Re: Local flood and local fire?

Another indicator in the text that the presence of an evening (end) and morning (beginning) does not imply 24 hours is the absence of an evening and a morning in day 7. What does the absence of an evening and morning for day 7 tell us? How long was day 7, since it had no evening and morning (Hebrew...

Re: Local flood and local fire?

And yet, the Genesis 2 account is NOT the same, is it? The Creation of Man and Woman 4 These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. 5 When no bush of the field[a] was yet in the land and no small plant of...

Re: Local flood and local fire?

So, according to your interpretation, each day is the same as we know a day today, the earth rotates on its axis, and in relation to the sun, each place on the earth has daylight and darkness. Tell me then, according to your interpretation, when was the sun created, before or after this point in Ge...

Re: Local flood and local fire?

*shakes head* Where does it say that Adam was created on the sixth day in Genesis 2? It is found in Genesis 1, verses 26 and 27: Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the lives...

Re: Local flood and local fire?

You are presuming that we know how long a day/yom within the context of the Genesis 1 creation account is. Which brings me to one of my favorite questions? How long is the day/yom in Genesis 2:4? The word day can have many meanings and it is the context of each usage that shows which meaning is int...

Re: Local flood and local fire?

PaulSacramento wrote:Even if it refers to Adam total age, from his creation to death, there is no time line IN the Garden or WHEN the garden was made so how does one calculate the age of the world from Adam's?
Adam was created on the sixth day. Just add five days to Adam's age and you have the age of the earth.

Re: Local flood and local fire?

Where in the bible doe sit say that the flood took place 1636 after creation? Where is that number? How many years were Adam and Eve in the Garden in Eden? Chapter 5 of Genesis gives the genealogy from Adam to Noah. It tells how long each person lived and at what age he became the father of the nex...

Re: Local flood and local fire?

And nowhere in Scripture does God say that the flood covered the whole planet. In Genesis 6:13 God said, "I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth." A flood could not do this unless it cov...

Re: Local flood and local fire?

The purpose of the flood was to destroy all human life except for Noah and his family. The flood took place 1636 years after creation. It is unlikely that the entire human race lived in Mesopotamia. There had been plenty of time for them to spread out over the entire earth. Perhaps the writers of th...

Re: Local flood and local fire?

However, when Peter refers to 'the world at that time' he is not referring to the whole planet. He is referring to the known world at the time of the flood, which when you look at the geographical context of Genesis 1-6 centers on the region of Mesopotamia. The whole world existed, whether or not t...

Local flood and local fire?

Genesis 6-9 tells the story of Noah. Mankind had grown so evil that God decided to send a flood to destroy them. Noah and his family were the only righteous people left in the world so God told him to build an ark to save his family and to take into the ark one pair of each kind of animal to save th...

Re: Accept the "Mark of the Chip?"

This is not the mark of the beast. It is impossible to accept the mark today because the beast isn't yet in power. However it might be a way of getting people used to having a chip implanted in them so they can be more easily persuaded to accept the mark when the beast does come to power. https://cl...

Re: Was Jesus crucified naked?

The soldiers who crucified him divided his clothes among themselves. Obviously he couldn't have been wearing them when they did this.

Transgenders and same sex marriage

The Bible teaches that marriage is between a man and a woman and that in God’s eyes a same sex “marriage” is not a marriage at all. This is simple and is something that anyone can easily understand. At least it would be simple if it weren’t for the current transgender movement. A transgender person ...

Re: God as a big black woman

Just trying to figure out why the issue of God choosing to show Himself as a black woman? The Bible says that God is a spirit. It also says that no one can look on him and live. When Moses asked to see God's glory God said to him, “Behold, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock, a...
