Talk:Debate:Should the first story of creation be read allegorically or literally? (view source)
Revision as of 20:37, June 28, 2007
, 20:37, June 28, 2007Must include other verses to see sense of literal interpretation
If you take into account Second Peter chapter 3 and consider that the first earth is the one that became 'without form and void,' then this 'second earth,' as he calls it, is the one God restored in the first chapter of Genesis.
I don't see how you can take Genesis literally on its own without allowing other verses (Second Peter, Isaiah, etc.) to more fully explain exactly what occured.
