If she gets that wrong why trust what else she says?

Spirited: If she got that wrong, hence cannot be trusted, then the early Church Fathers got it wrong, as did Moses who received it as revelation from God, thus none of them-—including God-—can be trusted. Since you presume to know why ex nihilo is wrong then perhaps you will tell us why you believe it is wrong and what you believe is right?

Good luck with that. Our friend is one of the stunt Mormns, poster who is Mormon but likes to play games and not say they are LDS.

I am certain that you are sincere, but you’re just as wrong and your posse is as ignorant as they come. They actually think to know - blind leading the blind and all that.

The Church Fathers didn’t say what you think they said. Read them yourself. I have, but more importantly read your Bible.

Genesis 1:1 - http://bible.cc/genesis/1-1.htm

Genesis 1:2 - http://bible.cc/genesis/1-2.htm

No mention of creation ex nihilo. That’s utter nonsense read into the text by godless men who thought to know the mind of God. The Near Eastern peoples considered a God who tamed chaos to be greater than a god who created something from nothing. Verse one tells you what will happen, verse two tells you the current state, and the action starts in verse three.

There is nothing in the creation story to indicate that the Earth is unique, solitary, the only one of its kind, nor does the text indicate what was there beforehand. For the most part the Bible is silent on any even prior to Gen. 1:1.

The writer is ignorant, apparently intentionally and she wants to drag you with her. Don’t go.
