So ur saying the whole "7 days" thing is just the laymans way of describing 168 hours?

:ohhh:

depends on how you take it. There's debate on this even among Christians.

Some people take 7 to literally mean 7 days. Some see it as a way used to describe a process (phases).

:manny:

I guess we'll have to wait till we die to find out the truth.

If you die and next findyourself standing in front of God then there's your proof.

If you die and simply cease to exist, well there's you're proof.

Decide which end ultimately sits the best with you and live your life accordingly.

Either there is a God and you will be judged by your actions, or there is no god and your actions are judge in the brief blip of time you exist by your fellow man.

Atheists have their views but seem so scared about it they have to bash religion every day or "find holes" to reassure themselves they won't be rotting in the lake of fire

This is a religion bashing thread now?

:dwillhuh:

Thats news to me, just asking a question bro......If I had of asked a question about Greek mythology or summin' I'd doubt you'd be this emotional and defensive b.


I'm not allowed to ask a question about fictional shyt b? If I have a question about Star Wars or The Matrix then that mean's I'm being factitious/looking for "loopholes"?

"7 Days" isn't necessarily suppose to mean 7 days, but "a man/god rose from the dead and accended to heaven" is suppose to literally mean that. That's where this brand of mythology loses me.

No 7 days equals 7 days. Before God formed the earth day & night was created. The completion of a morning & an evening equates to one day. So in the 1st couple verses of the Bible its already explained that there is time & what constitutes one day. It then goes on to explain creation of earth in 6 days... on the 7th day he rested.

I think 1000 or 100 years in universe is 1 year in heaven supposedly. Remember seein that somewhere.

To the person who said they dont know where their thoughts come from :stopitslime:

It says 1000 yrs is like a day & a day like 1000 yrs to God... meaning He doesn't exist in time. There's no difference

Day and Night are formed first day, correct?


but the sun, moon and stars aren't created until the 4th day?

No. The word (Yom) means 'age' or 'period of time' as used in Genesis and other parts of the Hebrew Bible.

Strong's Hebrew: 3117

Malachi 4:5

הנה אנכי שלח לכם את אליה הנביא לפני בוא יום יהוה הגדול והנורא

You're a HORRIBLE troll.

If you look at what occurred during the 1st 2 days God was putting things in place that he would later form & give details to.

First He created the heavens & earth... but they were formless & empty & covered in darkness. So hypothetically speaking if man were to have viewed what was taking place we would not be able to point out what earth or heaven was or differentiate btwn the two... but they were there. Then God created light & separated light from darkness thus creating day & night/morning & evening. Again man wouldn't be able to differentiate btwn the two b/c they weren't given form or detail... but both existed & there was a distinction btwn them. Now after forming the earth (that is land, water & vegetation) day & night had to be given form to translate to earth... to eliminate confusion & provide structure & organization for the life (humans, animals) that would be created thereafter. So a greater light (sun) was formed to rule the day & the lesser light (moon) to rule the night. These lights were formed to help differentiate btwn day & night/ light darkness on earth. Without the formation of theses lights day & night would be indifferent to man on earth

this is all bullshyt just Jews, Christians and Muslims trying to align there faith to the hard cold facts of science. Lets not act like these religious texts were not written at a time when man thought the earth was the center of the universe. Now they saying it is Phases? yall are full of so much shyt.
