In your opinion do you believe world is about 6000 years old

Because I am not a literalist, nor do I close my mind to the discoveries of science in case they contradict my literalism.

The problem is unnatural events such as a world flood and a different atmosphere allow for incorrect formulas.

This is the assumption made that it was a world flood but the evidence for a local flood is just as compelling.

Sure there is. God's word states He created the world in 6 literal 24 hour days. And without question, God's word is true. (Rom. 3:4)

So called evidence is nothing more than man-made theory. Things such as the flood disprove the non-sense man comes up with. The earth is not millions of years old. It is approx. 6,000 years old as evidenced from the word of God.

Correction: THIS CREATION is about 6,000 years old according to God's Word, and since the Word translated "DAY" (Yowm) CAN MEAN any period of time from a day to an Eon, the inclusion of "evening and Morning" and Numbers (First day, etc) typically limits it to solar days.

Requiring Gen 1:2 to be at the SAME TIME as Gen 1:1, however is a "Theological ASSUMPTION" not based on biblical evidence.

"Without form and void" (Tohu, and Bohu) in every instance Biblically when they appear together are associated with a Destruction resulting from God's JUDGEMENT.

The bible states that God DID NOT create the world "without form and void" (Isa 45:18), so apparently, since that's the state it is in at Gen 1:2, there had been JUDGEMENT executed on it previously.

In my studies I have found the world is about 6000 years old. Anyone else studied time from Adam?????

I know there an argument by some Let me ask this qestion from the the word of God .


Genesis Chapter 1:1-5


1, In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.


The first day was created after God spoke into existence the Light and the separation of light and darkness.


We do not know how long that took in the context of Light Years to Time. It is only after this to we see days come to be, Yet we do not know how much time was in between. After this we see God speaking things into existence and coming to be with in a day.

We know that a day IS LIKE 1000 years to God and 1000 years like a day, Meaning God is timeless. God is not held to or restricted by time. It is a secular humanistic argument by some Christians who see the word "Day" in the creation and try to Hold God to a 24-hour day or 1000-year time frame so the intellect of man can comprehend all that God has done. LOL, Good Luck with that ye who are Finite.

Epistle of Barnabas on the six days

Further, also, it is written concerning the Sabbath in the Decalogue which [the Lord] spoke, face to face, to Moses on Mount Sinai, And sanctify the Sabbath of the Lord with clean hands and a pure heart. Exodus 20:8; Deuteronomy 5:12 And He says in another place, If my sons keep the Sabbath, then will I cause my mercy to rest upon them. Jeremiah 17:24-25 The Sabbath is mentioned at the beginning of the creation [thus]: And God made in six days the works of His hands, and made an end on the seventh day, and rested on it, and sanctified it. Attend, my children, to the meaning of this expression, He finished in six days. This implies that the Lord will finish all things in six thousand years, for a day is with Him a thousand years. And He Himself testifies, saying, Behold, today will be as a thousand years. Therefore, my children, in six days, that is, in six thousand years, all things will be finished. And He rested on the seventh day. This means: when His Son, coming [again], shall destroy the time of the wicked man, and judge the ungodly, and change the-sun, and the moon, and the stars, then shall He truly rest on the seventh day.

It was the Lord who made time--first it was evening then morning. His word is not meaningless when he said: A day to the Lord is a thousand years and a thousand years as a day

We would have to disagree

Irenaeus Chapter 5 verse 28

3. For in as many days as this world was made, in so many thousand years shall it be concluded. And for this reason the Scripture says: Thus the heaven and the earth were finished, and all their adornment. And God brought to a conclusion upon the sixth day the works that He had made; and God rested upon the seventh day from all His works. Genesis 2:2 This is an account of the things formerly created, as also it is a prophecy of what is to come. For the day of the Lord is as a thousand years; 2 Peter 3:8 and in six days created things were completed: it is evident, therefore, that they will come to an end at the sixth thousand year.

there is no Gospel Irenaeus.

Alot of your material is extra biblical. Does this not give you pause?

Alot of your material is extra-biblical. Does this not give you pause?

What do you mean extra?

The context and application are well seen if one is saved, filled with the Holy Spirit, and has learned Hebrew and Greek. If something is perceived as "extra" or added, we must look at the circle of Context/meaning to achieve the Authorial intent.

Within the :

• sentence
• verse
• paragraph
• Chapter

Hippoyltus

And 6,000 years must be accomplished, in order that the Sabbath may come, the rest, the holy day “on which God rested from all His works.” For the Sabbath is the type and emblem of the future kingdom of the saints, when they “shall reign with Christ,” when He comes from heaven, as John says in his Apocalypse: for “a day with the Lord is as a thousand years” (Psa. 90:4). Since, then, in six days God made all things, it follows that 6,000 years must be fulfilled


You are correct, but here is a man taught by a hearer of Apostle John--but how many listen to the heresy going on today
