Most people would equate that with an older Earth, that there was something there before Adam. How else do you replenish something if it isn't there before? Unless there are different opinions on the translation of this word of course.

I meant when "replenish" was used in Genesis 1:28. Long before the flood.That reminds me of the decimation of the Earth by the great flood that God sent.
It also reminds me that there is still hope after such an event.
And lastly, it reminds me of God's great plan to create a New Earth in the future!
I can't wait to see it!!!
It seems strange they would translate the same word in 2 different ways. Maybe the context was different.The meaning of "replenish" at the time that the KJV was written often meant "full" and did not necessarily mean "fill up again". The KJV also translates the same Hebrew word as "fill" in Genesis 1:22. Furthermore, the Hebrew word used means "fill", so it is not implying anything about there being something there before Adam.

This is what I believe.There are some that teach the correct translation on Genesis 1:2 is that the Earth became void and without form.
The usage of the word replenish the Earth along with Genesis 1:2 indicates something drastically happened that destroyed/broken up the Earth. Separated the waters and the land. Replenish to fill the Earth up again with life.
To me this is what makes the most sense. It explains why the earth is dated to be extremely old, etc. As for scripture support, I believe the word "was" should be translated as 'became" in Genesis 1.God states in Isaiah he did not create the world without form and void. He created it to be inhabited. So I don't believe he created a wasted ruin. I believe it became that way.Which lead to a cataclysmic ending rendering the earth void. However, unfortunately, it doesn't have much much support in scripture
I agree it fits. And yes God was responsible for what man is called the big bang. From my point of view the big bang came about when God said "let there be light." In images given there is always the burst of light at the moment of the singularity.This is what I believe.

Also in Jeremiah 4 he talks about Genesis 1 and states that he beheld the mountains and all the hills lightly. To me God was in fact, the "big bang" only it came from his anger during the time of Satan's downfall and all those who followed him. That's why some continents look like they used to fit together and so on. Everything shifted and was put out of it's place.
He also talks about that time in Job when he first set the foundation of the earth. It was the sons of God and the morning stars who were singing, etc. They were the ones there.
But I know not everyone will agree to that. But to me it answers a lot of questions like what happened to the dinosuars, etc. It all just fits.
Of course many civilizations could have existed on Earth in the past. And it probably doens't really matter since we can't control the past or change it in any way. Nor should we be able to because that would really mess things up!This is one of my favorite ideas. That there was a first earth age. And the war between the Heavenly Host and Satan took place during that time. Which lead to a cataclysmic ending rendering the earth void. However, unfortunately, it doesn't have much much support in scripture.
There was no civilization before Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. They were not given the whole earth, just Eden.Of course many civilizations could have existed on Earth in the past.
KJV Dictionary Definition: replenishMost people would equate that with an older Earth, that there was something there before Adam. How else do you replenish something if it isn't there before? Unless there are different opinions on the translation of this word of course.
That makes no sense at all and it sounds like a scam. But in this day and age just about everything is a scam. RE in front of the word plenish means something. Because plenish means something. Also in the Hebrew the letter vav is added and this is the connection between Heaven and Earth. We know God wants to re establish this connection.So replenish the earth in old English is fill the earth is modern English.
The Bible Begins with: Genesis 1:1 "In the Beginning God created the heaven and the earth". Of course Heaven can mean a lot of things. Sagan & Tyson on the PBS program "Cosmos" tells us that we are star stuff. That the elements God used to make us came from the Stars. This is why GAP creationists say there is a large GAP of time between when God created the Heavens and when God created the Earth.Most people would equate that with an older Earth, that there was something there before Adam. How else do you replenish something if it isn't there before? Unless there are different opinions on the translation of this word of course.
