And God is a mighty fortress. That doesn’t mean that he is a building.

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

Berean. You need to be more like the Bereans. Study scripture to see if ot is so. The Bereans didn’t take Paul’s word for it, but first checked the scriptures to see of it is so. So taking the SDA at their word is not being a Berean. You need to put scripture above them.

Further, no one is saying it is not six or seven days, rather that a day to…[Read more]

The days of creation are 24 hours, like our current days.

Except the bible doesn’t say that. Thus you need to be more like the Bereans who studied the scriptures to see if it were so.

By the way I do agree with your point about the earth already and water already existed before God started this creation, in  fact there could have been many beginnings this earth may have went through,

Yes, there have been many ages, worlds, eons. The bible even says this.

17 It is a sign forever between me and the people of Israel that in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.”
If you deny the above text you will also deny the original story of creation in the Bible. So what do you say?

Good. So now look at Genesis. What was accomplished by the end of the fi…[Read more]

I lack understanding?

Yes

I’m foolish?

Yes, you do foolish things. But we all do to a degree. I’ll leave it up to God as to whether you are a fool or not.

 I suggest there are lizard people?

That is a popular conspiracy theory among some groups. That shape-shifter live among us and they are the true elites. And yes, you sent me a video one time of…[Read more]

Exodus 20:9-11… Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God…  For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day

A number of ways to look at this. And given the creation of the sun in your view taking place on the fourth day, then…[Read more]

I understand that you’re attempting to call historical statements metaphorical with no evidence or valid reason to do so except that the scriptures in question don’t align with your preferred worldview… but I don’t understand what you’re actually saying.  What “lighting situation” am I talking about?  Are you saying there were evenings and mo…

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?

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]

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]

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? Careful how you answer. Do not give an explanation about the 7 days itself because that is not in question. Rather, the assumption that it is the same amount of hours involved as 7 days for us now. Why does that have to…[Read more]
