I'm sorry for that.
It's possibly due to a genuine desire to explain things and an inability to get through to you.
Maybe we should all have learnt our lesson by now.
You could build a camera to take a picture of it from high above where God is if you believe that sort of thingI'm sorry toobut You'll never convince me that the earth is a spinning globe as most likely i'll never convince you that the earth is stationary & level, but that won't stop me trying.
By the way @d taylor I only found the post where you mentioned your mother having reposed in the Lord after I had written these replies, and had I known I would not have posted them. I would be happy to delete them or leave them up, depending on what would make you happy. I am inclined to delete them myself because it makes me feel like a bit of a jerk, but I also know that debating these subjects can be enjoyable, so I will leave it up to you.
God bless you! I will be praying for you!
I was thinking more along the lines of what is seen with respect to lifetimes, e.g. "and all the days of Adam were . . . ", and with respect to things like "in those days" (e.g. Gen. 6:4)--which does, as you have noted, have the bet prefix, meaning "in." There is also the expression "all the days of the judge" in Judges 2:18, and this phrase does not include the prepositional prefix for "in". That might be as near as we get to an "age" or an "era" in Hebrew.Can you show me an example of this usage in the scriptures? I see it used in the plural form in Exodus 20:11 but not in reference to an age or an era.
Think about it. If Buzz had not gone to the moon, it would have been true that he was involved in a huge, fraudulent cover-up. And if he were involved in a huge, fraudulent cover-up, it would have been part of a larger conspiracy. And if he were part of a conspiracy so grand as this, he would have been carefully chosen and trained to fill his role in such as way as to NEVER reveal the truth to the public, not even to "the young girl."Yes Buzz did, try watching it again, he says plainly to the young girl, ' cus we didn't go there'.
When you say all of the days of someone that doesn’t necessarily indicate an era in my mind because it’s plural. When you say like in the day (singular) then it’s a singular frame of time that does not reflect a 24 hour period. The term all the days is referring to several 24 hour periods that make up an age or an era but it’s still referring to several days. It’s basically the same as saying everyday which refers to several consecutive days. If I said I went to work all the days of last week or everyday last week that’s still the same thing, it’s not exactly referring to an age or an era. In the creation account we’re looking at day in the singular form and the only time I ever see day in the singular form referring to an age or an era is when it’s used with in the term “in the day”. It wasn’t long after I discovered this that I began learning about the dating methods and I’m not referring to courtship of the opposite sex I mean the means in which scientists date the earth. But that’s another discussion.I suppose you might be looking more for an English-definition type of "age," but Hebrew does not correlate as closely with English in word meanings as does Greek. Greek is Western in its mindset, whereas Hebrew is more Eastern.
If you know I'd like to ask you what do you think that Greek is more northern than Hebrew which is more southern than Greek and more northern than Arabic for example...Hebrew does not correlate as closely with English in word meanings as does Greek.

The sad part is that if you'd taken thought for just a few seconds yuo probably wouldn't have posted anything this silly. Yep, God created light first thing,and the sun three days later. The mere existence of water doesn't necessitate the existence of Lake Superior, the Thames River, or the Bay of Fundy, does it? Simply having light exist doesn't make for evenings or mornings, does it? You know, the times punctuated by sunrises and sunsets? Gotta have a sun for that. Think of it this way, Just If you happen to make your way to Thule, Greenland in mid December, you'll see a lot of light, most all of it electric. What you won't find is morning, because the sun isn't coming up for another few weeks.”Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.
Once the sun was there to demark those intervals.God called the light day, and the darkness He called night.
But not the sun.God is light -
And He said water, and there was water. But no English Channel or olympic size swimming pools.And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
I've been saying third; I stand corrected. The "24 Hour Day Creation" thing is still baloney.He created the sun & the moon on the fourth day.
So you missed the parts I've highlighted here, yes?Again I would agree. Jesus told His disciples to do this in remembrance of Him
I was being sarcasticI have a bunch of digital pics of my lovely grandkids that are entirely genuine.
