Not without ignoring portions of scripture or adding ideas that aren’t there.
>>Do some homework. Don’t take my word for it, or anybody else’s for that matter. Open your eyes and let the Spirit of God guide you.<<
I’ve been studying this for over 40 years. You think I haven’t read and studied most everything I can get my hands on? You limit the greatness of God by boxing Him into just 6-7000 years and deny that also gives the gift of a scientific mind to Christians.
>>There are many who try to make the Bible fit into the atheistic “scientific” view who hold to this nonsense, but I prefer to believe the Word.
Not once has true science proven the Bible wrong. Many have tried and many have failed. Even the movie Ben Hur was written by someone who was trying to prove the Bible wrong. Once one realizes that there are perhaps billions of years between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 it’s a fascinating God glorifying study.
>>You accuse me of implying that God’s first day of creation was a “mess”. I can’t even begin to address how risible this is compared to someone who thinks God had a previous Creation that was an even bigger mess, and he had to destroy it and start over, like a child with leggos.<<
The world prior to Genesis 1:1 was destroyed because Satan had corrupted the inhabitants setting himself up as God just as he tried to do with Adam and Eve. That’s why he was cast out of heaven and became a fallen angel. This world will be reformed again after Satan is cast forever into the bottomless pit.
>>It is ADAM’S SIN that necessitates the reforming of this world. Not God’s mistakes.<<
And it was Satan’s deception that necessitated the destruction of the world before Genesis 1:1.
> And it was Satan’s deception that necessitated the
> destruction of the world before Genesis 1:1.
What world? Where does it say anything in the Scripture about any world before Genesis 1:1?
That’s your opinion, or that of some “teacher”.
If you’re happy believing that there was Death before Adam, then don’t let me rain on your parade.
But you are not going to convince me of that with wild conjecture.
