>>>I do NOT dispute the first creation age at all. I absolutely believe it. God created it, it literally went to H*ll when Satan rebelled and was kicked out of His heavenly position. The earth reaped the complete destruction that Satan brought to it. God destroyed it and began again. But Before He began again, He had a plan for this man, Adam that He was going to create. “From the foundation of the world” and “Before the foundation of the world”. That was when the earth was RECREATED, not created.<<<
Then why are you arguing as though you don’t believe in a first creation age? That is what Christ was referring to.
When He said, “For God so loved the world” - past tense - He was referring to the first creation age. The Greek grammar is that of an aorist verb. This means it is speaking of a specific event - the first creation age.
I didn’t realize I WAS arguing as though I didn’t believe in a first creation age. I understand what you’re saying “for God so loved the world” meaning the first creation. I was thinking of the RE-creation that He was talking about. Before THAT re-created world was begun, He had already planned what this re-created world would be comprised of. Mankind. And He had a plan for mankind before He created them or the world they were going to occupy. I meant no harm.
