Subject: How old is the earth scripturally? |
Bible Note: DARWINISM? We do not know much about Darwinism. They say that there was one Darwin. He "found out" that many millions of years ago a monkey by chance became a man and from that man the human race came into existence. After that neither any monkey got the chance to become a man nor any man got the chance to become a monkey. The Word of God simply mentions about sun, moon and the stars. But all that is revealed is about man in relation to the Earth only. Man was created in Gen.1: 26 – 28, to fill the earth, subdue the earth and have dominion over the earth. The whole Bible is about how this was ultimately achieved in Rev.20: 1-6. WATERS brought about the death of all flesh in the days of Noah. Also in baptism when we go down into the water we signify our identification with the death and burial of our dear Lord Jesus Christ and we testify that our old man is dead and buried. Before the 6days in Gen.1 we see that the Spirit of God fluttered over the waters, but after the 6days God RESTED for a day. When we study particular words or sentences, we may not understand their full meaning. We have to see the context and also compare with other sections of the whole Scriptures. (1Cor.2) Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also has made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life. (2Cor.3: 5,6) |
