So, how many of the seven days of creation did God actually create something?
For that matter, did God actually restore and fix and correct things on all seven days?
No, God rested on the seventh day. His work was done on the sixth day.
Genesis 1:1-2:
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 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.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
There were not seven days of creation. God rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Did God create on all those six days?
If indeed the popular thought is right, then yes, but
What saith the scripture?
Genesis 1:1 is counted by some to be in the first evening and morning
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
That is a discussion for another time.
To answer this question, we must first decide if we believe God knows what He is talking about.
We must decide if Moses was given the truth by God to write down as the word of God.
We must decide if God means what he says and says what he means.
If we do not believe the Bible is literally the word of God, then we are not discussing anything worth discussing.
If we do believe that the Bible is the word of God, then we must decide if each individual word is the word of God, and not only so but we must decide if every jot and tittle is the word of God.
if we believe each word is God's choice of words then we must read carefully each word that is before us as we read scripture.
Did God create light? or did He simply speak so that light appeared?
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
The word "create' does not appear in that verse, so to change the word "said" into the word create is to deny that God knows what He did and it denies that God knows what He is talking about.
Did God create a division between the light and darkness?
No, He did not.
He divided the light from the darkness
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Note carefully, there are only three verses in the record in Genesis of God creating.
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God
created the heaven and the earth.
G
enesis 1:21
And God
created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:27
So God
created man in his own image, in the image of God
created he him; male and female
created he them.
What saith the scripture about how many times God created in this record?
Three and only three acts of creation.
In all other instances he did some other action.
He said, divided, made, called, let, set, etc.
What does scripture say about how many acts of creation did God do in Genesis 1:1-2:
Scripture says three acts of creation
