Sometimes my own responses I amaze myself. That's when I know the Holy Spirit is involved.

OEC: To say God created everything in 7 days or 7 periods of times would both be taking the Bible literally, because the word works both ways

Me: If it's periods of time and you could prove that I have no problem believing it. But no OEC has been able to prove otherwise and explain why 4 parts of a day are included. To explain it away they claim: Well the translators had it wrong. Well when you attack the messenger to destroy the message that makes the whole Bible wrong. End of response.

I have no problem reversing views on theology or creation beliefs. But no OEC has been able to prove OEC while keeping the 4 parts of a day included on the first day of creation. part of finding truth is that regardless of what you believe to always be open to correction.

I'm not YEC because I was taught or raised that way. I have considered most all things concerning Biblical and secular beliefs. YEC, OEC, TE, and ToE. But using the Bible as the truth only YEC fits and that's why I'm YEC.

Problems:

1) OEC: I found that over 90% of the Bible dealing with creation I have to ignore to believe it.
2) TE: Over 95% of the Bible concerning creation I have to ignore.
3) ToE 100% of the whole Bible I have to ignore to believe it.

YEC is the only belief that I find is 99% in harmony with God's word. Why not 100%? No one can acheive 100% truth except God.

lol I don't know oo, but let me go all biblical now, in 2 peter 3:8 here d bible tell us dat one day 4 God is a thousand years 4 man, so going by dis I will say God create d world six thousands years(,by man standard) not six days.

jerflakes:


Couldn't it have been more realistic if everything was created with the snap of a finger?

In nano seconds

Instead of 6days or 6000days?

Jesse01:


it could but like it is written in d good book(Bible) God is working, even d Angeles in heaven's are also working, so dat means God did not or will not do anything, wit just a snap of a finger. it takes time, dat where u get d expression God time is the best.

OLAADEGBU:


"For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day..." (Exodus 20:11a).

I know it is possible but let us just stick to how long God said He did it and He created it within six days.

jerflakes:


But how did the Bible know the world was created in 6days?

Nobody was there, so who told them?

I know God didn't tell anyone

OLAADEGBU:


God personally wrote it with His own finger on a table of stones as received by Moses. (See the 4th Commandment in Exodus 20).

You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.

jerflakes:


The 4th commandment:



So, where does it say it?

OLAADEGBU:


Wrong. That was the 2nd commandment you quoted. Try again.

jerflakes:


Ok seen it, good work

kachi19:


He didn't and didn't do it alone... i do tell christians to search for other lost or dumped books of the bible they hold so much more information

OLAADEGBU:


Could God Really Have Created Everything In Six Days?

KEY: OEC = Old Earth Creationist; YEC = Young Earth Creationist; TE = Theist Evolutionist; ToE = Theory of Evolutionist.

"But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day" (2 Peter 3:8.).

That verse is saying that God can do in one day what will take natural processes to do in a thousand years. It was not talking about how long it took God to create. Only God can tell us how long it took Him to do it and He has recorded that in Exodus 20:11 which says:

"For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day..." (Exodus 20:11a).

Nairaland needs an ignore button! I'd gladly make sure I don't have to read this twoddle!

OLAADEGBU:


You calling the Word of God a 'twoddle'?

budaatum:


No degbu. I'm calling what you write, twoddle.

OLAADEGBU:


That's why I say you must be born again.

budaatum:


You seem to think being born again means being ignorant. It doesn't. God does not promote the non-use of the senses you are given.

OLAADEGBU:


"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but to us which are saved it is the power of God" (1 Corinthians 1:18).

And that common-sense of yours is what is getting in the way between you and Christ. It is only when you are convinced and convicted of sin that Christ will become intelligible to you.

budaatum:


Science is not "common sense", degbu, please at least use your eyes!

Science is the use of the senses, one of which is the use of your eyes It is so you can use your senses right that Jesus kept healing the blind.

OLAADEGBU:


"But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6).

If your 5 senses are working well you will know that the evidence of the Creator is His Creation but if you want to receive anything from this Creator you need to come to Him by faith.

budaatum:


I'm sure my faith is between God and myself, and has nothing to do with you, but if you receive what I receive from my Creator, you would not be advocating the ignorance you promote here! You'd have far many more senses than 5 to start with.

OLAADEGBU:


"But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6).

If your 5 senses are working well you will know that the evidence of the Creator is His Creation but if you want to receive anything from this Creator you need to come to Him by faith.

OLAADEGBU:


You definitely need more than your 5 senses to accept the Word of God as infallible and accurate in the first place.

budaatum:


I'll call this a step forward on your part, though I doubt you've developed the senses that would allow you to understand how the Word of God is infallible and accurate. I'd teach you too, but I know you are not yet ready to accept Jesus Christ into your life.
