Your interpretation would have us believe that the 6 days of creation have zero to do with the beginning.
As I've been pointing out, this isn't my "interpretation", but rather, what the Hebrew words really mean.
Secondly, the 6 literal 24 hour days are days of RESTORATON. That's that's the biblical view of Genesis 1.
Heb 11:3 - By faith we understand that the universe
was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
The Greek word for "formed" is 'katartizo'. It is used twice in the gospels for "the disciples MENDINGtheir nets". Matt 4:21 and Mark 1:19
It is used in Gal 6:1 - Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should
restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.
Yep, the bolded word is 'katartizo'. Getting the picture? The word means to "repair, mend, adjust, fix, restore". And Heb 11:3 ties that word to Genesis 1.
God created the earth and then restored it. As the key words in v.2 indicate.
It couldn't possibly still be the beginning, some thousands, or millions, or even billions of years later.
So, "couldn't possibly", huh. I don't care what the time gap was. It doesn't matter.
What matters is that God created the earth but the earth became tohu. Isa 45:18 says "God did not create the earth tohu".
So do you really want to create a conflict and contradiction within Scripture or do you want to just go with what the words really mean?
The 6 days of creation are describing some of the things God did in the beginning.
It seems the sticking problem is with the phrase "6 days of creation". It wasn't 6 days of creation. It was instant creation from v.1 and Psa 33:9 - For
he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
The bolded words refer to Gen 1:1. The entire universe was created in v.1, all at once. Because God SPOKE the universe into existence per Psa 33:9.
So, the correct phrase regarding Gen 1 is "the 6 days of restoration".
Now, if you disagree with any of my points here, please address them to prove that I'm wrong.
Remember, I don't want to be wrong any more than you want to be wrong.
