Bible based.
No trinity.
Jesus is the Son of God never God the Son.
No literal devil or naughty spirit angel beings or literal demons.
No immortal soul (soul = the body that Adam became when God energised it with His power and it (mankind) became a ' living soul ' / energised - living body of flesh. (Gen. 2: 7) KJV
Hell = the grave.

There is nothing in Genesis to prove that the Flood was world-wide. In the idiom of its Hebrew readers, Genesis indicated that the Flood certainly affected all of that part of the world with which God was dealing. It does not tell us whether or not it affected the rest of the earth. (God's Truth by Alan Hayward)

Cheers!

I would personall deduce older than 6000 years based upon my hypothesis that ' where did the angels come from? '

To me God's ways are 'probation before exultation' therefore to me it is possible / probable that angels existed 'as men and women' here on earth 'before Adam and Eve' and only those 'accounted worthy' having passed the test before Adam & Eve and this New Creation commenced survived as 'worthy heavenly angels'

Did a prior flood occur before Adam & Eve as with Noah, that God decided to 'replensih the earth' again and so created the First Man and Woman of this (our) creational history that we know of via the Bible Genesis onwards?

I am only hypothesising but certainly the heavenly angels had to be 'accounted worthy' and not just manufactured for the job - But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; (Luke 22:45 - 36) KJV

So also the angels were also ' resurrected from the dead ' to exultation.

Cheers!

a little a bit about myself.
I am evidence based.
I like to think I am logical, there are bits of paper that that say I am, though in of themselves they are not proof.
I am educated again bits of paper.
Lived on three continents visited different parts of the world.
Seen and experienced some hard knocks.

I am sorry to say, trying to deduce the age of the earth based on angels, is a first for me.

I wish you all the best

My theories suggest that the earth itself is older than 6000 years.

Many a Scientist believes in God the Creator.
