Water baptism

 1 Peter 3:21 "The figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also now save.us (not putting away the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,"

Peter is teaching that 8 people were in the ark and went through the judgment unharmed, it is comparable to the Christian's experience of salvation being in Christ, the ark of one's salvation.

Baptism... By the resurrection of Jesus Christ," Peter is not teaching water baptism, but he is teaching a figurative into a union with Christ as an ark of safety from God's judgment. Christ's resurrection demonstrates God's acceptance of Christ's substitutionary death for the sins of those who believe ( Acts 2:30-31; Romans 1:4).

"Baptism doth also now save us": does not mean water baptism is essential to salvation. It can't wash away the "filth of the flesh," Baptism is a testimony of one's faith in the resurrection because it symbolizes our resurrection with Him.

To be sure nobody misunderstands him; Peter clearly says he is not talking about water baptism when he says " Not putting away the filth of the flesh."

Water baptism is the outward show of the death of the body and rising from the water into a new life with Christ our redeemer. The real baptism that will save us is the changing of the heart. 

America

 America is named after Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian explorer who set forth the then-revolutionary concept that the lands that Christopher Columbus sailed to in 1492 were part of a separate continent. A map created in 1507 by Martin Waldseemüller was the first to depict this new continent with the name "America," a Latinized version of "Amerigo."

Creation

  “Are we able to know how many days apart Adam and Eve were created?”, the answer is yes. The answer is that both Adam and Eve were created on Day 6 of God’s creative work. Here is how we know.

First, read Genesis 1:26a: “26aThen God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” This is from the English Standard Version (ESV)of the Bible. The ESV has this footnote about the word “man” in verse 26a. The footnote says, quoting: “The Hebrew word for man (adam) is the generic term for mankind and becomes the proper name Adam.” So verse 26a is talking not just about the individual first man “Adam”, but collectively about mankind in general.

The read Genesis 1:26b: “26bAnd let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” The third word in v. 26b is the pronoun “them”, referring to a plural noun, a number of persons. The verse says God created more than the one person “adam”, created in v. 26a, i.e., He created them.

Then read Genesis 1:27: “27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” God created both male and female when He created people on Day 6. This is emphasized by the last word in the verse, again, the pronoun referring to a plural number of persons, them. The plural them is repeated twice in Genesis 1:28, in verse 28a: “28aAnd God blessed them,” and again in 28b: “28bAnd God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply….” So God is blessing more than one person, them, in 28a, and commanding more than one person to be fruitful and multiply in 28b. And from v. 27, the “them” are both male and female.

Then read Genesis 1:31 through 2:2. Genesis 1:31: “31And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.”. Then Genesis 2:1-2: “1Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done.” God saw that everything was very good, and upon seeing that, Day 6 of creation ended. Then in Genesis 2:1 it says the heavens and the earth were finished, and in v. 2 it says God had finished the work he had done, and He rested.

That’s it. There is no more creating after that. Everything God created, He created during those six days of active creating. He didn’t create anything, after creating male and female, on Day 6, or anytime thereafter
