1 | The GAP theory could be true. | Gen 1:2 | Lionstrong | 20022 | ||
Dear CDBJ, To say that God created animals (marine organisms) before creating light on the first day till creating man on the sixth is to deny that God created all thing in the earth and sea in the space of six days. Ex 20 11 Therefore, the gap theory IS impossible. Peace, Lionstrong |

2 | The GAP theory could be true. | Gen 1:2 | CDBJ | 20097 | ||
From your response I don't know if you understand the (gap) theory? The GAP theory has it, that that the word (was) in Genesis 1:2 is wrongly translated, that the proper translation should be, (became) which according to the experts, could be translated either way. Thus we have; Gen.1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. I.e. He created it perfect, but then Gen. 1:2 And the earth became without form and void; (something happened, supposedly the fall of Lucifer) so that there was ciaos on the earth; so God put an ice pack over it. This would cover the period of the dinosaurs and all the lust vegetation. Thus pointing out that God in His foreknowledge of man and what he would need on the earth, would be provided out of the goodness of God. In short there is a Gap of undisclosed time that was used of God to prepare the earth for man. The formation of gas, coal, petroleum and so on, because God knew we would need it. This was the point that I was trying to make when in my original post, I suggested that it was in this gap period that over a mile of earth had time to accumulate over and compress all of the organic mater to form the petroleum or pitch used by Noah etc. There are some that say that God couldn't be that cruel to His animal creation; therefore it must be a hoax: My answer to them is, read the book of Revelation and see what happens to the animals, when God pours out His wrath on the Earth. God knows exactly what He is doing and why and the Gap theory is a possibility with out distorting Scripture or doubting any of the creation of God in seven days. If you would be interested there is a free booklet by R.B. Thieme Jr. called, CREATION, CHAOS, RESTORATION look at www.rbthieme.org for more info. | ||||||
3 | The GAP theory could be true. | Gen 1:2 | Lionstrong | 20108 | ||
Dear CDBJ, The surest method of understanding Scripture is to compare Scripture with Scripture, because the authoritative interpreter of Scripture is Scripture. Therefore to determine if the verb in Gen. 1:2 is "was" or "became" look at what the Scripture says about creation. What Scripture says is that God created EVERYTHING in the space of six days. Ex. 20:11 Therefore the verb is "was" not "became." Thanks for you detailed explanation of the gap theory, CDBJ, but it is not possible. Peace, Lionstrong |
