God says night comes first.There was day ''light'' then dark began to end that day .. Day is however many hrs of daylight divided by 12 to get the length of each hr depending on season and dark was divided in 4 watches also depending on season with first light beginning the next day .. Right ? .. Genesis 1:14
Joshua 6:1-15
OK, so, you are taking it upon yourself to assume that the words written in stone were not the words that were given in the scripture here:NKJV
Exo 34:28 So he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.
Deu 10:2 ‘And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke; and you shall put them in the ark.'
Deu 31:24-26 So it was, when Moses had completed writing the words of this law in a book, when they were finished, that Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying: “Take this Book of the Law, and put it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there as a witness against you;..."
So the two tablets had only the 10 commandments written on them and were placed in the ark of the covenant.
The book of the law (613 laws) was placed beside the ark of the covenant.
God is lightGod says night comes first.
I can see that .. And I wasn't disagreeing that night come first in creation ..but God made the night and the day for us, it doesn't affect him
I always looked at it as in the night God's Spirit works with our spirit to prepare us for the new day
but how many of us listen?
No. That's not at all what I said.OK, so, you are taking it upon yourself to assume that the words written in stone were not the words that were given in the scripture here:
Moses didn't add anything. Nothing in the Law (all 613 of them) was something that Moses added. Every one of them were given by God.Why would Moses add to something if God did not state it or write it.
I understand that this thread is not about the 10 commandments. However, in the very first presentation, in the scriptures, that tells us what God wrote on the tablets, it is note worthy that He includes details about commandment #4 regarding keeping the sabbath holy and why. These details include God's own words telling us that He created everything in six days.I know it's easy to get off topic, but can we get back to the OP as this is not about the commandments of God, but the earth's age. Thank you
The 10 commandments were written in stone.
That's what Exo 34:28b says: "... He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments."
Exodus 20:7-13 contain the 10 commandments.
Moses didn't add anything.
Only the 10 commandments were on the stone tablets.
The scripture I quoted said specifically that the 10 commandments were on the tablets.Nowhere is there any indication that they are not included in the stone tablet writings.
So, you want to say that the extension of clarification of the fourth commandment is part of the 613 laws? I'm saying that the details of how to keep the sabbath are part of the ten commandments, and written in stone.The scripture I quoted said specifically that the 10 commandments were on the tablets.
Exo 34:28b says: "...
He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant,
the Ten Commandments."
There is nothing in scripture that says that all 613 laws, regulations, etc. were written in stone.
Ha, evening to morning and the rest of the day until evening (sundown) 24 hrs, any part of the day counted as a day, the last supper was the day of unleavened bread, the day the Passover Lamb was killed the same day and Jesus died the same hr of the day(instant actually) the high priest was to slaughter the Passover Lamb .. Ceremonial meals were normally not eaten until evening when the previous day had ended .. Passover didn't begin until evening ..six days - evening to morning - calling it a numbered day still does not add up to a 24 hour day in Gods timing of calling it evening to morning. The seventh day was declared a day that God rested from all His work and that we are to observe the seventh day as a holy day of rest and as a memorial of all God created. Jesus called the seventh day sabbath as a day to do good as God's commandment, Matthew 12:1-13.
I don't know why people fight this so hard. It even states, in the scripture, in other places, that it was six days.Ha, evening to morning and the rest of the day until evening (sundown) 24 hrs, any part of the day counted as a day, the last supper was the day of unleavened bread, the day the Passover Lamb was killed the same day and Jesus died the same hr of the day(instant actually) the high priest was to slaughter the Passover Lamb ..

I'll guarentee one thing... they won't argue about who denied Christ, or who betrayed Him. Or if He walked on water or actually fed 5000 or more people with five loaves and two fish...
But, they'll argue this deal about how long it took Jesus to create the universe..
Why? Some may ask... I'll tell you why..... Because mankind is deceived by the devil men have swallowed his lies. The atheistic agenda, driven by the lies of Satan, need to find a way to get rid of the need of a creator. In order to do this.. they need billions of years.
This will all come to an end, shortly, however, as they will switch to the agenda that we were seeded by technologically advanced alien entities.
Either way, a young earth and six days of creation will just flat out not be allowed.
Look up the original translation for ''replenish'' .. Then keep in mind Gen 2 was a history or summary .. The Garden was separate creation requiring a man to work it which is why Adan didn't find a suitable helpmate even though mankind male and female were created on the 6th day with no law . Adam received the first law and also a perfect helpmate ''flesh of his flesh and bone of his bone'' .Genesis 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. 6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
What is meant by these are the generations? Could there have been other generations that God could have destroyed like that of the flood in Noah's day, but no one found any favor in the Lord? I think it could be possible.
This takes me back to Genesis 1:1, 2 as the earth had no form and darkness was upon the face of the deep and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. This would be like that of the flood as everything was void and all the earth laid in water. Noah would have started a whole new generation since the one before him was destroyed.
He told us about the flood, and why...Genesis 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. 6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
