Six Days

Something I find amazing is the atheists read Genesis and they git it... God created everything in six days. Some Christians read Genesis and deny what it clearly says. Why? It seems the reason is that they are trying to reconcile what THEY THINK science reveals with what the Bible says. But that's a big problem. They are putting their trust in "science," and not in God. Evolution has been proven to be impossible (more on that here). The reason why secularists still claim evolution happened is because they have to. Otherwise they will be accountable to God.
If you are going to claim evolution is true, that means God did not create EVERYTHING in six days, as clearly stated by Genesis. You then have to deny that the word "day" in Genesis 1 does not refer to a 24 hour day. The original Hebrew does not allow that. Genesis 1-11 is not written in the style of Hebrew poetry, the grammar and style is that of a historical narrative. And the use of the Hebrew word for day ("yom"), is the way it is used when speaking of a 24 hour day. The links below go to articles that examine this aspect in greater detail.
The issue addressed in the video is that raised by Exodus 20:11. This verse is in the context of Moses giving the Ten Commandments, and in particular the Sabbath day rest. Here is what it says:
“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and made it holy. - Exodus 20:8-11
In prescribing the seventh day of the week as a Sabbath, these verses are clearly talking about a six day work week, followed by a Sabbath on the seventh day. The source of this is described as coming from creation week in which God "worked" for six days (creating everything) and then "rested" on the seventh. This is not a metaphor nor is it poetic. Exodus 20 plainly and clearly talks about God creating in six 24 hour days, confirming what Genesis one says.
Most people choose the wide road. It's the way everyone else is going. It's wide and it's an easy road, so it must be the right road. But it's the wrong way!
Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it. - Matthew 7:13
The wide road, and wide gate is our choice based what feels good. But our feelings (our heart) are deceptive.
The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; - Jeremiah 17:9
Christianity... meaning belief in Jesus Christ... is not a blind faith driven by emotions. It is an informed faith, based on historical facts and truth.
The truth is that we are law breakers (sinners) in need of a Savior from the just wrath of God. That Savior is Jesus Christ.
Trusting Jesus is not the easy way. It is the narrow road, through a narrow gate, and it can be difficult at times. But it is the right way to go. And it is the only way to have eternal life in Christ Jesus.
Trust Jesus. Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved. - Acts 16:31
