>>>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.<<<

Allow me to summarize:

Breaking down the Greek grammar of "For God so loved the world" tells us that Christ was referring to "the world" as "of all humanity, but especially of believers, as the object of God's love" - A Greek- English Lexicon of the New testament and Other Christian Literature, Third Edition

The verb is aorist, meaning it is referring to a specific past event.

The only specific past event when "all humanity" could have been loved by God can only be the first creation age.

Thank you. What do you think was on the first created earth? I’ve heard many ideas, and am interested in yours.
