Yes, along with millions of other Dispensationalists I believe the sacrifices at the reinstated Feast of Tabernacles, and probably other sacrificial feasts is a memorial to Christ in what He achieved for us on the Cross. As far as I know this will last for 1000 years and will end with the...

@SovereignGrace Ok, here it is, but remember these are not facts, they are the foundation of the Gap Theory. We can all breathe easy knowing it's only a theory. In Gen. 1:1 it is believed that God created the earth and heaven, the heaven with the stars, sun, ect. millions of years ago and...

All of it's shaky ground any way you go. That's the fun in digging in it, or in my case used to dig in it. You're sounding like a Calvinist, stop that, lol, and let's look at it tomorrow.

Right now ol' Charlie needs to lay his down for a while.

Well let's not wave the red flag just yet. I'll give you something to think about tomorrow when I have time to get in it and refresh my memory. Like I said, it's been a long time since I've been over and studied the creation.

It's been a very long time since I've covered anything on the creation.

There are several interesting points in Gen. 1 that support the Gap Theory. There is also a recap of the creation that's very interesting, but I can't remember all of it now. I'll have to take some time tomorrow to find all of it and point it out.

It was my understanding that the early technology in science began the consideration of the Gap Theory. I don't know, but the Gap Theory and science work together once you get into it.

I knew absolutely nothing about science and of all sources I learned a lot from the Atheists back when I used fight with them years ago. They know nothing of the Lord but they know their science.

There are some variations in the Gap Theory, do you see it similar as I explained or a different way?

As far as science I believe they are accurate to a point, I have no way of confirming they are, but they have discovered some very amazing things most believe to be true.

Well, we're all guessing here. The Gap Theory says that between Gen. 1:1/1:2 the rebellion of Satan took place. We can read about Satan's fall in Isiah and Ezekiel but we don't know when it happened, supposedly in the dateless past, but we know Satan had fallen by the time Adam was created...

How would you explain the scientific results of prehistoric remains dating back 100's of thousands of years, some estimated in the millions. Personally I believe they are in the ballpark.

I lean toward the Gap Theory. Something happened between Gen. 1:1 and 1:2, I believe. When God created the heaven and the earth in 1:1, something caused it to become "without form, and void and darkness. I believe in 1:1 everything was created and what we are reading in the creation is a...

Sounds like someone I know an agree with. I used to be the same way, just ask Ky. LOL, I remember K replying with something like, "all that comes out of that claptrap is Calvinism."

Yes, predestiation is Biblical. I have given my version of it many times on BB. Well, I didn't come up with it, it's the work of many scholars.

How they can be so Biblically sound, but yet see the God of the Bible in way they do in their version of predestination is just unbelievable. It's one of the few arguments where I have to watch myself, I can go over the edge.

Very well said, Ben! I would be lying if I didn't admit I have much in common with the Calvinists, the hard core fundamentalism is alive and well. I just wish we didn't have predestination standing between us.

It's kinda like Cathode was saying about the Protestants being separated Brothers. I can't think of a better example of that than my IFB Church and that Calvinists. I guess the reason why that when I get started on it I pick up the big hammer.

Believe it or not, and this could be taken the wrong way by some, but I feel close to the Calvinist in the stand for what you have posted. And you're exactly right, we part ways at salvation. That's a shame, the IFB came from the same 'ol stump grounded in the fundamentals.
