And yet the entire work that the Creator performed testifies that your private interpretation is simply wrong.
How could Jesus say that the sabbath had been "created for man" when man was only a matter of a few hours old when the first sabbath came around? The man wasn't worn out from a whole week's worth of labor.
Why is there no "evening and morning" for the seventh day? Is it because, as some Young Earth Creationists have said, "God has ceased from all creative work and is now still 'resting'?" How does this line up with the words of Jesus Christ in
John 5:17? Here Jesus is very clearly applying a figurative interpretation to the "seventh day" of
Genesis 1.
And, yet another question that you Fundamentalist Literalism adherents won't answer: Which account of creation is literally true?
Genesis 1 or
Genesis 2? For example, either animals were created before the man (
Genesis 1) or they were created after the man (
Genesis 2). Both can't be literally correct, so how do you tell which is the correct order?
Just from my observation, you guys seem to have chosen the account that follows the same chronology as biological evolution (
Genesis 1). Are you guys closet evolutionists?
