Do The math
One day is a 1,000 years in God time.
Adam lived 800 years.
800 x 365= 292,000 days times 1,000 is 292,000,000 days. Divided by 365 is 800,000
So Adam lived 800,000 years in God time.
Of course they overlapped. We have dogs but wolves haven’t gone extinct. That is one of thousands of examples. We still have horseshoe crabs but their first cousins, trilobites are extinct. Macro evolution is a straw man. The history of evolution is not linear. Just because an amphibian evolved from a fish doesn’t mean there are no more fish. The ancient dog like horse has lead to horses, burros, and zebras.
No, we don't know this at all. Scripture actually says "With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." 'Like' is not the same as 'equal.' The writer was saying God is outside of time as we mortals understand it.
A day could indeed be a thousand, a million or a billion years to God. We just don't know, and you are just making things up.
I don't know what version of the bible you are quoting, but you should always refer back the KJV version and the manuscripts to see if any changes of God's word is warranted. You posted a bad translation.
You are so wrong, and simply make up things to support your man-made beliefs.
Show me ANY translation that says a day IS a thousand years. Not like. Not as.
The only IS that is in Scripture is the one you reject - "This IS my body"
And where is that in Scripture? You are just making things up.
Are you a Catholic?
" you should always refer back the KJV version and the manuscripts"
No you are making things up from out of nowhere. Maybe God should have consulted you first before he said this.
" 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."
So tell me with certainty what "and a thousand years as one day" really means. As a day is not anything certain, You are so wrong in what you believe true
IF YOU say so. I will stick with the scriptures if you don’t mind.
I will ask you again. What does "and a thousand years as one day" really mean? Focus on the word 'as' And using Scripture for your answer will give you bonus points.
You are just blowing smoke.
Satan and his followers will get bonus points and some smoke. Agree?
Hell no!
just answer the question.
I hope you are insane enough for God to forgive you.
But you refuse to answer a simple question.
That is often the case when you know you have no answer. You change the topic.
I'm thinking a sixth grader would have no trouble understanding that and certainly a high schooler would have no problem at all...
It's a pretty easy to understand statement...But believing it is another ball game altogether...We realize that the simple statement really messes with your religion's theology and that's where the problem is...But, it is what it is whether you chose to believe it or not...
And by believing it, a whole bunch of things fit together in the scriptures that otherwise would have to be ignored as is so much of the scriptures by your religion...
God told you the answer to your question. You refused to believe him.
But you refuse to answer a simple question.
That is often the case when you know you have no answer. You change the topic.
So what was the answer?
