I didn't forget anything. There was darkness (evening) before God created light (morning). 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God...

To the thread title, there are six verses in Genesis 1 that say otherwise.

Those who speak English suffer from a limitation of language. We don't have enough words in the language to address this topic adequately without people either getting their knickers in a twist. We as Christians associate the three-letter word 'g-o-d' with a certain set of attributes which...

I tend to think it is an oblique reference to Genesis 6:1-4.

The evening after Day 1 was the starting of the second day. ;)

Then I guess we're done.

Incorrect; I cling to the certainty that my position is consistent with Scripture. I don't care about "right".

I have a sound scriptural basis for my view. Your view contradicts Scripture. We can repeat our positions till the Lord comes back, and those two statements will still be true.

Agreed; people develop blinders and, I suspect, are functionally incapable of seeing what Scripture actually says. We are all susceptible to it. The blinders result from poor teaching, poor study habits, deception from outside, and from resistance to truth within.

Not according to Scripture, which states that "all mankind" (aside from the eight on the ark) died (Genesis 7:21). 21 Every living thing that moved on land perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind. 22 Everything on dry land that had...

Sorry, I don't know to what you are referring.

I can understand your point, but "evening" does not necessarily require a preceding period of light. In this case, God may well have meant the period before He created light as "evening". For Matthew 28:1, your translation says, "at the end of the Sabbath"; the NIV (along with most English...

Wrong; circular reasoning is using the conclusion as a premise. No, what you did was read into the text the cultural definition of "Jew". Do you think that my definition of "Jew" as "one in right relationship with God through faith" is merely opinion? Here the Scripture that proves you wrong...

You're assuming that Jesus meant the cultural definition; that's circular reasoning. On the basis of Scripture, I am concluding that He meant the faith-based definition.

Actually, creation began with "God created the heaven(s) and the earth) in verse 1. The activity of day 1 did not begin with the creation of light, or "morning" as you called it. Every other day that is so described is "evening" and then "morning". To which verse in Matthew are you referring?

I'm not sure if your post #1226 was a retraction of this or not. Assuming it wasn't... God clearly places evening before morning, but you claim that, according to Genesis, the day begins at dawn. Could you please explain this (glaring) inconsistency?

Welcome to CC! While the user "Gotime" may still be around, you may want to take not of the date on which a post was made (upper left of the post) before responding to it. :)

While I agree with you regarding the Revelation being written before 70 AD, I still believe that you're using the wrong definition of "Jew". I contest that Jesus used the correct definition. One could not reasonably claim that John was confused about the matter because he was quoting Jesus...

With respect, it appears to me that you're misreading the text. It does not say anything about "if the slave dies a day or two later". Rather, it says "if the slave recovers..." In other words, the slave does not die from the beating. It appears to me that you read "if the slave recovers after...

Scripture makes clear that not everyone who is descended from the Jews is a Jew. Rather, a Jew is someone who, by faith, is in right relationship with God. My argument is based entirely on Scripture, and not at all on 'universal church' dogma.
