Thanks.
WRONG! Genesis 1:1-2 narrate us the story of condition of the DEEP before the creation of our heaven and earth in the beginning.

God Bless

Understanding the Genesis - A Brief Reconciliation

Genesis, The Proper Perspective
(A Brief Summary)

Note: Insertions are mine.

These are the generations of heavens and of the earth when they were created (by God Almighty) , in the day when the Lord God (Son or YHWH) made the earth and the heavens. Genesis 2:4

In the beginning God created the Heaven (Air) and the Earth (Ground). Genesis 1:1

v2 And the Earth was without form, (Dust) and void; (Empty) and darkness (Death) was upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Genesis 1:2

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day." Genesis 1:3~5

Note: The first creation only took place on the 2 Day after the Light was brought forth - not on the 1st. day!!!

THE 1st Heaven - formed in the midst of the waters- Day 2.

And God (Father) said, Let there be a firmament in the midts of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. v7 And God made the firmament of heaven, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. v8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were THE SECOND DAY. Genesis 1:6~8

Note: The 1st Earth, the 2nd Heaven, and the 3rd Heaven formed, - Day 3 which is before the plants and the herbs...

And God said, Let the waters under the Heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the DRY land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw it was good." Genesis 1:9~10

eh, doesnt work.

It is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever. For in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested, and was refreshed.
For in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore Jehovah blessed the Sabbath day, and sanctified it.
(Exo 20:11)
The whole of creation is included there in the six days.

So..

Let me get this straight. The Earth was a deep, without form, and void? According to this definition, it seems appropriate for me to call a black hole, a planet.

And this black hole was full of death...

That horribly doesn't make sense. Because if it had no form, how could His face show upon the waters?

I am more and more smelling a.....

Here's an allegory for you:

The Philadelphia Eagles won the game.

Quarter 1 through 4 they racked up the points and dominated defensively.


Now according to your logic, the game never took place because I declared "what" happened before I declared "how" it happened.

That is not how it should be read, literally.

In the beginning the Eagles played a football game, and the playing field was void and without form, and the faces of the players were shown upon the surface of the turf.

Feeling senseless yet?

Now you're twisting it. Like my example of the football game, the first verse of Genesis is a presentation of a completed event which is followed by a description of that event. It doesn't say In the beginning God was going to create......

So it was just telling us that the Earth was created, but it never states God created the formless void of a waterfilled planet. How can a formless void of a planet have water? ;)

This is an unbiblical assumption, and is another reason why I can see the Genesis account is not entirely interpretted correctly.

Nobody is twisting. If it was a good example it should make sense....

sounds more like you want to take a giant leap from ''figure of speech'' to ''allegory''.

I have a ''cool'' car.
Does this mean Im lying and dont really have a car?
