subtlemee:According to the genesis creation narrative, god created the firmament to separate the "waters above" the earth from the "waters below" the earth. This means the firmanent was created after the heaven and earth and it's purpose is not defined as god's dwelling place |

chemystery: I would have,. But the question doesn't make sense. God is infinite. Everything that was created, both heaven and earth. Exists in Him. Colossians 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 1 Like 1 Share |

felixomor:Sure, i agree to all that. I want to agree god is infinite, i also want to agree he created heaven and earth. But knowing too well heaven is god's dwelling place which he created alongside earth, i want to know where god was dwelling before he created his dwelling place - which is heaven. 2 Likes |

chemystery:Genesis 1:1 in the beginning (time) God created the heaven (space) and the earth (matter). we read in the epistle of Paul were he refer were God dwell as the third heaven: 2Corinthian 12:2 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven. there is nothing imply in genesis one that God created his own home, the reason you think like this is because you are only looking for fault and not truth. Isaiah 57:15 15 For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: s “I dwell in the high and holy place, With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones. |
