Guest shiloh357 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 One creation story interrupted by time.No, its just one creation account period. There is no interruption. It is all one consistent line of thought, one story that simply narrows in focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Genesis 1 is GOD's telling of Creation, while Genesis 2 is Adam's telling. They don't contradict each other at all.really? How do you know this?The first book of the Bible is actually a compilation of the stories of 8 men and their Creator. Our Lord tells His story in Genesis chapter 1 through 2:3 and after that each story begins with the phrase “These are the generations of … ” or “This is the account of …”. Adam’s story begins at 2:4 and continues through chapter 5 and explains why the creation account of chapter 2 differs slightly from that of chapter 1.

What you're saying now, (not saying is wrong, not saying its right either)... is Adam developed writing skill? And if possible, could you provide some kind of proof... a book or something that supports your claim... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a time frame for dinosaurs, and Australopithecus because they were not on earth during the time of Adam and beyond due to the carbon dating. God is once again going to recreate the earth with fire so that it is pure. No problem for a new earth 6000 yrs old after the other was destroyed and recreated. Satan now has limited dominion...he cannot touch the saints without God's permission first. Those not belonging to the Father, and in Jesus' hand are not under the same protection.

There was not previous earth prior to the one we have now. Dinosaurs are not millions of years old. Carbon dating is highly unreliable because it makes certain assumptions about the carbon present in the atmosphere and in dead animals that are found not to be true.

To me there is only one creation story in Genesis 1 with Genesis 2 being a more succinct telling. There is only one, but there is info I can eventually share that is not so obvious.Do you know something about the Creation account that the rest of us are not privy to?

Guest shiloh357 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 We, as Christians, need to stop letting the unbelieving and atheistic scientific community hi-jack the interpretation of Scripture. There is one six-day creation account where the earth was created in six 24 hour days. That's what the Bible says. It doesn't lay claim to millions of years and it doesn't teach there was a previous earth that was destroyed and ours is a re-creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
