Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 1:1

THE FIRST DAY"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."There is absolutely nothing either unreasonable or hard to understand about this. That there was indeed a beginning of our universe and the world we live in is absolutely certain. No matter how far back into the mists of prehistoric time men may postulate the point of origin for our universe, it is precisely THERE that they must confront God, the omnipotent, eternal, all-pervading, omniscient First Cause, known to Christians... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 1:2

"And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the waters: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.""And the earth was waste and void ..."

Any chain of events leading to the development of light is inconceivable, the very thought of such a thing being rejected by the intelligence. Primeval darkness demands just the fiat revealed in this verse as the only possible... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 1:4

"And God saw the light that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.""And God saw the light that it was good." The intelligence of the Supreme Being, His concern with and His interest in the affairs of His creation, and His personal preference for that which is "good" appear as legitimate deductions from what is revealed here. It seems highly improbable that the creation of light merely means the making of light visible upon the earth. The text does not state that God made... read more
