Shlama Chuck,
So you acknowledge that MarYah Bar Alaha (Yahweh Son of God) is Elohim with The Father and The Spirit in Genesis 1:3?
Absolutely not. That is not what I said. The Heavens (Space) and Earth were created on day one. The Heavens and Earth were empty at first. He created light after Heaven and Earth ("Let there be...")on day one. The animals were created on day five; Man was created on day six. Since we know He created animals on day five, we know that He did so also on day six, even though the word "Ashah"-"made" is used, not "bara"-"created", as it is on day 5 for the other animals in the sea, air and land , and for man on day 6. "He created all things", scripture says, so lets discard this notion that some things were "created" and other things , merely "made" out of other materials. All things, visible and invisible, were "created" by Yeshua Meshikha, God The Father and The Spirit of Holiness.
The plants were created, then, as were the stars, sun and moon and planets, etc., each on their respective days numbered in order in scripture. It does not say animals were created on day one and then formed on day five.It says they were created on day five, and so on.
I think you are making this out to be more difficult than it really is. If we come to scripture without all the baggage of man's theories and high sounding jargon about eons of geological evolution , Devonian period, Cretaceous, Jurassic, etc., over millions of years, we can get the clear uncomplicated message that a child can understand ("except you become as a little child...") and know that our God created by speaking a few words: "He commanded, and they were created."1 ?? Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
7 ?? Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.
Genesis one tells us where creation came from, how it came and how long it took to come. Not bad for a passage of 31 verses, yes?
God created the universe by speaking and in six days it was done!
Simplicity! How I love it!

Quote:So does that statement mean that we are in agreement that the Scripture declares that God created the Heaven and the Earth before the 1st day began?
Absolutely not. That is not what I said. The Heavens (Space) and Earth were created on day one. The Heavens and Earth were empty at first.
