Question for all Christians...........?

Question

Did anything happen before God created heaven and earth in Genesis? Or is that it....the beginning?

If Adam and Eve were temped in the garden by Satan, then he must have already fallen from heaven. So, doesn't that mean that it happened before?

Answer 1

As far as we as human beings should be concerned with, the creation account in Genesis through the final chapter Revelation is given to us to reveal Redemption in Christ. It's not a total account of eternity past and future. God is eternal, therefore he existed before the creation account, just as he will exist eternally after the creation of the new heaven and new earth. Now that's not to say that nothing happened before creation or nothing will happen after the new creation, but we are given what we need to know at this time.

The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. Deut 29:29

Answer 2

We know God created the angels also. Adam and Eve in Genesis were tempted to sin by a fallen angel, Satan the old serpent and devil. It is told in the Bible that at one time Satan was the most beautiful light bearer or angel of light until Satan rebelled against
God.

Answer 3

Genesis 1:1 - In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

Answer 4

THEN, the earth BECAME void. In the KJV it says the earth was void, but God never creates anything void. In the original text the word is not "was" . The word should have been translated "became". Before this age of flesh man, YHVH God The Father created many things and many(all the) souls. The Bible refers to these souls, Gods children as stars that sang in the heaven. God also created His angles and lucifer was one of them and one of the most beautiful ones. The Bible says ol lucifer was the full pattern. Before this flesh age of man was the first age when ol lucifer got filled with pride and wanted to take over the mercy seat that he was supposed to guard. The Bible says that he drew with him 1/3 of Gods stars(Gods children) During this time the dinos walked this earth and this earth was beautiful. When satan, aka lucifer drew unto himself 1/3 of Gods souls, this angered God and God shook this earth. God could have wiped out lucifer and those souls at that time, but because of His love for His children, God told satan he was sentenced to perish and God created man in the flesh, an earthen vessel that holds the soul through this age so we all can choose to follow satan or the love of God. There is a third age also mentioned in the Bible called the eternity where all that love the Lord and His truths will live with Him forever. As for Adam and Eve being tempted, even though God did tell satan he is to perish, God allows satans evil spirit to roam this earth age of flesh man and God does allow satan to temp mankind. This flesh age is like a test to us . After the millieum, The thousand years , THE Day of The LORD, then satan will walk into that lake of fire and perish, never ever to be anymore.

Answer 5

That's an interesting question.

By my secular way of thinking, the answer would most likely be "yes." Activity, a simple change, of some kind seems to be the rule in any system given enough time. If this is true, the question of creation, the beginning of everything, could not have occurred as it is understood according to the bible since it would have had to happen out of a complete void rather than out of the "something" that God is assumed to be and God being that "something" would dictate by assumption that activity, change over time, would have been be the rule.

So ... is it true that God created everything out of a void, including himself, or that "something," god or otherwise must have preceded creation and god?

Answer 6

The Bible is God breathed, written for man. In the beginning OF TIME- God created the heavens and the earth. When God created man He gave us time. Time is for man, not God because HE is eternal. What did God do before Genesis?- I only know this- He knew our name, and was preparing for our salvation through Christ- long before the foundation of the earth.

Answer 7

Material universe happened since God had not yet created it. Though the Bible alludes to Satan's fall from grace and eventual temptation of man in the garden, there is no specfiic timeline. Since this takes place in the spiritual realm, I do not even know if it does have the issue of time and space.

Ath

Answer 8

In the beginning is it.

But, I will say more for the sake of speculation.

----God had to create the angels first before humans. He had to create other planets before earth. There are also other heavens billion, trillion miles away perhaps. God's very own dwelling place had to exist as well.

I hope this helps a tiny.

Answer 9

No! That is not the very beginning mentioned in the Bible!

The scriptures teach that Christ is God's firstborn, first created being who was the very first thing God made.

Through this pre-human Christ all the angels were created and only then was the creation of the material universe begun.

Answer 10

God was busy creating other planets and housing them with intelligent life. He looked in his bucket and noticed a lot of left over putrid sludge on the bottom. He said "waste not want not" and created the earth.
