The Bible is the Word of God in print, all of it. Therefore “all scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training for righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work” 2Timothy 3:16

Jesus Christ is the Word, the Word was with God, and the word was God, see John 1:1 The bible is the living Word of God in print. In that printed word (also known as scripture) we are admonished to “Prove All Things, Hold Fast To That Which Is Good” – 1Thessalonians 5:21…It looks like you have some proving to do Mr Hays, for you seem to be holding on to ‘the wrong things’, things that lead you to error in your understanding of what is good. “Therefore God sends upon them strong delusion, to make them believe what is false, so that they may be condemned who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” – 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12.

Never did I say that God created anything less than perfect, that’s the problem with today’s fast-food-religion, if it doesn’t fit your personal taste…then simply move on to something more fattening. “For they are a rebellious people, lying sons, sons who will not hear the instruction of the Lord; who say to the seers, “See not” and to the prophets, “Prophecy not to us what is right; speak to us smooth things, prophecy illusions” Isaiah 30:10

The bible is an instruction manual for mankind. In it, we find one third of its writing pertains to Laws, if followed, they lead to productive lives, for that of the individual, or even whole nations. Then, one third of its content documents historical events, written down for our benefit so that future generations might learn from past mistakes – or from- the righteous example set down by those who came before us. Then, and probably the most important, a whole third of the bible, is given over to prophetic events that will surly take place in these end-days – for-warning us of impending disaster because of the way we live. 90% of that prophecy is for our time today.

Therefore, the bible is for and about mankind, although God has given us glimpses of what came before us, in fact, what came before anything, even the universe and the angels as my previous post describes.

When God created the Holy Righteous Angels – He did it Perfectly. What most Self-Proclaimed-Christians fail to consider, is the essential ingredient of “individual choice” – God will not force anyone to choose the good over the bad. The angels were created at one time – all of them. These perfect “beings” were then given instruction in the Laws of God. They agreed to live by every word of God and then God placed them on planet earth to test that agreement…and this…Millions, possibly even billions of Years Ago. It is very telling for you to say, the earth is only six-thousand years old, it more than demonstrates your ignorance. Furthermore, by holding on to such wrong ideas, only perpetuates a lie, keeping potential new converts from ever taking God-or-Religion seriously. Shame on you and those like you, for holding on to the doctrines of men – rather than, the pure word of God, do you have a liking for leading others down the same dead end road as you have chosen, a path that leads to destruction and death.

The angels decided, using the ‘gift of thought’ and the ‘freedom of choice’ to turn away from God. That does not make God imperfect, it makes the angels imperfect…that is, the one-third of the angels who were placed here on the earth (Revelation 12:4). God gave these angels everything they needed to do the job successfully. “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations! – Isaiah 14:12

That is also why God placed only one-third on the earth, just in case something like that were to happen. The remaining two-thirds will forever be righteous – as long as they remain in the presence of God they will not sin. After the fall of the angels, the earth became dark and void. That world was long before Mankind was created, if not, where did this Satan come from who tempted Adam and Eve. The only answer is that this tempter (The Devil) was already here, known as the former Archangel Lucifer who had been here for millions of years. Notice 2Peter 2:4-6 “For if God did not spare the angels that sinned, but cast them into prison (here on earth)and committed them to pits of nether gloom to be kept until the judgement (at Christ’s return); if God did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven other persons, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction and made them an example to those who were ungodly;” – These verses are written in sequential order of historical events. These verses show that universal sin, causes universal destruction – as evidenced by NASA Telescopes. Globe encompassing sin causes, worldwide destruction, as evidenced by the earth encompassing flood, and we know what happened to the twin cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Read Isaiah, Chapter-14 and see also Ezekiel, Chapter-28 of how God placed the archangel Lucifer (a Cherub) on a throne on the earth. It was his duty to rule the earth using the laws of God…all went well, until rebellion set in and those perfect laws of God were broken. Verse-one of Genesis chapter-One, clearly states a perfect creation. Verse two on the other hand, implies something far removed from a state of perfection. David was inspired to write how God renewed the face of the earth, “Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; and thou re-newest the face of the earth” Psalms 104:30

So from verse two (Chpt 1)in the book of Genesis, throughout the remainder of the creation account – it is talking about the renewing of the face of the earth.

The DEATH OF MAN was caused by the SIN OF MAN an act brought on by the beguiling of Eve by a fallen angel, known today as Satan the devil. Don’t tell me that you haven’t noticed the prehistoric Dinosaur Bones that have fossilized over millions, perhaps billions of years. The bible is primarily concerned with the creation of man and the world that has been recorded over the past 6000 years. There is no record in the bible, nor in secular history of dinosaurs walking with and among mankind. Your futile attempt to argue the proof away, makes you look stupid. You turn away from God, logical thinking young people over to the false idea of a theory, that of evolution.

Two cannot walk together unless they agree…so don’t call me your friend. By your stubbornness to win the argument, you actually are found to be fighting against God…I on the other hand, try to right the many wrongs of traditional thinking, found and taught in the numerous false doctrines of men about God.

You limit God to three Beings – that is WRONG. There were TWO – God and the WORD (who was also God) The Holy Spirit IS WHAT THEY ARE COMPOSED OF AND IT IS THE TOOL OF HOW THEY CREATE…THE HUMANS WHO ARE SOMEDAY REBORN INTO THEIR FAMILY, OR KINGDOM, WILL ALSO BECOME GOD BEINGS…IN NO WAY IS GOD LIMITED – READ YOUR BIBLE!

YOUR ARGUMENTS ARE A PREPOSTEROUS LIE!

According to what you wrote you have death long before the sin of man.  The Bible clearly states that death was the result of the sin of man, this is a major problem with your view.  Before man sinned there was NO death, nothing died; if it had GOD’s creation was not perfect and therefore GOD could not be perfect.

You wrote about the Father (Adonai) and the Son (Yeshua) from John 1:1 and from Genesis 1:1, but you left out the Ruach Elohim (Spirit of GOD, Holy Spirit) in Genesis 1:2.  There were Three in the beginning.

My friend, you are indeed correct about man being around 6,000 years old.  But he is only five days younger than the earth, two days younger than the sun, moon, universe, etc., one day younger than the fishes and birds and was created on the very same day as what is now referred to as dinosaurs; howbeit the mamals were created in the beginning of day six and man at the end of it.

This is what the literal reading of Genesis chapter one says.  If you disregard this account, how can you or anyone say the WORD of GOD is true?

Not billions, millions, or even 100′s of thousands, but right around 6000 years for the ALL OF IT!

Have a Blessed Day,
Shalom,
