Are these literal 24 hour days Genesis 1 3 31
Regardless of whether the days of creation were figurative or literal 24 hour
periods this passage is a truthful description of what took place It indicates that
there is intelligence meaning and purpose behind all existence In other words the
word of God directed the method of creation as well as the source of creation Ps
33 6 9 Heb 11 3 Yet human beings have been given the privilege of exploring
through scientific investigation how God may have engineered these events and
how long he took to do so
Many understand the six days of creation as representing long periods of time
because the sun which marks a 24 hour day wasn t created until the fourth day
And the word day is used in chapters 1 2 in three distinct ways 1 as
approximately 12 hours of daylight Ge 1 5 2 as 24 hours 1 14 and 3 as a
period of time involving at the very minimum the whole creative activity from day
one to day seven see 2 4 where the word that is translated when is the same word
that is elsewhere translated day The light 1 3 could not have come from the
earth s sun if the sun was not created until the fourth day The light could have
come from other sources that God provided in the universe prior to the creation of
the sun We can only speculate about what the atmospheric conditions might have
been at that time
3And God said Let there be light and there was light 4God saw that the light was
good and he separated the light from the darkness 5God called the light day and
the darkness he called night And there was evening and there was morning the
6And God said Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water
7So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water
above it And it was so 8God called the vault sky And there was evening and
there was morning the second day
9And God said Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place and let dry
ground appear And it was so 10God called the dry ground land and the gathered
waters he called seas And God saw that it was good
11Then God said Let the land produce vegetation seed bearing plants and trees
on the land that bear fruit with seed in it according to their various kinds And it
was so 12The land produced vegetation plants bearing seed according to their kinds
and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds And God saw that it
was good 13And there was evening and there was morning the third day
14And God said Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the
night and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times and days and years 15and let
them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth And it was so 16God
made two great lights the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to
govern the night He also made the stars 17God set them in the vault of the sky to
give light on the earth 18to govern the day and the night and to separate light from
darkness And God saw that it was good 19And there was evening and there was
morning the fourth day
20And God said Let the water teem with living creatures and let birds fly above the
earth across the vault of the sky 21So God created the great creatures of the sea and
every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it according
to their kinds and every winged bird according to its kind And God saw that it was
good 22God blessed them and said Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the
water in the seas and let the birds increase on the earth 23And there was evening
and there was morning the fifth day
24And God said Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds the
livestock the creatures that move along the ground and the wild animals each
according to its kind And it was so 25God made the wild animals according to
their kinds the livestock according to their kinds and all the creatures that move
along the ground according to their kinds And God saw that it was good
26ThenGod said Let us make mankind in our image in our likeness so that they
may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky over the livestock and all
the wild animals 1 and over all the creatures that move along the ground
27So God created mankind in his own image
in the image of God he created them
male and female he created them
28God blessed them and said to them Be fruitful and increase in number fill the
earth and subdue it Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over
every living creature that moves on the ground
29Then God said I give you every seed bearing plant on the face of the whole
earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it They will be yours for food 30And
to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that
move along the ground everything that has the breath of life in it I give every
green plant for food And it was so
31Godsaw all that he had made and it was very good And there was evening and
there was morning the sixth day
Is one man one woman the only kind of union God approves of Genesis
In a word yes Here s what Jesus said about marriage At the beginning the
Creator made them male and female and said For this reason a man will
leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and the two will become one
flesh Mt 19 4 5
Scripture uses metaphorical language to describe marriage picturing it in terms
of a head and body Ephesians 5 23 says For the husband is the head of the wife
as Christ is the head of the church his body of which he is the Savior Headship
has to do with oneness The wife is the body of the husband as the church is the
body of Christ Col 1 18 The mystery of marriage is that the head the husband
plus the body the wife equals one flesh
This head body picture shows why God approves only of monogamous
heterosexual marriage two heads two men do not equal one flesh and two
bodies two women do not equal one flesh This is affirmed many times in
Scripture e g Lev 18 22 1Co 6 9 11 This picture also shows why polygamy is
wrong a head one man and two or more bodies two or more wives do not
comprise a union of one flesh It is true that many people in Scripture practiced
polygamy including Abraham Jacob David and Solomon but those
relationships ultimately produced many kinds of strife for each family And
although God chose to bring some good out of those situations e g the 12 tribes
of Israel the goodness of God s original plan was not changed
Finally this picture of one flesh union does not mean that single people are
incomplete or somehow worth less than married people The metaphorical image of
one flesh is used in Scripture to identify the boundaries of marriage and highlight
the institution as a picture of our relationship with Christ Indeed Paul who was
not married made it clear in 1 Corinthians 7 7 8 that marriage and singleness are
both gifts to be used in service to God
24That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife and they become
