You realize that this argument along with your statement of the length of days, supports my other thread belief that words meant different things then than now?
no, because "day" can still mean a length of time longer than a 24 hour period...."in his day he was a great player"
In Genesis, the sun and moon weren't even in place until the fourth day, and the 7th day was an eternal day....so obviously "day" in Genesis ch 1 can't be interpreted to mean 24 hours.
AGAIN, interpretation is based upon CONTEXT.
See, Gramps, when words can have multiple meanings, which happens a lot even with modern words like “day”, I was taught in grade school to use CONTEXT to determine which definition of the word is being used. And that basic exercise is something you refused to do in our discussion of “submission” and you refused to do so because there was a mountain of contextual evidence and none of it was on your side, so you ignored it.
You're too focused on submission, which wasn't the topic of the other thread. Plus I agreed with
Dibble's reply so there was no need in repeating it but again, stop focusing on one word - submission. The thread was about other examples...like you've illustrated here. I'll unlock it so you can continue bashing me over there and not derail this one.
