Which was easier for Jesus...

Raising from the dead on day 3 or creating the universe in 6 days?

 

[Hammster]

Equal. But neither were hard.

Equal. But neither were hard.

I disagree. The entire process of the path to the cross was horrendous to Jesus. Especially in the Garden of Gethsemane when He was in such angst and agonization that He sweat great drops of blood, and then on the cross when He cried out to the Father why have you forsaken me?

I answered the question that was asked. You are addressing a different one it appears.

Thank you for that reply. I can agree. But, it really didn't answer the question.

I suppose the point of the question was.....how is it christians can deny the six day creation...yet...accept a dead man can rise from the grave on day 3?

I believe their opinion would be modern science denies both..a six day creation or coming back to life on day 3.

I believe that the entire process of being a Sacrifice AND raising from the dead in 3 days was more "difficult".

Does that help?

Oh i see. Brilliant question, my friend.

God bless you.

Yes, that process was difficult....How difficult do you think it was for Jesus to create the universe..and Adam knowing Adam was going to sin....and also knowing that He would have to die on the cross for what Adam did and was spread to all mankind.

Aaah, ok, i see your point. When i think about it, i can't imagine the heartbreak it must've been for Him.

Maybe this helps with the heartbreak ...Luke 15:10 Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

A day or a thousand years is the same to the Lord

Because people knows A LOT about sciences than about God. That is the consequence of modern education. A student basically knows zero about God in public schools.

Because we have faith in Jesus Christ. The Bible is the path to understanding God and Jesus, not a history book.

This is a common accusation coming from literalists, that if we question the literal authenticity of Genesis then we must discount the entire Bible. This is simply not true. If you would stop and listen to what we are saying, you would get that.

Being a Christian requires one thing - believe in Jesus Christ - grace by faith alone. Nothing about our interpretation of Genesis impacts this. I, for one, doubt God cares much whether we take Genesis literally or as allegory, as long as we understand that He is the creator.

 

[Phil 1:21]

There's a difference between discussing what God did do with what God can do. God can do anything with less effort that it takes for you and I to blink. God can choose to destroy the entire earth before I finish this sentence...but He didn't.

God frequently uses parables, metaphors, and hyperbole to communicate His word to us. I see absolutely no inconsistency in believing that the six days of creation were a metaphor and the three days between Calvary to Resurrection were literal.

As far as science: God created science. He is not subject to it.

Amen!

Ever been in a public school system? I have. In fact, I spent over two decades dealing with them. I can attest first hand they are complete zoos! The staff and the student body represent the fallen state of man more so than any other entity I've been involved with. It's a sad, sad situation.

Even more sad, those students are the next generation! Lord, help us.

It is a picture of a humanistic society. There still ARE some rules in it. Humanism is not all bad. As God creates human according to His image. From the humanistic view, what a public school needs is a course of Introduction to Theology, and/or Comparative Theology. These courses should not violate the separation of Church and State.

My impression is that the strongest opposition to such a course comes from creationists, who desire their religion to be the only one taught.

While paradise was created in 6 days, we were removed from there
and the gates were closed. Unless you can show where it is?

Creationists might be a factor. But I don't think it is a significant one.
It is the schools. They don't want to touch anything about religion.
That is NOT wise, not human. It is stupid.
