Hi Tim you say Even if the Jews believed this, the issue is what does the Bible teach? First off we can learn alot about what the OT teaches from the Jews , because unto them it was given. It is in the NT that the Jews come to their greatest error,not believeing that Jesus Christ is the Massiah. Now saying this I'm not saying that they didn't have a wrong interpitation of the scriptures sometimes,they were men such as we ourselves are. You also write There are still two problems with this view. 1)That they are a similie. You state that it is a similie because it uses the word AS and you take it to mean LIKE, but whenever it is used with numeral the word signifies ABOUT. hos (5613) usually means “as.” Used with numerals it signifies “about,” e.g., Mark 5:13; 8:9; John 1:40; 6:19; 11:18; Acts 1:15; Rev. 8:1 W.E. Vine, Merrill F. Unger and William White, Vine’s complete expository dictionary of Old and New Testament words [computer file], electronic ed., Logos Library System, (Nashville: Thomas Nelson) 1997, c1996.So if you read 2Pet.3:8 with the word about instead of like this does away with the similie,and back up what the Jews believe conserning time. 2)You say that the other problem is that there are only two verses which even mention this tidbit! This may be so ,but if it was only mentioned once in the bible I would believe it. I have always found that if something is written in the OT you can find it in the NT , and vice versea.For the OT point to the NT and the NT refers to the OT.And when you find it in both the OT and the NT they become witnesses one of another , and no to better witnesses can I find. May the Blessings of God the Father, Christ the son,and the Holy Spirit be upon us all amen.Scott |

Hi Tim heres a couple of other translation for concideration.The Jerusalem Bible But there is one thing,my friends, that you must never forget: that with the Lord,a day can mean a thousand years,and a thousand years is like a day. Interlinear Geek and English NT revised Standard Version and Zondervan Parallel NT Greek and English both read But this one thing let not be concealed from you,beloved that one day with the lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as day one. Now this may not say that a thousand years is a day ,but it does show that God veiws time differant then we do. When I said that a thousand years was a day I was in error as I was making the same mistake I believe that those who say a day is a day and thats all it is ,is making.You cannot put a time limit on the why God looks at a day,it my be 24hrs,in one place,1000yrs in another,or even greater or lesser periods of time. Therefore when you state that a day is 24hrs in Gen. you are putting on God a time table that man relates to,not God. The word day come from the Hebrew word YOWM(stong's lexicon)Now for those that take yowm to be 24hrs in Gen. have to take it to be 24hrs in other books of the bible also.If you don't to my way of thinking you are only tring to make it fit with what you believe not to what the scriptures actualy say.It was because of the study of the word yowm that I seen my error in holding God to a thousand years, one day pricipal,but with God a day can be either longer or shorter then a thousand years,I for one will not hold Him to a thousand years much less a 24hr day. Here are some of the scriptures I came across to change my way of thinking.NU.20:15 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time(yowm); and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:here we have a 400yr day. 1Sa.7:2And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time(yowm) was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.Here we have a 20yr day. 1Ki.11:42And the time(yowm) that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years. 40yr day.1Ch.29:2727And the time(yowm) that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.7year plus 33year day.There are others I could quote but this shoul be sufficent to show that no one knows how long a day is with God. Now lets look at evening and morning for in Gen.1:5 these two words make a day.You believe it to be 24hrs but read Da.8:14And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days(evening and morning); then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.Here we have a evening and morning that is 2300days.Do these not all show that a day(yowm)is 24hrs,and much more then 24hrs. Only God knows his time table and if we limit him by our understanding of time we do Him a great diservies by making Him conform to us and not us to Him.In Christ Scott |

83 | time | Acts 1:3 | Sctt | 44766 | ||
Hi Tim I'm not sure of your point with Dan. 8:14. Wouldn't 2,300 'evenings and mornings' be 2,300 days? The word days comes from the same word evening and morning in Gen1:5. so it would follow that if evening and morning is one day,then the evening and morning here is 2300years. If you use the word days as evenings and mornings are you not making the evening and morning in Gen.1:5 evenings and mornings as they come from the same Hebrew words evening (ereb)morning(boqer).If you do it would read ...And the evenings and the mornings were the first day.I hope I you can understand what i'm trying to say because sometime I have a hard time expressing my thoughts on paper.In Christ Scott. | ||||||
84 | time | Acts 1:3 | Sctt | 44811 | ||
Hi Tim Da.8:14 4And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. Reads Unto two thousand and three hundred evening(ereb)and morning(boqer). Gen.1:5 And the evening and the morning were the first day. or the evening(ereb)and the morning(boqer) were the first day.Now if you say that the evening and the morning in Da.8:14 is evenings and mornings you also have to say that the evening and the morning in Gen.1:5 is evenings and mornings because they have the same meanings (ereb) and (boqer).No matter how you look at it the day is much more then 24hrs. As I have already said God showed me that I was putting a limit of time on Him by making a day a thousand years,you to fall into this error by making a day a 24hr day. When we make the day in Gen.1:5 a 24hr day we are making Gods word conform to our idea of what a day is instead of comforming to Gods idea of a day is. Which no man can tell for God dwells without time. Also remember that the sun,moon and stars were not created till the forth day,and that these were given for days ,seasons,years etc.now because these were not given till the forth day this shows us that God did not look at a day as 24hrs or He would have created them on the first day. to me this is a clear statement that God did created the days in His time and not our understanding of time. Therefore if you make it a 24hr day you make God dwell in time and we know that He does not,for He is timeless.I hope youcan see my meaning because as God is timeless we cannot restrict Him to the time it took to create the world. If it took Him 10,000,000yrs to Him it would be but a day.God bless,you brother in the Lord Scott |

