Creation took place in 6 days and the 7th day was the sabbath rest day.
Ge 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Ge 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
I wish I could quote the whole of John 5 but it is too much. The problem with this board is sound tracks. Short and sweet. People posting almost no scripture but their own take on scripture without context, believing some of it is literal and not believing other parts. Sometimes people, especially Calvinists, will have more than one hermeneutical principle in the same verse. So I am going to post a short segment dealing with what God is doing in the six days and why you should understand and believe that God has his own application for thousand years days with a thousand year sabbath on the 7th day just like he said and no one on this board believes.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
He will resurrect all he has saved at harvest time and give eternal life to all those who are living. What will his rest be like? Well, I quoted Isa 11 where the whole prophecy is about nothing else but the rest day of God and nobody on this board believes it. The OT prophets quoted much about that day. It is a thousand year day when the work of redemption is finished and Jesus Christ rules the earth in righteousness from Jerusalem just like he says he will.
If God turns the light on and you prefer darkness then do not expect he will give you any more light. Jesus said men loved darkness more than light. It is a dark time when Baptists love darkness.
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31 Because he hath appointed a day, (this is a thousand year day, the seventh day )in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.
33 So Paul departed from among them.
As far as I know he did not go back to Athens. They loved darkness.
