Without getting into it too much. If a person believes in the Bible, then a person believes what it says, literally. In Genesis, it tells us about the first day and so on. Getting to the point of this article, it is rediculous that anyone thinks they can name the exact day. Rediculous.
Just saying that it may be 24/7 but more likely the 2 Peter version of a day.
“If a person believes in the Bible, then a person believes what it says, literally”
Really? How about this part?
“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”
“If a person believes in the Bible, then a person believes what it says, literally.”
I can’t agree with that at all. As a matter of fact, I think it is so obviously false that I regard the statement as a near occasion of sin, in that it tempts me to say so many unkind things.
The Bible contains parables and allegories, passages that contain theological truth. In Ecclesiastes it says “there is nothing new under the sun.” Does this mean we are to believe that all new cars are actually used?
Are we to believe that Jesus was talking about an actual prodigal son in his parable? Are we to believe that someday someone will die, and in his will he will leave the earth to the meek? There will be a big reading of the will, and then everything will belong to them?
Jeeeeeeeeezzzz.
