Scientific Facts in Genesis

OK, that is what you honestly believe you are doing. But there is a disconnect between your understanding and the understanding other believers, such as myself.

It's the difference you would have between yourself and someone who lived more than 3k years ago. The traditional view can be understood ONLY by faith that God's Holy Word is the Truth, which is the way it has to be in order to become a Christian. God hid His scientific Truth in Genesis for the last generation to find and it's now found. It's proof of God since only God knew these truths so long ago. Faith become real, empirical, testable. Your Faith in the Truth of God's Holy Word is Fact. It has to be since the Spirit of Truth is the Author. God Bless you

Genesis is history & teaches that Adam was made on the 6th day. You are gnostic or something as you contradict Genesis a la Darwin.

You have the interpretation of pre-flood earth being Adam's earth, and the post flood earth being our earth now. In a sense this is true. But you seem to be arguing more than just this. Your Genesis 1:28-31 argument is "off the wall."

Second Peter 3:3-7 tells us that the "Scoffers" of the last days will be "willingly ignorant" that the world (Greek-Kosmos) that "THEN WAS" being overflowed with water perished, which in Greek means destroyed, totally and utterly. Verse 7 speaks of the heavens and earth "WHICH ARE NOW" being reserved unto fire.

Genesis 1:28-31 tells of FUTURE events which happen at the end of the present 6th Day/Age. At NO time in history has mankind (Adam) had dominion over mosquitoes, viruses or Angels. The events of the last days are detailed in Genesis 1:28-31. Changing ALL living creatures into vegetarians can be accomplished ONLY by their Creator, who will rule and reign on Earth for a thousand years.

False, UNLESS you can tell us HOW to change a Lion into a creature who eats Hay like the Ox.

Isa 11:7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

Give up now and realize the limits of your understanding.

False. Genesis chapter One is the entire story of the creation of the perfect Heaven, including events which are FUTURE to 2020. We live today at Genesis 1:27 because God is STILL working today, creating New Creatures in Christ. Genesis 1:26 Genesis 5:1-2 and John 14:16 We will remain at verse 27 until Jesus returns since God will NOT rest (Cease to Create) until His Creation is brought to perfection when the last sinner to be saved, is saved. He wouldn't be God if He did.

Would you say that you are a gnostic?

Are you nuts? Do you have secret knowledge?

If you compare the accumulated knowledge of the last 3,,000 years, I, and almost everyone else here has knowledge which was "secret" or hidden from ancient men. Some here remain trapped in their own minds to the theology of ancient superstitious men whose Religion failed.

When he seems to contradict what the text says, that is one thing. But what explicitly did he contradict in this thread? The third day God placed plant life on the earth. In the Garden after God made Adam, Genesis 2:7, God places plants in the Garden, Genesis 2:8. It could be interpreted God made Adam on the third day and then created plant life. There is nothing in the text to disallow this notion. I have long interpreted the events in the Garden all took place on the 6th day.

Plants weren't created in the sixth day. Cultivated gardens "plants of the field" were introduced.

That's because we're reading more recent revelation. Curious if you'd care to share where you worship? Not the physical address, but the denomination, or branch of Christianity?

1. Genesis 1:21 says that "every living creature that moveth" appeared in water on the 5th Day.
Recent scientific discoveries confirm the same.

False. Just because God made little creatures resilient and able withstand harsh conditions does not mean that sea life evolved from them. Trying to use that as agreeing with the bible is despicable.

Because he is lost and without Christ

He is of his father the devil, delighting in mocking the true God, and attempting to lead others astray. Having no fear of God, and aligning himself w all unrighteousness

Unfortunately, he has no idea how serious his apostasy is for himself and others

That person is heterodox or maybe gnostic.
I would say an ultra hyper Amillennial. To spiritualize even the 6 literal days of creation as the only true time on earth. The last 6000 years are all spiritualized into 24 hours. There have been no literal 1000 year periods, period. The last 6000 years have been a spiritual dream.

That seems to be what he is saying; thanks to amil thought conditioning. He in no wise stated that the days in Genesis 1 are representative of 6 literal 1000 year periods. The last 6000 years only happened on day 6. He did not even quantify day six as lasting 6000 years. He certainly spiritualized day six as being the time of man's "perfecting". Turning amil "thought" into an evolutionary process.
