Quote (Cindy @ May 15 2009,11:41)Kathi1 Question do you really think, since the Father is perfect in any way, that He would create a Void and dark and without form Earth? I do not think so. Like Nick said not all is listed in the Bible. I believe that too. When the Catholic Monks wrote the Bible down, they only had little pieces of all the…[Read more]

Nick, Irene and Georg,You are rewriting the Bible and adding to it IMO. The Bereans searched SCRIPTURES to see if what was being said was true. If we search scriptures to verify what you say to be true we can not find “re”create, or “became formless and void.” We do find that a day to GOD is but a thousand years so the six days in Genesis may…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ May 14 2009,23:12)Hi LU, THE BEGINNING is an epoch we were not given much information about.But the devil was a liar from then.Nick,I am confused. Which beginning is an epoch, the beginning that Genesis speaks of as it relates to our realm? Is there another beginning that you are speaking of?LU

So Nick,Who was He with and when did He start being with someone?LU
Lightenup replied to the topic Is the watchtower society wrong? in the forum Inspirational writings & sermons 17 years ago
Nick,Yes GOD was before Genesis…He always existed and had no beginning, the earth didn't always exist, the “Word” did not always exist. Words have origins.You asked “was the Word with God in the beginning?” In the beginning of what Nick? Again, the beginning of “what” was before Genesis in your opinion? And your scriptures to support that are…

Nick, We should assume that Genesis is the origin of all things pertaining to THIS REALM at least, in which we live. If there are other realms we are not told of them but maybe they existed beforehand however they would be OTHER realms and NOT this one. IMO In Genesis the earth was not recreated, renewed, regenerated or otherwise…it was…[Read more]

Nick,What form was the earth present when Genesis starts. Before Genesis starts it was not present. If you disagree with that then you disagree that creation took six days.LU
Lightenup replied to the topic Is the watchtower society wrong? in the forum Inspirational writings & sermons 17 years ago
Nick,That would not agree with it being created in six days. It seems to me that GOD created the first stage of the heavens and the earth during the first evening of those six days, then He brought light into being and called it day. After that He separated the Light from the darkness and there was evening and morning the first day. Evening…[Read more]

Georg,Read the quote again, it says “Like ALL reptiles…” As you know, snakes are not the only reptiles.I put that comment in to respond to your comment:Quote I don,t think your assessment that reptiles grow bigger the longer they live is quite correct, I at least have not heard that, some snakes might, Anacondas.You might want to read this…[Read more]

Hi Georg,Your next question was “what about the gas, oil, and coal; do you know how they form, and how long it takes them to form?My answer: You seem to assume that GOD didn't create gas, oil and coal within the earth. Are you assuming that He just created what would become gas, oil, and coal and after many years they eventually became gas, oil,…[Read more]

Nick,We only know that it began formless and void and became formed and filled by day six. The intended created earth was not present before it was formed and prepared to sustain life. The formless and void earth existed before it was formed, I agree but that just means that it was not done yet and needed the happenings of day one and day two…[Read more]
