Subject: What was Jesus doing in the earth 3 days |
Bible Note: Hi Hank, You ask me two questions. In addressing the second, we are in agreement in concluding that the Bible is not a science book. It teaches us about our God and his only-begotten-Son, Jesus. I have yet to come across the phrase you use, "God the Son" though. When I think of Jesus' godship and his relatonship as taught in the Holy Scriptures with his Father, I most certainly disagree with you. I thought this was established months ago. So I wonder why you ask that of me? But if I am mistaken and it was with another then I apologise and would be more than happy to share the scriptural basis for my conclusion. If not, then have a nice day. The Genesis account of creation allows for the earth to be billions of years old and does not limit each creative day to 24 hours. (Genesis 1:1, 5, 8, 13, 19, 23, 31; 2:3, 4) An honest appraisal of the Bible shows that while it is not a science textbook, it certainly is not “sheer nonsense.” It is, in fact, in complete harmony with proven science. There are about forty known quasars (the active nucleus of a galaxy also known as quasi-stellar objects), the discovery of the most distant one of which was announced on May 17, 1965, and which is known as 3C-9. It is stated that this celestial object is so far away that it seems to be close to the beginning of universal time. “The light is so far away that the light from it began to journey to earth soon after the postulated birth of the universe.” The life of those quasars probably ended during the billions of years that were required for their light to reach our earth. Says the report: “The observed rate at which the universe is expanding suggests that it was born in a single point some thirteen billion years ago—roughly three times the age of the earth.”—New York Times, May 18, 1965, pages one and two. Since light of some stars is many billions of light-years from earth and their light is currently seen, then of course they were in existance billions of years ago. Truthfinder |
