1. Adam's fall brings death into the world
2. Gap creationism says that there was a world and beings BEFORE Adam was created
Ergo -- did those beings die? If yes, then how? Death entered the world with Adam's sin, right?
Where do you read "new heavens"? Stop adding to the Word
Wow, this just gets better and better.
These are not "new" -- no where is the word "new", rather it is that the heavens were OF OLD....
And don't forget that after God created, He said that His Creation was "very good". If death is an enemy that Christ came to defeat, then how is death part of what is "very good"?
Also, consider Exodus 20:11
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Putting a "gap" between the first and second day is extra-biblical. It is an assumption made without support of the text.

Iscool -- on what basis do you make this? it's like your post above adding the word "new" to earth and heavens -- does your group think that God recreated heaven many times?

2Pe 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
These people obviously are familiar with the teaching of the Old Testament, including Noah's Flood...
2Pe 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2Pe 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
This is covered in Gen. 1:2...
2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
The heavens which are now, as opposed to the heavens which were of old...
2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Apparently you guys ARE ignorant of 'THIS ONE THING'...This tells us that the creation in Genesis 1:2 took place a little over 6000 years ago...
Doesn't matter to me whether you believe it or not...But it certainly solves the riddle of billions of years of Earth's history and evolution...
Do you actually read the words of scripture, or do you just browse the outline your religion puts out???
By doing so, your cult deny's the efficacy of Christ's sacrifice by denying that Adam's sin brought death into the world
We already know that your sect denies Christ is God
It is based on scripture...God tells us much of creation was made after its kind...Birds made after Gen. 1:2 were made like the birds before Gen. 1:2...The only thing that was made differently was man...For the first time, God created a being in His image, man...
God tells Adam to 'replenish' the earth...That means to fill again...
There's plenty of scripture to support this idea...
it's like your post above adding the word "new" to earth and heavens -- does your group think that God recreated heaven many times?
May have created and recreated hundreds of times, or just once...He didn't tell us...
And we know your cult worships a Pagan Goddess that you call the Queen of Heaven...
So your entire argument falls flat
Just like your cult's argument that Jesus Christ is just a creature created by God
ha ha -- wow, so your cult got gnostic knowledge about this?
> Birds made after Gen. 1:2 were made like the birds before Gen. 1:2...
Where did you get your Bible?
I can’t find anything like that in mine.
All too often scientific data and the Bible are mis-interpreted. The links below are intended to show that we do have both supporting evidence and the hydroplate theory that completely defend the Biblical position of 6-10 thousand years of earthly existence and an explanation for the fossil record laid down by the Flood of Noah.

Thanks Brandt for the proof of a 6000 years of earthly existence. Iscool’s theories are unfounded and from a Christian point of view deny the very reason for Christ’s sacrifice
Until people begin to understand the time span between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 they will keep spitting in the wind. Once a person understands that there is no disparity between the Bible and Science.
Lets look at what you say is Gods first act what scripture says it looked like.
Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Are you trying to tell us that the first thing God did was create a world that was a total mess?
Great resources...Thanks...
