Has the claim not been made more than once in this thread that 'day in Genesis 1 never means anything other than 24 hours?'

Is it a matter of knowing when to use "know" or "knowing?"

Where I am-- 33 degrees N latitude, 97 degrees W longitude-- "sunrise" was 7:35 a.m. (CDT), "sunset" will be 7:36 p.m.; tomorrow those times will be 7:34 a.m. and 7:36 p.m.; Wednesday they will be 7:33 a.m. and 7:37 p.m. 24 hours <> [is not equal to] every evening and morning, or the Jewish...

As there must have been a time before you were saved (supposing you were), then was the message that converted you just that and no more? Did somebody say, "Hey!-- Jesus Christ is the savior of the world who died for the sins of all those who believe in him-- will you accept him or not-- yes or...

I'm wondering if we have some English teachers here. Does anyone else remember how they were not only so eager to find spelling and grammatical error to yank points off your paper, but they would do that for not having a 'proper' heading. In our schools it was always: in the upper right...

I was asking you, as you said a day in Genesis 1 never means anything other than 24 hours.

The day was divided into 24 equal parts before there was light and dark? Not if a day is from "setting" of the sun till the next setting thereof-- consider now, as to us in the northern hemisphere, the days are getting "longer;" they are almost 24 hours and 2 minutes right now.

Yes, as long as you take into consideration your own statement, that He "does not see time as we do," and recall that He gave a promise to the Israelites that they would have the land they were going to forever, and then clarified that to mean the "children of promise" who believe in Christ...

Yes or No: Does a day always begin with the setting of the sun?

Yes, that is a point. We were not there to see the time that He does not see as we do-- especially the beginning of it all on that day which did not begin with the rising or setting of the sun, which was not there to rise or set.

If you're refering to grammar... I ain't never cared a whole bunch about talkin no good grammar no way! But titles I don't care for are those too broadly vague-- such as, "Question--" or "What do you think about this?" or "Doctrinal Differences." Something should be in there about the focal...

I finally decided to look up and paste my post from the old Science Forum, in which I explained why I don't have a definite position on this: The only firm “position” I espouse on the Young Earth Creationist v. Old Earth Evolutionist ongoing debate is that I wish it didn’t exist. Both sides...

Yeah, interesting. Just how long does it take the wire services to get a story from Europe to us here? Once Sunday, March 15, a few years ago, it was my 'job' to annouce visitors in our department and extend them welcome. One woman had brought a neighbor of hers, Mark Anthony. That was...

Okay, I took your advice, and I get: "A common phrase in the Hebrew is "l'olam va'ed" and is usually translated as "forever and ever" but in the Hebrew it means "to the distant horizon and again" meaning "a very distant time and even further" and is used to express the idea of a very ancient...

Then "forever and ever" does not equal "eternity," which does not equal "permanent." Yes or No?

Sounds good. Like they say, "government assistance always comes with strings attached."

Psalm 148 is obviously poetry. It says He commanded them-- the angels, hosts, sun, moon, waters, et al-- and established them forever and ever-- v.6. If that is true, how are the words of Jesus also true that "heaven and earth shall pass away" (Matthew 24:35)? (and also John's vision in...

If that's really a question, as you punctuated it, I don't know if you do or not. Who were Abraham's descendants in Genesis? Who were Abrahams' descendants in the NT? Are they absolutely the same?

I made an attempt to generalize this discussion about that subject which can be found on p. 4 of this thread. But I will paste it here: Would this passage be taken as literal, and is there indication in language, style, or culture that it does not apply to, and only to, Abraham's physical...

I heard a report last week that concluded that during the first 2 weeks after the spring forward change, heart attacks are up 5%, and that for the 2 weeks following the fall back change, they are down 5%. If this is true, obviously the net change is 0, but it does indicate that the human body is...
