A Pre-Adamic World?

There is a theory currently held by some conservative biblical scholars and many evangelical Christians known as the gap theory.  The theory posits a gap of time between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2.  Essentially, the theory proposes that Genesis 1:1 presents the original creation of the universe.  There then followed a lengthy period of thousands, or even millions of years.  It is believed that the initial cosmos was then destroyed and thrown into chaos.  Genesis 1:2 presents the beginning of a re-creation and reconstruction process.  Proponents of the theory assert that  the words “the earth was without form and void” should be rendered “became without form and void.”  Often the argument is offered that God would not create something formless and void, i.e., chaotic.

The Eternal God

“For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit…” (Isaiah 57:15).,

One of the names of God revealed in the Bible is El Olam (Genesis 21:33).  It is not a common name, but it does have great significance.  It essentially means “God the Everlasting One.”  It refers to the eternal nature of God, who exists beyond the constraints of time.  The Hebrew word olam literally refers to something concealed, hidden, or vanishing.  It is a picture of eternal duration.  You look back into the past until history vanishes, and God is there.  You look into the future until existence is hidden from view, and God is there.  The Psalmist speaks of this everlasting nature of God in Psalm 90:2.  You could render this verse, “from vanishing point to vanishing power, you are God.”  There is no end to the scope of God’s being.

By Their Fruit…

Question: How can you tell if someone is truly a Christian or not?  Are there things that demonstrate a person’s spiritual condition?  Also, if you see someone living a very immoral lifestyle, contrary to the Scriptures, is it wrong to assume they are not a Christian?  Or is that just judging?

My Answer: Good questions.  In a culture that is infatuated with “tolerance” and acceptance of every lifestyle and belief system, it seems harsh to state that any certain person is not a Christian.  Indeed, if you say that about someone, you very likely will be accused of being judgmental and mean-spirited.  As always, the Bible itself provides the best answers.
