For people who believe that the Lord literally created the earth in six 24-hour days, they certainly don't believe that He literally meant what He said in other parts of Scripture. Either the Scriptures are divinely inspired and they mean what they say, or they don't. Can't have it both ways... It makes no logical sense.

And neither can you. Do you believe that the Lord literally created the earth in six 24-hour days as inspired Scripture clearly states?

Do you believe that Mary had children after Jesus as inspired Scripture clearly states, and that they are named in Matthew 13:55 as inspired Scripture clearly states?

And that man does not live by bread alone [even that blessed bread served in the churches], but by every word that comes from the mouth of God, as inspired Scripture clearly states?

Can't have it both ways... It makes no logical sense.

Re: God creating earth in six 24-hour days. He's God - it's possible.

Re: Jesus' brothers. The original Aramaic had no word for "brothers" as we know it. The word was used for "kinsman." They were possibly cousins or step-sons (Joseph's children from a previous marriage.) The Bible does NOT clearly state that Mary had other children. In fact, if she had, why did Jesus, when he was hanging on the cross, tell John that he was now Mary's son and that Mary was his mother and that from that day forth he took her into her home? If Mary had had other children, she would have been living with them, not John.

Re: "Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God." Jesus is the Word. He is God. He is also the Living Bread. "I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." John 6:51
