I have seen how the foundations of the world are laid, and I have not the least doubt that it will stand a good while. (Henry David Thoreau)
Thinking about the musings from Day 135: The Holy Bible And Geology – Genesis To Job.…
I would submit to you that once you understand what the definition of geology is, it is easy to spot references to this scientific field in the Holy Bible. I would further submit to you that once you recognize what to look for, these references are bountiful indeed.
In Day 135: The Holy Bible And Geology – Genesis To Job., 14 bible verses were covered that are contained in the books Genesis to Job.
So now, let us continue on with 23 more bible verses that contain the following concept relating to the scientific study of geology that can be found in the books of Psalms through Peter:
1. Psalm 18:15 KJV:
15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
2. Psalm 24:1-2 KJV:
1 The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
3. Psalm 104:5-9 KJV:
5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. 6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. 7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. 8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. 9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
4. Psalm 104:10-13 KJV:
10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. 11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. 12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. 13 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
5. Psalm 136:6 KJV:
6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.
6. Proverbs 8:27 KJV:
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
7. Proverbs 30:4 KJV:
4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?
8. Isaiah 40:12 KJV:
12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
9. Jeremiah 31:37 KJV:
37 Thus saith the Lord; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord.
10. Habakkuk 3:9 KJV:
9 Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
11. Hebrews 11:3 KJV:
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
12. 2 Peter 3:4-7 KJV:
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
And there you have it.
23 sets of bible verses found in Psalms To Peter, whose focus can be considered under the scientific branch of geology.
While I would submit to you that these 23 bible verses help one to understand that there is a strong connection between the Holy Bible and the scientific branch of geology, it is possible that you still may not be convinced of any connection.
So, what are the next set of bible verses relating to the scientific field of geology?
That question will be answered next time.
Do not feel discouraged if you do not see a connection with the 23 sets of verses from today from the Holy Bible that relate to the scientific field of geology. Do not feel discouraged if you are still unsure that the verses contained in these bible verses contain any scientific relevance at all. Instead, understand that after you have read these verses, you are continuing the process of learning about the relationship between the scientific field of geology and the Holy Bible…perhaps without even realizing it.
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. (Peter 3:4-7 KJV)
Was today’s blog a little confusing at times? Was the content perhaps a little overwhelming? Did you feel lost not understanding some or most of the subject matter?
Those feelings are totally understandable and it is ok to have one or more of those feelings. Remember that you are reading Day 135: The Holy Bible And Geology – Genesis To Job.
If you haven’t been in class since the first day of school…or when the project began…or when the contract was first signed, etc., these feelings make perfect and logistical sense.
Please feel free to go back to where all of this began:
Learning is fundamental. This is a very clear message to me. Really enjoyed reading your post. Have a great weekend.
