OK you are saying the same thing I said the 2 shall become one flesh, and yes, the 2 become one flesh during the sexual union. Lets go one-step feather if as Adam and Eve were of the same race it is imposable for them to have children of different races than theres.
Does Keith B mean "Keith Baloney"? Your whole thread is nothing but nonsense.

They procreated the human race, but which specific race is obviously debatable.

They procreated the human race, but which specific race is obviously debatable.
Which specific race is not a debate but a good chance to have an open discission about what the bible says; which is what I have been hoping for and may have just found. Let's go to our Fathers word and see what He says.
On the 6th day Genesis 1:26 God say let us create man in our own image both male and female and tells them that they are going to have And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.


Genesis chapter 2 day 7 God rested. Then He looked and there was not a man to till the ground. So he forms Adam and He makes Adam the tiller of the ground. As the tiller of the ground he “Adam” needs a garden, so God puts him in the Garden of Eden. Lets pick it up with verse 18.


Adam Names the Animals


18And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 19And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 20And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.


Beast of the field: the farm animals, cows, sheep, etc. The fowl of the air, ducks, chickens, etc. again farm animals. After all this there was still no mate for Adam. So God puts Adam into a deep sleep and takes a rib. Lets look at this word rib: 6765 Strong's A rib as curved from the body. Today we have the Helix curve or DNA could this have been what God took; Just a thought. No matter what God took a part of Adam and made Eve. This is just another reason that I believe Adam and Eve where not part of the 6th day creation. The were set apart for a specific reason. They were to be the race through which Jesus would come. Eve to be even more specific.


Genesis chapter 5 gives us the generations from Adam to Noah there are a few very interesting things here.


Before we get into this God is very specific about the generations and who came from where, He starts with the first born of each generation. With that in mind lets take a look at Adams generations:


3And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:4And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: 5And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.


Verse 3 says Adams first born was Seth; Did God make a mistake coming right out of the gate? Simple answer is no. Then why Seth? In order to be listed you had to have had children I.E. a son. What about Able? We know that he was killed by his brother before he had children so he had no generations. Then we come to Cain very different story but for now lets just say he was not part of Adams line. You can find his generations listen in a brief description in chapter 4 of Genesis.


Lets pick this back up we can follow Adam to Noah. In Genesis 6 9These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. 10And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.


Then we have the flood. We have Noah and his 3 sons and we can follow their line to Abraham. It is from Abraham that we get Issac. From Issac we get the 12 tribes of Israel and then Jesus from the tribe of Judea.
Let me know just what you thank

Linguistically that's true, and the immediate context that determines the local meaning of "Yowm".

Now what do you think THAT has to do with the Gen 1:1, Gen 1:2 issue???
Are we talking man's day or the Lords Day? There was no man there, so I would say it was a Lords Day which is as a thousand years with man. That is still true today; The Lord's Day is the millennium a thousand years, and it is spoken of throughout the bible.
New International Version
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

New Living Translation
But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.

English Standard Version
But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Berean Standard Bible
Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

Berean Literal Bible
But beloved, do not let this one thing be hidden from you, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.

King James Bible
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

I am not good at posting long posts, I get to many words try to redo things and make a bigger mess.
It would help if you previewed your message before sending, because as it is, your formatting has a lot of gaps which
makes it more difficult to read, aside from the length being daunting to begin with. "Preview" is right beside "Post reply"


If you find that you cannot make the post more condensed with normal breaks and spacing between paragraphs, try
the icon above the message box to the extreme right, which looks like a cog. That shows you all the code, which you
should not mess with (!!!) but also allows you to make some changes that your html may not otherwise allow.


You can experiment a little a delete a post if it doesn't work out right. You have a five minute edit window, so checking
everything before sending is the best option because having a lot to correct in a short time is often not feasible.

We seam to be on the same page here let me ask you a question. First earth age; Genius 1:1 we find in Job where God asks Job where were you when all the sons of God shouted for joy?


Verses copied from biblehub.com


Job 38:1Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,


2Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?


3Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.


4Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.


5Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?


6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;


7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?






Question #1 Job 38:Verse 7; New International Version
while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?
New Living Translation
as the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy King James Version
When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?


Please anybody and everybody add your thoughts; I am not trying to start a doctrinal war here but an open discussion and bible study of these things.


