Bible Question:
Does the Inspiration of the Bible Extend to every part? If your answer is yes What happen between Gen.1:1 and Gen.1:2. If your answer is no Matt. 5:17-18 |
Bible Answer: moedee, First we must realize that in the original there were no verse divisions between verse one and two. It is possible to see the two verses as God creating all matter(the Cosmos) from nothing and then beginning to form it into more specific identifiable forms. Like a potter creating a lump of clay out of nothing, then beggining to fashion it into various objects, to use a poetic formula similar to one seen in Jeremiah.Genesis is a poetic description of creation. When poetry describes a truth it does so in a very different way from a techinal manual decribing the same truth. Emmaus |
