I just believe what God said in Genesis is literal.
Because?
Even if modern "so called science" contradicts it (It doesn't), I still go with what God said.
And you know that God said what was in Genesis? How do you know that?
The evening and morning was without the sun, moon, stars, and when the earth had no form and was void. God just created the "definition" of light (because darkness covered the deep waters).
OK! Now you are paraphrasing Genesis. I am pretty sure that nearly everyone reading or posting in this thread has read Genesis, probably more than once, and some have actually studied it, so you are adding nothing to the discussion.
I suspect that what you are really doing is shouting, "Look at me God. I believe it all, even if it doesn't make sense. Men gave me a book, and You gave me a brain, so I put my precious brain under a rock to keep it safe, and took literally all those parts of the book that I wanted to believe and realized all the rest was metaphor, except those parts I ignore because they are contradictory or unpleasant."
Later on, he actually created the sun and the moon and divided it from the day and night (this means the sun and moon and the stars are revolving around the earth...the earth does not rotate/revolve).
Since it is obvious we have all read or heard this before, and since there are only a few morons reading this thread, it would seem that you are wasting pixels and time. I am pointing this out to you, out of the goodness of my heart. I know it is useless, but if Francis of Assisi could preach to birds I can try to confront delusions.
The "christians" on here are too ashamed of Genesis 1 because it is "not scientifically correct".
According to the forum rules you are not supposed to cast doubt on the Christianity of those claiming that status unless, perhaps, they do not accept either the Nicene or Apostles' creeds. My own standards are more inclusive: If
any lying, thieving, murdering, fornicating, malicious, hypocritical, delusional wretch wishes to lay claim to the title "Christian", I am inclined to believe him.
So they have to keep adding "intepretations" and "opinions" to change God's word to be scientifically correct.
(I am not the grammar or spelling police, but that is pretty sloppy.) If "God's word" is not correct, then the even the devil is free to correct him. Truth trumps faith.
They have become fools leaning on their own understanding.
And you lean on the words of anonymous ancient writers, who understood even less.
Another example, Nephilim is nowhere in the bible, but they have to "keep changing the word" rather than admit they were wrong about who the sons of God were.
"Nephelim" (Hebrew נפילים

is the word often translated into English as "giants". So it
is in the Bible.
The "nephilim" is satanic doctrine, being made famous in hollywood movies, being preached by frauds like chuck missler. Nobody reads their bible, they all just believe the pastor and hollywood...that is why this false doctrine is still around.
Yes, yes, we know. Everyone has got it wrong ... except you.
