[ So the implication in Genesis 20 is that the days he was speaking of were the same length on the time line as the seventh day he now commanded the Israelites to rest on. ]

Ok, so its not obvious.. to you..
How did we get from Gen 1-3 to Gen. 20.?.. Did I fall asleep.?.

Just re-read the historical account of Abraham and Abimelech.. (Gen 20..) don't see any metaphorical images there.. We maybe not so obviously have a different understanding of "God breathed"... as in what scripture is.. but thats O.K. with me.. I'm not too smart and have to rely on what appears real and practical to me.. I love hearing what seems real and practical others.. Who knows.. maybe you can learn me some new stuff.. And God Bless you if you can get something thru my thick skull.. God has been trying for years.. it ain't easy..

The thought of a tree with good and evil fruit hanging on it seems laughable to me though, unless observed through a metaphorical instrument.. then it seems so logical deep and far reaching in scope.. Jesus taught mostly in metaphor you know.. Is Jesus God.?.. If he was he still is, if he wasnt he still isn't..
