With all the Words our Lord spoke, it was His Actions, including the Resurrection that converted souls.

Ah-ha . . . you believe in the supernatural resurrection of your "messiah" as recorded in the "new testament" but you regard the creation of the universe in six days as related in Genesis to be completely unimportant and negotiable.

More theological anti-Semitism.

We have eyewitnesses to the Resurrection. There were no eyewitnesses at Creation except the Trinity, Himself. Additionally, by literalist logic, a garden snake spoke perfect Hebrew to Adam and Eve and God scheduled Creation in His day-planner.

The Church does not consider Creation "unimportant", per se, but the Fundamentalist hang-up on "God and His Almighty 7-Day Work Week" detract from the substance of the story - which is, the world was created by God, for man, and man disobeyed God, thus bespoiling Eden and ushering death into the world. Whether or not God created the world over a long-weekend or over the span of tens of thousand of years is not of ultimate importance to salvation. If others want to debate it ad nauseum, fine. It makes no difference in the end.

###"...but you regard the creation of the universe in six days as related in Genesis to be completely unimportant and negotiable."###

Sorry, but where do you read that statement in my post? Your assuming something that is not true. If it were not for the Old Testament, the New Testament would be moot.

"A day is but a thousand years" to the Trinity and six days could be 2,190,000 days or just the 6 days you quote.
--2 Peter 3:8
