2 Peter 3:8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

How many Biblical passages introduce themselves by saying ‘pay particular attention to this fact’?

And yes, sunrise and sunset a first day; as well as sunrise and sunset day two; just MIGHT be poetic language, seeings as how the actual SUN had not yet been created.

CONTEXT !!!!

Peter was not speaking about creation; he was speaking about the coming “Day of the Lord.”

Stop twisting the Bible against God.

Yeah, I always find it interesting that the literalists are so selectively literalist. I mean how much clearer could God be than “But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day”?
