Greetings Brother
Very good! A big amen, to all you said.
I notice you said, "but remember we are assuming information coming from the Bible, the creation theory"
When I first read that 'assume' I took it wrong. We so often think we know the meaning of a word, right. I was once told that when you assume something you make an ass-u-me [Sorry if some were offended with that statement]. But it always make me feel like the work assume was something that was not sure.
The Word of God is sure!!
I believe the Word of God to be true. I believe God DID create the world in 6 days. After all how long does it say, let there be light. LOL God is God!
As soon as we start to judge for ourselves what scripture is true and what scripture is not true, then we walk on dangerous ground of judging God - after all isn't His Word, Himself.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
I have heard theologeons say that there was life before Genesis 1:2
It is referred to as a gap theory. That between verse one and verse 2 Satan was cast out of heaven. Earth was made chaos, end of earth's first perfect state and first sinful career because of Lucifer's rebellion. Overthrow of the world that then was. 2 Peter 3:5-8; Jer 4:23-26. Thus the explanation to why some fossels date back more than 6000. Verse 2 then markes the re-creation, earths second perfect state and second habitation. The seven days: 1 day and night restored.
I am not sure what I think of that. I find it errelavant - actually. Like how is that information going to make me a better person; how is it going to help me to become all that Christ wants me to be; how is that information going to make the world a better place? Wow! I almost talked myself into deleting that. :)
Keep up the good work brother
