***”When does evening start? When does morning start? What is the literal and please back it up with Scripture”
If I was Adam, then evening would have started at sun down and morning at sun up. ***
Exactly so. But the Jewish days are not 24 hours. Therefore your statements about exactly 24 hours are invalid.
***Where is the seventh day closed in Scripture?
I am thoroughly aware that the seventh day did not have the evening and morning statement, yet God still thought of it as a 24-hour day.
Ex 20:11 - “For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.”
So if we are still in the seventh day, would God not still be resting?? ***
Perhaps He is. Do you have Scripture to indicate otherwise?
***How can you reconcile this?
OK, now you are just being silly. You are saying that the day is not exactly 24:00:00, so that somehow proves your day age theory. Since a day is not 24 hrs precisely, then that means it could be billions of years. Please.***
It is not my theory; I am not being silly and the Jewish day is not 24 hours exactly. If the day is not 24 hours exactly, then your statements to that effect are wrong.
***Let me ask you a question: If you use Peter’s passage of one day is a 1000 years, then are you claiming that the creation account was 6000 years in the making? If so, then science would take issue with you. If not, then you are betraying your own Scriptural interpretations. ***
I claim nothing here. You claimed rather vociferously that the day was exactly 24 hours and I am endeavouring to prove you wrong from a number of different ways. You are wrong on this, you know.
***How long was Joshua’s day?
I dont know. It could have been 24 hours and it could have been longer. I would classify it as a miraculous act of God, which makes either assertion plausible.***
Scripture says that the sun was stopped for a day. How long was that day, and how do you think that it was measured? Was it indeterminate? Or was it the 24 hours that you have postulated in prior posts?
