Gods word only says one thing and as I said you have nothing not a single scripture not a single bit of proof common sense tells us something is wrong you have not one answer only thats what you were told. Three is the number of Divine perfection numbers are very important in Gods Word he rose after three day, there are three World ages scripture tells us this it is not a metaphor its not speculation it is the truth of Gods Word.God tells us he will make a new heaven and a new earth there is nothing new under the sun what was before will be again that is Gods Word not men traditions.God has a plan he is following the fact men dont get it doesnt much matter Three earth ages One of the biggest controversies between religious scholars, scientist and archaeologist, is how the earth was formed and how old it is. Many religious scholars believe that the earth was created 6,000 years ago, contradicting proof of a dinosaur or Stone Age millions of years old. On the other hand many scientist and archaeologist believe in millions of years of evolution forming the world on it's own, leaving out the possibility of creation. Let us take a deeper study into the Word of God and find out that it speaks of the foundation of the world that was created by God, Eons ago. We will also find that there are three earth ages or dispensations of time. The world that was, the world now and the world to come. Let us begin our study with the Gospel of Saint John. IN the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He made all things; and without him was not any thing made that was made. (John 1:1,3) Literally, "the Word," meaning Christ, the wisdom and power of God and the first cause of all things; God's personal expression of himself to men. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. (Revelation 22:13) All time and things begin and end with the Word of God! IN the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Genesis 1:1) This is speaking of when God laid the foundation of the world. (Themelios) in the Greek. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding. (Job 38:4) When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy! (Job 38:7) Speaking of the foundation of the world, when the souls God created, were in angelic or spirit bodies. This is the period of time when the dinosaurs (Behemoth) roamed the earth. God's Word gives us an excellent description of the Behemoth in the book of Job. It is said through studies of the original transcripts, that God destroyed this first earth age or dispensation of time. This destruction was because of Satan's rebellion. (Katabole in the Greek language). And the earth was without form, and void; and the darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. (Genesis 1:2) In the Hebrew manuscripts it is stated in (Genesis 1:2) that the earth was not created void, but became void! (Tohu va bohu) in the Hebrew language, meaning void and desolate. For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. (Isaiah 45:18). For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the Word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same Word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. (II Peter 3:5-7) This is not talking of Noah's flood, but of the firmament flood that by the hand of God destroyed the first earth age or dispensation of time. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. (Genesis 1:3) The beginning of the second earth age or dispensation of time. That same earth age we live in now mentioned in (II Peter 3:7), that is kept in store for judgment day. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. (II peter 3:10) Speaking of the near future, the day of the Lord, in which this second earth age or dispensation will end, and the third and final earth age will begin and remain forever. For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. (Isaiah 65:17) There will be a new heaven and earth and this present earth age will be forgotten. Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. (II Peter 3:13) With our strengthened faith in God's promise we can look foreword to a new heaven and a new earth, where we can live in peace, without sin, in the goodness of our Lord, Jesus Christ.Keep The Faith,BartUnless you give some scripture or anything but traditions and opinions your veiw is just that opinion of men who had no knowlegde of science of anything and in fact thought the earth was the center of the universe it is from these same men that your ideas have come down from

I know what you believe, and it's what you want to believe. No Gap is taught in the Bible. It's what you've believed. Nothing of what I believe has to do w/ traditions. It's the simple truth of what God has told us. No scripture? :naughty:

Who today is ignorant of Noah's flood? Give me a honest answer from you? And who is ignorant from the flood in the First Earth Age?

Millions of people are willfully ignorant (your forgot a word) about Noah's flood (particularly Evolutionists). They willfully ignore the flood. The flood is not only a part of Israel's literal past, but it speaks to us that God owns this world and he has the right to judge it. They willfully treat it as a fable... or a story, but not fact.You make a good point... the "gap" on the other hand is nothing that the world is willfully ignorant of... they don't even know about it because it's not taught by most Christians (like Noah's flood is) because it's not true.

I think the world and men teach an old world (4.5 billion yrs old) more than people who believe in the bible and creation. I'm not saying Kriss and Jag are wrong, I'm just saying what they have posted isn't likely based on what I have read of the bible and the refutation of Evolution. Evolution needs the Universe and Earth to be very old to work, Creation does not need the Universe or Earth to be old. If you take the bible at face value (which I do) then the Earth is approximately 6000 yrs old plus one week. Here is a link which I think backs up this position.http://www.earthage.org/youngearthev/evide...young_earth.htmIt's not the end all evidence that the Earth has to be young but I think it definitely points in that direction. I don't think anyone who believes in God and the bible can say that God couldn't have created the Earth in only one week. I don't know what is going to be the final evidence but I'm sure the argument will rage on long after we are gone.

We are not talking creation vs evolution your attempt at slight of hand, untrue claims no one is talking evolution we said God created the earth millions of years ago but you have no leg to stand on so you keep changing the argument because you have nothing I just gave you scripture after scripture yet you say thats my believe yeah it is because its Gods Word. tell me how does this adversely affect how we see God does it change anyone's theology, does it change what Christ told us or effect anyone's Salvation????????? No it changes nothing its just simply what scripture teaches and what common sense tells you. That mens traditions have been wrong because knowledge has increased, There is no reason to disbelieve God over men when it changes nothing of importance in our faith. its plain stubbornness to see the truth of the Word as God presents it over men's tradition. But hey if your comfortable dening Gods word thats entirely your choiceIm sure you will find a hundred sites that deny the Word out of their stubborness to change as you but no one has any scripture on there side but us. So believe what you will

*sigh*I Corinthians 14:38 - But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Oh oh! Scripture battles. Okay (flips through verses about teaching)... Ah, here we are

.1 Peter 3:15-16 ... be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

I rather not go off topic. So I'll leave it at that.Earth is over 6,000 years old. Genesis 1:1-2, Isaiah 45:18 Jeremiah 4:22-27, II Peter 3:5-7.

I would never be comfortable denying Gods word. It's your word that I'm not so sure about. You seem to have read a lot between the lines of the bible that isn't necessarily there. I'm very far from being a bible expert but I can read. You obviously feel very strongly about your position and I probably won't be able to change your mind. I was just giving you an alternate possibility that seems more simple to me. I don't think the bible was written to be overly confusing or overly debatable. I think it was written to be straightforward. At least as much as our limited understanding is capable of.

I'm not on here to debate,but this theory still kind of confuses me, a little.Wouldn't this theory be saying that everything God made was over a long period of time, instead of coming forth right after He commanded it to?and if Adam wasn't created in one day, that he was created over a long period of time?because when Christ called Lazarus from the dead, with His word, Lazarus came out. It didn't take days or weeks or months or years for Lazarus to rise to life.I'm just wondering what anyone's opinion is on this

The creation week (Genesis 1:3-31) is completely different than three Earth Ages. (Genesis 1:1-2, Isaiah 45:18, Jeremiah 4:22-27, II Peter 3:5-8) No human (flesh) existed in the first Earth Age. Only our true self does (soul), so in short our human body does not exist in those times.

Yes I do believe it, but I truly don't believe those days are human days. (Sunday-Saturday) but rather on His Time (II Peter 3:8) Not every time the bible says day(s) are actually referring to human days. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. But for people to say everytime the word day is always referring to human days is a teaching of men, not of God.Just to warn you friend.
