Subject: How many daze? How many confused? |
Bible Note: How many daze? How many confused? (Repost) If I understand him correctly, Sctt is saying: The fact that Adam did not die on the exact 24-hour-day in which he sinned absolutely proves that a day need not be 24 hours long, but could indeed be any length of time from 24 hours to 1,000 years. But it seems to me that such a loose definition of the word 'day' would be very confusing to the priests of the OT who kept God's laws regarding sabbath days, feast days, holy days, etc. Should one rest and abstain from all work for 24 hours or for 1,000 years? Was Jonah in the belly of the great fish for 72 hours or 3,000 years? Did Moses and Elijah fast for 24 hours multiplied by 40 or for 40,000 years? * * * * * * * * * * * * * For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. 2 Tim 4:3a NIV |
