Bible Note: 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 |
