A TREATISE on SCRIPTURAL CREATIONISM Affirming a Radical Evangelically-Based Biblical Theology of Creation Covering Three Distinct Creation Epochs

**************************


“BIBLI CAL CREATION TRUTH” differs from the traditi onal and recent controversial theories of creationism. Contrary to the prevailing confusing theories of creation, the “heavens and earth” of Genesis 1:1 were perfect (Deuteronomy 32:4) and very beautiful (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Genesis 1:1, in just one short blessed sentence, covers within its grasp the ‘totality of a perfect creation’. This fact is corroborated by Proverbs 8:22-31, narrating a primeval creation. In no way, Proverbs 8:27-31 are parallel with Genesis 1:3-31 but actually complement Genesis 1:1 with additional details. Next, Proverbs 8:27-31 does not mention chaos on the primeval earth thereby proving that the chaos of Genesis 1:2 was of a much later occurrence. Moreover, notwithstanding scripturally unjustified denial, Proverbs 8:26c-31 certainly prove that the original primal earth of Genesis 1:1 was teemed with life, including literal pre-adamic ‘sons of men’ in whom God’s Wisdom delighted. As otherwise, with the exception of those elect ones who in Christ [Deuteronomy 10:15], God would never take delight in the fallen unregenerate ‘sons of men’ at any time. Subsequent to Adam’s fall, man’s heart has been evil all along and desperately wicked [Romans 3:9-18]. Sinful fallen unregenerate ‘sons of men’, have never been and, therefore, could never be delightful but rather wholly abhorring and loathsome to a holy God [Psalms 53:1-3]. Undoubtedly, a faulty interpretation of Genesis 1:1-31 and Exodus 20:11 lies behind the ‘battle for a true view of the beginning’. If these Scriptures, along with Proverbs 8:2231, were objectively interpreted, taking into account Genesis 2:4 relating to ‘Beginnings’, it would be clear that there were two beginnings of God’s works of creation; one, in the eternity past (2 Peter 3:5), and the other, in the realm of time (2 Peter 3:7), leaving no room for any debate relating to the origins or the age of the universe.


Notwithstanding any biased opinions about the Gap Theory, in between these two historical beginnings we have sufficient Scriptural ground to account for Pre-historical PreAdamic Life on the primeval earth of Genesis 1:1; and, its subsequent destruction as is evident from Genesis 1:2 and related Scriptures, followed by a reconstruction of the chaotic earth and restoration of life on it in six days [Genesis 1:3-31]. Scriptures as well as geological findings provide sufficient basis to formulate Pre-historical Pre-Adamic Theology. Accordingly, the controversial Gap Theory based on the ignored <Gap> between Genesis 1:1 and 1:3 can be conveniently replaced by relevant Biblical Gap Theology as is confidently and convincingly attempted in this maiden treatise. The current debates relating to the ages of the universe or of the earth are, undoubtedly, futile exercises displaying gross human ignorance through guesses which are but fruits of sinful intellectual vanity. God emphatically says ‘no man can ever really find out about His works’ [Ecclesiastes 3:11]; or, about the nature of origins, or about the age and composition of the universe. As such, all human effort to probe into the unseen is a sheer exercise in futility! No wonder fallible human theories based on mere speculation keep on mutating! It’s time we admit our failure to consider all the Scriptures relating to creation and interpret the biblical creation accounts appropriately! And next, with faith, come to grips with the revealed Biblical Creation Truth, for ‘His Name’s sake’; even as we look forward to the creation of new heavens and a new earth in the etemity future (2 Peter 3:13). Obviously, the new heavens and earth will not be ‘created’ through the course of billions of years of some vague evolutionary processes, nor in six days, but almost instantly by fiat! The prophesied future instant creation of new heavens and earth should rule out, once for all, past creation of the original heavens and earth of Genesis 1:1 and Proverbs 8:22-31 in six days as is erroneously believed and taught contrary to Biblical and Natural Revelation by the Traditional and the more recent Young Earth Six-Day Creationists. Similarly, an instant creation of new heavens and a new earth should rule out any imaginary scientifically unfounded ‘evolution’ of the present heavens and earth through billions of years as is zealously taught by the high priests of the “Goddess of Chance” and Mythical Atheistic Evolutioism. Subsequently, we need to reject all Christianized versions of evolution such as ‘Creation and Evolution’ prompted by Neo-Darwinian Evolutionary Concepts reverently believed and taught by the so-called Theistic Roman Catholic Moderate Evolutionists [cf. Pope Benedict; see also Evolution and the Pope] as well as by the Protestant-Evangelical and Other Brands of Theistic Evolutionists.


The recent versatile versions of theistic evolution are vigorously defended by their protagonists in spite of the lack of relevant biblical and scientific evidence; and, in spite of the abysmally abject and annoying Failure of the Theories of Evolution to Account for the Miracle of Life as well as to Account for the Existence of Human Intelligence.

