Subject: What was infused? |
Bible Note: Hello nimrod2 It was not my intention of discussing creation accounts, only to point out one place that did your argument diservice. But I'll comment by number anyway. 1. I believe that phrase is used for any part of that period from tribulation through final judgement as well as all of it put together. 2. I agree. 3. An assumption based on silence which weakens its effectiveness in argument. One could as easily say that the "evening and morning" phrase should be assumed since it was used in the first six. 4. A tenuous conclusion regardless of the interpretation of the seventh day closure. Scholars I've read point to the Lord's final kingdom. 5. and 6. Certainly demonstrates God being unaffected by time on earth. 7. Conclusion based on our current abilities and observations. That doesn't make it good or bad, just arguable. 8. The passages are speaking of the unlimited aspect of God's covenant with His people. If each was taken literally, the covenant spoken of must be counted from when that covenant was executed. So in Ps 105:8 it's specifically the Abrahamic covenant. I believe that God created with apparent age, because when He created the creatures, He told them to be fruitful and multiply. Impossible if they didn't have apparent adulthood. Steve |
