Yes, knowledge increased....and presented soft dino tissue which shows the eath isn't old.Amen, since God hid His Truth in the discoveries of Science currently being announced. Here's what He told Daniel:
Dan 12:4 ¶ But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
.
Wrong. The bible says God created man in his own image.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Gen 1:27 said God finished.
Gen 9:6 confirms what I said "Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed, For in the image of God He made man."
What does the invisible God look like? God looks like Jesus, also called YHWH in the Old Testament and here is His Image, which He has regained today:
Eze 8:2 Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of His loins even downward, fire; and from His loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.
Jesus is brighter than the noonday Sun and blinded Saul on the road to Damascus AND Jesus is also the Literal Light of Heaven. Rev 21:23 To be "created in God's Image" is to be born again Spiritually in Christ. Amen?
I can give you several opinions of what "IMAGE" means. What makes your cultish opinion correct/
It's supported by Scripture:
Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: Col 1:14 In Whom we have redemption through His blood,even the forgiveness of sins: Col 1:15 ¶ Who is the Image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Amen, since God hid His Truth in the discoveries of Science currently being announced. Here's what He told Daniel:
Dan 12:4 ¶ But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Increased knowledge at the time of the end will pour out God's Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, upon ALL Flesh, including Unbelievers.
Act 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon ALL flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
A good example is the Scientific Fact that every living creature that moves had it's origin in water. Meet Luca, the Ancestor of All Living Things - The New York Times

This was announced in July 2016. God told us the SAME thing in Genesis 1:21 more than 3k years ago. It's empirical (testable) evidence of the Literal God. The future scientific discoveries, in the last days, will continue to confirm what God told us in Genesis chapter One.
You tell us that you alone have correctly understood Scripture, and that every translation throughout history was wrong!
Scripture tells us that "knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation." (2 Pet. 1:20 ESV)
I think I will place my trust in Scripture! Sorry but I just do not trust that you alone have understood something that godly men throughout history failed to understand.
You tell us that you alone have correctly understood Scripture, and that every translation throughout history was wrong!
False accusation since EVERY person (ALL Flesh) of the last days will be able to understand what God told in His Holy Word Luk 3:6 PLUS, I have NEVER said that everyone was wrong on what Scripture said since I show that Adam and Eve KNEW and were born again Spiritually in Christ AFTER Cain killed Abel. Gen 5:1-2
Some people prefer their false religious views and CANNOT support them with Scripture. Can you?
Do you know WHY God hid His Truth from ancient men? allowing ONLY the people of the last days, with increased knowledge to understand?
Note, most scholars see Ge. 1:1-2 as an introductory text that summarized all of what is coming in the rest of the narrative.
That is exactly what science tells us happened i.e. light existed at the very moment of the "big bang" before any stars existed, but until the "big bang" cooled moments, light could not be seen. At the point where it cooled enough, light became visible.
One may debate whether this is what Genesis 1 is talking about, but one cannot argue that there cannot be light without the sun because science tells us otherwise.
This is a highly debated theory that is rejected by the majority of Hebrew scholars.
Theories like the "Framework" theory, resolve a whole lot of these issues.
.....This is one of the more difficult sequence issues.
The creation account in Genesis is uniquely different from the other ANE creation accounts. To try and equate them requires one to ignore significant evidence to the contrary.
Likely true for 1:1, but not true for 1:2, which was the whole point. The initial state is an ocean, which is explicitly stated in Gen 1:2, and which matches creation stories from surrounding areas, like Babylon and Egypt.
Wrong - day 1 ends by explicitly saying there was darkness, then light. Days are defined by the rotation of the earth, so this couldn't be light from the big bang, because the big bang's visible light had ceased long before the earth formed.
I don't think so. If you think so, please post support. Bible scholars are pretty unified that the "firmament" is a solid bowl. Here is a good summary of both Hebrew and evidence based scholars (and this is published in a peer-reviewed journal). The Firmament and the Water Above: Seely
I provide articles when I have time. For the moment I will just give you an example from Scripture that defies this definition i.e. "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. (Ps. 19:1 ESV)"
Out of curiosity, how does your bible translate 2 Chronicles 21:19?
For the moment I will just give you an example from Scripture that defies this definition i.e. "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. (Ps. 19:1 ESV)"
Hebrew poetry is characterized by its use of parallelism and its reliance on synonyms. Here heavens (שמים) and sky (רקיע) are treated as synonyms.
Since you didn't address the evidence, articles, and scholars referenced, I'll take that to mean that you accept them until I see otherwise.
Hebrew poetry is indeed characterized by parallelism - and that parallelism is not usually of exact synonyms (which usually don't exist in languages anyway), but rather of related terms.
Yes, of course the heavens (which are up near the sky) are related to the sky.
That's completely consistent with everything I've posted.
In Christ-
Papias
The NIV has this:
In the course of time, at the end of the second year, his bowels came out because of the disease, and he died in great pain. His people made no funeral fire in his honor, as they had for his predecessors.
Though of course I look at different Bibles as well.

Mathews, Kenneth; Mathews, K. A.. The New American Commentary Volume 1 - Genesis 1-11 B&H Publishing.
הוָ֤ה׀ בְּֽהֵיכַ֤ל֘ קָדְשׁ֗וֹ יְהוָה֘ בַּשָּׁמַ֪יִם כִּ֫סְא֥וֹ (Ps. 11:4 BHS) Here we see God's temple in the heavens (shamyim)
Like the NIV, every translation that I am aware of translates this as "two years." So while you said "days are defined by the rotation of the earth," clearly this isn't the definition that most Hebrew scholars have accepted.
Thanks, that's helpful. It shows that there is some diversity of view, as agreed earlier. Kenneth Mathews is a real scholar, so this is on par with the video I gave of John Heiser - a real scholar who shows that the Bibles give us a flat earth, under a hard dome, underwater - by far the most common view.
This can also be seen that the only peer reviewed point we have (the Seely paper), is the accepted view that the Bibles give us a flat earth, under a hard dome, underwater.
All of those examples are consistent with what I said earlier - that parallelisms require similarity, and not an exact match.
Perhaps - so are you saying that the Genesis days don't mean actual days, and could mean longer spans of time?
