Makarios: You are correct. If anyone else had really wanted to know the facts concerning this matter, they could have found them with very little effort. Notice the text of Genesis 1:5 and accompanying translators notes from the NET. New English Translation Genesis 1:5 God called the light "day" and the darkness "night." There was evening, and there was morning, marking the first day.[22] '[22] Another option is to translate, "Evening came, and then morning came." This formula closes the six days of creation. It seems to follow the Jewish order of reckoning time: from evening to morning. Day one started with the dark, continued through the creation of light, and ended with nightfall. Another alternative would be to translate, "There was night and then there was day, one day." 'The first day. The exegetical evidence suggests the word "day" in this chapter refers to a literal twenty-four hour day. It is true that the word can refer to a longer period of time (see Isa 61:2, or the idiom in 2:4, "in the day," that is, "when"). But this chapter uses "day," "night," "morning," "evening," "years," and "seasons." Consistency would require sorting out how all these terms could be used to express ages. Also, when the Hebrew word yom (oy) is used with a numerical adjective, it refers to a literal day. Furthermore, the commandment to keep the Sabbath clearly favors this interpretation. One is to work for six days and then rest on the seventh, just as God did when he worked at creation' (www.netbible.com). |

Kalos, Thank you for posting the excellent notes from the NET Bible! This additional material provides ample evidence that the Bible CAN make sense all by itself by reading what the Bible says at face value. Excellent post! - Makarios |

Hi Makarios I'm not saying 930 years is not 930 years , or 6 days not 6 days. What i'm trying to say is that the 930 years of Adam life was less then the (1) day that God told Adam he would die in. When God told Adam he would die in the DAY that he ate of the fruit of the tree Adam died. Adam died at 930 years of age , the bible says in the Day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. So one DAY is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one DAY 2Pet.3:8KJV , so Adam died before the DAY was completed.So if God makes a differance here in the day of Adams death ,whos to say that He did not also do this on the days of creation? I hope this helps answer the question on 4-8-2. Questions to you , did Adam die in the day God said he would? If your answer is yes does this not show a 1000 year one day principle? In Christ Scott |

Scott, please take a moment to free yourself of your 1,000-year harness and all that symbolism while you mull over the following: You obviously see the 'surely die' words that God spoke to Adam as meaning only Adam's physical death. But did not Adam's disobedience lead also to his separation from God, i.e., by his disobedience Adam actually experienced another kind of death -- spiritual death that came about because of sin? Think about it. --Hank | ||||||

Hi Hank I do beleive that Adam died a spiritual death , but that he also died a natural death as well. Makarios stated that a day is a day,and will not allow for it to be longer then a day(at least that my understaning of what he is saying) ,and I was trying to explain that a day could also represent a 1000 years. If you read all my corispondances to those on this link you will see I beleive there is both a natural and a spiritual application to the scriptures.In Christ Scott |
