Re: Re A Genesis Day
The first three days of Genesis, the world was lit by "Spirit", as it will be on the new earth.
​
So then why doesn't it read let there be spirit (whatever that is)?

Re: Re A Genesis Day
All it says it "let there be light" not let there be "spiritual light for 3 days until I create the Sun".

Re: Re A Genesis Day
The sun, moon and stars were not created on day 4 in Genesis 1:16.
They were made to be visible on day 4. If they had been created, ‘ would have been used instead of which has nothing to do with bringing into existence.
​
So tell that to the people who state that the sun was created on the 4th day. I was simply responding to Me4Him's point.

Re: Re A Genesis Day
Just tell those people that the earths orbit started on day 4 its rotation started on day one.
​
That is nonsense. If the earth wasn't revolving around the sun, the sun's gravity would have pulled the earth into the sun and there would be no arguments for none of us would exist.

Re: Re A Genesis Day
The bible says if God did not intervene man would destroy the earth so no flesh would survive.
​
Man might kill off himself and other life, but in no way can he, at this time, destroy the planet. It will exist for millions, maybe billions of years after man has become extinct.

Re: Re A Genesis Day
Do you think April 5th 2009 is too soon for the Lucerne to get back to powering up? For the start date of the apocalypse?
​
I hyave no qualms as to when the "Lucerne" is restarted as for your apacalypse, I don't believe in mythology.
