AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty (subtle, skilled in deceit) than any living creature of the field which the LORD God had made. And the serpent (Satan) said to the woman, "Can it really be that God has said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" [Rev 12:9-11] |
Bible Question (short): Scriptural support? |
Question (full): Thanks for you answer, Steve, Two Points: 1) According to your view there was a creation before the creation. As such the pronouncement of good of Gen 1:31 applies to this creation not the one supposedly before this one. Therefore what scriptural support do you have for saying that all the heavenly host were created morally good? 2) "Good" does not necessarily mean morally good. When God pronounced the first day's creation of light "good," he didn't mean that it was morally good. It was good in that it was exactly the way he wanted it and he was pleased with it. So "good" in Gen 1:31 is not moral. Peace, Lionstrong |
