1 | How old is the earth scripturally? | Gen 1:1 | thomas ladbroke | 173288 | ||
It must be noted that God exists outside time (see Is 43:13). So one day is like a thousand years (see 2 Pet 3:8) or even a million for that matter. In creating the world he was creating time also. | ||||||
2 | How old is the earth scripturally? | Gen 1:1 | kalos | 173289 | ||
'A Thousand To One 'Some have tried to argue the nonliteral interpretation of the word "day" in Genesis one by referring to what the apostle Peter says in 2Pet. 3:8; that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. But Peter was simply saying that what man regards as a long time is like a mere day in God's reckoning of time. He was speaking in the terms of relative perspectives. It's equivalent to saying: To a very rich man a thousand dollars is like one dollar, whereas, one dollar is like a thousand to a very poor man.' ____________________ Source: www.biblicist.org/bible/light.shtml |

This position is continually held throughout scripture; God is the maker and therefore the owner and Lord. (Job 38:4 "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding,) |
