7 Day creation- literal or figurative?

[Kenneth Redden]

I believe the seven days of the Creation is a re-occurring event. Evident because of the plurality of the word, "heavens" in Genesis 2:1 and because of the many "doublets" of days that can be found throughout the KJV Bible.

 

[Kenneth Redden]

I agree since Genesis chapter One is the entire History of God's 6 Days (period of time) of the Creation. We live today at Gen 1:27 and we will not advance to the prophecy of Gen 1:28-31 until AFTER Jesus returns. Currently, God is STILL creating sinners in Christ Spiritually, and the prophecy of Gen 1:28 is FUTURE. God's Days are many Billions of years in man's time.



Because there are none. You say that my concept has been refuted (proven wrong) but I know that you are in error for the following reasons:

1. Is it still possible to be born again Spiritually? That confirms that God is STILL creating mankind in His Image, which is in Christ Spiritually. Gen 1:27
2. Genesis 1:28 is Prophecy of the FUTURE since it shows that mankind will be given dominion or rule over every other living creature, including Angels. There has NEVER been a time in Human history when this event has taken place.
3. Gen 1:30 is Prophecy of a Future event, when all animals become vegetarians, which will not take place until AFTER Jesus returns. Isaiah 11:7 shows that Lions will eat Straw like the Ox, then. Remember that the Lion will lay down by the Lamb?
4. God sees the end from the beginning. When He says that it is very good at the end of the present 6th Day, Gen 1:31 ALL inhabitants (hosts) of Heaven will be safely in Heaven. Gen 2:1

Unless you can refute the above verses, which you CANNOT, your criticism is noted but also soundly refuted, Scripturally. Just because YOU disagree with what is written does NOT refute it. Amen?

I even asked you for a web site that supported your views...and you have refused to present one. Why?<<

I answered. >>Because there are none.<<

I support my views with God's Holy Word in agreement with Science and History. Can you tell us of any web site which does the same? Or is that too high a standard for the world?

I answered. >>Because there are none.<<..........Imagine that.

I believe we live on the fourth day of the last week of the Creation, the day God "made the stars also", Genesis 1:16.

 

[Kenneth Redden]

Nope. Adam died immediately. That's why we are all born dead and need the Spirit to receive life.

The problem with most people is that they read the account of the fall and say "look, Adam didn't die the same day." They forget that death means separation from God, not just the cessation of physical bodily functions. Thus why we are "dead in our sins" until we receive the Spirit. Also why the "second death" is being thrown into the lake of fire and suffering eternal torment therein. It's not about cessation of physical functions, it's about separation from God. And the second death is a final separation from God.

 

[Kenneth Redden]

Adam died on the day he was created, which was the first day of the Creation, Mark 10:6, as illustrated by our first doublet, Genesis 5:5, beginning Genesis 2:4.

Our first doublet begins from everlasting in Genesis 2:4, the second day in Genesis 6:1 and the third day begins in Genesis 8:1.

I don't think so.

You have to twits the bible into a pretzel to get that interpretation.

Have you ever known something which is true Scripturally scientifically and historically, and which cannot be refuted? My support is from God in the Bible, which you apparently cannot understand. If you could, you would have told us already of my problem. Want to try so everyone will come to know what is actually written? God Bless you

If what you are preaching is the truth...more people than JUST YOU....would know about it.

Please use scripture to back up your claims. I can't relate to "pretzel" in this circumstance.

Your to easy Kenneth...you said "Adam died on the day he was created,"

To make this work you must twist the bible like a pretzel.

It's really very simple. The first day continues until the coming of the waters, in Genesis 7:1 with talk of the flood. The third day comes when in Genesis 8:14, "was the earth dried."

I'm after thoughts and opinions Gods 7-day creation. Did Moses right it as a narrative to the Israelites? Is Genesis all figurative language?

Thoughts and opinions on the controversial topic!

Moses did not really write it. Moses was used of God as His pen to write Genesis. Its prophetical writing. The Holy Spirit controlled (gently) the mind of Moses as he wrote.


2 Peter 1:19-21

We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well
to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts. Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came
about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things For prophecy never had its origin in the
human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along
by the Holy Spirit.

That was why Moses could speak in terms of the creation of this world as if he were an eye witness. The prophetic spirit we assume predicts the future. But, the Spirit of God is not limited by any timeline. The Holy Spirit can as easily predict the future, as well as the Spirit can report the prehistoric past.

I would say that if you are worried about what Moses did, you are looking at it from the wrong millennium. We should ask why this telling of days can be found throughout the KJV Bible. The most provocative, beginning Revelation 6.
I believe the KJV was written for us to understand the days of the Creation. There is no private prophecy of the scripture, 2 Peter 1:20, it is all about the days of the Creation; in witness of the righteousness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Genesis 1 is, amongst other things, a quiet polemic against the pagan gods. Whereas they were thought of as having responsibility for different aspects of creation, Genesis 1 is saying that the God of Israel is Creator and Lord of all things.

No God did not create the universe in seven days.

Amen, since God is STILL creating new Christians to fill Heaven at the end of the present 6th Day/Age as Gen 1:27 states. Soon, Jesus will return to this Planet and give Christians dominion or rule over EVERY other living creature. Gen 1:28 This is possible because He will change ALL people and ALL living creatures into Vegetarians. Gen 1:30 This prophecy is fulfilled in:

Isa 11:7 And the cow and the bear SHALL feed; their young ones SHALL lie down together: and the Lion SHALL eat straw like the ox.

This prophecy is easily refuted IF someone can show us a time in the PAST when Lions were plant eaters. Otherwise, it's future to 2016. Amen?

Even if Lions were plant eaters...the verse is still future.
Ptior to the fall of Adam and Eve in the garden I believe Lions were plant eaters.

I believe the heaven and the earth were created from everlasting; but there were other doctrine, the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, from Revelation 2:15 for example, of which the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees in Matthew 16:12, is a part.
