1 | In the beginning | Gen 1:1 | HOTH | 221724 | ||
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 |

2 | In the beginning | Gen 1:1 | CDBJ | 221725 | ||
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 |
