Hello Jeff!

I know you have seen my post today aout the religious discussions...

Before you posted this etc..

Tom probably has not seen it yet.

Why are you continuing the discussions?

You are not being picked on, the post applies to ALL.


 TW>> Which is Why the Bible is really written in CODE and you need the
 TW>> Holy Spirit with you to Understand it. It is NOT of
 TW>> "Private"(Mans) Interpertation. Although FAT to many
Prechers do
 TW>> just that.


 JS> I don't know if I'd exactly say that it is written in code, but I do

 JS> Some might say that you are offering your own private interpretation
 JS> of the Scriptures with these recent posts. Where do we divide private
 JS> interpretation from opinion or personal speculation?

 TW>> YES!!! First the word DAY is NOIT bthe Correct translation form
 TW>> the Hebrew.
 TW>>  IT should be "TIME PERIOD".WE have no indication if those time
 TW>> periods were Thousands of Earth Years or Many Millions.

 TW>> Absolutly. BUT on His Time clock NOT OURS!!! We are given a hint
 TW>> of that where we are told i nthe Bible  that One day with GOD is
 TW>> "AS" 1000 years with us.


 JS> Tom, the Hebrew word used is "yowm", which is translated
2008 times as
 JS> "day", 64 times as "time", and 14 times as
"year". Throughout the Old
 JS> Testament, the word is used consistently to mean a 24-hour period. In
 JS> fact, the very first chapter of Genesis clearly tells us that it means
 JS> a 24-hour period, when it says that the evening and morning were the
 JS> first day, etc.

 JS> As you probably know, a Jewish day actually begins at sundown, and so
 JS> Genesis is simply telling us that a day was divided into a 12-hour
 JS> night period, and a 12-hour day period. In short, each Genesis day was
 JS> indeed 24 hours long.

 JS> Moses later confirmed this for us again in Exodus, Leviticus and
 JS> Deuteronomy where he is giving the Israelites God's Laws concerning
 JS> working six days a week, and resting on the seventh day. Again, the
 JS> same word, "yowm", is used. In Exodus 31:17, Moses
specifically says
 JS> again that God made heaven and earth in six days, and rested on the
 JS> seventh day, to explain to the Israelites why they too must rest on
 JS> the seventh day.

 JS> In John 11:9, Jesus very clearly confirms that a day consists of a
 JS> 12-hour day period, and a 12-hour night period, when He says "Are
 JS> there not twelve hours in the day?" meaning the daylight hours.

 JS> So what we see then, is that the word "day" is consistently used
 JS> throughout the Bible to mean a 24-hour period...unless you think the
 JS> Israelites were supposed to work six thousand years, and then rest for
 JS> a thousand years. :)

 JS> The verses from Peter are NOT saying that a Genesis "day" was a
 JS> thousand years. Peter is merely demonstrating God's Eternal Nature,
 JS> and that He exists outside of the flow of time.

 JS> The nature of a day is based upon the revolution of the Sun, correct?
 JS> To suggest that a Genesis day is a thousand years, or a million years,
 JS> falls flat on its face, based upon our current knowledge of astronomy.
 JS> Furthermore, we are told that God created all plant life, and the very
 JS> next day He placed the Sun and the Moon in the sky.

 JS> Now think about that, Tom. Why would God do things in that order?
 JS> Quite simply, because the world's plant life needed the Sun the very
 JS> next day in order to survive...or are you suggesting that the plant
 JS> life survived a thousand years or a million years without sunlight? So
 JS> again we see that a Biblical day in Genesis was in fact a twenty-four
 JS> hour period...at least that is what I personally believe. :)
