Given that the Jews who the tradition was basically started with practice it on Saturday, and Genesis supports that, I do not see how people come to argue against the Sabbath being saturday. Too much modern church influence has been involved with this issue.

Have you studied out the occurrences of yom to find out if there are other occurrences or not? I could give you some examples. These are not isolated instances in the creation account. I appreciate your trying to clarify my question about evolution and the big bang that seemingly everyone...

I just said that was a quote I heard recently that I thought was funny, that doesn't really make anything come "full circle".

Nice addition to your last comment, but that still doesn't change that the Bible is unlike any other book and doesn't really reflect how lesser books are written.

Sorry Mallon, no I do not think it is foolish at all. The fact is the Bible is not an easy read to understand, it is a book that people spend years if not decades trying to grasp everything in and die still wondering about certain areas. That is a challenge for many reasons, one of those being...

Oh my goodness, another young earth creationist? And here I thought this site was totally overrun by evolutionists! Nice, welcome marc15!

I just said that every one of the occurrences out of that 2301 in the OT where it refers to a morning or evening is found to be referring to a literal day of 24 hours, that is how it is relevant, like I said before. And try to keep up, thefijian, with all you guys throwing their evolutionary...

Your area of genesis you quoted about the heel is after the creation account, and to be clear, I did say that there are figures used in many areas, just not the creation account. Though you think it is odd that I admit there are figures used in many areas, you have to agree, there are other...

Neither one of those verses, assyrian, mentions anything about a morning or evening as I said if you look what I said earlier.

Does every other person in this thread believe in evolution and a non-literal genesis account?

I have no idea what you are talking about here.

Okay, how would you explain the wording of it? I know many of you want to believe that the word day can be millions of years somehow, but that word, the hebrew word "yom" is used 2301 times in the OT and we aren't really confused by any of the other times like this, and any one of those 2301...

You do have a point, in that I agree some areas need to be interpreted more carefully because they are figurative and some are literal, I agree on that. If I seemed to suggest ALL OF THE BIBLE should always be interpreted literally, then I either said something incorrectly or was...

I guess I took us off track a little, sorry guys for that. I guess if you want to discuss things further you can feel free to PM me, dark lite, but it seems apparent we just have very different interpretations of certain areas of Scripture, so it makes sense out views would not align I suppose...

dark lite, it makes sense why you are not understanding my position as much now that you clarified that you believe paul is talking about a non-literal death. I can see how that would confuse things. Unfortunately Scripture only tells us of one type of death for us, physical death. Oh, and...

Would you guys really not agree, some things in revelation need to be taken literally and some do not? I mean, do you think that verse is talking about three different individuals in the serpent, the devil and satan? I mean, come on people!

Nope, it is not. Genesis 1:29... 29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. If it makes you feel better though, maybe I should have clarified to no animals or...

Satan was in the form of a serpent we know from Scriptures, as Rev. 20:2 clarifies for us.... 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.

But we know from Scripture that those were given to them to eat, so obviously God knew those would be consumed and killed in such fashion without the involvement of sin.

But you just supported what it says, that they were vegetarians until after the flood, so no actual animals or fish or flying things died before that.
