It's time to ask this question...

The text surrounding the six days and the usage of the term in other portions of the bible along with early christian writing show us the days were literal.

On the other hand, I have shown verses that clearly show angels have been referred to as stars and that angels can shine brightly. So the literal star, or object could be a literal angel identified as a star.

Of course it really could be a real star way out in space...see my post 16.

Not so. You use a figurative verse to justify your inturperetation of a literal verse. There is never one literal verse in the Bible that refers to angels as stars. There is not descriptive verse in the the bible that says they look like stars, only that they were bright. Moses and Elijah are also described as bright, could it had been them?

I suppose it could have been them, but I doubt it. Like the angels they have not been referred to as stars.

What do you think the star was lotar?

Nor are angels.
You accept that this may be a possibility, yet reject such a liberal interpretation of the creation? Atleast there is a reason behind the latter.


Most likely just that, a star. Possibly a number of stars that came into close alignment to create one bright star in the sky. It may also have been a comet. I really don't know.

Hmmmmm, think about it. For got to make a star move so that it travels across the sky, then stop it over the house where Jesus was meant that God had to push the star many light years across the sky. Which I'm ok with.

The problem is that the Theo-Evos seem to have a problem with God moving stars across the sky during the creation period so why allow it in this instance?

I knew it! He had to eventually bring it around to the creation of the universe some how.

Here, in this particular instance, I have no qualms with God moving a star about the firmament (get the pun?).

However, there is proof directly contradicting Genesis 1:1-8 as a literal history, so I have problems with it.

* Bushido216 wonders how long he has until he has to explain this again.

Hmmmmm, funny how you know it wasn't an angel...is it because I said it might be and you gotta disagree with everything I post?

So you think it was a close alignment that made it look like a bright star??? Then explain how it moved ahead of the magi and then stopped over the house.
You also need to explain how a star can stop directly above a house. That particular star would be directly above every house in that town.
