For Carmel, Gene, and Proclaimer…
This is a technical note about Gen 1:1 from the NET Bible scholars…

1 tn The disjunctive clause (conjunction + subject + verb) at the beginning of v. 2 gives background information for the following narrative, explaining the state of things when “God said…” (v. 3).

Verse one is a title to the chapter

Gene

If our earth and heavens had had a precedent, GOD WOULD HAVE MEAN IT IN A MUCH MORE OBVIOUS WAY, AS HE DID WITH NOAH; AND WE HAVE LOTS OF LESSONS TO DRAW FOR OUR LIFE. BUT HERE, IN GENESIS 1, WE HAVE NOTHING AT ALL, NOR IN THE REST OF THE BIBLE ELSEWHERE…
SO, WHAT IS THE USE OF TRYING TO MAKE A FIRE WHEN THERE IS NOTHING TO BURN?

GENESIS…[Read more]

Gene: Mike……First of all your “Fred” story is full of false asumptions,  because if Fred created a “car” then it was not “void” , it was a car   that means it had design and was not void at all…

Everything that ever WAS created (past tense) began as not existing.  If I say that Henry Ford created (past tense) his first automobile in 1896,…[Read more]

Was Jesus giving respect when he called the Pharisees whitewashed tombs and hypocrites?  Jesus also made it very clear that he wasn’t sent to earth to bring peace, but to bring division.  After all.

Hi Mike thanks for your detailed replies to my post. Here you compare yourself to the First Century Jew, Jesus’ statements as recorded by the Gos…[Read more]

Mike……First of all your “Fred” story is full of false asumptions,  because if Fred created a “car” then it was not “void” , it was a car   that means it had design and was not void at all,  now if the car got into a wreck then it “BECAME” or  (WAS ) “USELESS”,  and after it was reparied it was or became a usable car again.   The word (was) o…[Read more]

Flat Earth PROVEN By Independent Research

Elon Musk’s opens up about whether moon landing was fake or real. As Elon Musk says, Apollo Mission was one of the most significant achievements of 20th century. But why people doubt that it happen? Well, Elon Musk has his own opinion on this question. Let’s analyze.

The Following 

Christ and the Pharisees 

or The faithfulness of Christ in keeping the Sabbath.

It can be seen from this passage how Christ was at that time attracting attention among these classes, the Pharisees, scribes and doctors of the law, and the reasons for what happened afterwards. This verse clearly shows that Christ had already a…[Read more]

Hi to all

THE POWER OF A SEED 

AN AMAZING FACT: The oldest known viable seeds were found in 1954 in a lemming burrow in Canada’s frigid Yukon. The frozen burrow, buried in silt and sediment, was 4,200 years old. When the arctic tundra lupine seeds were placed in favorable conditions, several seeds sprouted within 48 hours. One…[Read more]

I take it that you deny all the statements in the OP, right?

What would your current statement of belief be regarding the creation of heaven and earth? In other words, you don’t believe in the first statement in the OP that there is one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

How did the h…

Danny: Hi Mike,

I only wanted to show Adam that YHWH is EL!
Because Adam believes they are separate deities.
I gave him these Bible verses:

Hi Danny thanks for your post to me on Yahweh as EL. The problem here is that our Bible came from many sources and many writers. It was also evolved and developed as per the timeline along with the evolution…[Read more]

And my next “Must Answer” question will be…

Exodus 20:11… For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them…

Psalm 96:11… Let the heaven rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it.

Acts 4:24… “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heaven and the earth and the sea…[Read more]

Okay, I’ve come up with my next “Must Answer” question, since it’s been a week with no answers or questions from you.
Proclaimer, DOES THE PLURAL WORD “DAYS” EVER REFER TO anything OTHER THAN LITERAL DAYS IN THE BIBLE?  YES OR NO?  AND IF YES, SHOW THE SCRIPTURE(S).

Carmel: PROCREATION IS NOT A ONE-MAN JOB!

Sorry Charlie, I’ve no time for childish nonsense.  Nor any time for someone who flat out lies that the words are not synonymous after I screenshot an actual mainstream thesaurus page that lists all of them as synonyms and added it to a post to you just last week.

Carmel: NOW IF GENESIS WAS A SUMMARY, THE…

Mike: Nobody is claiming that “was” means “always existed that way”, Gene.  Let’s use your car example…

In 2002, Fred created a car.  Now the car was formless and void.  Then Fred welded the frame together on day one.  Then Fred installed the engine on day two.  Then Fred attached the body on day three.  Then Fred painted the car red on day four.…

Carmel: Genesis 1:11 In the beginning God created heaven, and earth. 2And the earth was void and empty, 

Genesis 2:4 These are the generations of the heaven and of the earth
when they were created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven. 5And no plant of the field was yet in the earth…

Genesis 5:1 1This is the book of the generation…[Read more]

Hi Mike,

ME:1) DID YOU CREATE YOUR SON? AND HOW?
(2) DID YOU FORM YOUR SON? AND HOW?
(3) DID YOU MAKE YOUR SON? AND HOW?
(4) DID YOU ESTABLISH YOUR SON? AND HOW

MY QUESTION Mike, WAS CLEAR
DID YOU ……..
PROCREATION IS NOT 
A ONE-MAN JOB!
You: (1) Yes, through the act of procreation. 

ME: NO ! YOU, ALL BY YOURSELF DIDN’T CREATE YOUR SON,   G…[Read more]

Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock…

Mike: Danny, if there are other saviors, then what about Is 43:11 and Hosea 13:4?

Danny:  Yahweh God, the only Savior, can use whom he will to deliver his people.
I think in that sense others can be called saviors.

Gene:  God can use anyone  in his saving process. BUT HE IS STILL THE ONLY “TRUE” SAVIOUR.  None of those saviours could have saved…

LU:  Side note to the verse above…who is the “her,” the 3rd person feminine singular “her?” Could that refer to a unity of some sorts and not an individual? Hmmmm.

The grammatical gender of the word for ” spirit ” is feminine in Hebrew (רוּחַ, rūaḥ ), neuter in Greek (πνεῦμα, pneûma) and masculine in Latin (spiritus).   So I suppose t…[Read more]
