<GRIN> I knew we were in agreement, Dear Sister in Christ! I was just spelling it out for those who may not have thought about this subject as long and as hard as we have.

And, that is particularly true for those who have been taught (or worse, teach) [erroneously] that there must be ONLY one viewpoint.

.... for those who have been taught (or worse, teach) [erroneously] that there must be ONLY one viewpoint.

But THAT viewpoint can only be the human viewpoint.

Tell me please, HOW that cannot involve "making man the measure of God?"

What is time from the human standpoint? Our standard units of time — day, year, etc. — are all human notional products derived from a very local frame of reference. I.e., a "day" is the time it takes for the Earth to complete one full rotation on its axis ( (i.e., ~24 hours); a "year" is the time it takes for the Earth to complete one full revolution around our parent star, the Sun (i.e., ~365 days).

Even if we were to say "a Day of the Lord is as 1,000 years," we are still using the human notional concept of what a "year" is.

A Timeless God is not bound by such notional, finite temporal units.

Just trying to get a conversation going on this issue.

Thank you so very much, dear brother in Christ, for your thought-provoking, if "controversial," insights! (I'm sure my statements are pretty "controversial," too.... But someone please show me where they're wrong.)