I Keith thank that Job, and every other soul that ever was, is now, or ever will be were with God at that time. I also believe the Ark Angles, the Cherubim, and the other heavenly creatures where their; all of them singing together shouting for joy, they were having a good ol time. Even Lucifer (Satan) all dwelling in heaven in spiritual bodies. No flesh, for flesh and blood can not inherit the Kingdom of God.


Question 2. Just what was happening on the earth during this time that Peter calls the age that was?


2nd Peter 3: 5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.


In the world that was; that first earth age that is spoken of in Genius 1:1 when all the sons of God shouted for Joy just what was going on; on the earth?


Lets stay with Job 40:15Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.


God made this behemoth while Job was with Him along with each of us. Why do we nor remember any of this? God has put us here on earth born of woman with no memory of the past so that we can prove our selves to be faithful to God here in this earth age, so that we can freely chose between God and Satan.


16Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.


17He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.


18His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.


19He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.


20Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.


21He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.


22The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.


23Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.


24He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.


Yes I am saying that there were dinosaurs here on earth. Yes I am saying that there was a long time period between Verse 1 and 2 of Genius chapter 1. Some call it the gap theory; I just call it the plain truth.


I have been to the New York museum of natural history, I have been to D.C. and seen the Smithsonian museum. You should take a look at the new Dino Hall. I have also been to the Tar Pits in La Brea CA. Look these places up see what they have to offer you in the way of history. One place I have not been but have read about is the Ark in Kentucky they clam to have dinosaurs on Noah's Ark I do not believe that to be biblical. When God created this earth age we live in He did not bring them back.


Point being that their was a lot that went on during that time period between Verses 1:1 and 1:3



Now the earth

The earth has 4 major layers parts etc. The top or first is called the crust, second is called the mantle, the third the outer core and forth the inner core. Here in verse 2 we are only talking about the crust; land, country, ETC. We are not talking about the earth in its entirety.


God took that top layer the entire top of the globe the world and wiped it clean so that he could start this earth age which we see created in Genesis 1:3- 31 and even into chapter 2. There was no man to till the ground so God formed Adam we see everything Adam did and then we come to Gods final peace of the creation of this earth age. 2:21-25 The creation of Eve.

How many breeds of dogs are there today? Did all those different breeds board the Ark that Moses built or were all those breeds embedded into the dna of that first pair of male and female of its kind. Same is true with Adam and Eve. God made them complete with the dna of the whole world, all the nations, all the races. I have heard it taught that Noah's bloodline back to Adam and Eve was perfect, being called righteous, thus his sons also had a percentage of that same perfect dna.

Genesis 1:1


In the Beginning





All verses will be copied and pasted from BibleHub.com as well as some things from the Strong's Concordance.





What we want to find out is when was that beginning. Was it approximately 6000 years ago or could it have been millions of years. Many Christians (dare I say 99%) will tell you the earth is about 6000 years old. Why? Because that is what they have been taught in Bible Collage, Sunday school, church, small groups etc; But is this the real truth of the Bible or are we being taught a lie by the very people we trust to teach us the truth? Either way you should be able to have been trained up so that you can be like the Bereans in Acts 17:10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.


Are you as noble as the Bereans and listen to the teachings of your Church, fellowship, bible classes, Etc. but then go home and make sure what you were taught is the truth and line up with the teachings of the bible or are you like the people of Thessalonica and do not know the truth and when you hear it,you run the people speaking it off by telling them that their ideas are to far out there and you are welcome to stay but you have to set in church and keep your mouth closed and your ideas to your self because they are just to far out there.





Lets start with 2nd Peter 3:3-7


3Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.





Verse 3 Know this first, right off bat: There shall come, it does not say there may be, or their might be scoffers in the last days walking after their own lusts, you could add their doctrine, teachings, Etc. NO it says there will be scoffers.


Verse 4. Just what are they saying? “The world has been a mess from the beginning until know there is nothing new under the sun.


Verse 5. These people are not just “ignorant” unlearned, or do not have the capability or skills to understand they are willing or just want to be ignorant of Gods word. Please remember these are not my word but God's words written by the hand of Peter.


Verse 6. What are they willingly ignorant about: The world “ earth, sky, atmosphere, that then was.” The first earth age Genesis 1:1&2 it became void and without form it perished; God completely wiped out the entire earth (we will cover that later in this study with the meanings in Hebrew, Greek, and English)


Verse 7 the second earth age the one we live in today and will until God puts and end to it and sets up the 3rd and eternal earth age and that happens when Jesus returns and sets up the millennial kingdom here on earth and then God will bring His throne here to earth to judge the people from the book of life.
