Bible Question: I am taking a class in the Old Testament. One of the questions we have to answer is What possible gap is there between Gensis 1:1 and 1:2. I do not know. Thanks for your help If possible, please send response to my email also. Sandie58@yahoo.com |
Bible Answer: I tend not to believe in the gap theory. Why? #1. God called His COMPLETED creation "very good" in Gen. 1:31 which would not be true if evil had entered the universe at that time. #2. Death came by Adam (1 cor. 15.21), so destruction and death could not have occurred previous to Adam' fall into sin. |
