Re: The Seven Days Of Creation , True Or False ????

oK totally 100% honest reply.

I read the whole lot, every word and I dont understand any of it. I am not a religeous person so maybe my mind set isnt in the right frame for it . I'd like to ask you, If I presented myself to you and wanted to understand, how would you approach that?

Re: The Seven Days Of Creation , True Or False ????

Why would a God who isn't limited by time set a time equivalent to our 'day'?

If God is not bound by time at all, why would he set himself an equal time to us? Humans are boudn by the times God has set for us, the seasons, days setting of the sun and rising of the same.

What your saying makes no sense.

The fact is that since God is not bound by time he spoke and in an instant things were set in place. The creation of all those things in the order they were created was for our benifit, not Gods, he specifcaly stated it as you pointed out... the seasons are for us.

The language for stating that 1 day to God is as 1000 years to man isnt a numerical value, its a comparison. Its only found twice in the english bible: KJV

Psalm 90:4
For a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night.

The comparison here is that God is timeless and man is not. The entire context of Ps 90 is on the power of God over man. It is not submitting a document of neumerical value. There is no definitive measurement from that statment. The focus of Ps 90 is a prayer of thankgiving from Moses to God for his faithfulness through the many generations of his poeple living through God's timelessness.

2 Peter 3:8 KJV
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

The context of this verse is of coming judgement, again the timelessness of God not being bound by time, specifically that God will judge the earth when he sees fit, not by a timetable set that man can guess, promote, or delay. The 2 peter verse is a quote from Ps 90. Peter is refering to what Moses said.

Besides the obvious lack of biblical understanding on your part of the context of the verses, and of inconsistant translation, your forgetting of the character of God.

Why would God limit himself?

If indeed you are correct (shudder the thought), then God indicates a limit of himself, by claiming he is bound by a measure of time that he himself created? If I'm God why would I set my own clock on something I created for mankind? Years mean nothing to God. His character is eternal, infinite, if he was bound by time he then would have an end, but he has no end, if he was bound by time (1000 years to our 1 day) he would also have a beginning and he has no beginning.

Besides all that, if you want to use that criteria for the development of the earth the evolutionists are gonna walk all over you, 49,000 years? is that all? I think even they would scoff at you... I can hear the faint laughter now.

Nope I don't buy your explaination, it happened in 6 days and 1 day of rest, the days are our days, the action of each day was in a split second, he spoke and it was there, and he waited till the next day to do something else.

But I got to hand it to you, that was the most convaluted bit of writing I have ever read... it must have taken you hours to keep hitting the cap button for every word....

Also if your gonna use psalm 90 to make your case your forgetting that there are two time frames talked about there... 'but as yesterday' (24 hours) and as a watch in the night (3 hours)...

So it kinda blows your comparison, I did notice you left the second part out of the verse when you wrote up yer explaination: So a thousand years to God is a day to us or is it a night watch? It cant be both can it?

And btw the hebrew word for yesterday is not shamah, it is 'ethmowl', and it doesnt actually mean 'day' it means 'former, as in the past'. The hebrew word 'day' (yowm) is in the verse, but its covered in the english phrase '[are but] as'... the word you mistranslated is 'shaneh' and although it is used in english as year, its difinitve translation is not a specifc 'year' as in 365 days, nor is it by seasons, in fact its an 'undisclosed amount of time'... which is what the writer is really saying:

'God is timeless and man is limited by days' the literal translation of this verse is that God is indeed boundless, (timeless).

Re: The Seven Days Of Creation , True Or False ????

As I understand it each day (our day) in God's eyes is a thousand years.

So it took him 7 thousand years to create the heavens,earth & everything on it.

That is what I am led to believe or that is my understanding of it all.

True or false has nothing to do with answering this question....Your belief is yours and yours only and this dosent make it true as indeed it dosent make it false.....again its only an opinion.
