Did Moses or Jesus tell us to interpret the six days literally? How did Moses use the six days, to teach a literal six day creation or as an illustration to teach Sabbath observance? Did Jesus say Moses' literal interpretation of the six days was right? Did Jesus even mention the six days of Genesis?That doesn't mean much in this day and age, Mr. 'doubtful' (your admitted attitude).
Why do you not believe what your Creator said about His creation in six days as Moses told us in the ten commandments and Jesus confirmed what Moses said?

Is it a literal memorial or a metaphor, like the reason for the Sabbath in Deuteronomy? You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day Deut 5:15.The sabbath observance every seventh day is to memorialize the 7th day when God rested following the six days of creation.
All living things did not die. Many water born would have survived.
progmonk said:Well it also follows that I'm God breathed, does that make me authoritative?
progmonk said:Well from my point of view you are calling Scripture authoritative based on one passage that says it is God breathed there are just as many passages saying that humans are breathed pit by God
So are you trying to say that the inspired word of God is not authoritative? If it is God's word, what higher Authority does it need? You are comparing apples and oranges.

It is not clever of me to believe what the Bible says. It is foolish of you tho not to. Perhaps you might be the dodgy one here so I ask you to come up with your version of things instead of you trying make me put up a target for you to shoot down.So Genesis is not literally true then?
21 Every living thing that moved on land perishedbirds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind. 22 Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died. 23 Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.
And no, I did not bring up aquatic vs land creatures, nor claim that all aquatic creatures are land creatures. We can discuss the challenges aquatic creatures would have faced if you like, but I was asking whether the genetics should match the flood story or not. Quit dodging the issue, no one thinks you're clever for pretending my context was about fish.

So if Moses absolutely told us to interpret the six day literally, perhaps you would like to show us where he said that?Absolutely.Did Moses or Jesus tell us to interpret the six days literally? How did Moses use the six days, to teach a literal six day creation or as an illustration to teach Sabbath observance? Did Jesus say Moses' literal interpretation of the six days was right? Did Jesus even mention the six days of Genesis.
Just like it would if Genesis was a metaphorical description of the creation, written that way to teach Sabbath observance. If Moses used the six days to teach Sabbath observance, aren't you missing the point if you think he was really teaching the Israelites to interpret Genesis literally?It resulted in a six day work week and one literal day of rest....not seven thousand, or seven million, or seven billion years
Could I suggest wherever the Lord is calling you now, you try a little less name calling?O blind one.
progmonk said:No I'm just trying to reconcile your hermeneutic. In what way is a human an apple and Scripture an orange? My complaint is that the sort of language that you use to make the totally unfounded assumption that the Bible is dictated/puppet written/whatever is also used to describe how humans were created. Now the question actually is do humans have free will in your opinion?
Kirkwhisper said:mathetes123. Checking out. Thought I'd give you best wishes. The Lord wants me to concentrate my efforts elsewhere for the time being.
God bless you and remain faithful to His Word.
What facts are you talking about?So you're afraid to say that the land creatures that weren't on the ark all died because you know that can be "shot down" with those pesky facts?
The bible means what it says and says what it means.
Yes, humans have free will. If it were not so, we could not be held responsible for our sin, and there would have been no reason for jesus to die on the cross to take the penalty for our sins.
progmonk said:Ok so if Humans have free will, then how do we build a theology of Biblical inerrancy and literalism from II Tim 3:16 where the imagery Paul is using is aligned with what Genesis says of humans
