    A "Deep" Question

    I'm tear n my hair out here (figuratively of course, I don't have a handful to grab). Good gosh man, start your own thread.

    A "Deep" Question

    Ok, you want to go that far in the text. The expanse which separated the waters from above from the waters below is called the "firmament of heaven. " This is not the heaven of 1:1. Now, by verse 6, when the firmament of heaven appears, there is God, heaven, a formless and void earth, the...

    A "Deep" Question

    Yet my question is not about the earth. And where does this definition of heaven come from the doesn't allow water in heaven? I seem to recall a river in heaven mentioned in Revelation.

    What prompts evolution? One word, mutations. Some help most don't.

    A "Deep" Question

    An example of the fruit if this assumption. I no longer believe Genesis1 explains entirely the natural world. This opens new doors of inquiry and puts me in the position of believing what seems to be a conundrum. That is I believe both accounts to be true. The only answer seems to be that they...

    A "Deep" Question

    I make the assumption so that I continue digging for a meaning that fits the narrative. The waters had a surface not the earth, which means water on one side and something else must have been on the other side I would presume.

    A "Deep" Question

    As a foundation of inquiry, yes I make the assumption there are no inconsistencies. And I hear you on the earth side of things. Except the earth appeared out of the waters and was named on the third day.

    A "Deep" Question

    Your supposing way too many things not in evidence and some things are just wrong. For example the firmament is where the sun moon and stars are, not the heaven of 1:1. A round sphere covered in water is a form. Sure God can do whatever but when there is just God, heaven and a formless Earth...

    A "Deep" Question

    So this a view that verse 1 is an introduction. In verse two then God starts the process with what's already there. Yet the deep had a surface which means it wasn't formless. What was on the side that wasn't water? And I still have a problem with finding three heavens if verse 1 is just an intro.

    A "Deep" Question

    Using the text we know a lot of things. There's God. Heaven. Earth. The deep. God created heaven and earth. Earth was seemingly an idea. The was water everywhere yet it had a surface meaning a border. God was on the side of the boundary that was not water. You see. There is a lot to discern...

    A "Deep" Question

    Ok, where did the solar system come from. Not verse 1 and 2. Your formless analogy. Of course something covered in water has a form. I don't see that as being applicable. Desolate? It was void. That's a different meaning. Plus that's the earth. Dark and light came later. Cloud cover. You...

    A "Deep" Question

    You misunderstand. I asked a very specific question and got general answers that may not have been addressed the topic. I hate bunny trails.

    A "Deep" Question

    Sheesh. I'm just trying to figure out how the deep got there and where it existed...using the text. I have no idea what these other guys are doing and it's my thread.

    I'm honored. Maybe the old coot will stop jaywalking across my threads.

    A "Deep" Question

    Good golly Miss Molly, the deep I say, we're talking about the deep. Are you saying the deep is the mind of God? Now dualities. We already had dualities.

    A "Deep" Question

    Trying to relate the Bilical world to the natural world in this manner is fruitless. It's a conundrum at best. You might be better off suggesting that for brief periods of the universe that God's universe coincided with ours and then separated. Today in his universe he tells Himself (who else is...

    A "Deep" Question

    Its not confusing. It's irrelevant. The deep, was it part of heaven, earth or both? Try and keep it to a paragraph or two if possible. :)

    A "Deep" Question

    All nice points but can we stick to Genesis1? Pretty please.

    A "Deep" Question

    I don't even know where to begin here. How bout we stick to the deep and it's relationship to verse 1.
