Did other people inhabit the earth before we did?

Can you give the the chapters where they talk about people before Adam and Eve please?

I'm sorry this was meant for rim68

2 Peter 3 King James Version (KJV)

4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep (died), all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

5 For this they willingly are ignorant (and do their BEST to KEEP one IGNORANT) of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old (A PRIOR heaven), and the earth (a PRIOR earth) standing out of the water and in the water:

6 Whereby the the world that THEN WAS, being overflowed with water, perished:

7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now(CURRENTLY), by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. (Though Heaven and earth [AGE/S], may pass away, GOD"S WORD, shall NEVER pass away)

Peter "knew", or was shown this!

It's great to have agreement. I too see the value of looking at the Hebrew language.

Can give me those verses please

Hi Preacher. I would take your post and point it back to you.

I've written this before but will state it once again; my Oxford study bible has footnotes in Genesis stating the same understanding found in the Hebrew language, that there is a gap of time between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. Plus other scriptures that reference happenings that occurred in a period of time indicating a first age. And it ended with the ice age.

Verse 35


Matthew 24 King James Version (KJV)

32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

He was talking about the flood

Speaking of end time.

It is my understanding the Hebrew word for giant has several meanings besides what we think of as giant, one being ferocious.

Theory,s as well as theory,s about theory,s were and are a dime a dozen.

Most would rather jump to a conclusion about angels having sex with humans than seek out the truth. This is as absurd as the theory satan was originally an angel.

Actually neither of those beliefs is absurd. Angels are spirit beings who can also take human form and speak human languages.

Satan was an angel: Ezek:28: 13-16
.13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
.14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
.16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
And the angel who left their heavenly dwelling did mate with women:
Jude 1: 6-7
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

I can give neither chapter or verse, must be a fantasy novel I have not read. Sorry

maybe I replied to the wrong post. Sorry.

No worries, if you find out let me know.

At least you have the adversary part right.

Because it repented Him that He had made them.

Genesis 6: 5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of
his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

Numbers 13:33 33We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.
The giants were really tall compared to regular people.
And the animals were also huge. this is why he had to destroy the world. The bible said and there were some after the flood.
They probably were all killed because we don't see any walking around today.

and yet not one person came forward with this idea until hundreds of years after Jesus.
if the passage is speaking of humans, please name a few of them.

Where does the Bible say that that's why? No where.
Also when God told Israel to possess Canaan, the Canaanites' physical sizes had nothing to do with the reason.
