Taking Questions on Instant Creation

[AV1611VET]

no questions - Being a believer in the lord Jesus i believe the word of God (written and living )and i believe God and i believe that we can trust him in what he says as thats what makes us believers and folks that say they believe him but then doubt his word make me doubt their sincerity in saying they believe him .

People doubt their salvation all the time.

It's a natural consequence of not being filled with the Holy Spirit.

What was his name and what was his wife's name?

I don't know.

As is freaking out over things like "science" challenging certain parts of their faith.

 

[AV1611VET]

Let's take a break from this thread, shall we?

You're thinking of the Fl...No, the Ark was built in [what is now] New Jersey.

It ended in the mountains of Ararat.

Stop lying. It was built in one of the British ship yards on the River Clyde.

The way I read it, Gen 1 is showing multiple deities known as "Elohim" created the universe. Thoughts ?

Elohim is plural in form, but singular in meaning, and it is used in that way throughout the OT. Even when God is making pronouncements such as, "There is [singular] no God [Elohim] beside me."

River Clyde!?

 

[AV1611VET]

Elohim is plural in form, but singular in meaning,

Yup. It's called a uniplural noun.

 

[lesliedellow]

River Clyde!?

A river which flows through Glasgow. We have got other rivers, apart from the Thames.

Do you realize how close England was to New Jersey before the Flood?

We would like to help them on their way, of course, but Americans are only moving away from Europe at the rate of 2cm per year. How old did you say the Earth was again?

 

[AV1611VET]

Only since Genesis 11.

How old did you say the Earth was again?

As old as God willed it.

 

[lesliedellow]

As old as God willed it.

Ah, so Bishop Ussher has lost his place in AV's pantheon.

 

[Larniavc]

You got questions?

Why did God do it?

 

[AV1611VET]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Mr. Ussher was a YEC, was he not?

His figures ... taken from the Bible ... show how long the earth has been in existence; not how old it is.

 

[KWCrazy]

How many times was Adam placed in the Garden in Genesis 2.

Two descriptions, one action.

 

[AV1611VET]

Why did God do it?

Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
