Subject: time |
Bible Note: Hi Makarios I can see that you and Hank are of the same opinion this subject but you state that my theory of 1000 years as one day and one day as a 1000 years is proven wrong.Bear with me one more time as I try to make myself clear. God told Adam he would die in the day he ate of the fruit of the tree,you maintain this to be a spiritual death,I on the other hand maintain it to be both a spiritual death and a natural death.He died a spiritual death the moment he ate of the fruit of the tree , this was the beginning of that day, the beginning of the 1000 year day , but he also died within the 1000 years at 930 years of age. It was in this 1000 year day that Adam had his sons and daughters.Adam did not live past 1000 years of age so he in fact died a natural death before the day was over.Lets look at the word die it comes from the Hebrew word MUWTH and has this meaning 4191 muwth (mooth) a primitive root; TWOT - 1169; v AV - die 424, dead 130, slay 100, death 83, surely 50, kill 31, dead man 3, dead body 2, in no wise 2, misc 10; 835 GK - 4637 tWm 1) to die, kill, have one executed 1a) (Qal) 1a1) to die 1a2) to die (as penalty), be put to death 1a3) to die, perish (of a nation) 1a4) to die prematurely (by neglect of wise moral conduct) 1b) (Polel) to kill, put to death, dispatch 1c) (Hiphil) to kill, put to death 1d) (Hophal) 1d1) to be killed, be put to death 1d1a) to die prematurely Enhanced Strong’s Lexicon, (Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.) 1995. Nowhere here does it state anything about a spiritual death or seperation from God. If you take a litteral stance to the scriptures Adam had to die a natural death in the day he ate of the fruit of the tree,and as the bible does not lie , the 1000 year one day principle is the only alternative to what God said " for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die". The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. To take a day is a day and that is all it is is makeing God a liar,I cannot except this as God DOES NOT LIE. 2Pet.3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. Now as to Acts 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.One blood. You say this is Adam , I beleave this to be Jesus Christ.May God bless you and I hope we can come together again and reason the scripures together. Your brother in Christ Scott. |
