"Mere Christianity" impacts Genome Project scientist

On what "day" did God create Eve?

You tell me on what day God created Eve.

I'm interested to hear your opinion.

[Guest HIS girl]

seems that a blind accecptence of 24 hour days is the easy way out, but it does not mesh with the rest of scripture in my opinion.

does that include Eve?

When the Holy Spirit convicts me of my blindness in the matter of Creation, then I'll take notice.

Please, inform me of your opinion when Eve was created for Adam.

It is clear from Gen 1 that it was on the 6th day of creation, what is not clear is if the "day" is 24 hours or not.

according to Gen 1& 2 on that same day these things also happened....

God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds

God set Adam in the garden of Eden

God gave him the rule about the Tree of knowledge of good and evil

God saw that Adam was alone

God brought all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field for Adam to name

Adam named all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field

God saw that Adam was still alone.

God caused Adam to go into a deep sleep.

God created Eve from the rib of Adam.

Adam woke up and met Eve.

Could all of this happened in 24 hours, of course.

It is the most logical or clearest reading of the text? I dont think so

Yeah, that's alot for our puny brains to digest as to have happened in 24 hours, I see where you could come to that conclusion.

Not my conclusion though..

Do you question Jonah being swallowed by a large fish?

If God gave us an example of 6 days to work and the 7th day to rest, does it seem to you somewhat absurd that He would set us an example like that if the "days" were in fact longer than 24hrs?

perhaps that is why we are having this discussion.

So you think I'm wrong.

Interesting..

[Guest HIS girl]

but of course, just as you think that I am wrong. there is nothing wrong with that at all, if we didnt think that the other was mistaken, we would not be having this discussion.

What a way to meet!! lol.

Did God want His children to be divided? I don't think so and if more people accepted the Word for what it specifically says, there would be less division.

The HS guides us and opens our eyes to hidden Truths....like where Jesus says about cutting off your hand if it makes you sin....things like that.

[Guest HIS girl]

It is always morning some where on the planet and always evening somewhere else.

But remember the first day was without the creation of the Sun.

We ARE talking God here....His "dumbness" FAR exceeds out "intelligence".

[Guest HIS girl]

I dont think we are divided, I think we disagree on something that is a a non-essential element of the Bible when it comes to salvation.

Salvation is a free gift for all who ask for it - for sure...

There are pros and cons to having a Board with Christians from many denominations and backgrounds because everyone brings their little peronal philosophies into the equation which can result in the Truth being left on the backburner. It diverts from the main issue which is God's Inerrant Word.

[Guest HIS girl]

Ah, but aren't there many interpretations of that Word??? If there were not many interpretations, there would not be soooo many Christian denominations.

That's the point...MANS interpretation doesn't necessarily mean GOD'S intention...

[Guest HIS girl]

not really true, most Christian denominations dont differ that much at all in doctrine, it is in the window dressing that most the differences lie.

The Word does not need window dressing...this is part of the problem and has never been a solution for unity amongst Believers but adds to dissent.
