Some Christians get stuck right there at the very beginning of Scripture with the creation account and just what is meant by "day". We even have a couple in our church that can't come to accept that in creating time God created the literal 24 hour day and created the earth just as stated in Genesis, in 6 literal days.

Naturally, not accepting a creation day as a literal 24 hour day causes them many other problems, including aspects of young earth vs old earth, matters involving evolution, Noah's ark, dinosaurs, the wide variety within species, and the amount of time Jesus spent in the tomb (among other things).

It seems there is a growing issue among many Christians in this area with regards to matters of time. Depending upon the conclusion a person comes to on this can greatly impact how they view a wide variety of things in Scripture. Some views, if taken to their logical conclusion, would even place the Scripture itself in question.

As to the time Jesus spent in the tomb, I believe it was just as stated in Scripture and the plain, simple understanding is accurate.

If I recall correctly from readings years ago, it was the RCC which began the short, partial time in the tomb with their invention of "Good Friday". In that view Jesus was barely in the tomb before Friday ended but they still call that one day; then Jesus spent all of Saturday in the tomb but was only in the tomb for a brief portion of Sunday which they count as a day. That view doesn't match the literal meaning of what Scripture says.

I read lots of post, but do not post.

I had to say Amen to your post John and to mark it liked by me, your 100% correct. Its amazing at the teaching that comes form people on this topic.

Someone is hacking my onlinebaptist  name, using my user name Jerrynumbers, in this forum. Because I did not make the post about that has the user name Jerrynumbers in it.
 
I’ve been reading this tread, and signed in to post a thought. And when I did I saw that someone is using my username, I tried to click on my messages, seems I have a new one from someone, but it will not come up.
 
Seems we Christians are scared to death of death and many of us Christians are scared of death do not believe this verse, but know that no one can kill them and actually get rid of them, for if they get shot and their life leavers their body, if they’re saved, they will continue to live, at Home, in Heaven, which will be much better than this life, living with God and our Savior along with those relatives and friends who have gone Home before us, and their sorrows and tears will be wiped from their face..

When this forum was upgraded I started getting notifications, and once in a while I will read them.

And I read the one about your mother you just posted, and just recently I read this on Air Space Magazine.

Thought I would come over and post it for you might enjoy seeing it being as your mother did this.

May God bless,

......until he stops them!

The only thing about this is when they get long, it will start back the other direction!

On Saturday December 21, 2013 we had our shortest day, now each day is just a bit longer, & I like the longer days that's coming.

Any more we stay home. Since my wife's parents passed away our family gets together only about 2 times per year.

We are not having many families that has family togetherness as they once did.

Wow, & for most new years eve is all about getting drunk, so I suppose most will get drunk & the liquor people will make a killing off of the drunks, while many of the drunks kills people on our highways.

I recall a new years eve I was headed home from the Air Force. Along a long strait highway between West Memphis & Little Rock a bit after midnight, I saw a set of headlights coming towards me. The closer they got the more they seemed to be coming right at me. Finally when we met they were on my side coming right towards me.

I thought about going to their side of the highway but feared if I did they would follow me back to their side & they woudl say its my fault.

Instead I kept getting further & further off the highways yet they seemed to be following me. I went completely into the ditch & they swerved sliding around a bit finally getting back on the highway & off they went at a high rate of speed.

Thankfully the ditch was one of those slopping ditches & there was nothing in my way & I made it back on the highway, them pulled over, got out & did a bit of walking to settle my nerves.

Yet there for a moment I though it was all over for me, I suppose that car load of people were enjoying their drunken celebration. I will never forget that New Year morning, I believe it was 1966-67.

And Christmas 2013 is nearly gone!

Won't it be great to experience perfect conditions with the New Heaven and New Earth!?!?

Yes!

Re 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

We got into the 40's this afternoon, probably be back in the 20's tonight. 

In Heaven it will be just right, in Hell it will be very hot, sure will be many unhappy people who rejected the Savior not enjoying the heat.

Its now 26º here & its not pleasant, that is if your outside.

John81, I didn't really mean moral character, more like guts. Meaning, he realized that him resigning was the best thing for the country, not to drag it out any longer than it already had been. Unlike Clinton, his allegations, trials, etc. took his focus off the country for a long time, but even after all he put the country through, he was still re-elected. But the average low information voter (as Rush describes them) didn't understand what he had actually done and believed he was in trouble for the actual acts themselves. They don't even realize he was  impeached either because he didn't resign.

I agree.

Something about Mr. Clinton, he can stand & talk to people never saying nothing but the majority of people will fall in love with him. he did it as governor of this state, them did it as president, while bring disgrace on both.

I just hope his wife never becomes president.

31º & clear.

I'm sure the coffee is good, but I better pass, its 12:01 AM.

White House Tries to Prevent Judge From Ruling on Surveillance Efforts

The president is trying his best to be the dictator.

Excuse me, Dictator in Chief.

I disagree to many people are having to pay a much higher price for their health insurance, such as my brother-in-law, $4,800.00 more dollars per year, & that's affecting both democrats & republicans pocketbooks, & people whether democrat or republican do not forget anyone getting in their pocketbooks.

And wait a little bit, it will probably jump even higher.

So this will not be forgotten.

Even democrats congressmen are worried about their reelection that's coming up.

I beg to differ with you guys.  History written in the next few years is not really history.  Real history is to be written hundreds or thousands of years after an event has passed.  Obama will be a short paragraph in a short chapter on the short history of a short lived empire called the United States of America.  Obama and all other would be important persons are only tiny blips in the great scheme of things.  It is you and I the so-called little people that lift these people up to be something they are not, "important".  It's to bad that we get so excited that we we lift them up on pedestals of fame or infamy because they have not really earned it.

 

The really important thing is to be written in The Lambs Book of Life not in a history book which will perish in a great book burning one day.

 

God bless,

Of course, the real importance is the Book of life, but that is not the question under this topic, the question was about worldly history & how Mr. Obama will be viewed.

I believe in time to come he will be deemed worst than Mr. Nixon. I believe Obamacare finished him off.

And of course with history books you do not have truth, its just the opinion of the man that wrote the book. Plus people that write history are not always trust worthy.

And even here in this United States history writers in the north & south disagree s with one another, & democrats & republicans disagree with one another.

One word:  Obamacare.

One word:  Obamacare.

Your correct, the big lie will ruin him, "You can keep your insurance," many of those that voted for him lost their insurance, plus their insurance rates went way up.

Is President Obama 'too big to jail?'

Will Mr. Obama go down in history as the worst president in the last 100 years?

Hebrews 12:1-2 is the key...if people follow the Lord, and keep their eyes on Him, then the hard times are not so bad...

 

In CHrist

That is true, to many place their trust in man, not Jesus, them when the man falls, they fall, & are very discouraged. 

With our trust place in our Savior, we can do as many did in the past, give our life for Christ.

The truly saved person no one can rob their joy.

For some reason I can not copy and paste here either.

 

Anyone know why this is happening and how it can be remedied or is this an issue with OB?

This page shows how to change your copy & paste setting.

And I have copied & pasted the instructions below.

John, I'm using IE to make this post, & it wasn't quote.

But I had the problem of copy & paste recently, let me do a bit of research & I will tell you how to change that.

Why is this topic in this area ?

He wanted  Support  & Help, so he went to the  Support / Help Desk.

Makes much sense.

I know nothing about these things. All I can think of is that when Windows updated the other night something must have changed so that it won't let me quote.

Its easy to download Chrome, just click on download & follow instructions. I've been using it every since it came out, before that I was using Firefox.