Hi Deb i believe what paul is saying here is not to put a stumbling block before you brother with the strong meat that God has given you.if you give a child meat before he can digest it he will choke on it.so if you are in the midst of those new to Christ feed them milk until they are able to digest the meat that God has given you.for when we fight and argue we create divisions among ourselves and become as those who have need of milk and not meat.1:co.3:1-3.Heb.5:12-14 | ||||||

Brothers and sisters I have been called into account before the lockman review board for my belief in what the scriptures say concerning the creation of man , the tree of knowledge of good and evil , the serpent in the garden , Gods law and Cain’s wife. I have been accused by some on the forum of not believing in Gods word and I have been called a fool because of my views. I write this not to condemn those that have accused me but to let you judge for yourselves weather or not these views are true. I have written a paper that contains these views and if you would like to read it I would be happy to send it to you. my Email is ScttTst@netscape.net I have given you my Email because I do not know how much longer I will be with you as I may be kicked off of the forum. May God give to those of the lockman foundation who reveiw these things wisdom. I’ll warn you ahead of time that some of what God has shown me goes against what you may have been taught to believe , but it is all backed up with scripture. 1Co.2:9-10 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. God bless. your brother in Christ, Scott. |

Hi Hank I am sorry to hear you say this because I have been judged before all has been said on the matter. I have indevered to answer all question that have been given me though the sciptures,but have been cut off each time by those who cannot or will not answer the questions that I have asked. If as you say my views are already weighed in the balance and found wanting of scriptural support how come those questions I have asked never get answered. Is not this forum here to ask question and give answers to bible questions? Also how can one be judge before all evidance is in? I am willing to discuss my beliefs with anyone weather or not they agree with me. If my views are wrong as you say is it not you duty as a christian to show me by the scriptures were I am wrong? If you can show me by the scriptures my views to be wrong than praise God for I am only after the truth and all christians should be of like mind also. In Christ Scott. | ||||||

Hi new creature Eph.1:4-5 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world,that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself,according to the good pleasure of his will. Jn.15:16 Ye have not chosen me,but I have chosen you,and ordained you,that ye should go and bring forth fruit,and that your fruit should remain... This is the mercy ,grace ,unmerited faveour of God that he would call us sinners unto repentance. He chose us for we would not willingly chose him,for out of the heart proceed evil thoughts,murders,adulteries,fornications,thefts,false witness,blasphemies.Mt.15:19.Now do you think that a person who had a heart like that would willingly chose God?No God chose man and placed him in the garden to train him in obediance to his word. |

95 | where was Jesus? | Eph 4:8 | Sctt | 41179 | ||
HI searcher if they came out of the graves when he died then they would have been resurected before him Col1:18 says And he is the head of the body,the church:who is the beginning, the FIRSTBORN FROM THE DEAD;that in all things he might have the preeminence. | ||||||
96 | where was Jesus? | Eph 4:8 | Sctt | 41527 | ||
Hi Searcher I've reread this passage and if you take what is said as two differant sentances (my spellings terrible) I see where you are comming from.I use KJV and it reads as one sentance ...and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,and came out of the graves after his resurrection,and went into the holy city,and appeared unto many. That said i've also read other translations that make it two sentances. But in all the translations i've read it does say they came out of the graves after his resurrection.So lets agree with what the scriptures say , but this does not have to do away with your interpitation of it for I thank we are both right. The graves were open and the saints arose,but stayed in their graves(tombs,caves)until the resurrection.Maybe it was while they were in their tombs Jesus preached the gospel unto them. I hope this make sense of the two different points of view. In Christ Scott. | ||||||

98 | where was Jesus? | Eph 4:8 | Sctt | 41840 | ||
Good thought , they paid the guards to lie and say that his disciples came by at night a stold his body. what did they say about all those that came out of there graves with him? At this time they must have realised that he was the Messiah , but to this day still reject Him. When those that came out of their graves with Him showed themselves this must have proved to them that Jesus was the resserection and the life.Goes to show you what depths man will go to ,to reject Christ. | ||||||

Hi new creature you are right we should check out everything with prayer to God that His word may inlighten our understanding. But I have come across this time and again that those who have a preconcieved idea of what the bible says do not do this , they won't or cannot answer question that are asked of them because they find it hard to back up what they believe. If one comes in with a differant point of view they may read it but do not check with Gods word to see if it is true or not , but reject it out of hand. May God bring us back to His word as the only source of interpitation of the truth. | ||||||
