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]

Here is one contradiction with your view. There are many more.

These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.

AN AMAZING FACT: The worst mining accident in U.S. history was the Monongah coal mine explosion, which claimed 362 lives.
Digging tunnels underground is risky business. Hundreds of miners around the world die each year from mining accidents, especially among coal miners. Sometimes poisonous gases enter the…[Read more]

Hi Berean,

You: an important point that many fail to consider is that a word can never be symbolic the first time it is used! In fact, a word can only be used symbolically when it has first had a literal meaning. 

You: an important point that many fail to consider is…….

Me: This applies also to you Berean, for the simple reason

These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.

In fact the above statement is the title statement of the second creation account recorded by the Yahwehist in the book of Genesis 2nd chapter which clearly mentioned the God’s name as ‘Yahweh’ whereas first…[Read more]

Here is a 5 ton ball holding onto water. It is not flying off like FEers make out.
Of course the water is falling down slowly, but that is because of earth’s gravity. But in reality, this ball is spinning hundreds if not thousands of times faster than earth.

Try this yourself. Soak a tennis ball in water. Next, spin it once in 24 hours.…[Read more]

When people accept at face value what Genesis is teaching and accept the days as ordinary days, they will have no problem understanding what the rest of Genesis is all about.

Really Danny? Lol.

Proclaimer   and all,

Thé Bible teaches us that God in six days made the heavens, the earth, and the sea, and all that is in them, and he rested on the seventh day: therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and sanctified it.

He could have done it in a split second, because for him, everything is possible…but he didn’t. HE HAS THEREFORE CH…[Read more]

Good words gene.

Any chance of jumping over to the flat earth thread and posting a rebuke or correction of some kind.

I know you have not fallen for this foolishness.

And now we have Mike trying to gain danny as a flat earth disciple.

Lol. Let’s see what he does.

Ancient man or even men from centuries gone by have had less knowledge. One of the signs of the end times is the increase in knowledge and certainly today, we live in the information age.

Men then observe their world and understand scripture from their perspective. If I am in the train doing a continuous 100kmh without acceleration or…[Read more]

God installs leaders for the building up or tearing down of  nations, so ever leader is chosen by God, to bring about his purposes, in that nation,  IMO.

TRUMP seems to have a strong belief in God, and I like that about him, he knows how to negoate “fairly”  with  nations, for the over all good of our people, espically when it comes to trade neg…[Read more]

Danny, you can google what gravity is, so there is no reason for me to define it for you. I will just add my 2 cents worth about gravity that I understand.

Hi Berean,

You said this:

AND WHAT A SON AND SERVANT!

That “servant” you write of is called Yahweh at times and served with creating the universe, is that what you believe?
