Bible Question: How much time, if any, elapsed between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:3? |
Bible Answer: Hello Apostle: The Genesis accounts of creation are written in the form of songs, poetry, ballads ... and certainly not to be mistaken for technical thesis'. The "Old-Earth" and the "Young-Earth" factions have strewn mine-fields for the unwary. These passages have, more often than not, been wielded as weapons to demolish the opposition viewpoints. This ongoing conflict certainly does not edify new believers. View these passages as the word of Elohim, but often twisted to suit personal agendas. |
