A lot of Genesis gets very deep.
Here is a little of knowledge that I have come to.
1. There was life on earth before mankind was created in Gen 1. That world had been destroyed and that is why God told the mankind in Gen to go and replenish the earth. It wasn't just two people, it had to be several to eliminate any evolution to be involved.
first thanks for the reply, not trying to get into your conversation with truther, but you said, "
Here is a little of knowledge that I have come to".
fine, but as you know the bible never contridict itself correct. lets examine your first set of statements.
#1. "
There was life on earth before mankind was created in Gen 1". I'm taking this, "life", as in other people... humans? well the bible disagree, scripture, 1 Corinthians 15:45 "And so it is written,
The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.". now if it is
written, there is no other human, before him, Adam.
now your second question,
#2. "
That world had been destroyed and that is why God told the mankind in Gen to go and replenish the earth". again I'm assuming destroyed in verse 2, with the used of H922 בֹּהוּ bohuw? no, the earth was all water no land which appeared on day 3 listen, Genesis 1:9 "And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so."
Genesis 1:10 "And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good."
Genesis 1:11 "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so."
Genesis 1:12 "And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good."
Genesis 1:13 "And the evening and the morning
were the third day."
so my question, what was destroyed in or on the water?. because there was no land.
and your other question in direct to #2,
#3. "
That world had been destroyed and that is why God told the mankind in Gen to go and replenish the earth. It wasn't just two people, it had to be several to eliminate any evolution to be involved".
ERROR, the term "Replenish" is not what it meas today, listen, I'm using the Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary of American English
replenish: 1.
To fill; to stock with numbers or abundance. so, it's not to do it "again", I know when you saw that "RE"" in front of the word, you thought do it again. no but to fill the earth with people. see one somethimes have to used an Old English dictionary to get the correct understanding or the correct meaning of a word and how it is used.
so later we'll address the remander of your question if you like.
