6+ days of Creation

I had really not thought about this much until now. Most Christians believe in 6 days of Creation. I do not want to put more pressure on this understanding of Genesis 1:1-2:3 being on continuous account. But it would really push me to think that there was 6+ days to creation. Now some might not have a problem.

Many people who confess the 6 Days of Creation say they were not literal days. The term day is used in other places to reference a time period longer or shorter than 24 hours. Scripture also says that a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day. But these are not what I am talking about. In verses 1-2 you do not have a definite reference for time. Without Light and Darkness being distinct or Light existing you can not have Day and Night. Therefore, verses 1-2 become a timeless frame.

In the beginning would mean the starting point. This is the first act of creation. Now there is no recognition of how long this took for the formless and void heaven and earth to develop. There is no account of when the place in which Christ ascended to was created. There is no referent of time as to when Hell was created for the devil and all his angels. Therefore, the act of creation should be recognized to have taken 6+ days. You can say 7+ days counting the day of rest. But you can not say 8 days or 100 years because you have no referent of time.

But if you take verse 1 to be creation account 1, then the six days of creation the second account, with chapter 2 being the third account you would not have to add the +. You can simply say six days of Creation which would connect to the creation account one and creation account three. Therefore, you would also recognize that Hell and Heaven would have been created during the same frame as the 6 days of Creation. Thank you.

Set Theory on the Trinity

Many Theologians are not Mathematicians. But Theologies are really into Science. For some reason there is a greater cross over between Theology and Science than any other fields unless you Separate Math and Physic into different fields. But Set Theory at its basic is the idea of taking sets of numbers or things and showing relationships. We see this in Matrices or Venn-Diagrams. Now Theologians generally speaking would use a Venn-Diagram to describe the Trinity. A Theologian would usually talk about three circles one being the Father and another being the Holy Spirit and the Other being the Son. Thus, where these circles connect that is then called God. But this means that there is part of the Son which is not God. Part of the Holy Spirit which is not God. And part of the Father which is not God. This is not true. Rather you take a list of Sets. Take Set God which contains all the attributes of God. Then you take a Set called Holy Spirit it would contain all the attributes of God and y...

Gettysburg of Abortion (South Dakota)

Letter From Dr. Allen Unruh, This one of the most important appeal letters you will have received in a long time regarding the ultimate issue – Human Life. I want to explain why! Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit against the state of South Dakota this last week. They are claiming the new South Dakota House Bill 1217 law is the greatest threat to abortion in the country and will set the stage for the beginning of the end of abortion as we know it. They are ignoring the language of the legistlation signed by our governor and spinning different meaning to the language of the legislation to deceive the American public. Their intent is to demonize and destroy the Alpha Center in South Dakota in any way possible while ignoring the testimony of women who were victims of their deception and what really goes on in their abortuaries. I watched the documentary, "Gettysburg," this past Memorial Day weekend. Gettysburg was the battleground that turned the tide of the Civil War and e...

Biblical Marriage

Marriage is defined in Genesis as a man clinging to his wife and the two becoming one flesh. This definition is standardized even in the New Testament by both Jesus and St Paul. Therefore, we have generally said Marriage is defined as one Man and one Woman being joined together in a life long union. Most people think that this Marriage union is created through a man dressed in black and woman dressed in white walking down an aisle to be joined together before some kind of altar. But this is only a ceremony of marriage. The Bride and bridegroom are actually joined together through what is known as consummation, or proper sexual relations.  Thus, St Paul can even talk in reference to a marriage bed. This concept may be overlooked by a culture that no longer views the bed as the place where a majority of sexual activity takes place. But he states this because the marriage bed is the location in which a man and woman are joined together. Just as it was Rachael or Leah's tent in which t...
