Yes, The Holy Bible says that God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. I believe The Holy Bible, and do not question it. One thing I think of though is, that The Holy Bible also says "That to The Lord a day is but a thousand years and a thousand years is but a day". Praise be to God.

I thought you said that you don't follow the old testament?
by Reptar on February 23rd, 2010
Reptar, When did I say I do not read The Old Testament? I do read the New Testament more then I read The old testament.
The bible passage I quoted is from
THE NEW TESTAMENT: 2 Peter:8 "But do not forget this my dear friends: With The Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day".

Uhm. The question was whether you believe that the 6 day figure was literal, that is to say, as defined by 6 rotations of the earth. You're saying he more likely took millenia, so your answer is in fact 'No'.
Of course, the whole question is utterly nonsensical according to the bible as it tries to claim the Sun was placed on day 4...
But of course, without the planet rotating to face the sun, you don't even HAVE the concept of a day at all, so trying to say that god used up 3 of them before the sun even existed is just hilariously paradoxical.
Indeed without the sun for the earth to orbit around, or an axis to tilt towards/away from it, you have no years, no seasons. No real means of measuring time whatsoever in the classical sense - certainly not using the terms referred to in the bible.

Vestin, Please understand that I am not questioning IF God created the world. I know He did. I am not saying that The Holy Bible is wrong, by saying God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh.
What I am saying is, because The Lord has said "To The Lord, a day is like a thousand years and a thousand are like a day". Could we as humans, misunderstood what The Holy Bible says about the creation being made in 6 days. It is only a thought that crossed my mind. I am not saying that, that is how it happened, I just had a thought. I love Our Dear Lord Jesus and I have no question, at all, that God created the whole world.

I wasn't talking about you're quote, I was refering to Genesis. I never said that you said you don't read the O.T, just that you told me you follow the N.T.

_"Yes, The Holy Bible says that God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. I believe The Holy Bible, and do not question it."_
Yeah and I bet if the bible told you to jump in front of a moving train you'd do that too right? Since you do not have an evolved enough brain to question it...

HumourMe, Laugh at me if you want to, BUT remember lots of people laughed at Noah, when he was building the ark.

Reptar, on February 23rd your comment was "I thought you said that you don't follow the old testament".
Anyway Reptar, no problem.
God bless

Yes, I thought you did say that you don't follow the O.T. I remember you commenting to some quotes I posted from the the old testament, and I thought you said something about just following the new testament.
by Reptar on February 28th, 2010
I don't remember Reptar. Anyway, you and I are both searching for the truth, and we are both on the right path, so that is good.

Even though the bible says thou shall not kill unless for food or self defence then it says all the way throughout it to kill people who break Gods laws!

Zenrean, your comment did not come through?

Why must every Christian who has faith, also of necessity believe that everything in the Bible must be literally true? It is NOT a requirement of faith to also believe that nothing is symbolic or a metaphor! Six "Days" of Creation is merely six STAGES consisting of millions of years each. Why keep science and religion at odds?

Because one is fantasy and one is not.

Macavity, in order for you to KNOW God created the world, you would have had to be PRESENT when it happened and been a WITNESS. But you only BELIEVE deeply that the report in the Bible is correct. Having a strong FEELING even a "conviction" is not really and actually KNOWING. Many people FEEL that they KNOW God. But unless and until you meet Him Face-to-face (and not merely have a "relationship" with God) it will remain only a BELIEF or having FAITH that He Exists!
