Flat earth and geocentrism do NOT line up with Scripture and are not mentioned. Rather they were man's interpretation, what man believed...they were mistaken. Reality is truth and truth is written. Evolution not only isn't written but is in direct opposition to what is written. Either evolution is truth or creation is truth....one or the other.
Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, His work is perfect: for all His ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He.
Psalm 33:4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all His works are done in truth.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
John 17:17,19 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
(19) And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
Psalm 33:4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all His works are done in truth.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
John 17:17,19 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
(19) And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
11 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
So I ask you....As His word is truth, As we are sanctified through truth, As we must worship Him in truth, As all scripture is truth and profitable for learning truth....then should we not pay attention to what is written and always choose it over man's ideas when those ideas are in direct conflict with Scripture?
He was the beginning of the line to the Savior....He was a literal man as Christ also was literal.
If you see "after his kind" as being the choice in a partner and not in reproduction then this is another avenue of disagreement in understanding. To me, it clearly means each species produces the same species.
I have. I have asked that a decision be made between the written Word and Darwin's theory. There is no room for both.
Only when they claim it. Have I?
That isn't the only issue pointing to the lie of evolution. As for God's time...He also tells us that His day is as a thousand years.
Pictures of ape and human skulls...stong similarity. I see the same similarity when I go to the zoo but I never called one of them daddy.
Thank you for quoting that...I have never noticed it before. However, here we must rightly divide the word. There is work, such as the work that continues today, which you have pointed out and then there is the work that ended for He tells us....."God ended His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made." The work He "had made," was the creation of "heavens, earth and all the host." FINISHED, past tense! They didn't evolve but were ended and then...He rested.
Good question Assyrian. No.
But, if I were to guess it would be the eighth day formation of Adam, when "man became a living soul." Eight means new beginnings and that eighth day was...a new beginning. We read this differently Assyrian. According to their kinds, to me, is about each creation having their own kind. It is no different than....
Genesis 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Funny that grass and trees are referred to as "his kind," rather than it's kind.
Another verse that makes you delve deeper (if you, as I, believe in creatures other than humans and literal fowl flying in our skies).....Genesis 1:20-23 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
The waters bring forth fowl...fowl that flies and multiples in the earth. And yes, I know this is a stretch but it is what I'm seeing.
Beast of the field and beast of the earth are simply differences in style and vocabulary between two creation accounts, Genesis 2&3 says plant to the field, herb of the field, beast of the field. It is the difference between one person saying animals, and another wild animals. Genesis 2 refers to the beast of the field and bird of the air as 'every living creature', the same as the living creatures we read about in Gen 1. When do you think all the birds of the air were created?
More is being said Assyrian. Using "of the field" and "of the earth" isn't a happenstance or style of writing.
No, what I think doesn't matter. What is written does. Was it written that the sun goes around the earth? No. Man assumed...man was wrong.
Scripture didn't say...man assumed.
We go over the same stuff a lot here
Yes, we seem to. The difference is Genesis is one Book of God's account. It is written that way for a reason.
Would He tell us, in parable form, that something happened a certain way when...it happened a completely different way, a way that conflicts with the literal or figurative (however you wish to understand it) way it was written?
I can't think of any writing saying....you must read Genesis literally, but the following demonstrate that it happened as written....
Psalm 119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
The beginning, to me, is the very beginning.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 He hath made every thing beautiful in His time: also He hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
No man would include Darwin.
Matthew 19:4 And He answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
At the beginning we were made to produce...we didn't evolve into that capacity.
11 Peter 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.
All things are as they were....we don't evolve into something else.
The point is...scripture didn't change. It was, as you said...their interpretation that was wrong. It isn't written that the earth is the middle of the universe but man thought it up. We may have "vastly more evidence" for understanding the adaptation species make (still within their specific, kind after kind, group) over time but not for man evolving from ape.
1 Corinthians 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
You know Jesus had problems with his disciples arguing with each other back then too
I thought of that very thing yesterday. We'll get there. 1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
