    Thank you for providing that verse. In Exodus 20:11, did the Lord "make" or "create" in six days? Your verse says made, which is the Hebrew word, asa. The word for create is an entirely different word, bara. Thank you for making my point.

    Young Earth or Old?

    It is no more creation than when I turn on the lights in a room. Everything that was necessary for light was already created in Genesis 1:1. In the beginning. Since the earth became without form and void, God had to repair it. Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and...

    Is God's love unconditional?

    Although feelings are real and we have them because God gave us that capacity. Feelings are not a guarantee of truth. Feelings are not truth, truth is truth. God's word is truth. Jhn 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

    Young Earth or Old?

    It does not take a Phd in Theology to look up the meaning of the word "was" in a concordance. It clearly indicates that something came to pass. It became without form and void. God did not create a mess that He had to spent six days fixing. All Gods works are good, including the original act...

    Young Earth or Old?

    God uses the word "create" in how many verses in Genesis 1? Why don't you count them? If God created in every act in Genesis 1, my question is why didn't God say create to describe every act He did in Genesis 1?

    NO. God did not have to create light. No more than you create light when you turn on a lamp, or light a candle

    Young Earth or Old?

    That's right! God did not have to create anything for light to happen. He spoke and light happened. God accurately told us how light happened and how it did not happen. He did not create light, therefore, He did not say, "and God created light" but rather, God accurately described what He...

    Why not reply to my questions? Why not? Are my questions too hard for you? Too much evidence and logic for you?

    Did God create it? God did not say He created it. He simply spoke. If I ask you to turn on an electric lamp and you do it and light appears, are you going to claim you "created" light? I would hope not. Humans do not create, only God can create. Everything needed for the lamp to emit light...

    Young Earth or Old?

    I agree. If we look closely at the six days, not of creation, but of restoration, we see that the actual act of creation did not occur everyday in those six days. If we correctly conclude that scripture is authored by God and God alone, we can certainly conclude that God knows what He did and...

    Is God's love unconditional?

    Seems you and I are on the same page. Yes, God is willing and able to his goodness because of His love to all, but not all are willing recipients of God's goodness.

    Is God's love unconditional?

    Thank you. I had not thought of it in that way. To me that is a reasonable viewpoint. You point out that God is not a respector of persons. That is true. God states that clearly. Thank you.

    Is God's love unconditional?

    Along the lines of my previous thread, there are expressions that we seem to accept as true, but can they genuinely be supported by scripture? One of the popular, maybe mainstream thoughts, is that God's love is unconditional. If that were true, then we would expect to see the results of...