************************************************************************************


BIBLICAL CREATION TRUTH {Copyright@2012} Biblical Creation Truth is presented herein in THREE PARTS. Each PART covers relevant topics from different angles. As such, biblically significant material has been deliberately repeated so as to stress upon those biblical facts relating to creation that have been heretofore somehow overlooked if not ignored. PART ONE deals with Atheistic Evolution v/s Biblical Creation Truth. It upholds the supremacy of Biblical Authority over and against all fallible vague human theories. Subsequently, the decaying rotten root of the Evolutionary Tree is clearly exposed and the Atheistic Theory of Evolution which “contradicts at every turn by the empirical evidence of science itself” (see Norman C. Nevin, op. cit., p. 219) is debunked. PART TWO deals with God’s Works of Physical Creation covering three distinct periods. Against this background, the weaknesses of the Traditional Six-Day Creationism are exposed to show its biblical and scientific inaccuracy. Next, the fallacy of “smuggling“ evolutionary concepts into the Bible by the Theistic Evolutionists (http://www.gci.org/co/evolution; http://www.gci.org/bible/genesis1; http://www.gci. org/ book/ theistic.evolution/; http://www.gotquestions.org/theistic-evolution.html) is next addressed here in Theistic Evolution. Should biblically-committed Christians embrace the Atheistic Theory of Evolution ? The logical and scientific response is an unequivocal NO! [http://www.creationtips.com/evoluwrong.html] PART THREE covers all the THREE PHASES of God’s physical works in detail. PHASE ONE deals with the creation of the angelic host followed by the creation of heavens and earth in the dateless past [Genesis 1:1]. The fact that Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 are mutually exclusive accounts in spite of the muchdebated grammatical connection between these two verses is explained. {For a detailed, clear and convincing explanation by Jack W. Langford, click and read :> APPENDIX-A and APPENDIX-B}. Next, appeal is made to Proverbs 8:27-31 as this unique passage com- plements Genesis 1:1 with clear additional details. This Section explains how Proverbs 8:26c 31 prove that the original primeval earth of Genesis 1:1 was then actually teemed with PREADAMIC LIFE including pre-Adamic ‘sons of men’ in whom the “WISDOM of GOD” delighted, before they sinned, of course. This may sound heretical but it is purely a biblical fact, nonetheless!


The fact that God never took delight in any group of sinful men, barring a few elect, at any time after Adam’s fall (Romans 1:18-32), is emphasized. Next, BIBLICAL GAP THEOLOGY has been propounded in which the existence of pre-historical men prior to Adam is ascertained based solely upon the exegesis of Proverbs 8:31b, without relying upon any fossil evidence. Objections against the controversial Biblical Gap between the events of Genesis 1:1 and 1:3 are dealt with and the same are convincingly refuted. PHASE TWO comprising TRUE BIBLICAL SIX-DAY CREATIONISM is next dealt with. The typological and prophetic significance is highlighted, pointing to God’s works of spiritual redemption in the course of six millennial days under Satan’s rule on earth. (See APPENDIX-C and APPENDIX-D). Subsequently, the establishment of God’s Kingdom on earth during the Millennial Sabbath is explained. PHASE THREE covers prophesied creation of new heavens and earth. The new creation is not by evolution nor in six days; perhaps instantly, but certainly not in the course of billions of years. This core biblical fact should rule out any past imaginary ‘creation by evolution’ in the course of ‘billions of years. Human Destiny is to be spiritually saved by being spiritually ‘Born Again’, and become a New Creation in Christ. Man’s immediate spiritual need is to know how one can be saved and become a true Christian. As such, the book concludes with a theologically significant EPILOGUE with an evangelical focus. The genuinely repentant Believer’s new Spiritual Creation in Christ after God’s own Image and Likeness is briefly addressed herein. Ultimately, Man’s Sublime Position in Christ is the epitome of God’s purpose for creating the physical Man after His own Image and Likeness. This fact, in itself, rules out any imaginary evolutionary descent of man from some ‘mythical common ancestor’. [http://www. articlesbase.com/a-new-creation-in-christ.html].

About the AUTHOR Joaozinho da S. F. A. Martins, a native of Orlim, Salcete, Goa, India has no theological laurels to his credit. His maiden research into the subject of Biblical Creation has been mainly stimulated by an Article captioned: “Creation and Evolution” that appeared in the March-April 2009 issue of Christian Odyssey, a bi-monthly magazine published by Grace Communion International, USA. [www.gci.org] Biblical Creation Truth, as such, is the product of his tentative research. Biblical Creation Truth highlights or focuses on the Three Phases or Epochs of Creation based on the creation accounts in the Bible. This has been, all along, remained unaddressed by the Creationists or Theologians concerned”, states the Author. Moreover, the controversial Gap Theory is convincingly replaced by him with “Biblical Gap Theology” — a novel theological term coined by the Author to account for “pre-historical, pre-Adamic life on earth” as is revealed in the Holy Scriptures and, in a way, as substantiated by the geological fossil evidence found in the “Book of Stonne”. The Author claims no scholarly and academic expertise or authority relating to Scriptural Creationism. He states: “Frankly speaking, what is required in expounding biblical truth revealed in the Scriptures is absolute guidance and discerning spiritual enlightenment from the Above more than any special scholastic or academic expertise. The material in the book is based upon Biblical Revelation which is Authoritative in itself.” At the same time, Martins is quick to admit that human understanding and interpretation of the Holy Scriptures is bound to be biased if one is not on guard, prayerfully; as such, he says he is open to “correction based upon unbiased, biblicallyappropriate reliable feedback.” Concerned readers are welcome to send their feedback by using the Author Contact Form or by directly eMailing to him at: jdasfmartins@yahoo.com ===============================================================
