Creation

Hi Phat, For your information Phat.2 Peter 3:8 is talking about what time means to God not mankind. Read the scripture.God Bless,

Hi ringo, Do you think the trip takes less or more now than it did in the past?God Bless,

Hi ringo, Well it is your story but I would have my T bar in my truck. Therefore I would not have a problem using it to get the correct measurement. A cube would be interchangeable by changing its position but try that with your kitchen cabinets and you will have a funny looking set of cabinets. Actually most cabinets protrude from the wall 12". A medicine cabinet can be mounted on the surface of the wall or recessed in the wall. In building if the bottom of the foundation is 75 feet below the surface of the sitem that 75' is included in the height of the building.The depth of the building would be the distance from the front door to the opposite wall.We have wandered a long way from creation.God Bless,

Hi ringo, The calendar does not arrange any laws or rules into a systematic code.
Mankind does thatThere is no evidence of a actual physical year of 360 days in the distant past. Just like there is no evidence of a actual physical year of 365.25 days in the distant past.If there was a very long period of light as the cmbr suggests and the Hebrew text of the Bible suggests there was a duration of indefinite existence that light existed without an interruption of darkness.So called Bible Scholars try to tell me the universe is only 6k years old. Because they refuse to believe what the Bible says.The Bible does not teach, state or can be used to prove any such 6k claim.No one knows when the beginning was not even our best scientist.God Bless,

Hi ringo It is pigment so it don't wash off. It has to wear off.-30-.God Bless,

Hi Aussie,I know my eyes can determine colors but to me a black car is black because that is what color my eye and brain tells me that it is according to what I have been told is the color black.I don't really know what color it is. I only know it matches what I have been told is black.God Bless,

Hi ringo, A year is a artificial name given to the duration it takes for the earth to make a complete revolution around the sun. The length of a year can change.
The length of a day can change.
The length of duration can not change.The only thing that can change is the length between events in duration.That is the reason time is a concept developed by mankind to measure the duration between events in eternity.God Bless,

Hi creation, God did not have a calendar anywhere in the Bible.God gave the definition of a day.

quote:

---

Genesis 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

---

God called a period of light "Day".
Since God is light it has never been dark where He is. "The Day of the Lord" that has been referred too has only ever been one light period that has existed eternally in the past and will extend eternally into the future. We have days, weeks, and years but God has "NOW".God created darkness for mankind and the earth.

quote:

---

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

---

God went on to say the evening of that first light period (which we find at Genesis 1:2) with the period of darkness that ended with the following morning (sunrise) was "Day One". Not first day as mistranslated by the KJV translators. The Hebrew word used in Genesis 1:5 is אחד and is the Cardinal number one. The Hebrew word ראשון is the Oridinal number 'first'. The Cardinal number is in the original text not the Ordinal number.That is what God gave. He did not give any day after that but Moses did. At the time Moses wrote he had been educated in the house of Pharaoh in Egypt. The Egyptians had developed a concept by which they measured the duration between events in the light period and the dark period which Moses knew and used to influence his writing.creation it does not make any difference how many days we say are in a year. But what we are trying to do is match reality to our concept. The earth rotates a complete revolution relative to the sun with a specific length of duration between sunrise and sunrise that we measure with the concept of time. The earth also makes a revolution around the sun in a specific length of duration. If reality and our clocks don't match then we have to adjust the clocks as we can not adjust duration. It just is, to borrow a phrase from modulous.God Bless,

Hi ringo, You do realize mankind is the ones saying how many days are in a year.They are only trying to match reality.God Bless,

Hi wise1, What does a solar year or tropical year have to do with a year as far as we are concerned with measuring duration between events on earth?Don't we have to match reality of the earth's revolution around the sun to our clocks?God Bless,

Hi wise1Would you agree or disagree that the life of the flesh is in the blood?God Bless,

Hi ringo, What I am saying is that mankind is the one who determines the length of duration between events in existence. And we devised a pretty good system to do that.God Bless,

Hi Tangle,Love the new avatar. If you had stayed through the winter you would have seen a lot of darkness as the sun would have been shining over the north pole.A day is a light period. Regardless of its duration.
A night is a dark period. Regardless of its duration.
A light period and a dark period make a day. Regardless of its duration.I believe the light period that ended with the darkness found at Genesis 1:2 had lasted in duration from the beginning to the creation of darkness whenever that was. That light period and the following dark period is what God called "Day One".You can place as much duration as you need in that light period.
There was nobody there to measure it and if there was clocks had not been invented then.As you can see I have no problem with any age you want to put on the universe.But as the Bible says there was only 6 days in which creation took place.God Bless,

Hi creation, What difference does it make to us what the orbits were in the past?We don't live in the past. We live in the now and they support our life system as they are today so who cares what they were on the past?God Bless,

Hi creation, Springs don't have ebbs and flows.They are water under pressure coming out of the ground and therefore only have flows.God Bless,
