I agree with you. The corruption in the world had to be pervasive enough to justify flooding the entire world... Which means to me that civilization was well developed... They composed and played music, built intricate cities, they had mastered metallurgy... There were most likely tens of...

Yep. You got me again! I was trying to deceive you one more time but you're just too slick for me! You win! Yay!

Well, you are obviously above my head and soooo much smarter and brilliant than myself. I cannot continue to discuss things with you due to my failure to master the English language and my inability to be logical. You win! Yay! You're the superior one! Yay! :P

This is what I said in post #59: "Every single scripture I listed uses the word Yom (Strong's 3117)" That is not a quote. That is making reference to Strong's. Spurgeon is a "reputable Bible scholar" ... And again, whether Moses was the author or not, or it was a different Moses, God's word...

The RCC was only one sect of Christians established in the Roman Empire during the same time... It was the mind-set of Christians who became politically involved/connected in Roman gov't. The very large remaining sects of Christians did not have the RCC-style mind-set. This explains the...

I have read Joel 2... I agree with other posters that you are cherry-picking... If one part of Joel is a promise to modern-day believers, then the whole thing is, right? So, exactly when did the locusts consume everything owned by Christians that God is replacing with wealth? When did...

I am using a flash of instant light because that is what you said you believe to have happened, is it not? I am using the word "morning" to mean "dawn" as you stated as what you believed in a previous post, did you not? It does negate a dawn or dusk because those are both gradual processes...

First off, I did not "quote" Strong's... I made reference to it as per a previous intercourse with you about the word Yom. As for the authorship of Psalms 90, perhaps you and I will never agree... http://spurgeon.org/treasury/ps090.htm But we know Who said it, so we know it is truth. God's...

But this instant flash of light that shone through a canopy of water still didn't cause a dawn to occur (or a dusk). I think this is sufficient to doubt the literal translation of the creation Days 1-4 to 24-hour periods of time.

"But it is not a good practice to accept anyone who says that God called him/her." Yes, and that includes people who come from already established churches... "And exactly how does Jesus exercise that authority here on earth? Where is His office?" Are you implying that His office is in the...

If it was instant (which is what I believe too), then the First Day did not have a literal morning... Morning, or dawn, is a gradual lightening up... So, perhaps the 6 days of creation were not literal 24 hour days... Also, the sun was not created until the 4th Day, so Days 1-3 did not have...

An apostle is a church-planter... and they still exist in this day and age although they are not called that any more except in certain circles of believers. They do not require some formal granting of authority from other church-planters. They do it when God calls them to. There is only one...

If you realized that you love Jesus more than anybody on earth, and the only thing that matters is the relationship you have with Him, then you answered your own question. That is exactly why God showed it to you.

I think time is a gift from God, and it appears he thought it was important. If it was irrelevant to God, why did He mandate so many specific days to be holy days? Contemplating the future is a uniquely human trait... it is innate... and I think the concept of time is part of God's likeness...

Aw, so now we look into the original Hebrew meanings of "morning" and "evening"... and see that are used in the OT to also mean "the beginning" and "the ending" both literally and figuratively... Question: Do you believe that when God said "Let there be light" it came to be in an instant? Or...

I'm sure many Bible scholars could be wrong, but it is common knowledge among the best of them that Psalm 90 was written by Moses. http://qbible.com/hebrew-old-testament/psalms/90.html "You quote Strong's 3117 but apparently don't read it?" Ok, what was your motive for saying that?

I will repeat: Throughout the Old Testament, Yom is used to mean a 24-hour period of time AND to mean a season AND an undetermined period of time. I have yet to see any proof that the Yom in Genesis 1 means a 24-hour period vs some other period of time. What Moses wrote in Exodus is true...

I haven't shown much at all. I'm expressing an educated opinion in furtherance of more discussion. What specifically did Moses write in Exodus that you'd like to point out?

1) Every single scripture I listed uses the word Yom (Strong's 3117) as something besides a 24-hour period of time. As such, it is presumptuous for anyone to declare empathically that the days of creation were 24-hour periods of time. I'm not saying they aren't, but I see no definitive proof...

LOL! Well, in case you want to align to a false doctrine...! The least you could do is knock down all the scriptures everyone has shared with you to refute this prosperity doctrine... but you are just giving up more of your *ahem* sales pitch! Come on, challenge our understanding of the...
