  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

6000 years + 1000 years = 7000 years

2 Peter 3 King James Version (KJV)

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Psalm 90 King James Version (KJV)

4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

Thus to LORD 1000 years = one day

Revelation 20 King James Version (KJV)

2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

So satan is bound for one day, GODS day of rest no more sin the seventh day of the cosmic week

Genesis 2 King James Version (KJV)

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Adam did not die on the day he ate of the tree, SO when GOD said he would die " in the day" would be in reference to first 1000 years of the earth.

Genesis 5 King James Version (KJV)
5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

How old is the earth based on the Bible not man?

Could it be about 6000 years?

Your thoughts please

According to the Jewish calendar it's now 5780, based on their dating from creation. That might include interest though, as 'A year in the Hebrew calendar can be 353, 354, 355, 383, 384, or 385 days long.'

The Bible is not a science book

What it is, is very much misunderstood and misinterpreted.


Never said it was however it is the Word of GOD which contains some science and miracles that science cannot explain as hard s they try.

And yes it is misunderstood misinterpreted. However misunderstanding and misinterpreted scriptures are due to man as the Bible only is the truth. Not the fathers unless you believe they are inspired.

But, you cant use the Bible for scientific means, like, dating the earth etc. The Bible is inspired by God. Man has also put his own interpretation of God's word into its writings.

Science can prove the age of the earth. God gave us science. Not everything in the Bible can be taken literally. There is more to it than that.

I think you are taking it too literally. I think one day with the Lord could also be as billion years, or whatever. The point is that God is outside of time and he doesn't experience time in the same way as we do.

the bible says

2 Peter 3 King James Version (KJV)

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

so based on your reply you do not believe the verse above?

I do believe it, I just don't take it literally. I also don't believe that Jesus can be literal bread like Catholics believe even though the Bible says that he is the bread of life.
