History supports Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden 6,000 years ago. People look at the speed of light but they do not look at inflation or how fast the universe expands which is much faster than the speed of light.The earth and the universe was created in 6 days, approximately 6000 years ago. History supports it.
Genesis is very Historical and very much Science. The very first thing we teach our sunday school students is about Joshua and the battle of Jericho. If you go to Jericho today you can still see the wall that came tumbling down. All these years God has preserved them for our edification. Even if they did not rebuild the wall you would think they would use the stones to build something else. But there are still there.I don't accept a literal account of Genesis because it is more figurative than historical.
I believe what the Bible says. You don’t. I wouldn’t argue either if I were you. God reiterated a 6 day creation when explaining the Sabbath Day. Exodus 20:11. I’m still trying to understand why you don’t accept what the Bible says (saying it’s figurative and not literal at your discretion means you don’t accept what the Bible says).I don't accept a literal account of Genesis because it is more figurative than historical. But I am not here to argue that with you. Believe what you like. I think natural history as we have so far come to understand it says more awesome things about God than a literal read of Genesis.
What we call the "Old Testament" is a compilation of many kind of literature. Some may have historic value.Genesis is very Historical and very much Science.

A literal reading of the Bible tells us the God created everything in the universe, approx 6000 years ago - in 6 days.History supports Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden 6,000 years ago. People look at the speed of light but they do not look at inflation or how fast the universe expands which is much faster than the speed of light.
God giving us the history of creation and the history of the Jewish people is story telling? WowWhat we call the "Old Testament" is a compilation of many kind of literature. Some may have historic value.
But much is more about story telling for theological purpose.
Do you understand everything in the Bible? If you do then I have a lot of questions for you. For example, just how did God makeA literal reading of the Bible tells us the God created everything in the universe, approx 6000 years ago - in 6 days.
Nothing is added to what we receive from Moses. Only Jesus can add to what Moses tells us.What we call the "Old Testament" is a compilation of many kind of literature.
I know what God has told us in the Bible. I don’t make things up like you tend to.Do you understand everything in the Bible? If you do then I have a lot of questions for you. For example, just how did God make
Adam from the dust? Were you there in the beginning when God made Adam?
Job 38:4 "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding."
People are always guilty of what they accuse others of. I would not know if you did not tell on yourself like this. We need to go beyond what God says to study the language that He uses to say or speak to us. Even we are told that Jesus is the word of God. Jesus is the revelation of God and He is the logos or the logic and reason of God. I had a pastor who said we are to have the Mind of Christ and the Diving thoughts of God.I know what God has told us in the Bible. I don’t make things up like you tend to.
Did Moses write of his own death?Nothing is added to what we receive from Moses. Only Jesus can add to what Moses tells us.
Most of it is not history but theology.God giving us the history of creation and the history of the Jewish people is story telling? Wow
For one thing, it is the collection of documents of one culture, the Jews. God is the creator of all peoples and all times.I’m still trying to understand why you don’t accept what the Bible says (saying it’s figurative and not literal at your discretion means you don’t accept what the Bible says).
So use your mind...your Christ Mind. Why do you not believe EVERYTHING was created 6000 years ago? Perhaps your mind can begin with Why was EVERYTHING created?People are always guilty of what they accuse others of. I would not know if you did not tell on yourself like this. We need to go beyond what God says to study the language that He uses to say or speak to us. Even we are told that Jesus is the word of God.

Philippians 2 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus:
I can give you around 300 scriptures' that talk about what it means to have the Mind of Christ. Can you even give me three? Or should we just use our imagination and make things up?
So you don't accept the what the Bible says because God selected the Jews to deliver the message?For one thing, it is the collection of documents of one culture, the Jews. God is the creator of all peoples and all times.
You are framing it all wrong.So you don't accept the what the Bible says because God selected the Jews to deliver the message?
The human mind does not want the truth.So use your mind...your Christ Mind. Why do you not believe EVERYTHING was created 6000 years ago? Perhaps your mind can begin with Why was EVERYTHING created?
A book of theology, a book of history, a book of truth,Most of it is not history but theology.
The Creator determined before creating anythingFor one thing, it is the collection of documents of one culture, the Jews. God is the creator of all peoples and all times.
WHY? Because I believe God talks to us though science. We should not put limits on God to say He only does this or that.Why do you not believe EVERYTHING was created 6000 years ago?
If a thousand years for us is but a day for God, in God's eyes this should make the earth 7 + 6 = 13 days old, am I right ?
