yes i do, but you dont.
Unfortunately, you've shown that you don't and are unable to see that you don't or won't understand when it comes to the Bible writings or passages that conflict with your belief system.
In
Message 17, you jumped from yom to zume which was used as a symbol and continued with the symbols.
For all your squawking that Hebrew is different than English, you haven't been able to show us the indicators in the Hebrew language that tell us that yom is to be used figuratively. I provided an article in
Message 14 that did address the indicators in Hebrew and you avoided the issue and moved on to symbolism.
Now you've dragged yom out again in another thread and yet you still haven't shown the indicators in the sentence. Same tired argument with no support. It's getting old. Seriously address what I presented in
Message 14.

the entire bible must be looked at to understand what someone is saying...you cant ignore everyone else in favor of semantics
Without
semantics, you can't understand what is being said or symbolized. Without meaning words are useless gobbledygook.
Jabberwocky'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Creating your own meaning doesn't show respect for God, the writers, or your audience.
So instead of bogging down yet another thread with yom, please show the indicators in the sentence (Hebrew or English) that tell us to use one of the figurative meanings of the Lexicon for yom in Genesis 1:5. No more chaff.
