In Chapter 3 of Book 2, Origen questions whether there was another world before the one that exists now, and whether this previous world was inferior, or whether there was no world at all and if there were, how did it come about. I believe that there was nothing before out world now. That God created this earth from nothing. Genesis 1:2 says "The earth was without form and void. and darkness was over the face of the deep." God is outside of time and he spoke the earth into existence. I believe that if there had been a previous world then God would have included that in the creating of our "new" world that we are now living in.
I commented on Hannah's and Darby's.
It's a very interesting concept to consider. There are many things all throughout the Bible that we will not ever fully understand, and that can result in people trying to come to conclusions that don't quite make sense. We all have looked at things in different lights.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree Ollie. I believe that God was all that existed before he created the world. We cannot know for sure but I believe that since Genesis says that there was nothing in the beginning with the Triune God, he did not create anything before he created this world.
