Question: Is there any scripture to say that Christ did not become a man?
Answer: Christ was the Son “in the bosom of the Father” (John 1:1818No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. (John 1:18)), and “that Eternal Life which was with the Father” (1 John 1:1-31That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 3That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. (1 John 1:1‑3)), and was manifested to us. He was the Eternal Son of God.
Both Old and New Testaments conclusively affirm that from His birth into this world, He was God and Man in one person here on earth, He is now God and Man in glory, and will ever be God and Man.
Question: What was the length of the “day” in Genesis 1?
Answer: We understand the word “day” in the first chapter of Genesis to mean simply our ordinary 24 hours; and we do not consider it scriptural to believe that each of these days may include a long period of time. But we must remember that, between the first verse of Genesis 1, and the commencement of the actual six days’ work, millions of years may have intervened, leaving ample room, most surely, for all the facts of geology.
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Then we are told, “the earth” —not the heavens— “was without form and void.”
We are not told how long this was after it was created, nor how it fell into this state; but most surely, God had not so created it. And then begins the record of the six days in which God prepared the earth for man to dwell upon.
It is not the object of the Bible to teach us geology or astronomy, but we may rest assured that there is not a single sentence in that divine volume which collides with the facts of geology, or any other science.
We must, however, draw a very broad line of distinction between the facts of science, and the conclusions of scientific men. Facts are facts wherever you find them; but if you follow the conclusions of men, you may find yourself plunged into the dark and dreadful abyss of universal skepticism.
