Featured Why did God take 6 days?

Well, that was before his union pushed for time and a half after 40 hours.

 

Simple, HE wanted to take 6 days,

 

Not at all. His Word should be sufficient for instruction.

I would agree with the view that it was for the purpose of structure, which is seen in the week, and utilized in regards to ceremony under the Law.

As a Young Earth Creationist, I also believe this model represents the duration of the physical Universe, lol, but I am one of the few who do any more.


God bless.

 

And I would agree with you.

One theory presented which I think has some merit (and not smart enough to know if it is related to what you speak of here, lol) is the Theory of Time Dilution, which suggests that the further we move from the center of gravity (and in this context we would make Earth or the sun the center point)...the faster time runs. This arose when it was noticed that the nuclear clocks, which were at different relations to sea level, had to be calibrated. I think the one in England moving slower than the one in Denver (and I am just running on what I remember, so some of these "facts" might be in error, but I mention this just to illustrate the theory).

If that were true, then it would supply an answer to the argument that the universe has to be billions of years old because it would take many light years for the light of the further stars to reach us. All of this is moot from a Young Creationist View because we are told light was created instantaneously, thus, the thought that the very bodies given to regulate the seasons (from our perspective) were created for that purpose but somehow the Lord forgot to make them visible to us is just ridiculous, lol.


God bless.

 

I have not, and probably never will, spend time trying to work my way through the musings of men, lol. And again, not sure if I am smart enough to understand it is I did.



For me, I am satisfied with what Genesis states, and try not to overcomplicate it because I think I need a response to the unbelieving. And I refer to those who either reject Genesis outright or have bought into Theistic Evolution, or deny the possibility of a literal Six Day Creation.

You are not alone in that, Tom, many have given the Account an analogous meaning. But I take it as literal, and take the Six Days as they are provided in Genesis. We see that reiterated here:


Exodus 20:10-11

King James Version (KJV)

10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.


The basic point being that when this was/is spoken to the people the context is pretty clear. "You are to keep the (literal) seventh day holy because in six (literal) days God made the heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is."

And I would have to know what context you refer to yowm in before I could comment, disagree, or agree.


God bless.

Well after he made woman.... Cautious (fill in the blank)

Wait, you mean I am not the only one who is forever waiting on my wife?


God bless.

 

Right, but your statement does not reveal the context you hold it in. The options could be a period of time, a specific time. a twenty four hour period, or even the part of day when there is daylight. So I can't comment on that statement apart from what context you hold it in.

God bless.
