![]() The Hebrew construction for "without form, and void" (tohu vâvohu) is only found one other place in the Bible, Jeremiah 4:23. "Without form, and void" describes the desolate yet unfinished condition of the earth. Genesis 1:2 is simply describing the state of the earth in the very beginning of the creation of God on that first day (Genesis 1:5). Scripture, of course, teaches no such thing (Proverbs 30:5-6). He finds an indefinite amount of time ("we have no indication of the time element between these two verses") with a worldwide flood that changed everything ("That beautiful creation of verse 1 has been changed"). ( Feldick finds much in the white space between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. Why would God make so big an issue of not ever destroying the world again in this manner? Because He made this covenant with Noah, following the second worldwide flood which destroyed all life. This may be an explanation of why God told Noah in Genesis 9:13,15: "I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. A flood condition existed over the entire face of the planet. "without form, void, covered with water, and enveloped in darkness." That beautiful creation of verse 1 has been changed into something. If God, in verse 1, created the earth beautiful and perfect, (we have no indication of the time element between these two verses) and now, in verse 2 it's less than that, it's obvious that something drastic has happened. That hardly sounds perfect and beautiful. Throughout Chapter 1 of Genesis, we see that as God made things, He inspected them and recorded that "it was good." Yet, when we come to verse 2 of this Chapter we read: "And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep." God can't create something that isn't perfect and good. We talked about how the Hebrew word "Barah" indicates not only creation, but perfect, beautiful creation. Last time we talked about Christ's being the Person of the Godhead who called everything into being. ( So, evidently the following quotes are a compilation of Les and those in his ministry.įeldick and his ministry have fallen prey to the "gap theory" lie. This process is explained here so that the readers will not think that Les Feldick provided each of these specific answers when asked each of these specific questions. Care has been taken to confirm that the selected passages properly address each question for which they are provided as the answer. Additional editing was then provided by some of Les Feldick's other Bible students. ![]() The questions that are answered in this book were written by Paul Hartley, who also assembled the answers to the questions by gathering passages from Les Feldick's books which address each of the questions. The program transcripts have been assembled into books of twelve transcripts each, and there are now 50 books and counting. Les Feldick has recorded more that 600 Bible teaching television programs. We say his ministry, because the following quotes have been taken from the book entitled, Questions and Answers from the Bible, and it is stated that it is "by Les Feldick," but later near the end of the web page this statement is found: Feldick's and his ministry's version of "teaching the Bible" in reality is "teaching lies." This is well illustrated via the examples below of his ministry's lies from his website.
