Okay everybody
First off to lovedls, our newbie here, not to sound like a jerk, but you are not going to last long here if you take offense to everything. I speak openly about my beliefs and I will use whatever language I feel I need to to get my point across. The Bible is a big thing to argue about. I recommend you do not read anything else in this Blog if you can not handle that idea.
Mr. Tuck sir, I have no anti-God or anti-religion attitude. I have often talked about how at some level there is a need for religion, but it needs to be something personal to each person and not some group telling others how to believe or how to live their lives. That kind of thing only holds us back from living life to its fullest.
Ariala, I can not believe this is what it takes to get a real debate going here. But, there is not proof that when Moses' followers took the week as set up by others (The form of the week as we know it) that no mistakes were made. it is possible that when the switch from just calling the days by their numbers to using the name the days system that they offset their days to fit in with the week set up. But this debate is going to go nowhere, so for this part of the topic at least. There is no point in going on with it, this is that last I am going to say about it. I personally thought this to be a throw away post. I was not expecting such a response to it.
Inkwell, what? Are you smoking something you shouldn't be?
Bearden, I do not and can not believe in the God of the Bible. No matter how much I study the Bible, it is a God I would never, ever which to follow. Old or new testament, both version are lacking.
Okay, I think that is everyone. if I didn't reply to your comment here, well tough.

If I were a psychologist...
I'd say you are struggling with your own anti-God, anti-religion attitude.
But I am not a psychologist.
So I'll just shut my trap.

The sabbath
| The sabbath was made for man to have a day of rest. So the body would not run down. The sabbath was made for our benefit not Gods. If people want to work 7 days a week and run down their bodies go ahead. Sounds like you just want to try to start a argument. The bible is nothing to argue about. You either believe the bible or you don't. The Lord is not forcing anyone to serve him. And it seems you don't have respect for people either. So you don't agree with the bible you don't have to use all those profane words to let everyone know. It just shows how inmature you are. You can say want you mean in a growen up way. |

Tam, well, there's a reason we all keep a seven day cycle in the world
today...Not sure what it is, but we're all on the same "page" so to speak.

"in biblical days"
Meaning "one culture did this". Doesn't mean all cultures did.

Weeks haven't always been 7 days.
"Do Weeks of Different Lengths Exist?
If you define a "week" as a 7-day period, obviously the answer is no. But if you define a "week" as a named interval that is greater than a day and smaller than a month, the answer is yes.
The ancient Egyptians used a 10-day "week", as did the French Revolutionary calendar (see French calendar).
The Maya calendar uses a 13 and a 20-day "week" (see Mayan calendar).
The Soviet Union used both a 5-day and a 6-day week. In 1929-30 the USSR gradually introduced a 5-day week. Every worker had one day off every week, but there was no fixed day of rest. On 1 September 1931 this was replaced by a 6-day week with a fixed day of rest, falling on the 6th, 12th, 18th, 24th, and 30th day of each month (1 March was used instead of the 30th day of February, and the last day of months with 31 days was considered an extra working day outside the normal 6-day week cycle). A return to the normal 7-day week was decreed on 26 June 1940.
Lithuanians used week of nine days before adopting Christianity."

kooka, this is so silly. In the Bible, the days were referred to as the
first day, second day, third...seventh day...but just because they weren't called Monday, Tuesday, etc. means nothing as to which day was the Sabbath. Like I said earlier, the Jews have kept strict records, as have astronomers. I believe you're getting way off base. The Romans and Greeks eventually named the days according to their deities, etc. This might be of
interest

Believer or not?
Do you really not believe in God or, to borrow a line from the movie "Pitch Black," "absolutely believe" in God and "hate the moth** fu****"?
