Welcome to Gaia! ::

So, in the US, God was tooken out of schools because a lady got on the stairs of the white house and complained untill she got her way. Needless to say her way was to take Christ out of school. (sad v.v)

So, I was wandering what you guys think about it. In the US, we have freedom of religion, so there arn't just Christians in the schools.
They teach evolution, but not God created the universe.
Most kids never heard of God, their parents don't want them to.
Some schools you can't even bring a Bible, even though its a book. You also can't get it from the library, which in my opinion, you should.
You can't, as a teacher, talk about Christianity, but you can talk about other religions.

What do you think?

Actually they can't stop you from bringing your bible to school, if you do and they take it away, you can make a big deal about it and they will be forced to look into it, and the truth is they can't keep you from taking it to school. This is one of those things where the general public believes one thing and the written law says another, so you just have to make everyone look at the written law, i.e. in California schools you would think it would be illegal to have a pocket knife, and everyone believes it is, but actually its illegal to have a pocket knife that has a blade bigger than 2 inches, when i was in high school i carried a small pocket knife on my that was just under 2 inches just because i knew i could. Bottom line people assume they have more power than they do, and until you question how much power they actually have, they can tell you whatever they want.

For the record you have every right to do anything religious that you want to.

For example if your teacher decides that they are going to have the class be the study hall for the day... as a student you have every right as long as it is not interrupting class to lead a student prayer. You have every right to wear religious t-shirts, to bring your bible and read it in class, you have every right to pray during lunch, before school, and after school... and if the teachers tell you to stop (assuming you're not interrupting anything) you have every right to sue because the law protects you

Actually the greek word Yom used in Genesis means more than just a single day, Moses used the word Yom to represent 12-hours, 24 hours, the creative week, forty days, several months, a lifetime, and eternity.



Plus how God measures time and how we measure time are probably different units of time anyway, when YHWH said to Moses, "that was the first day" Moses probably assumed a 24 hour period, which is also what most people assume when they hear "one day."

God told Moses he created the earth in seven days, but as to how long a day is to God, it could be 24 hours, it could be literally billions of years.

I disagree with you completely. The Bible makes it very clear that it was 24 hour consecutive 7 days.

Anything else undermines Christianity as a whole. Why would God allow Moses to write "there was morning and there was evening" implying a 24 hour day if that wasn't the case. I'm not completely biased I know that the Bible isn't inerrant in some aspects however it is infaliable, and the creation story is so much more than just a story it's a faith issue.

We don't know how long it took after the earth was created to the fall. But as a matter of faith I say my God can create the earth in 7 consecutive 24 hour days, anything else limits the power of God

I'm not saying that God couldn't create the world in 7 days, heck he could of made it in an instant, but evening and morning are perspective, if your not on earth how do you measure morning or evening, if your on say.. Jupiter, the difference between evening and morning is longer.

And without clocks and calculators and everything how do you measure time? how could God communicate 325,245,865 years to Moses? He could say that it was one age or something, which then Moses could interpret as a day to God, I don't know exactly where it is, but someone says that 1000 years is but a single day to God, or something to that effect.
I don't know where your getting this dead-set determination to believe nothing more than one thing, I personally don't believe anything man tells me with that much strength, Moses included, until I'm face to face with the Creator himself I don't plan to know exactly how the earth was created or what time frame, and I'm not going to tell anyone their wrong when trying to conceive the inconceivable.
Maybe your right and it was created in 7 days our time, maybe not. But what does that change about how Jesus died? absolutely nothing, and that's the only really important thing.

My science teacher lets us talk about God in her class. We talked about the creation and how big the universe is one day (she said we're ready for college. lol) and we kept talking about God. It was a nice day that day. I belive God created Earth in 7 days. I don't care though. To be honest, I never even read 1/10 of the bible. I need to. I want to, but I'm to busy.

You confuse me.
