That's what I'm trying to find.I need autocorrect, but on my iPad in turns lots of valid contractions into something really weird. Like when I type something like She'll [CAN'T REMEMBER WORD], it corrects to She ll[SOMETHING LIKE THE WORD] or Shell [SOMETHING LIKE THE WORD]. In fact, it does that with nearly every single contraction I use. ;~;This was a good time to say it, .

wait whatthat would have made your opposite personalities so much easier to understand had that been brought up forever agoAlso, I'm going through the same struggle in a way with RL friends. I have nary a thing to relate with them, except for My Little Pony with but one of them, and I'm crying out to God that he would help me to reach out and find something, in common with someone, . But I'm one of a kind in my church. :[

Well, that's a shock. Thank you for telling us.
Host said
Wait, what?

I'm sure you have something. Pray about it, God will show you something in common and will help you to bond. God doesn't want us to be distant from our parents, or vice versa, and as such, He help you. I know it. Also, even though I'm not going to post my (now very long) argument, do note that it does show that all of Genesis is literal. If you need any help at all with thinking about any scientific ramifications, we'll be here to help you. I don't want you to go through the Christian life alone, and I know David doesn't either.

Six consecutive literal days. So you now believe that God (more specifically Jesus, as in the the post I'm writing) created everything in six days, without using Evolution?
Host said
If a reason is all you're looking for, evolution is scientifically impossible. Why do you think that God caused nonlife to come together through billions of years, and then change over time into what we have today when it would be so much more miraculous to create humans as Genesis accounts?

1. Jesus is talking about Adam and Eve.3. The Hebrew word for Day, when used with a number, always means a literal day, throughout the Bible and in other Hebrew texts.Also, in Matthew 19:3-6 and Mark 10:3-9, Jesus describes Adam and Eve as the first married couple. We can also understand from Genesis that Adam and Eve were the first humans to reproduce. Jesus says that Abel was the first murder. I'm virtually completely sure that if there were humans before Adam and Eve, there would be murder.I'll be writing up another set of verses that show that Jesus specifically shows that creation took place over six days, but it might be rather long, so I'll do it in another post and still respond here.

The Hebrew word in Scripture means "A period of 24 hours."How does it make the most sense?
Host said
But that reinforces my point. Literal until reason to take metaphorical. Why do you take Genesis metaphorically?

Well then, I'll pull out a few Bible verses to help you with this. I completely forgot about that.First of all, we know that in each of the six days, God said that "The Evening and the Morning were the nth day."A quote of Jesus in Mark 10:6: "But from the beginning of the creation, God 'made them male and female'". See how Jesus says "beginning of the creation"? This shows that God created Adam and Eve very close to the beginning of the creation, not billions of years after he created the universe.John 5:45–47: “Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you—Moses, in whom you trust. For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”We know for certain that Moses wrote Genesis. Jesus wording here shows that we're meant to take Moses' words literally. Therefore, we are to take Genesis literally. Even if Moses didn't write Genesis, we have this:Exodus 20:11: “For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.”Some, in Genesis, use the argument that day could mean multiple things. However, in this verse, the Hebrew word specifically applied to 24-hour days. So, since we are to believe the words of Moses, and Moses said that the universe was created in six literal days, then we show that Jesus himself endorsed the 6 literal day view.

Uh, yeah. I said it was just a copy and paste. I clicked the first link, it looked good, and I used it. I don't really do that. I take the whole as literal and pieces as metaphorical. Parables are metaphors for messages, figures in Revelations and Daniel prophecies are metaphors for things to come.
