  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

"Genesis 1:5b And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Here is the first passage where "day" is used in a way that does not mean a literal 24 hour day. How many more do you want?"

No, here it is a literal 24 hour period. You cannot use the passage in question to prove your point. Try again.





As much as JohnR7 and I disagree, I think that he does have a point here (If he is thinking the same thing I am.)

Even under a strictly 6-24 literal reading, until the Sun and Moon are created the days can not be literal since the Sun and Moon don't even exist yet.
