Why are YOU insisting that a day isn't 24 hours? Because the Bible tells me so. But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. Peter 3:8 I always find it interesting that folks who claim the Bible is literal ignore those parts that disagree with their man-made beliefs, this one, IS means represents, and "not by faith alone"

KEY WORDS: WITH THE LORD... What is a day with man in this earthly life? You want to claim that also is a thousand years??? This isn't ignoring anything. It's paying attention to the context. Something, apparently, some people are unable to distinguish because their man-made dogmas get in the way.

I'll have to save this one as another example of inanity and the ridiculous measures some take to nitpick just to avoid admitting they were wrong.

KEY WORDS: WITH THE LORD...

Yes. The LORD said "Today you will be with me in Paradise" To the Lord, how long was that?

Scripture are the words of God. You apply your human and man made beliefs to change the clear words of Scripture.

Today is not 24 hours to the Lord. A day is not 24 hours to the Lord. That is Scripture you deny
