It also says in Psalm 90:4, "A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night."
Because the comparison is presented both ways in Scripture (each only once) and that a thousand years are also compared to a watch in the night (a distinctly different amount of time than a full day), we cannot conclude any particular implication from the comparison. Neither context overtly links the simile with the days of creation.
You're welcome to your own conclusions and applications.
Really? Where in Scripture are we told that?
Jesus repeatedly asked the Pharisees, "Have you not read...." He meant the literal words, not some fantastical allegorical mystery to which they supposedly allude. He also meant that they were to find and apply the principles behind the laws.
I bet you should not make asinine assertions about the intellectual capacity of others.
It means exactly what it says, and it also means (as explained by Paul) that those who share preach the gospel should make a living from doing so. The Holy Spirit showed Paul an expanded application of the verse, demonstrating that the Law was never meant merely to be followed word for word, but to be considered for the deeper principles to be applied to one's life. Jesus explained several of these principles in His sermon on the mount.
The deeper principles that are applied to our lives?
I would have thought that the law simply condemned everyone.
The law is a, point by point, declaration that we are incapable of attaining self righteousness.
In other words Dino246, we are savage, selfish, dangerous beasts.
We crucified our Lord after all. We murdered our creator.
A mere observation of human history and the wars, oppression, and genocides. Should be
enough evidence to convince folk of the truth, that mankind has very serious issues.
The Lord condemned us all in the flesh and no one is righteous.
Deeper principles?
You and I stand by grace only.
