Seven Day Creation Story

[GoingMyOwnWay]

I'm a little confused about the whole Creation story - Catholics believe that it didn't actually take seven days, that it really took billions of years. What do other Christians believe?

Amen!!! Go to my page i explain my theory there! Amen God Bless

Rob, I had a look at 'your page'. And yes, I can see that it is 'your' theory. I must respectfully disagree with your theory. I choose to believe the 'Genesis Account' over 'Evolution & 'The Gap' theories. There is a great danger in adding to God's Word. It is very important to seek the truth!

[Pastor _rob]

no gap theory evolution Genesis is not the beginning there is something you are not reading.I am not adding nothing that is not already there and i will not sugar coat it for you nor anyone else i obey the voice of the Lord(1Ki.13:11-26) that is the problem with the body of Christ trying to be like the world user friendly.

First off i don't believe in a gap theory

You guys might be interested in the book I wrote on Evolution. I used a fun novel format to bring all the major arguments (and then some) to the table. Answers in Genesis was one of my major research material providers.

Maryann - we've learnt at school that the first passage about the creation of the world and the second passage about Adam and Eve's creration were written by two different authors and a long time apart from each other.

We've also been taught that there must have been more humans created other than Adam and Eve, because how did the world populate from just two people?

Donald - I'm interested in your book! Could you tell me more about it?

Hi there,

My NLT Application Study Bible says that the author of Genesis, is Moses, written 1450-1410 B.C. More important is the Word Itself and how we appropriate it into our belief system and our lives.

Genesis has always been under attack by Satan. He hates it because it exposes him as a lying deceiving thief. His plan is to shake and destroy our foundation, and he wants us to allow his lies, into our thoughts and entertain them, because if Genesis can be discredited, the very foundation of our belief is shaken. God is his arch-enemy, and therefore our enemy. This war is between God and Satan.

May I encourage to stay in God's Word and don't listen to false teachers. The bible warns against this. Study HIS Word for yourself. His WORD is the ONLY WORD that we can trust.

Have a blessed day!
In HIS Service, MaryAnn

Seven Days

[MaryAnn]

A dear friend asked about Genesis 1:27 where it says – ‘So god created human beings in His own image. In the image of God He created them; male and female he created them.

In Genesis Chapter 1 we see the creation account:

1st day, light;
2nd day, sky & water,
3rd day, land & sea,
4th day, sun, moon & stars,
5th day, fish and birds,
6th day, animals, man & woman, (Adam was formed first, then Eve)
7th day God rested and declared all He had made to be very good.

Chapter 2 talks about God creating Adam from dust and placing him in the garden, telling him he can eat freely from every tree in the garden, but God warned him not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil or he is sure to die. Then God formed from the ground all the wild animals and birds of the sky. Adam named them, and still had no helper at this point.

Okay, here’s the question. Is chapter 2 still taking place on day six?
Has anyone clarification on this?

Happy Living for My KING!

Look at it this way: Chapter one is an overview. Chapter two zooms into the 6th day and gives a little more information. There several passages in Scripture that employ this approach. Not every part of Scripture is linear.

Awesome explanation. Thank you!
