Oh Dear.
Message 57
Just how long ago the universe was created is not stated in the Bible.
"And he answering said to them, ‘Did ye not read, that He who made them, from the beginning a male and a female made them," Mt 19:4
please note "the beginning". Also Mr 10:6 "but from the beginning of the creation, a male and a female God did make them;" i.e. the beginning and the creation of Adam and Eve are around the same time period.
These days have to do, not with the creation of earth’s matter or material, but with the arranging and preparing of it for habitation.
What basis do have for saying this? None.
Message 63
Peg, you didn't answer coragyps' question at all. Mainly because there is no logical way of doing it.
It was an existing planet along with all the other planets in the universe
What the...??? Again, what is your basis for this? None.
Message 64
The verses in genesis are very specific and they are refering to two different times.
Again, completly baseless.
Message 70
And science has also added to an improved understanding...many people who study the bible have taken on board that the earth was not made in 6 literal days and they fully accept science in this regard. The improved understanding of hebrew reinforces it and vice versa.
I don't care if people take on board what evolutionists tell them to believe, it is not scriptural.
Message 72
On the first day diffused light evidently shone through the cloud cover, but the sources of that light could not have been seen by an earthly observer. Now, on this fourth day, things apparently changed and the cloud cover dispersed to allow the sun and moon to become visible from an earthly perspective
The hebrew doesn't give this perspective at all. Again you are just letting your imagination go wild as you try to fit the bible into what evolutionist tell you that you should believe.
Please read percy's messages 73 and 74. In fact read, them a number of times. Maybe 10 times might be sufficient (let's hope so).
Message 75
moses used a word that indicated long lengths of time, but modern translators were limited in their understanding of hebrew
His words indicate nothing of the sort.
so its only reasonable to conclude that it is the same in the genesis account.
What the...??? You forgot that one meaning of the word yohm is also an ordinary day. In fact everywhere that the word yohm is used in context of evening and morning it always means an ordinary day.
Please stop thinking that you are somehow super enlightend above the countless numbers of christians and followers of the one true God before we were all "enlightend" with evolution and an old earth.
Now I've missed out on valuable sleeping time just because you decide to post baseless compromises. I'm going to bed.
