Mike, very few people will subscribe to your world view.
You say that God created a flat earth in 6 x 24 hour periods, despite the Sun which gives us night and day being created for half of those days.
Most will just ignore you Mike.
I do not know if you are like this because your heart is wayward and this guides your mind or if you have issues…[Read more]

Young Earth Creationism
Mike, it’s all very simple.You say a day is always 24 hours and Genesis is no exception.
But when you see that there is day and night, then you see that day can mean around 12 hours which is not 24 hours.
Then when you read that a day to God is not like a day to us and that we were not even around, then it becomes…[Read more]

Okay Proclaimer, Gene, and Carmel. Please challenge my last four posts about the first four days of creation. Please call out any errors or misunderstandings you think I have. Please prove my understanding wrong if you can. Thanks.

The Fourth Day
Gen 1:14-15… And God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to distinguish between the day and the night, and let them be signs to mark the seasons and days and years. And let them serve as lights in the firmament of heaven to shine upon the earth.” And it was so.
This is the very beginning of the existence of the…[Read more]mikeboll64 replied to the topic Mikeboll's belief in a flat world in the forum View Points 3 years, 9 months ago
The Third Day
Gen 1:9-10… And God said, “Let the waters under the firmament be gathered into one place, so that the dry land may appear.” And it was so. God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathering of waters He called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.

The Second Day
Gen 1:6…And God said, “Let there be a firmament between the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.”
The firmament is clearly a solid object. We know this because of the meaning of its root word “raqa”, because Job describes it as “hard as a mirror of cast bronze” (37:18), and because it supports the waters above it. …[Read more]mikeboll64 replied to the topic Mikeboll's belief in a flat world in the forum View Points 3 years, 9 months ago

Okay Proclaimer… here’s what we’ve learned about your interpretation of Gen 1:
1. The creation of heaven automatically includes the creation of the things IN heaven, but the creation of earth DOESN’T include the creation of the things ON earth. You can’t explain this discrepancy.
2. The words, “Let there be light – and there was light” re…[Read more]

Hey Berean, that long article you posted argued the same points that I’ve been trying to make based solely on the Bible and God-given common sense. Great read, thanks. The only fault I have with it is the “spinning ball” reference…

Berean, I am not saying it is a thousand years. Certainly it is not 24 hours is what you can draw from this. why do so many here always err in their assessments? I believe it is because many religious persons are brainwashed. They are no longer able to reason because of indoctrination.

A day to God is like a thousand years.
It may not be what your religion or denomination teaches you, but the Bible teaches us this.

1-“Like”( or “as” ) IS not “equal”.
I am wrong…?
2- You are out of context with 2 Peter 3:8Proclaimer replied to the topic Proclaimer vs Lightenup in the forum Debates 3 years, 9 months ago
Do you agree that Jesus is the only proper Son and all other beings called “sons” are not proper sons but instead created sons? And what specifically do you think that means, to be a “proper son” of God?
I would say that he came directly from God. Whereas creation came from God through the Word.

No, it’s not a contradiction, because the expression “in the day” simply means “at the time”.
Exactly. Thank you!
So a day in scripture is not always 24 hours.
You said it yourself.
Of course, a day is mostly 24 hours or 12 or so hours because it is used in our (everyday) context.
But for God, the context is different.
He is not a man that…[Read more]
