AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 1:2 The earth was formless and void or a waste and emptiness, and darkness was upon the face of the deep [primeval ocean that covered the unformed earth]. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters. |
Subject: The GAP theory could be true. |
Bible Note: Jenson, I would like to point out that I think everything that God does is good, even Lucifer was good at one point. Now as for science, the pitch and coal are still organic, no mater how you slice it, that means they were alive at one time. Did God kill them to make the pitch? The Bible is correct, in the original, and was inspired by God; but we don't know the meaning for sure of the word that we translated (was), it could be translated became; the Jews use the Hebrew word both ways!! And as for saving time, I don't study to save time, I study to show myself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the WORD OF TRUTH. Please just don't tell me there are gaps, point them out if you would please and If I might add, don't use your interpretation of Genesis 1:2 to prove your point; that's the problem! You are right, I am no scientist; is that the prerequisite now for loving God and trying to understand His word. As for winning souls to Christ, I didn't realize that the first two verses of Genesis were part of the Gospel, but then again I am still learning. I don't mean for my post to upset people, but it seems like that is what has happened. I should just drop it because it doesn't make any difference anyway and I don't want to cause anyone to stumble. Thanks for your comments! Till we all meet with the Lord, CDBJ |
