Bible Question:
hey guys, I'm new to the forum, I found it because I am confused about the differnt interpretatios of Genesis 1-1-2. was there, or was there not a gap between the two verses? I am reading a book called the invisble war, and it alledges that the fall occured in between that period of time...and that the 6day creation was a restoration..?? I'm veery puzzled ..if anyone could offer biblical insight, that'd be great! |
Bible Answer: Hello Me; I agree with Hank. The ICR web site has a great deal of information that will shed light on this subject. Although I would like to share something here about the Gen 1:1. Consider the background of the book. although some may disagree but I do believe that Moses was the author. He was leading Israel out from a nation that worshipped idols into a land where the people worshipped idols so it is not surprising that the first sentance of this book is that God created the heavens and the Earth. Not Ra or Molech, or Baal or any of the other false gods. It was their God. Elohim. this first sentance is a statement of fact not a record of earth history. |
