Nonsense, you already know my position. The Bible is its own evidence. Does the Bible say what you think it says? No.
Now, you’re entitled to your opinion, there are millions of them on the Bible, Christianity and Salvation; but you’re not entitled to your own facts.
Using the fact of Genesis 1:1-3 your thesis for ex nihilo creation is disproved. You can continue to cling to it, that’s your choice to believe as you wish. I’ve simply pointed out the error in your supposition on the facts.
Oftimes though, faith needs to fly in the face of facts. Think of Peter’s experience on the water. While he acted in faith he remained upon the water, safe and sound. Once the facts penetrated and destroyed his faith, he submerged. Your choice, your faith, your salvation. Adieu.
Actually 1010, by your own standard it is neither proved nor disproved. You yourself have said it speaks nothing of what went before, so it gives no information as to whether matter was already there or made by God. So we have a draw in that regard as far as what is said about the universe before Genesis.
Now, given that even in the very Hebrew reference you gave me the word created is used, not ordered, reorganized reshaped etc. if we are to make an argument that one side or the other was making suppositions from the text, created supports the "from nothing" far better than he just showed up found some supplies sitting around and decide to toss together the Earth.
I know a weak set of Gods is a necessity for your LDS beliefs, and I know the spiritual gymnastics's it takes to support that, but this one is just to easy.
