Jesus wasn’t really the son of God. He didn’t really die and come back to life. He didn’t really die for your sins so that you could get salvation and live forever. Do you have problem with me reading the New Testament that way?
No, everyone is free to read and interpret scripture however they want. Do you want to set up a system where only one interpretation (yours naturally) is allowed and everyone with a different interpretation is brought before a panel or something?

No but I do think it’s important to believe what Moses has written and not make the type of wholesale changes that many people do. Some people even think God didn’t create the Earth or even man. Interpreting things in a certain way is understandable but to make drastic and extreme changes that are not supported anywhere in the Bible is dangerous.

The purpose of creation was for God to establish His family with man. Jesus was right when he said if you don’t believe Moses how are gonna believe him. All of creation took God 6 days. That is clear and repeated over and over again throughout the Bible. Changing the Creation narrative to a naturalistic evolutionary one has been very positive for Satan. That is my opinion - so my message would be what the Bible says and puts all the glory to the Creator. 6000 years ago and 6 days.

Exactly but you think the universe is only 6k old by using speculative calculations.
Speculative? The same speculative calculations Matthew and Luke used to establish the lineage of Jesus. The genealogy provided to us by Moses. Nothing wrong with you not accepting the accuracy of it but not cool at all for you (as a Christian) to criticize someone who accepts the Bible and the words of Moses as they are written.

I agree, as I accept the Bible and the words of Moses as they were written, especially in Genesis 1.

See? That's the kind of reasonable response I expect from a fellow Christian. Thank you, brother!

Matthew nor Luke was giving a account of the age of the universe. What the genealogy is an account from the first Adam to the second Adam.

In no way shape or form have I criticized you for accepting the words of Moses. I don't agree with your interpretation. That isn't cool at all but it's ok my friend, water under the bridge, If that's cool with you?

This is actually when God said to start counting in our year. The evening and morning, dusk and dawn of creation is unknown just like it is without a mechanical clock.

Exodus 12
2 “This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year.

Of course. This is a friendly conversation. Important but always friendly.

My point was Matthew and Luke’s confirmation on the accuracy and completeness of the genealogy Moses gave us.

Post Noahs flood.

Today I spent most of this gloomy day playing video games. So I downloaded new game ... when the time came for the kitchen too be built and start cooking something. They made me get 100 bales of straw and get the craftsman make a little sack of corn. If that wasn't insulting enough when it was time to make a tomato garden you had to bring thirty ears of corn for the craftsmen to make a sack of tomato seeds. Dang ..... All I could think about was how these computer geniuses were taught " natural science " by the same fools Darwin was. Dang no wonder nearly everyone has been dooped. .

There was a world wide flood you and n9oneelse who worships science will ever see , maybe beause they want tomato seeds from ears of corn. Have a good day dear.

It's not a confirmation on how old everything is. The English word day is Yom in Hebrew which has multiple meanings from short to long periods or unknown as well. 24 hours wasn't even a concept of a day length until the invention of the mechanical clock. There is no mentioning of midnight or noontime during creation. Just the two periods of light dusk and dawn. Unknown to ancient people because they gauged the day length by a casted shadow or counting rising stars in the night.

Creation - is creating something that does not exists....when I make a painting - I start with nothing.

Creation: the action or process of bringing something into existence.
No you painted a painting. , chances are you bought a canvas and someone else created the canvas. I BEILIEVE WHAT HE SAYS. THAT Jesus spoke creation into being . And Fatber CREATED IT ALL IN 6 DAYS. AFTER THAT Jesus may have done some paintig, and a lot of science education to prepare the way of the righteous.



JESUS IS THE CONDUCTOR ON THIS TRAIN.

I have no confusion or questions about what a day is. Seeing people isolate their confusion only to creation has always been fake to me

If there was a world wide flood that covered the entire world miles deep for over a year 4500 years ago there is one place on earth that would still be flooded with all that water.

No not at all, we have the mechanical clock, especially if you happen to live at one of the poles a must have in those places.

Moses used the word Yom in alot of its different meanings in scripture.

I don't think the shortest one of them all was used to represent the days of creation. Certainly he didn't use it in the sense of 24 hours a day.

Yep it is called "the oceans " , they make up 75 % of our world now after two of the three world wide catastropic events the scientishism will never understand , because they want to see tomatos from straw. So they see tomatos. And when the oceans just 32-36 hundred years ago the oceans took up way more than 75 %. When the oceans were 1250 ft higher than now . But what remains of Atlantis is at abt 1250 ft above sea level. It is called The eye of the Sahara. I WISH IT WAS STILL THE SMALL BLUE EYE THAT REPRESENTED THE ISLAND WORLD BEFORE THERE WERE CONTINIENTS. BUT THAT REVELATION 12 Event IS A STORY JESUS WILL HAVE TO PUT ON THE BIG SCREEN FOR us . (all the faithful to see ) . Because the Red Sea was also 1250 ft deeper than it is now at the time of the crossing, BUT JESUS WILL HAVE TO SHOW US HOW IT WAS DONE TOO. All the waters above and below are now what we call the seas. There was no seas before the flood, but now There is lots of water in those oceans. And the earth got squared ( see pictish Rhyniestones with the dragon on it like Rev 12 ) on Joshua's long day and THE Rev 12 event was historical. And Atlantis was washed Away. It did not sink .
