1 | Year Long Sabbath | Acts 1:3 | nimrod2 | 43910 | ||
I don't know how it can be any plainer than the nose on my face. The land is to have a year of rest. |

2 | Year Long Sabbath | Acts 1:3 | Makarios | 43993 | ||
I don't know how to make this any plainer.. You are infusing your own interpretations into the Word of God, and stating ideas that are simply not there within the context to begin with. |

3 | What was infused? | Acts 1:3 | nimrod2 | 44056 | ||
I have infused absolutely nothing into the reading of this scripture. It speaks for itself. Six years of planting and harvest, the seventh is a full year of rest, a Sabbath that is one year in duration. What "idea" specifically are you accussing of me of stating? You seem to be the one infusing a doctrine, that of the Ussher doctrine, one that is not Biblically based, or did I miss a passage that states that creation is 6006 years old? The Holy Bible states who created(God), what was created (the Heavens and the Earth), how it was created (God spoke it into being), why it was created (because it was "very good") and it even tells us WHEN.....in the "beginning".....However please note that no man made date or calendar is present. Any apparent contradiction must stem from human misinterpretation. The only purpose served by Ussher's chronology is a feeble attempt to make people comfortable or uncomfortable, as the case may be, about the awesome creative power of a God that is far beyond the rationalizing capabilites of either you or I. Yes, for all I know the earth might be 6,006 years old. I do know that all truth is God's truth and I am not willing to make a fool of the Almighty's plan by trying to incorporate a young earth philosophy into scripture when it is not needed to adhere to the message of salvation. I can say with confidence that there is no specific record of what day or time God created. Having said that I'm still willing to listen to your reasoning why I am wrong, as long as it is scripturally sound reasoning based on truth and not assumptive speculation. Your brother in Christ |

4 | What was infused? | Acts 1:3 | Makarios | 44059 | ||
Greetings Nimrod, You are obviously stating that the "Sabbath" is used to describe both the seventh day and the seventh year of rest for the land. However, what you imply to say, or, your 'intent' is to say, that the "Sabbath" can mean more than just a day. And you are relying on this explanation in the context of 'days' and 'years', specifically within the context of the Genesis account, where you use this explanation to support your theory that the earth was created within six periods of time rather than that of literal days. What I am accusing you of doing is using a "false substitution" for supporting your theory, something that cannot be immediately derived simply by reading the Scriptures together or independently of themselves. Therefore, I believe that you have infused your own interpretation (based on the above logic) within your explanation of the Scripture. And I believe that this, at best, is misleading, and a misapplication of Scripture. I am not knowledgeable of the Ussher doctrine, so I could hardly be guilty of trying to infuse that within my explanations. However, if you misapply this concept of the "Sabbath" to days and years, then what else will you misapply or distort within Scripture? I pray that you have not the inclination nor the liberty do to this with the Gospel message. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Dear Makarios, I do my best to keep an open mind. As is typical with many literalists I have encountered over the years, you are more interested in making my viewpoint out to be heresy, to witness your comments: "false substitution" "at best, is misleading, and a misapplication of Scripture." "what else will you misapply or distort within Scripture?" What else indeed dear brother. I know your kind. End the slap in the face with a "Blessings to you". Thank God opinion is still free in this country. The idea that an opinion is not legitimate because it is "based on his own conception of how or when God created" negates every opinion possible... even yours, because that is exactly all anyone has to go on, even after reading and studying the Bible; each of us has a conception of how God should be. Even you. And peace be with you. |
