By use of the word "beginning" means that something existed before, like possibly the universe. There seems to be something existing prior to day one, what, who knows, but trying to lump the entire creation along with day one in my view is an error simply by the use of words that preceded day...

Where does the Bible say or infer the UNIVERSE is 6000 yrs old? You're also making assumptions of how long the 1st 3 days were. The sun and moon came to be on day 4 which then were used to determine days, etc. And the beginning had already been created prior to day one on which light was created...

Goodbye

Send him a private message and inquire about it.

Are you his official spokesman? What do you know??? Not much!

You're missing the point, being the "beginning" was already created before day one not as part of day one.

Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning" - what does this really mean? "1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." God says exactly what he means and means exactly what he says, and his use of even the simplest of words cannot be overlooked, assumed, or taken for granted without careful...

Here's the essence of a post of mine from a different thread that addresses the common misunderstanding of Paul not being sent to baptize as taken from 1 Cor 1:17. Paul did baptize some, but his primary effort was to preach the word . Apollos apparently did most of the physical baptizing, when...

Cornelius' conversion wasn't different, a conversion is being converted to Christ; believing in him, then being obedient to that good news you heard and believed, subsequently resulting in repentance and being baptized into the body of Christ. That obviously did happen, similarly to the...

Baptism is not "law". Where did you get that idea?

You're not understanding baptism and the reason and necessity of it. Very clearly, baptism is NOT because of the remission or sins going back to John's baptism. Acts 22:16 16And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

Most don't understand a lot of things not just on this issue but many scriptural issues

You are at odds with scripture 1 Peter 3:21 21The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Acts 22:16 16And now why tarriest thou? arise...

As I have stated many times before here a d elsewhere, there are only 2 recorded instances of the Holy Spirit failing unilaterally without the laying on of the apostle's hands; Acts 2 on the apostles themselves, and Acts 10 on Cornelius, a d in both cases it was as a sign from on high that it...

The people that spend their lives looking hidden messages in the bible, "bible codes", are missing the blatantly obvious message of the bible: to seek and save the lost.

And how is that? By watching real time and reacting because he can't see into the future and is bound by the same time line that binds us (which thing"time", he created by the way)? Goodbye, believe what you like.

It's a matter of record for readers of the scriptures. It doesn't mean God didn't know in advance. If God was simply reacting to events, how do explain all the scriptures relating to prophesy? God would not be an all knowing God and things would in fact therefore be hidden from him. Makes no...

What does this mean? That God did not know in advance they would repent, or that God was ignorant and didn't know and therefore was reactive to what they did?

Yeah, sure. That's ridiculous.

All those presented that relates to God's omniscience as well as those pertaining to his foreknowledge. Unless you're suggesting that God doesn't know the future and is as dumb as we are and simply reacts, which is absurd.
