Guest shiloh357 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 On 6/11/2018 at 1:29 PM, Not me said: Genesis 1:2 (NASB) The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Question; It says “the earth was formless and void and darkness was over the surface of the deep” Did God create it that way or did something happen to it? Much love in Christ, Not me What you have is the raw elemental form of the universe. Nothing happened to it. That is it's pre-creative state.

The part where God says "Let there be light" and later on it says he created the greater light and the lesser light. There is no problem with this.. the first light was simply that... Light.. The second lights where the Sun and the Moon.. They are called the geater and lesser Lights.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concept of how much cannot apply! Can it? So it is with God Whom having the infinite as His possession created from that possession a way that pleased Him but failing to realize that it is just one way of the infinite He could have done other (!) must always sit in the reason of mind! Unless one is blessed by God to be reduced to the humility of being (and that with a begin) the ultimate statement of The Son cannot be fully appreciated Mark 14:36 36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. KJV Perhaps one of the most revelatory statements The Son Gives of The God Head's boundless resource permitting all questions conforming to anything, that is of His nature, of things possible... I notice how most people speak out from understanding creation as though God is bound by it's conformity … however God binds the conformity of the world to His Word whereby all things are possible with God in His possession of infinite resource ...

According to what you wrote; “What you have is the raw elemental form of the universe. Nothing happened to it. That is it's pre-creative state.” You believe it either existed in as you say in a “elemental form” or it was in “pre-creative” state. Which was the comment I said was an interesting one. Seeing I have heard that idea before. Much love in Christ, Not me Edited June 16, 2018 by Not me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it is the most obvious and easiest answer to your question and the one that matches the biblical record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard quite a few different interpretations of Genesis and each one swears that they have the correct understanding. I personally have my favorite (for which I have posted my reasoning, in my pryer post on this thread) but I’m not dogmatic about it, for I could be just as mistaken as could everyone else. The great thing is, in the future we shall know the truth. Much love in Christ, Not me Edited June 16, 2018 by Not me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
