Proclaimer:  But if you were reasonable, you would just conclude that the word day is dependent on the context.

I have not only concluded this, but have already said that the Hebrew word “yom” is used EXACTLY like the English word “day” is used.

Proclaimer:  But for us, it is mostly 12 or 24 hours because they are the most common stages for us b…

So MANY Problems With Proclaimer’s Argument!

Proclaimer: You can’t impose your standard units of time back to when God created the universe.

What I can do is trust God when he tells HUMAN BEINGS that He did something in six days.  If God did something over the course of a thousand, million, or billion years, He dang sure wouldn’t tell HUMAN BEI…[Read more]

Are you making the argument, that a day to the LORD is like a thousand years, in this one instance only?

Me

Excuse me but THIS IS not a dodg ,I thought I answered well.

My answer IS NO.

Well, We’re not applying 2 Peter 3:8 to Genesis 1, that’s for sure.
For the rest, I believe that it is a question of appreciation of the text…[Read more]

 Carmel: EXODUS DOES NOT SAY:

GOD CREATED HEAVEN AND EARTH!BUT

for in six days the LORD made the heaven and the earth, 

Also, Genesis is clear and in verse 3, it says: …………and there was evening and morning one day.

Thus Genesis 1:3 is the first day! Not before! 

From this particular day, GOD STARTED TO MAKE HEAVEN AND EARTH!

Oh brother. &#x1f6…[Read more]

You dodged my question Berean.

I will say it again:

Are you making the argument that a day to the LORD is only is like a thousand years in that one instance?

In the SDA community, we generally have a fairly broad view of things, but we are very attached to CONTEXT when it comes to interpreting a text, an expression, a symbol, a historical fact, etc…
Good day

The Book that Almost Made it into the Bible

Berean.

If this is true then, it is likely true overall.

Or are you and the SDA making the argument that a day to the LORD only is like a thousand years in that one instance? Because that is what I think you are saying and that seems absurd.

Proclaimer

Context is key to determining the correct understanding of this passage, . THE CONTEXT OF 2 PETER 3 IS THE RETURN OF THE LORD to deliver his people AND NOT THE BLIND INTERPRETATION OF GENESIS 1 THAT ONE DAY EQUALS A THOUSAND YEARS.

The words of Peter stand , “a thousand years is as a day, with God , and a day is as a thousand years.

True. Many times in scripture we read about weeks, times, etc. And often they seem to play out on scales beyond our expectations and can span many generations. We read in scripture for example about the Lord’s return is at hand. Then people ri…[Read more]

Hi Carmel

How in your opinion, always based on scripture, 

IN GENESIS 1:1  GOD CREATED HEAVEN AND EARTH?  

Hebrews1 help us

They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a gar…[Read more]
