:1 | stjohn | 186482 | ||
Hi dyoung, A little follow up, it does (appear) that the Spirit of God is doing the preaching, But it is God's Spirt speaking through Noah. God bless John |
||||||
2220 | jesus spoke to dead | 1 Pet 1:1 | stjohn | 186480 | ||
Hi Dyoung That is in 1 Peter 1 Pet 3:15-20 but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence; and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame. For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong. For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; (in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water.) Noah, according to 1Peter, must have been preaching the Gospel of salvation wile he was building the ark. This has nothing to do with Jesus preaching to the dead, that is a false teaching! the HE Peter is talking about is Noah. God bless John |
