[_ Old Earth _] Hey Barbarian

[Free]

Christians have never had any confusion about a day.. 12 hours of day 12 hours of night..

Genesis 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

John 11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

Exodus 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

These passages have nothing to do with the age of the earth.

Barbarian, regarding why St. Augustine has more credibility:
Of course he's fallible. He's just not as fallible as those who want to revise Genesis to a literal history. You lost focus, dropping the issue of Genesis and switching to the issue of religious persecution.

Not losing focus

You did. Completely dropped the conversation and ran off on a bunny trail.

because it has everything to do with your theology, a man that thinks the Inquisitions are acceptable in the kingdom of God doesn't know Jesus.

You don't think that Luther, Calvin, Cromwell, et al knew Jesus? I'm not even a Protestant, and I know better than to say that. They were terribly wrong about killing as a way of spreading the faith, but their devotion to God is unquestionable.
