Children of Scriptural faith incessantly hear the non-relenting repetition of the pseudo-"scientific" so-called "fact" of a multibillion-year history of the Universe and Earth, and megamillion-year history of dinosaurs, fossils, and evolution. Theological heretics purport "ages" of time misinterpreting a literal rendition of Genesis chapter 1 with three ridiculous theories:

Pertaining to (c) above, few presume that the precise geneologies of Genesis 5 and 11 allow enough time to prove billion/million-year "evolutionary" mythology. Pertaining to (a) above, Exodus 20:11 obliterates any possibility of it by stating: "For in SIX DAYS the LORD made the HEAVENS and the EARTH, the SEA, and ALL that is in THEM, and rested the seventh day."

So let's evaluate (B) above, the Day-Age Theory.

The Day-Age Theory is that the DAYS of Genesis chapter one were NOT days at all, but instead eons of time. Supposedly, during such "eons," geologic and evolutionary phenomena occurred (e.g. formation of plant, animal, and human fossils, plus deposits of coal, oil, etc). But, consider the following evidence:

1. The Hebrew word yom [pronounced YOHM], correctly and only translated "day," is defined in Genesis 1:5 by God calling the light "Day" and the darkness "Night." Yom is defined here as the light period in the regular succession of light contrasted with darkness (as the earth has and continues to rotate on its axis). This definition obviously precludes any possible legitimate interpretation as one or more geologic ages.

2. Whenever the Hebrew word yom is preceded by a numeral, it ALWAYS has the meaning of a 24-hour day. Yom occurs over 100 times in the Old Testament in this manner, and ALWAYS has the meaning of a 24-hour day. There are NO exceptions!

3. Whenever the Hebrew word yom appears in the plural (yamim), it ALWAYS refers to a literal 24-hour day. When the word 'days' appears in the plural (Heb. yamim) as it does over 700 times in the Old Testament, it ALWAYS refers to literal 24-hour-period days.

4. The Hebrew phrase translated "evenings and mornings" is used over 100 times in the Old Testament with the word yom. EACH time, it refers to a literal 24-hour day.

5. Had Moses wanted us to understand and interpret those Creation Week days as long geologic periods, he could have used Hebrew words denoting such. For example, Moses could have used the Hebrew term olam, or the term B>dor - both of which would indicate long, indefinite periods of time. But he did not. He also could have modified the word yom with the adjective rab (yom-rab: a "long" day). But again, he did not. And, as one author pointed out, if God said He created everything in SIX DAYS but really meant six EONS, would that not make Him a deceptive dishonest liar.....and how could anyone with any sensibility and rationality trust ANYTHING God said about OTHER things?

6. In Genesis 1:14, God stated that He created the lights to divide the day from the night....and that they were to be "for signs, for seasons, for days, and for years." If "days" are "ages," then WHAT are "years?" If a "day" is an "age," then WHAT is a "night?" If the word DAY in this historical Biblical record does NOT mean ONLY a period of twenty-four hours, then timely interpretation of Scriptural words is both hopeless and impossible!

ACCORDING TO HEBREWS CHAPTER 10, CAN WE OFFER OR SACRIFICE ANYTHING TO GOD TO TAKE AWAY OUR SINS OURSELVES?

There is NO sacrifice nor offering WE can make or do which can ever take away any of our sins or get us into heaven. "A sacrifice acceptable to God" such as occasionally doing a few "good" works, having more often than not a humble and penitent spirit, and infrequent fruit of lips acknowledging His name or largely presenting our bodies as a holy living sacrifice can NEVER absolve us of even the slightest sin. To presume otherwise is insidiously-idolatrous self-worship and abhorrent self-justifying BLASPHEMY! Even our sacred belief and faith in Jesus Christ as our crucified Redeemer and resurrected Lord can NEVER purge our sins! Blessing and ingestion of the spiritual (not actual-physical DNA/genetic) 'body' and 'blood' of repeated wafer-and-wine eucharist(s) is(are) pathetic farce if such is alleged to blot out our inquities.

Only CHRIST'S one-time PERFECT sacrifice of HIMSELF by Himself has - for all time - both completely eradicated our sins and guaranteed us entrance into eternal life with Him and His awesome majesty in the everlasting and overwhelming colossal splendor of His omnipotent and omnipresent glory.

With such Divine all-pervasive mercy, no sinful MISTAKES we do under demonic duress nor faith faltering because of oppressive extortion against our inner desires and free will can get us into hell -- being that it is not what WE ALONE do or do not do which either gets us into Paradise or into Hades. Otherwise, salvation would be conditional on the whims of tyrants or even us alone, and what WE do or do not CONSISTENTLY do. It is all up to God as to who goes where, and for those of us who [deep down] WANT to do and to varying degrees ACTUALLY DO that good faith-work of believing in His sacrificial atonement for us and obeying [as much as we do] the Lord's commandments and suggestions, the Lord merits US with the ability to do whatever TRULY-good works we can do in our limited capacity....and have those count for edification of ourselves and all others.

Arabs and Israelis will never co-exist peacefully without accepting Jesus Christ as their national Mediator and Messiah.
