AlfaSeltzer:Lmao chai and am piting this guy oo, that same Jesus who is the saviour today would be the jugde on the last day, no amount of pleading will suffice, the thing is you are free to abuse, it doesnt move Him one inch, yall think God is under obligations to make Himself known to you, God is not moved by your unbelief cos guess what, He is still God and you cant move Him one bit to make Him show Himself to you, you aint worth it, peace brother |

A thousand years to God is not a day, a thousand years to God can seem like a day: Psa 90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. It appears that God's creation day's were 24 hours long: Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. |

OLAADEGBU:Lol bro He "MADE AGAIN" what was destroyed that He "CREATED" in the Begining. Man was Made out of the His Creation. |

OLAADEGBU: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. That was probably billions of years ago And then,(something happened that) the earth became void and without form. Sometimes about 7000 years ago, God said Let there be Light This marks the beginning of the recreation and repopulation of the earth. You will note that nowhere did God create WATER. All God did was to separate the waters from the land. Was the earth formally filled with vegetations and animals before its initial destruction? No one can say for sure. Some say that dynasurs were from that phase of the earths existence. No body can be sure. The Bible is not a science book 3 Likes |

shadeyinka: Assumptions as usual without any scientific backing. shadeyinka: Speculations of fallible sinful men. shadeyinka: Man's effort in trying to rewrite the infallible Word of God to suit the words of fallible sinful men. shadeyinka: Read Genesis 1:1 again but this time without the evolutionist spectacles. shadeyinka: This is begging the question. shadeyinka: God means what He recorded and recorded what He meant. It is you that is confusing yourself with your attempt to synchronise the Word of God with the fallible words of sinful men. |

OLAADEGBU: True really true wasn't asking you to contemplate science..... I leave the mystery things of God Creation to God till when he will have me understand better..... And hold the clearer doctrine of grace faith justification and sanctification..... I wouldn't try fooling myself fighting with atheists I'd rather leave that the more learned and qualified Christians What I'm saying is that although the book of Genesis is filled with mysteries of God which one can't understand on the surface except explicit interpretation and teaching by the mighty God himself even the person of the holyspirit Besides God has made the most vital and fundamental doctrine of salvation clear I'd rather contemplate on that rather than on more veiled doctrines |

OLAADEGBU:Check my previous post and your response. You say I was reinterpreting the bible to suit the knowledge of men. I just simply referred you to the verse so that you could interpret it according to what is written Gen 1:1-8 There wasn't a recreation of the waters. There be wasn't a recreation of the earth Pls check |
Re: Does The Bible Give Clues To How Old The Earth Is? by OLAADEGBU(m): 5:15pm On Mar 10, 2018 |
Ferisidowu: I get your point my brother, but most if not all of the biblical doctrines we believe and teach today have their foundation in chapters 1 to 11 of the book of Genesis. Especially the historical events of creation are clearly spelt out for our understanding and I see no reason why we as Christians should fall into the same lie that the devil used to deceive Eve who's intention is to make us doubt, deny and disobey God's infallible and inerrant Word because we want to please sinful fallible men. |

Concerning the creation, I believe God created the things on earth in 6 (literary )days Adams age is a testament to that. Adam was a full grown man when God created him. Meaning God didn't follow the natural order when he created things. The laws of nature took over after God rested. Science on the other hand follows the laws of nature and the attendant mathematical permutation which is a limitation in itself. What we know is that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and it suffices a believer. Focus more on salvation in Christ. Faith, sanctification and other soul winning and building twachings. |

I think no one's hypocracy is as big as the atheist's .you guys believe in Science now because you want to use it to discredit the Bible. But when when Scientists claimed the Ark of Noah has been discovered at the same spot the Bible said it landed on Mount Ararat in Turkey in the same measurement, you said its a scam, You cant bring yourselves to ask how on earth a thing of that Manitude got to a place as High as that. Artifacts of the Red Sea Crossing found right at the area of the Crossing, you claim its a lie. I think Archaeologists are Scientists also. Abi they are not. Why are those discoveries lies and the scientific time of Creation true. You only believe Scientifical findings that help you attack the Bible the ones that validates its claims are Discarded by you and tagged Scams. Back to the issue of the Beginning of Creation. The Bibles say in the beginning God said let us make a man in our own image. The idea of making a man came at a time and the creation started at another time. So When He said let us make... could be a billion years or more apart to the time the creation of man began. He began creating a place habitable for man in the beginning which could be that 4billion years Science Claims. But the time of making man after He has seen that everything that man needs are in place was 6000 years back. Creating a thing like the world is not joke a reasonable mind knows that. For everything to work together for the good of man. so if it was done for 4billion Man years What a big deal is that Mind you it is in our eyes that Four billion years look so vast and big because of our level as humans. Its like talking about a year or two in the presence of a mosquito with a week life span . So to God and His Angels your four billion years would be like a few years. I am an Artist by profession and I have found myself many times conceive an idea to make an Art Work that I never executed until several months. I might be doing other things that the Idea will live on. The day I conceived it is different from the day I executed it but I've been busy doing other things that wld make the idea stand the test of time after execution. The beginning of that Art piece was the I started creating the platform that it would live on. In short is it a bad idea to say God created the world 4 billion years ago and created man 6000 years ago. All science can see and prove is when He created the world it can not know why He delayed the creation of man till 6000 years ago. |

tamethem: It is the so called evolutionists that claim that it is absurd for there to be a man-goat but that it is science to have an ape-man. tamethem: Who was God speaking to when He said, "Let us make man in our image"? tamethem: Were you there to observe that creation took place 4 billion years ago? tamethem: Where did you read it that the world was created 4 billion years ago? tamethem: It is irrational, unreasonable and illogical for you to think that the Almighty God created the world 4 billion years ago before He created man. |

OLAADEGBU: I don't understand your argument. I am not the one claiming that the world was created 4billion years ago. One of NL atheists claims science says so. So all I am trying to prove is that even if the Claim of science is true it doesn't mean that it is strong enough to defeat the Creation Story of the Bible. Hope you get my point |
Re: Does The Bible Give Clues To How Old The Earth Is? by OLAADEGBU(m): 7:04pm On Mar 12, 2018 |
tamethem: All I could get from your post is you trying to justify why the universe and earth could be 4 billion years old. Correct me if I'm wrong. |

[quote author=OLAADEGBU post=65774303]the duration between the the heaven , earth and Adam was not revealed. We shouldn't go overboard, that was how Satan got eve. Meanwhile I debunk the theory that Adam was not the first man. The bible does not support such view. How can we teach and preach salvation in Christ if we don't believe in the Genesis record ?why do you think I don't believe the Genesis? |
