I'm saying "at face value", as you put it, are the most unimportant parts of the text

If you say so.

Your undecided position on the latter is a tension of seeing the deeper meaning of the text vs the face value (which is barbaric)

Ok.

The Spirit gives life the flesh counts for nothing" in the exact same text where he says to eat his flesh.

You might not be missing something? Catholics aren't cannibals, far as I know.

so the micro points to the macro? if true, we are approaching the 7th rest. perhaps the millennial reign?... then what... new creation all over again and we start back at day 1, the day of Christ's resurrection.
Yes Damian, glad you got it. The 7th day is about to begin where Christ will rule with a rod of iron. The 7th day is the millennial day where both the Old and New Testaments say, We will all be taught of the Lord. Thanks for your input.

Had they stuck to the word age rather than day would there be less confusion?

btw folks... as a thousand days is not the same as is a thousand days.
Hi Tim. As it is written in James, all wisdom comes from God. If we are not blessed with eyes to see there is a lack of understanding. I would not use the word, confusion. Thanks for the input.
