The Bible, Genesis & Geology (Ministry)

 The Bible, Genesis & Geology  is an Old-Earth Creationism Bible Teaching Ministry that provides instruction and study on the Ruin-Reconstruction (Gap Theory) interpretation of Genesis creation. The focus of the website emphasizes the correlations between Geological observations and Biblical Doctrine, with a concentration on the hermeneutics of Genesis 1:2.

Thesis
"The revealed Presence and Legacy of Sin in Geologic Deep-Time and the Theological Implications."

The site's core thesis postulates that observations of both a geologic Old-Earth and death in deep-time (fossils) are best explained by the Holy Bible's doctrine of sin. Specifically, that the Creation (Genesis 1:1) was corrupted by the introduction of the sin-nature into the cosmos by the rebellion of the "Anointed Cherub" &  in Earth's antiquity. The cumulative result of this act of sin is revealed by the Holy Spirit in verse Genesis 1:2 of the Bible, where the Earth is found already present as a planet within a ruined creation. The Divine creative process of the six-days that follow are a regeneration of the heavens and Earth and the creation of the world of man. Adam's sin of disobedience was responsible for the introduction of the sin-nature into the present creation.

Hermeneutics of Genesis 1:2
Here is a link to an animated video outlining and summarizing the website's core thesis: "An Introduction to the Genesis Gap Doctrine".

The "Gap" in Scripture
The website's doctrinal position deviates from the generalized description of typical "Gap Theory" proponents given on this Wiki's "Gap Theory Creationism" page in respect to the interpretations of Genesis 1:2 and Jeremiah 4:23.

It specifically refutes the majority position that Jeremiah 4:23 is a cross-reference back to Genesis 1:2 because of the common phrase, "without form, and void" used by the Spirit in both verses. Instead, it argues that Jeremiah 4:23 is actually a reference to a post-tribulation period "regeneration" of the heavens and Earth outlined by the prophet Isaiah at 65:17 prior to the one-thousand-year reign of the Lord Jesus Christ  &. It argues that the creative event of Isaiah 65:17 is the third of a total our four creations found within the Holy Bible.

Four Creations of the Bible
These four "creative" events are lasted as:

1	The Initial Creation of the "heaven and earth" &  - The Angel's World. Time frame: "In the beginning"

2	The First Regeneration of the "heavens and the earth" &  - Man's World. Time frame: About 6,000 years ago

3	The Second Regeneration of the "heavens and earth" - The Kingdom World. Time frame: Following the Great Tribulation and before the one-thousand years reign of the Lord Jesus Christ upon the Earth.

4	The new Heaven and new Earth of Eternity - The Eternal World.
