You will also find in Genesis Cains fear of the people out on the earth that was already populated. Each time the scriptures were edited they left parts of the original narratives in the record.
I read nothing in Genesis as to how long each creative day was, or even if each creative day was of the same or of differing lengths of time.
Besides the 6 creative 'days' which are all summed up by the single word ' day ' at Genesis2:4
Even in English we speak of Grandfather's Day and know...
Thanks for the reply, but Adam was never taken out of the Ground of Eden, nor Eve. but God planted these trees in eden, and put the man he formed in the Garden of Eden. so Eden seems to be separated from the EARTH Ground .
also plants and trees with grasses was already introduced on DAY 3 after...
GINOLJC, to all
first, I truly thank you for the reply. 101G like you, because at least you try, and speak sometimes intelligently. but her no cigar. listen and learn.
scripture, Genesis2:4 "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the...
Sadly though that has no basis in scripture. There is no such thing as an eight, nine or ten day week. There is only seven days in a week and the bible states that "the seventh day" is the Sabbath of the Lord your God in Exodus 20:10. That is what the scriptures say word for word.
According to...
I was trying to follow.
What @Kenny is saying... I believe, is that the seventh day has not ended. In other words, mankind has not gone into an eighth, ninth, tenth, ... day. We are still in the seventh... from God's perspective. I agree with that.
Hebrews 4:3
For we who have exercised faith do...
That doesn't address my comment, which was that there is no reason that a literal 24-hour day was not intended.
Yes, and they all contain an evening and a morning:
That usage of day is unrelated to the one that includes an evening and a morning. The days of creation had what literal days...
Yes, Genesis2:4 gives plenty of reason why a day in Genesis could be more than a 24-hour day.
ALL of the 6 creative days are summed up by the single word ' day '.
God's 7th day is still on going.
Even in English we speak of grandfathers' day and know we are speaking about more than a 24-hour...
Addressing the OP only, and not have read all the posts. A day in creation is not a 24 hr solar day. in order to get a solar day, #1. the Sun must be shining, and #2. the earth must be rotating.. that didn't happen until creation day four. so a 24 hr. solar day is out. but a hint at how long...
Context is to Gods seventh day Sabbath created from the foundation of the world which is defined as "Gods rest/My rest/His rest that only those enter into by believing and following what Gods Word says (see Hebrews 4:1-5).
No one keeps the Sabbath or enters into Gods rest by not believing and...
Yes, I too find there is a Sabbath resting for God's people - Hebrews 4:9-11
Those who choose to obey Christ enjoy ' a Sabbath resting from -> their own works ' - Romans 10:4
Tiresome works to having the joy of doing 'spiritual work' as Jesus did - Luke 4:43; Matthew 24:14.
Hebrews chapter 4...
Yes, how about that un-biblical 6,000 years and 6 literal days teaching ! That is religious-myth teaching.
Thank you for your reply because an inquiring mind wants to know.
I'll start with Genesis2:4 where all of the 6 creative days are summed up by the single word ' day '.
So, just as we might...
I find nothing in Genesis to conclude each of the 6 creative days were one-thousand-year long days.
There is nothing there to even indicate that each creative day was of the same or of differing lengths of time.
For that matter, each of the creative days are summed up by the single world '...
yes, because each day is a different DAY. something happen on DAY one that didn't happen on DAY 2. so on and so on. so, DAY singular is correct.
remember, DAY here is NOT, I repeat, is NOT the same as days in a solar 24 hr. day as stated on DAY four. no. thousand or even millions of solar years...
I agree, except, I am thinking it's all on 1 day, day 6. The problem I see in the above is "day" is singular.
"in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens," Made is the keyword for me.
When was it made? The creation process started in Gen 1:1. And everything was finished...
I believe Genesis 2 is the detail account in Genesis 1, supportive scripture, Genesis2:4 "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,"
"These" what? days, Listen to the definition provided by...
Bingo, you're on the right Rod, 100
5 correct, the GENDERS was created on Day 6.
and also in the video he said only DAY in chapter.... he missed the first half of the scripture. Genesis2:4 "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the...
I find it is Not God but rather 'man' who says God created (deceived) the appearance of great age.
In the Bible the word 'day' has more than one meaning.
ALL of the creative days are summed up by the single word ' day ' at Genesis2:4
We don't know if all of the 6 creative days are of the same...
You're right. There is Nothing in Genesis to conclude a young earth.
We don't know if each of the creative days were of the same or differing lengths of time.
ALL of the creative days are summed up by the single word 'day' at Genesis2:4
Plus, the 7th day (God's rest day from further creating )...
