Should we make an issue of Bible translations? - Sam Gipp

[Samuel Pickens]

2 Peter 3:8
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

War with Satan did happen; when? Between 0-2 or? And was that war only an hour or? And with Satan flying in and bragging, look at what I've done and then the dinasour (part of satan's kingdom; see EZ 28:12-19) is extinct. Then satan is going about to and fro to decieve. And on to day 3.

As I've said; maybe this stuff is fun thinking. What I do know is the GEN account is correct. God got it right and one day I/we'll know. We are to occupy, be faithful and of good stewardship not failing the great commission.

The above model does mimic somewhat ancient cultures. Strange: here in the USA, the Hopi Indians claim this is the final percession and there were three before. CAn it be? If it is: puts the six day model as view with gaps around beginning to day 2. Or seems to lean that way. I am not counting on it being correct. However God did it is OK with me. I don't think I'll start a topic of the gospel of day 2.

This is all indeed quite interesting, but if there is a gap in creation, then why would it be written when God asked Job concerning the earth, when ALL of the Son's of God shouted for joy?

Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Job 38:5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Job 38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

It would seem TO ME, that Satan rebelled shortly after the creation of Man in his desire to BE God. We are not told after all how much time passed after the Seventh day in which God rested from all his works, and the fall of Man. After all, Man began to die once they broke the commandment and ate of the forbidden tree. So I personally do not believe that there could be a gap wherein Satan has had any rule, even though he is the ruler of THIS world which is reserved for the fire. Never the less, I don't think it is such an issue that it should divide Christians, for we are saved by grace through faith in him who loves us and gave himself for us. Oh how just knowing that brings such comfort to mine heart.

I've seen the 'thousand day' argument applied to Creation, but I believe the context is about the coming of the Lord, the Second Advent.

Should we apply the 'thousand day' verse to Creation?
