2 Peter 3

That with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day: What seems like forever for us is but a short time for God, just as an hour may seem to be an eternity for a child but a moment for an adult.

i. Peter quoted this idea from Psalm 90:4: For a thousand years in Your sight are like yesterday when…[Read more]

I can see you are too far gone in the indoctrination department to think critically about reality.

Just like Mike and his flat earth, you struggle with other indoctrination.

Can you specify what indoctrination?
thank you.

Hi Berean,

You: I don’t believe in the flat earth, but IN THE ONE WHO CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH IN SIX DAYS AND ALL IN IT AND RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY.

Me: Berean THERE ARE NO SCRIPTURES WHICH SPECIFICALLY SAY THE ABOVE! 

Me

It’sthat I believe based on lots of Bible verses including Revelation 14

And I saw another angel fly…[Read more]

Hi Mike

In scripture, “earth” refers ONLY to the dry land upon which we live.  It is usually explicitly distinguished from the water portion of our world.  For example… “For in six days the LORD made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them…”.  Notice how “earth” is something other than “sea”.  Earth is the dry land portion of…[Read more]

Proclaimer

When you delve into the scriptures, there are many traditions that are not supported. This nullifies the power of God in one’s life. 

That’s your problem Proclaimer, you don’t go to the Bible alone and you let yourself be influenced by the “evolutionary” ideas that emerged in the early/mid-nineteenth century. You are a cr…[Read more]

Proclaimer

I don’t believe in the flat earth, but IN THE ONE WHO CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH IN SIX DAYS AND ALL IN IT AND RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY.

YOU ARE LEANING ON A SINGLE VERSE TO TRY TO PROVE YOUR ONE DAY THEORY “IS LIKE A THOUSAND YEARS”

BUT PETER HAS NEVER USED THIS EXPRESSION TO SPEAK TO US OF AN EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN 1 DAY AND A…[Read more]

Mike

Wow!  It’s the same exact language as is used about the creation!  It even has a command from God to do something for six days, and then something else on the seventh day.  Now where have we heard that before?

Exodus 20:9-11… Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you sh…[Read more]

Hi Mike

They are not only two distinct persons, as you pointed out.  They are also two distinct gods. 

Me

Show me the apostles of Christ speaking this way, please.

Hi LU

THE FATHER AND SON HAVE THE SAME FAMILY’S DIVINE NAME :YAHWEH

JESUS or Yeshua is the name OF the Son as man in the flesh.

They worked together in the work of creation and went on together for the work of re-creation (redemption) of mankind.

They are ONE IN SPIRIT (MIND), IN HEARTH,

IN GOAL, BUT NOT IN PERSON(they are two divines…[Read more]

OVERWHELMING FORGIVENESS 

A Gallup Poll once found that 94 percent of Americans would like to be forgiving. But 85 percent felt that they could not be forgiving by themselves; in order to forgive, they needed help from God or something outside themselves. Why do most people find it so hard to forgive? Maybe it has…[Read more]

Genesis 1:5
Light=day
Darkness=Night
evening+morning=1 day
Do not confuse the word day which is evening + morning with the word day which expresses “light”
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Gene Berean……Peter said, “but beloved, be you not ignorant of this one thing: that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years  as one day.”

He was telling us,  that a day equals a thousand years to God , and  THOUSAND YEARS equals a day.    1000 DAYS = 1 DAY, AND 1 DAY = 1000 YEARS,  They are equal to eachother wit…[Read more]

Proclaimer,

Berean, I am not saying it is a thousand years.

Me

You are not saying that , BUT You Take 2 Peter 3 FOR WHAT ?

Proclaimer

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. 

Me

1-“Like”( or “as” ) IS not “equal”.
I am wrong…?
2- You are out of context with 2 Peter 3:8

Proclaimer

You

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.

Me

No, it’s not a contradiction, because the expression “in the day” simply means “at the time”.
We are not to describe “a…[Read more]

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.
