Hi guys.

I’m thinking about splitting this topic up. I could branch out the Genesis debate into its own topic. Anyone against doing that and why?

The benefit is that topic will be easier to find.

Why not believe that in Genesis 1 and 2, God created everything by his power in 6 days of 24 hours and that he rested on the Seventh day.
These texts of Genesis 1 and 2 are FOUNDATION texts AND LEAVE NO PLACE FOR SCIENCE FICTION.

Same with you Berean. Can you admit this possibility, or will your ego sway you toward the SDA meaning you are forced…[Read more]

Hello Proclaimer, there is nothing to express our egos here as we are all debating on the ancient religious texts.

Good to hear. So if ego is not getting in the way then you can admit that the text says that the heavens and earth were created before the 6 days. Thus, it is possible that the six days that follow, actually follow from that point.

Yes?

I forgot some verses from Genesis 1

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw…[Read more]

God didn’t just create Adam on the sixth day,

Genesis 1
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image,…[Read more]

Hi to all,

Why not believe that in Genesis 1 and 2, God created everything by his power in 6 days of 24 hours and that he rested on the Seventh day.
These texts of Genesis 1 and 2 are FOUNDATION texts AND LEAVE NO PLACE FOR SCIENCE FICTION.

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
But the…[Read more]

Here is the rest of the revelation:

Anyone who wants to delve deeper will also come to a more profound understanding. At first, it is only necessary to know of a Power That brought everything into existence the human being can see around himself, as well as the creations he is unable to see. Before the far-reaching correlations can be…[Read more]

Hi Mike,

You: Because according to scripture, God created both “day” and “night” on the first “day”.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created heaven, and earth.

2And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters.

3And God said: Be light made. And light was made. 4And…[Read more]

ADAM….yes it says God made “this” heaven, and “this” earth in six days,   But does that limit God from having made other heavens and other earths thousands if not millions of years ago?  Our planet is just a speck in the universe.

Mike would have us believe God made everything that exists in just six days ,  I agree with Proclaimer on this,…[Read more]

You have as much proof that your view of Genesis is the correct interpretation as you do proof that the Bible teaches the flat earth. I think you want this to be the case so you can deny God. And Mike wants the same so he can deny science. You are both deniers when you think about it. You both seem to place your made up minds and ego first, rather…

The text clearly says that God created the heavens and the earth before the days even began. Therefore, it could be your understanding of scripture that is primitive. Have you thought about this possibility?

Day 1 starts at the surface of a watery planet. So place the camera there and the stars, sun, moon appear possibly referring to a clear…[Read more]

Yet, the sun according to this view was not created till the fourth day. Funny that.

So you make the argument that God is light.

So how is night created if God is light?

Does he depart earth for 12 hours and return?

The new earth has no need of a sun for light because God is light, but it doesn’t mean there won’t be a sun for it’s other featu…

At any rate – after months of condescending ad hominem attacks and other such nonsense – are you finally ready to own up to the fact that the Bible and Scientism are hopelessly contradictory, and that no amount of imagining gaps and “extended period days” is going to unite the two?

Or that you have and continue to miss the points I am making.…[Read more]

And don’t forget that plants existed on earth BEFORE the sun (and all the stars) was even created!  It’s not an error in translation, Proclaimer.  It’s an error in your Scientism-based understanding of the world God created for us.

Yep, a big problem with your interpretation alright. Try placing a plant in complete darkness and see what happens…[Read more]

Also, how would the days being “extended periods of time” work for you anyway?  For each “one million year period”, there would be 500 thousand years of constant daylight followed by 500 thousand years of nighttime.

Like much of the bible, it could be metaphorical. So that morning and evening are the beginning and end of each day and not really a…[Read more]

Pfizer Quietly Adds Warning That ‘Unfavorable Pre-Clinical, Clinical Or Safety Data’ May Impact Biz

Because according to scripture, God created both “day” and “night” on the first “day”.

Because the first day consisted of one “evening” and one “morning” – just like all subsequent days have done.

Yet, the sun according to this view was not created till the fourth day. Funny that.

So you make the argument that God is light.

So how is nig…[Read more]

Proclaimer:  Why does seven days from God’s calendar before man existed have to be the exact amount of hours as 7 days from our perspective?

Because according to scripture, God created both “day” and “night” on the first “day”.

Because the first day consisted of “evening” and “morning” – just like all subsequent days have done.

And because Go…[Read more]
