all right well this morning I want to dig a little bit and share some things because you know there's uh I saw a couple of articles this past week new polls sabarna polls some other polls out just talking about how many people claim to be Christians in America it's almost crazy that it's like three quarters of America Claims to be Christian did y'all know that 75 to 80 80 percent claim to be Christian what's amazing about that is how many um like half 50 percent you know think homosexuality is okay so America's confused on some things uh it's what's amazing is is that you know it's like 75 80 percent of America says they're Christian but only about 48 believe that Jesus is God something wrong there with that picture right and then of course they said these numbers of course drop the younger you get the millennials their numbers dropped dramatically On Believing who Jesus is believing the Bible is the word of God why do you think that the younger the generations get the more unbelief toward God in the Bible why that grows anybody got a idea might have a little something to do with our public education system right might have something to do with the media might have something to do with the churches they go to as well right sadly we have not really educated Believers in the scriptures we've educated them in Traditions of men and doctrines of men theories and ideas of men and then a movement came along several years back you know Robert Schuler I've shared this many times Robert Schuler Bill hybels Rick Warren Joel Osteen are now the they are the ones that carry this on but it's not just in those big name churches but the entire Seeker sensitive philosophy of ministry that says let's water it down let's water down the message let's not get into anything controversial or deep or spiritual we'll save that for small groups but here's the problem with that let me just tell you the problem with that theory and I know there's a big church here in town that's their Theory okay so this is not to to say they're all bad I'm not trying to say they're all bad but you need to hear me you know now with all the different media Outlets that we have just like this little church right here our little fire and Grace Church literally we are reaching hundreds of thousands now I'm not exaggerating
- 0:03:03
hundreds of thousands of people we have reached with our messages over the last six months just in the last six months all right different subjects different topics YouTube podcasts Facebook live internet radio shows all the stuff we do now think about these bigger churches these bigger churches that have more media albums who have multiple campuses who have TV and you know TV Ministries radio Ministries right here's the thing Sunday morning or whenever it is that you come together to worship that's usually when you have the most people that attend your church in a church meeting I know I mean I can go by our church Sunday morning is it call a prayer meeting on Wednesday night we won't have half as many people and we're a small Church call something special on a Friday night or or a Sunday night oh you'll have a fraction of the congregation so what I'm getting at is it's a good theory to say we're going to water it down and not get anything controversial deep on Sunday mornings we'll save that for small groups but I'm sorry but the people who are your your biggest audience the biggest group that's going to be listening to you is going to be on Sunday morning and so what we've done is we've we we feed the masses Donuts and we'll save our you know our little meat for our little smoke groups and that's just not the way it's supposed to be you know why it's not supposed to be that way and why we should delve deeper into the scriptures and delve deeper into what the church world would deem controversial is because there are people who will tune in who are listening to us or watching and they have these questions they have these gnawing issues with Christianity that are answered in the word like we're going to answer one this morning we're going to answer a question this morning where did King's wife come from I used to think I knew that but now it makes sense all right now you're going to have to bear with me here today I've entitled this message pre-adamic creation and six day man and trust me it's not what you think well let's cover the issue of pre-adamic creation Now I'm gonna have to say that I'm not the first to come up with this anybody that has a dakes Study Bible uh from way back I remember I had a date Study Bible in the 80s I can't remember when they came I mean they're old
- 0:06:04
uh but I remember hearing reading it in the dakes study Bible back then in the notes I remember Jimmy Swaggart doing a three-part series on pre-adamic creation and basically just laying out the basic points that uh the scriptures the scriptures are pretty clear that there were civilizations cities an entire race here something went on here on the Earth before God made Adam and Eve I'm going to show you that there actually were two things that happened before God made Adam and Eve actually several all right but first let's cover this pre-adamic creation issue now one of them I'll remind one of the things that was in the dates that I'm just going to touch on right quick is the fact that when all right everybody knows when when the flood of Noah came right there's many several Generations past Adam can't remember how many generations Noah was passed Adam but um Noah knew Adam though because they lived so long right but anyway they uh you know when the population of the world was wiped out by the flood and Noah and his wife and three sons and their wives were saved by the ark um when that happened God speaks to Noah when they come off the ark and he says be fruitful multiply and replenish the Earth it's interesting that the same words are used Adam and Eve be fruitful multiply and replenish the Earth replenish okay now I know some people want to try to argue that point but I'm just saying it's interesting that the both the same term is used all right but that's not even the main point all right let's go to Genesis first and I'm going to say I don't I no longer believe in calling the Gap issue between the the gap of time between Genesis 1 1 and Genesis 1 2. I don't call it the Gap Theory anymore called The Gap fact let's let's do that all right because we've got to stop and this is a big problem in the church world we have got to stop reading into the Bible things that aren't there or taking things out that are there or ignoring them or overlooking them okay there's plenty of Clues there's plenty of evidence that something happened you know when I was discussing this and I have a friend who lives out in California now uh who's a PhD from Fuller Theological Seminary PhD reads his Bible in Hebrew and Greek only right and I had a long discussion about this over the phone and he doesn't agree with me about this but he can't give me reasons why

and he can't really answer some of my questions like if we believe that the creation was six literal days right from Genesis 1 1 to Genesis end of Genesis 2. if we believe that was six days the seventh day God rested if we believe that there's no Gap there when did Satan fall when did that Rebellion take place you have to ask that question was it on day four while God's creating the the Earth and working on the the animals and it was it day three was it day two what what day was it the the Rebellion the fall of Lucifer the Fallen Angels 130 the angels that went with him had to have taken place before Adam and Eve so everybody just say this with me that happened pre-atomy so there was pre-adamic activity right all right so if Adam any I mean if Lucifer was before his fall Satan Lucifer haleo whatever you want to call him the dragon that old serpent the devil right if his fall was before Adam and Eve right um says he was on earth when he decided to fall we're going to cover that because he said I will Ascend into heaven he wasn't in heaven right we've touched on that before he said I'll exalt my Throne which means he had a throne here and I'm sorry there's no need for a throne unless they're subjects to rule okay we'll cover all that but let's just read this Genesis chapter one first okay in the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth and the Earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters and God said let there be light and there was light and God saw the light that it was good and God divided the light from the darkness now what's interesting there is this is before the sun moon and stars have made so this is some other kind of light but we won't talk about that right now um anyway let's go to the next one I want to get into this we need to break this down because you need to understand something there are people out there that know that there are ancient civilizations ancient archeology that's much older than the 6 000 years I'm not debating the 6 000 years from Adam and Eve to us I believe that I believe the Bible bears that out I believe population growth and everything bears that out that from Adam and Eve it's been 6 000 years give or take but we have underwater cities pyramids
