Obediently, good morning and welcome to the community!
This is a pretty open community, we have Christians from various backgrounds and denominations. As always, there will always be disagreement, but let’s try to work through it.
I wanted to touch on something you said.
I wrote a brief summary on Romans 5:12, but Eve was the first to sin, not Adam, and then we have to read verse 13. Another verse that gets tied in here in Acts 17:26, I wrote a study about that which will be beneficial.
I think Mr. Zac is referring to “the world that then was” spoken of in 2 Peter 3:6. It’s thought that verse refers to Genesis 1:2. I always had a problem with the common idea that God created the world a disaster, only to later make it beautiful.
I mean, why not just create it right the first time? To put the thought into perspective. Have you ever seen a carpenter build a house that was a disaster, only to start over and do it right the second time?
I have a study on this topic that may help…
