Mike,

This is what I said:

I believe that the Father gives the vision and the Son does what He has seen in the vision. The Son formed man. All things are made by the only begotten God, apart from the only begotten God, nothing has been made that has been made. John 1:3, even the heavens and the earth ;).

The Father gives the vision, the Son tur…[Read more]

Gene:  Heaven and earth was already in existence when the Spirit of God moved upon the waters, so it could have not been created later right? Common sense 101.

Gene, what exactly were these “waters” that the Spirit of God moved upon?  Describe them for us.

As for your second point, it is indeed common sense 101.  So let’s reason it out to…[Read more]

How about this one, Gene?

Gen 26:1… And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham.

It’s talking about a famine that WAS in the past.  Would you say “the famine that BECAME in the days of Abraham”?

It doesn’t really matter anyway.  I’ve already showed you that “was” is the proper t…[Read more]

BEREAN……No,  in the begining was step one and in that step God created the heavens and the earth,  that had nothing to do with a single day or day one,   As you falsely assume. Heaven and earth was already in existence when the Spirit of God moved upon the waters, so it could have not been created later right? Common sense 101.

Peace and lov…[Read more]

Mike…… but yes it would make sense to say the hand of God became against Isreal,  when you consider it was not alway against Israel right,  this show a process had taken place over time.  We all know God was not “always”   against Israel.  Right?   So this could also apply to this earth as “becoming” or coming to be, (to-hu and bo-hu ) right? …[Read more]

Thanks Danny. I think he is reading too many anti-God sources, and taking their claims at face value instead of investigating them. Yahweh is indeed the Most High God of all the other gods according to the Bible.  Cheers

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:

It was shown to you so that you might know that Yahweh is God.
There is no one else besides him. Deuteronomy 4:35

Know therefore today, and take it to heart, that Yahweh himself is God
in heaven above and on the…[Read more]

To all

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
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…[Read more]

For those who haven’t been following along, Proclaimer has gotten himself into some real trouble on our private thread.  He is unable to reasonably answer my “Must Answer” questions, and is stalling with irrelevant pontification.  Here are the questions he is supposed to answer before posting a single thing anywhere on HN…
Mike:  PLEASE PR…[Read more]

Here’s a good one, Gene…

Judges 2:15… Whenever Israel went out to fight, the hand of the LORD was against them to defeat them, just as he had sworn to them. They were in great distress.

Notice the word “was”.

Notice that it’s the same Qal Perfect form as Gen 1:2.  Yet it is rightly translated as “was”.  It wouldn’t make sense to say t…[Read more]

Gene, I read Frank Nelte’s writing, and I understand his claim that “hayah” is better translated as “became” in Gen 1:2 than as “was”.   He bases his assessment on the perfect tense of the word.  Here is Gen 1:2…

You see on the right that it is the Qal Perfect form of the word, right?  Yet all Bibles translate it as “was”, right?  Okay, that…[Read more]

Mike……I would like you to focus on a single word for a change,  the word used in Gen 1v2,  “And the earth (was)   this word came from the Heb word ”  (haw-yaw) . Strong H1961

Haw-yaw …….A primitive root meaning,  to exist, that is, , (be “OR” become, or came to pass) to be to-hu and bo-hu (meaning empty) ; a vacuity, that is (superf…[Read more]

Now please directly AND HONESTLY answer both of the questions in this post…

Private thread for Mike and Proclaimer only: “The Bible vs Scientism”

Proclaimer:  In Genesis 2:4,  how many days does it say took place for God to create the heaven and earth, and how many hours does that equal?

Gen 2:4 doesn’t mention a specific number of days, but instead uses the common idiom “in the day”, which intentionally refers to a general, unspecified time period.  The second part of the question isn’t an…[Read more]

STRAIGHT TALK 

AN AMAZING FACT: With eight tight hairpin turns down a 27 percent grade, Lombard Street in San Francisco has been dubbed the most crooked street in the world.
Maybe you’ve driven down the red-bricked Lombard Street when touring the City by the Bay. It’s kind of fun to travel down the one-block secti…[Read more]

Carmel: NOW TO 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. 

ABOVE IS NOT A SUMMARY OF WHAT’S TO FOLLOW, BUT AN INTRODUCTION PRECISELY TO THE PROCESS OF THE GENERATIONS OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH!

I like that terminology.  Gen 2:4 is an introd…[Read more]
