    Genesis 1, a day, and Billions of years

    “Come, let us reason together.” - God We are not called to a blind faith. Rather, we are called to TRUTH. Truth will stand up to closer examination and asking hard questions often yields rewards of richer understanding. Why did God place the Tree in the Garden of Eden? Was the fall a...

    Genesis 1, a day, and Billions of years

    There is a substantial body of circumstantial evidence that the formation of the earth thru the first human beings took more than 120 hours. Different people have offered different possible explanations for the difference between the Genesis 1 account and the geology/paleontology/archaeology...

    Genesis 1, a day, and Billions of years

    In general, I am clueless when it comes to interpreting prophetic symbols. Except for “weighed, weighed, measured and cut” in Daniel (which I understood immediately because I was familiar with the Norns in Norse mythology), I need to wait for the Angel to come and explain it. So I avoid making...

    Is dying on the cross “work”?

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    Jesus might have been like Job and offered sin offerings for his parents and “brothers” and later his disciples “just in case” (Job 1:5). ;) I have a friend that likes to imagine Jesus growing up and all of the Jewish mothers … “That Jesus is such a nice boy, he should meet my single daughter.”...

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    Deuteronomy 29:1 These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which He had made with them at Horeb. I can understand why you would choose not to believe me, but I cannot understand why you choose not...

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    Jesus obeyed THE WHOLE LAW … do you really want to follow your logic to its conclusion? Stop rounding the corners of your head, start offering the required tithe and sacrifices at the temple. You are being selective in your obeying the Law. “For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble...

    Genesis 1, a day, and Billions of years

    The only part that concerns me is the fact that most of the same experts that tell us “it takes 300 million years for coal to form” state with equal certainty and expertise “there is no God”. For those of us who know for certain that they are wrong about God’s existence, it is impossible to...

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    [Mat 1:1 NASB95] 1 The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham: Jesus was an Israelite, so the Covenant belonged to him. [Mar 1:9-11 NASB95] 9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 Immediately...

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    Not wrong. [Deu 29:1-2, 29 NASB95] 1 These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which He had made with them at Horeb. Are you a “son of Israel who has EVER been in the land of Moab? No. Me...

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    Exodus 20: 1 And God spoke all these words, saying: 2 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 “You shall have no other gods before Me. … They were NOT written to all God’s children, they were written to the people that God brought out of...

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    [2 Timothy 2:15 ESV] 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. The video failed the test by recklessly snatching verses from context and misapplying them. Jesus will indeed set you free, but we are...

    Genesis 1, a day, and Billions of years

    Ezra Stiles (1727-1795), the Calvinist president of Yale College, was curious about Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) and his faith. In 1790, he asked the nation’s senior statesman if he would commit his religious beliefs to paper. Franklin agreed. He was nearing the end of his life – he died six...

    Genesis 1, a day, and Billions of years

    Exodus 20 (ESV): 1 And God spoke all these words, saying, 2 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 3 “You shall have no other gods before[fn] me. 4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that...

    SDA question

    What happens to a SDA Dairy Farmer? Cows need to be milked EVERY day and that is clearly your "work".

    Genesis 1, a day, and Billions of years

    The 6 "days" of Genesis 1 are only "indeterminate" because the best evidence is that the time from the formation of light in the Universe (day 1) to the formation of the Earth (day 2) is significantly different than the time from the appearance of fish and birds (day 5) to the appearance of...

    Genesis 1, a day, and Billions of years

    ... and you have done nothing to correct my ignorance by sharing truth. Something scripture claims YOU will be called to give account for. Instead you have chosen to exercise your "gift" of RIDICULE AND DERISION. Which list does that appear in again: "Now the works of the flesh are evident...

    Genesis 1, a day, and Billions of years

    Come on, be honest. 1. Neither is the word TRINITY, but that doesn’t make the teaching false. 2. “Millennium” may not be found, but “thousand years” is found more than once: [Psa 90:4 NASB95] 4 For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it passes by, Or [as] a watch in the...

    Genesis 1, a day, and Billions of years

    Where are the “non-symbolism” chapters in Revelation? Chapter 1: 7 stars and 7 lamp stands Chapter 2: letters to angels of churches, rod of iron, smashed like pottery, gift of the morning star. Chapter 3: people made into the pillar of a temple, people vomited out. Chapter 4: seven lamps are...

    Genesis 1, a day, and Billions of years

    So many words ... and still "there was evening and there was morning" remains untouched. ;) It seems that most are so intent on arguing THEIR settled position that they prefer to treat these words of scripture as if they do not exist.
