Gen 2:4 defines "yom" meaning indefinite period of time for Gen 1.
The Sun was created on the fourth day. The previous three days' lengths are indeterminate. If you understood the Hebrew you would know this interpretation is correct.
The waters passage you believe in is wrong, too. I could explain the whole thing to you, as I have worked on it for over 15 years from the Hebrew. But I won't, because you are obviously rooted in apostasy and blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, by attributing to God something that is not His.
I hope you will repent and come to believe the true Gospel of Jesus Christ which says that faith in Jesus alone through the Grace of God Almighty imputes you with righteousness.
It is a gift of unmerited favor. If you continue to put Genesis into the Gospel and mix the Old Covenant sacrificial system with the true sacrifice of Jesus Christ, you have departed from the Way Jesus wants you to follow. May God have mercy on your soul.
Uh, no. I've read the arguments on this pro and con. Yom, when combined with the definite article "the" for us, is a definite standard 24 hour day. You can search through scripture and find that holds true in scripture as well as in the language. But, I'm used to watching language be abused and misconstrued - even lied about by people who present themselves as knowing something. What propaganda rag did you get your version of the story from. People seem to get the idea that because a word can mean something in the right circumstance that they can just plug that in any old place they like - even though they know that isn't the way it works even in their own language. Somehow the rules stop applying so they can warp time, space and common sense in order to stretch the truth.
I'll repent from having listened to this nonsense; but, I've already come to the light of the truth. And you don't talk like a Christian, much less an elder.
