GAP: Theory or Fact

The Bible says nothing of a re-creation. It says the world and all therein were created in 7 days. To say it was re-created would be questioning God's Word.

It says "RE-plenish." All attempts to retranslate my KJV will be ignored. It has more than proven itself worthy.

Hmmm... KJVOs battling it out over the word replenish....


This is going to get interesting...

Isa 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

This says create also.
 
Let's see now, since Isaiah wrote that verse circa 690 BC, and Abraham was told to Isaac circa 1872, the new heaven and earth created must have been some time after Abraham and Isaac. That would put it many more years after the creation account in Genesis.

God did say in Isaiah, "I create,' did He not? He did not say created (past tense), but create (present tense). Yep, just checked.

I submit to you that your gap theory is so full of holes it is like a sunken ship...

That boat don't float.

1. I'm not a KJVO or any other Onlyist. What I'm advocating, along with many others, is to take proper scholarship into consideration.

2. Here's the question, maybe you might be able to answer it, Why did the KJV translate Hebrew verb male "fill" in Genesis 1:22 but "replenish" in v. 28?

Funny, the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. Yet, in your minds, there is a former earth before this one. Which further proves the gap theory is nothing more than theory.

The supposed past earth has entered your minds, and the Bible says that the former will not come into mind.

More holes in the gap theory.

Who inhabited this "previous earth" men or angles?

What is the context of replenish in Genesis 1:28 and what words in that verse indicate such?
 
It is interesting that the Geneva Bible (1599) translated the word 'male' (maw-lay) as fill in Genesis 1:28

Wycliffe (1388) also uses the word 'fille' in this verse.
