If you don't know where to look for a real Bible, look up the website of the Trinitarian Bible Society and you'll not only find good Bibles at a good price, but much info about why the modern versions are per versions, corrupted, inaccurate, and deadly to a lively faith. No wonder you're having difficulty believing. 1/31/09 5:41 PM DJC49  | Florida    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments chmch wrote: I find much much easier to understand the word "day" in Genesis meaning "millions of years" than the word "father" in Luke's genealogy of Christ meaning "mother" You need to get yourself another Bible -- a REAL one -- as there is NO mention of "father" (or "mother" for that matter) in the Lucan account of Christ's genealogy. [Luke 3:23-38] _________ Also, after EVERY accounting of the creation which happened during a specific "day" in Genesis 1, we find: "AND THE EVENING AND THE MORNING WERE THE ________ DAY." Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Gen 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. Gen 1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day. Gen 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. Gen 1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. There. Does that make it any EASIER for you to understand? 1/31/09 5:26 PM chmch    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments I find much much easier to understand the word "day" in Genesis meaning "millions of years" than the word "father" in Luke's genealogy of Christ meaning "mother" 11/8/08 4:12 PM St Jeremiah  | Salt Lake City, UT    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments I am a member of Jordan Valley Baptist Church and Pastor Johnson takes the book of Genesis literally. 10/22/08 8:04 PM Mike  | New York    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments Matt wrote: If one does not believe in the literal 6 day approach they are essentially disregarding Biblical truth to place God and His works within human comprehension. You CANNOT say that the "Word was God" (John 1) and say therefore that the Word is Truth (for God is Truth) if you beleive in a longer creation period than 6 days. Either all in the Bible is true or all is not (and to claim that 6 days is not in fact 6 days is dispensational rubbish.) But Matt, it doesn't seem to be the dispensationalists that have the most difficulty with literal interpretation.

When enlightened by God, this makes incredible sense! 6/30/08 1:35 AM Bernard  | Australia    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments San Jose John wrote: You sound like you're allowing your own limited life experiences to limit your own capacity to visualize possible pre-fall conditions.

May God be pleased to grant you the wisdom to see beyond your limited experiences, lest you unintentionally "lock yourself out" of learning more Biblical truth. To be fair, Preacher is not being limited by his own "limited life experiences" - he is being limited by observation of the created order combined with an acceptance that God created the world in six days. Your point of view requires a creation of greater than six days. Firstly, the well-documented six pre-fall creation days. Secondly, the post-fall re-creation day, when God re-created spiders with webs, frogs with tongues, eagles with talons, et cetera. You are essentially arguing that there was no eco-system before the fall, apart from the parallel processing of vegetable matter by all creatures great and small. 6/29/08 9:55 PM Byran Boyle  | Texas    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments If you believe blood shed and suffering and cancer before the fall you do not believe the Word of God and its hard for me to believe that you would not twist any other part of scripture to fit your view istead of just believing Gods Holy Word. 6/28/08 12:18 PM 21st Century Puritan  | Orange County, California    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments I know my pastor does not believe in a literal six days, but six ages where God created then let things grow. (He was a geologist before a pastor) He claims the fossil record supports a longer period than 6000 years. He also makes the claim for the hebrew word for day means several things. I disagree. First, If there are fossils from before the fall, then that would mean there was death before the fall. Romans 5 disputes this along with many other scriptures. Second, The Sabbath principle, which predates the ten commandments back to creation. In the decalogue, God says "Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy" Exodus 20:11 "For in six days the LORD made heaven and 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." I find it difficult to believe that the same hebrew word in the same passage means two different periods of time. Lastly, I do believe in the reliability of certain bible versions over others. I prefer the ESV go to esv.org. I use the NKJV. I will not used a paraphrased version or one that does not translate word for word the original. I also prefer to study the greek original which is more descriptive (tense, action, etc) It clears up a lot of confusion in some passages. 5/12/08 1:34 AM WSG  | Earth    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments Susanna wrote: i dont have a pastor. I don't have one either! We use the Bible's example of fellowshipping and meet in each other's homes from week to week. We have elders to guide us, though there is not a "service" so to speak. We are lead by the Holy Spirit and when He prompts us, then we do. 1 Corinthians 14:26 is a great example. Anyway, as a result of my not having a pastor over me, I was unable to answer this pole... 5/11/08 5:37 PM San Jose John  | San Jose, CA    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments Preacher wrote: Yes, imagine; spiders spun webs to catch leaves, frogs had long sticky tongues to catch fast-moving seeds, birds of prey had incredible eyesight to see the cabbage and strong talons to stop it from escaping, wolves hunted treebark in packs and fish only ate seaweed.

You will be in our prayers and hopefully of others on SermonAudio as well. Personally I know times in my life when I did not have a pastor (it is increasingly hard to find a faithful pastor in these days) and I so appreciate the Lord that His grace was more than sufficient then and now. And I am so thankful that He kept me out of the hands of the multiple wolves in sheep's clothing. Sorry, i didnt mean it quite like that. i dont have a pastor because my church is shepherded by a group of 4 elders, not one single man. I belong to a Gospel Hall in England. Thankyou for your concern. www.gospelhall.org.uk www.thegospelhall.org.uk 5/5/08 4:44 AM Preacher    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments San Jose John wrote: I agree.

Indeed He is strong when we are weak. 5/3/08 4:02 AM Jessica Dawson  | Canada    • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse • Groups | Comments God is love, the light of my soul, He is closer to me than my very breath! Our Lord healed the blind with a word, He recreated health and well being to the suffering in a word. Psalm 29:8-9 The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; The LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth, And strips the forests bare; And in His temple everyone says, “Glory!” Nothing is too difficult for The Lord! No one can open what The Lord shuts and no one can shut what The Lord has opened! He is glorious! God spoke the universe into being and it was so! He is trust worthy, our minds cannot comprehend His unsearchable knowledge, or His awesome abilities! As for me I do not have a pastor, I am crippled, have head injuries and am diagnosed with schizophrenia. I am what would many pastors would consider “high maintenance”. Never the less I suffer with Christ "outside the camp"! God made all in six days, nothing is impossible with Him. And He is able to heal me in a word, I will wait upon Him and allow my suffering to be used of God and to allow Him to make His power perfected in my weakness. Should He take me home, I would be most greatful glorying in His presence! Luke 7:7-9
