First day of the week?

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Whatever ?

Indeed.

Your're forgetting the 10 day Gregorian reform, so Sunday is really a Friday.

What I could never understand is if he is all powerful, why did he need a rest after creating the world?

Black Holes are flaming difficult to set up. Try it sometime.

Ancient Egypt used a ten day week. The Etruscans used an eight day week which was adopted by ancient Rome for a time.
But somehow, the Babylonian seven day week using the names of celestial bodies became the most popular.

As for which one is the first - ask a 2,500 year old Babylonian.

I can't remember black holes being mentioned in Genesis




This still leaves me with questions.
If god created the sun on day 4, how did they know it was day 4 if there was no sun previously to rise and set and where did the light come from on day one with no sun until day 4?

And if the universe is 13.7 billion years old and the earth is 4.5 billion years old, what was god doing for 9.2 billion years?

Unless of course all of science is wrong and god made everything 6,000 years ago.

The German word for Wednesday is Mittwoch, meaning mid-week.

This would make more sense to me if it were considered to be the 4th day of the week.

But that's up to them, nothing to do with us, or is it?

Or to quote Ricky Gervais' stand-up routine - that means he made everything in the DARK!

But what about the Dinosaurs?

Well, that explains Dunfermline…

They were on the ark, but they weren't stupid, they got very young ones so that they fitted better.

Wow - now that is a barking mad website!

If he made the heavens then he would have made black holes.

Who are the 'They' you mention on day 4?
The Sun doesn't rise and set from a God place and he would be clever enough to understand what day it was.

You seem a little confused about the way we can do things verses how a creator could do things.

Maybe if you are really interested in these things you should engage with the churches and not just a Golf Forum.

My sister is very religious and when I have questioned her in the past about the '7 days to create the earth' her reply is that the term 'days' is a loose one and is not restricted to a modern 24 hours. Make of that what you will

1. You'd have to demonstrate that there is such a thing as a creator.
2. This is the OOB section which means I can discuss anything.....except politics.
3. As far as contacting churches, what makes you think I haven't done?
The basic answers I get are
God moves in mysterious ways
You're reading it wrong
The bible is true because the bible says so.
None of which are acceptable to me.

Feel free to put me on ignore anytime but please don't tell me what I can and cannot talk about.
Thank you

History tells us is that most , certainly most of Christian,religion “moves” with the revelations of science , there being little choice.
First Gid made Earth as the centre of the Universe… Everything else was Heaven or hell. Then of course, that error was conceded….and so on.
Religion sees the goalposts keep moving but still trys to kick from the same penalty spot.

I don't need to demonstrate anything.

You appear to have some compelling urge to discuss religion, that's fine but restricting it to a golf forum seems rather limiting. Try extending your search if you really are interested in the subject or is your interest only an attempt to ridicule those with faith. I somehow think it is.

I won't put you on ignore as in my opinion that's childish. Where did I tell you what you can or cannot discuss, all I've done is offer you some advice as you seem rather perplexed over the subject.

I do not limit my religious discussions to this forum.

Question 1. Who made God?

 

[jim8flog]

Do not forget the first day of the week next week is Wednesday

 

[SocketRocket]

Question 1. Who made God?

A God maker.

Maybe we are not meant to understand, a bit like infinity.
