Creation as presented in Genesis chapters 1 and 2

Except where it says "was" with regard to the first earth huh? I still affirm that there are two different earths in the two different stories. Likewise with regard to the two earths affirmation. All you have done is demonstrate some selective translation and interpretation that is no more valid than mine

ICANT are you going to continue to behave dishonestly or are you going to answer the question?Is it your position in this thread is that the KJV bible is poorly translated and thus cannot be taken literally? I provided 3!!!! The first 3 I came across. FFS ICANT. OK I will do another cursory google search. Oh look in the first link I come across its says: Link

I am also aware that some use the argument that ‘become’ as a translation of Hebrew hayah represents a construction with a preposition ‘to’ (94 times) or ‘as’ (11 times) or ‘in’ (twice), when exegeting the KJV. It can also be stated that hayah is translated ‘was’ some 3,800 or more times in that version.

You can argue till you are blue in the face about whether "hayah" is best translated as "was" or not (and this link does exactly that). But it is obviously widely considered to be a valid translation and it is indisputably this translation that has been used by those who wrote the KJV.Thus the KJV supports the two earth affirmation. Do you deny this?

Hmmmm. Let us compare this with what ICANT wrote previously in this thread.ICANT previously writes:

I am approaching these two stories as written in the KJV Bible as the absolute truth.

​

I am affirming what is said in the KJV Bible

​

Nothing matters except what is written in the KJV Bible as that is all that I am affirming in this thread

​

Do you agree that the KJV Bible says what it says? Yes/No

Do you see why some might consider your stance on this somewhat contradictory?

Well it all depends on the assumed quality of your translation and then your subjective interpretation of that translation doesn't it? That is what this thread has demonstrated if anything. You have contradicted the entire premise of your own thread and been shown that the words of the KJV taken literally can just as easily apply to two earths as your own unique and bizarre claims.I don't think it is me who has been refuted here ICANT.
