Bible Question:
Can someone tell me about the three earth ages or where I might find that information in the Bible? Thank you so very much and God bless. Toni |
Bible Answer: TxRedBelle: I am not completly sure what you are asking for so I will give you several things that come to this gray matter in my head. We know God Created the earth. I do not accept eveloution so that will allow for some dispute by our monkey origin fans. Most Bible schollars will say the earth is somewhere between 10,000 to 6,000 years old. Personally I am not sure as I was not there at the time. Although I have been told I look as old as dirt. So when you speak of ages, I would say the next age would be the age of man? In Genesis it says man was created on the sixth day. Both male and female flesh were created that day. Call me old fashoned but I honest believe the days of creation were 24 hour days. Now I would like to stress the how importand it is to view these days as literal 24 hour days. Now Toni, if you do not view creation as the book of Genesis says then it will determine how you will understand the rest of the Bible. Besides quite honestly I do not have enough faith to believe in eveloution! Think of a one cell blob changing over millions of years to something just a little more complex? Now just yhink how complex male and female most simple thing is. How did these cells arrange in such a magic way so they could reproduce. Now look how very complex men and women are and how unbelievable it is to have ababy! Wow! We have had four children and I am still amazed. The next age would be perhaps when sin entered mankind. Then removal from the Garden of Eden. I would say after Cain killed Able would be cansidered an age. The next big age would be the flooding of the Eart, and the canopy being destroyed and the earth and mankind was forever changed. Then there many more ages. Some would call these ages dispensations, which I agree with. May I suggest a book called THE GENESIS RECORD by Morris. Any Christian book store could order it or a large book store might have it in stock. Well toni I hope this has helped a little bit. You can ask the question again if I did not answer as you wanted.
