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: Is Genesis 1:2 the fall of satan? |
Bible Note: Appleseed - In your response to Doc, Post 143825, appear these words, "The earth until now is 6000 years. We also know that from Gen. 1:3 until today is approx. 6000 (give or take 50 years) but it is not true to say from Gen. 1:1 to today is 6000 years." ...... Now how do you KNOW all this? Scripture doesn't say how old the earth is and it doesn't say a word about any time lapse between Genesis 1:1 and 1:3. And science certainly doesn't KNOW how old the earth is, though scientists over the years have proposed more theories about it than a dog has fleas. So how is it that you know? The truth is you don't. You have no facts with which to back your assertions. ..... My dear Appleseed, let's look at what this web site is and what it is not. It IS a Bible study forum. It IS NOT a place to air groundless theories while misrepresenting them to be scriptural truth. It IS NOT a site designed by the Lockman Foundation to pander to the self-aggrandizement of every soap-boxing whiz kid on the internet who wishes to promote his pet theory or play guessing games or speculate to his heart's content on any subject on earth or heaven. ..... So do please note and take counsel of the clause in this Forum's guidelines to which you agree whenever you enter a post: "This post is biblically based..." --Hank |
