Genesis 6: Prehistoric Mankind = sons of God.

It is you who are biblically ignorant, 4Pillars. There is absolutely nobody here on this thread who agrees with your fairy tales. It appears that you are the ONLY one teaching this nonsense....absolutely NO biblical truth in what you say. Some of your posts sound like Mormonism.

 

Let's take a look at the text.

Gen 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
Gen 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
Gen 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Gen 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.
Gen 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.

If the waters under the heaven, or firmament, were gathered together and called "seas", it seems to reason that the waters above the firmament would have been the canopy of water that used to envelope the planet before the flood. After the flood, this would be reduced to clouds.

This firmament is simply the atmosphere of the earth, where birds and such fly.

Gen 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

It is still in existence, evidenced by each breath we take.

Gen 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
Gen 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Gen 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
Gen 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth

This took place on the fourth day. the firmament or heaven referred to here is the space occupied by the sun (greater light), moon (leser light), and stars. This is the second "heaven" mentioned in the Scritpures.

I'm not sure what you're talking about concerning the third day with the reference to Gen 2:4-5. It reads,

Gen 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
Gen 2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

I see no mention of a "big bang", here nor anywhere else in Scripture, at least not until 2 Pet 3:10, but that's the end, not the beginning.

2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise [big bang?], and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

The third heaven is the dwelling of God.

 

What is a Christian 4Pillars? In your profile you neither define your denomination, neither tell which church you are from. What church do you come from?

 

Funny, the serpent told Eve her mind would be opened when she ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

You are very deceiving, 4Pillars. Twisting the Word of Truth into a lie.

 

There is a great difference between dividing the Word of God and rightly dividing the Word of God. You are doing the former instead of the latter.

"Both a Moderator of this Board, and an Administrator have asked you to explain your denomination and your Church affiliation. You seem to be ignoring them. Why? What do you have to be ashamed of?

 

You are the one who is twisting Scripture to your own destruction and you say I should "calm down and open my mind"? Seems as though your mind is so OPEN that any false teaching falls into it.

Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

It appears that Jesus was very "narrow minded" and warned us to be the same.

I'll read God's Word and "rightly divide the word of Truth"---not some fairy tale invented by someone who is on the "broad way to destruction"

The THEM is all the living creatures which God had created up until the 5th day. Man's creation was on DAY SIX--therefore, He didn't mean MAN. If you would "rightly divide" the Word of Truth, you would understand and see this...but since you are making up fairy tales, I'm afraid you don't rightly divide the Word of Truth.

Baloney!

 

Did Adam have a navel or not?

We sure do get convoluted contemplating our navels. We know from whence we fell and the remedy.

Jesus is coming soon. Why are we contemplating our navels?

Pillars, I am a little familiar with Maryland, just where is it you go to church.

 

You won't get a response. He has been rightly banned for his heresy. I doubt he is a believer at all, but signed up to the BB to spread his garbage and to deceive.

 

This thread, also started by 4Pillars, will be shut down. It's existence serves no purpose any longer.