So? It's not much dumber than a lot of other ridiculous notions that the some people are willing to embrace.You'll never convince me that the earth is a spinning globe
Here's one no flattie attempted to explain. Tlking to a ham on 20 meters. He's in Queensland, I'm in Tennessee. Bad interference, hard to talk. He switches to CW (Morse code, maximum efficiency) and suggests we try long path. So we both turn our beams (half wave 3 element yagi on my end, dunno what he had except that it was steerable) 180 degrees so they were pointing away from each other. Lo and behold, there we were, little QRN, able to talk without endlessly repeating ourselves. Makes perfect sense on a globe, unexplicable on a flat earth. You're welcome to give it a shot, though; and trying would make you the first.as most likely i'll never convince you that the earth is stationary & level, but that won't stop me trying.
Can you give me an example of this where "in the day" refers to an age? There are hundreds of occurrences of this expression, and what I am seeing is that it applies to a specific day, such as in the day they were created, in the day they ate of the fruit, etc. In Genesis 31:40 "bayyowm" applies to daytime in general, but not to an age. I'm sure it can apply to an age, so I am not discounting your interpretation, I'm just wondering where you see it.the only time I ever see day in the singular form referring to an age or an era is when it’s used with in the term “in the day”.
I'm not sure I understand your question. Greece is mostly west and slightly north of Israel/Canaan. Greek is not a Semitic language, but the Semitic languages are all similar enough to be mostly mutually intelligible, including Hebrew, Syriac/Aramaic (depending on era), Ugaritic, Phoenician, Canaanite, Moabite, etc., and, slightly more divergent, Arabic. One of my professors, a Jewish rabbi, likes to disparage "Greeky thinking." He believes the Greeks were too unintelligent to understand such concepts as that one cannot stop time, i.e. there is no existence of "now." As I have said, Hebrew lacks a present tense verb, though some might argue a little bit with this on one or two exceptions, such as a verb which essentially means "exists."If you know I'd like to ask you what do you think that Greek is more northern than Hebrew which is more southern than Greek and more northern than Arabic for example...
Have you wondered why God created light, then waited three days to create the sun? Have you wondered why God even tells us which day He made what? Why not simply say something like: "In one week, God created everything in our world." Wouldn't that be simpler?Yep, God created light first thing,and the sun three days later.
Where did you read this text? While I do not believe God was dependent on pre-existing matter during Creation Week, God did not say "Let there be water," and this was because it did not fit the prophecy. Water represents people (see Revelation 17:15), and the history of earth started with people.And He said water, and there was water.
Each day was 24 hours. But each of those 24-hour days represented a millennium in prophecy. See 2 Peter3:8 (in the context of verses 1-13); and Psalm 90:4.I've been saying third; I stand corrected. The "24 Hour Day Creation" thing is still baloney.
HAM radio operators know about the F1 and F2 atmospheric layers which split during the daytime but combine into a single F layer at night which facilitates the propagation of the radio waves. It is much easier to send the waves through the night side as a result, because the layer division disrupts the waves on the daylight side. This is something a Flat-Earther will be unable to explain, because the entire planet should be lit at the same time on this face. This goes back to my question about time zones. I don't think there can be any answer for time zones in flat-earth theory.Here's one no flattie attempted to explain. Tlking to a ham on 20 meters. He's in Queensland, I'm in Tennessee.

Its just another example that Bible is not a scientific book. Like the authors did not understand our anatomy, they also did not understand the universe, our origin, the vastness of time and space, the process of evolution and other things.Ok I concede it means kidney, I apologize my Strong’s concordance app adds the term “of seat of emotion and affection” in the definition. This still has nothing to do with the usage of the word day in Genesis 1. I can find all sorts of verses where body parts are sources of our feelings & thoughts, what I can’t find are other verses using the word Yovm that refer to anything other than a day or daytime even tho it’s used 1900 times in the Old Testament.
Smartest, and least mendacious, thing I've ever seen a flattie say.
