how long is a day for God, how many days, or years? Is it eternal life possible under His Kingdom/Government.?

God is eternal and as such not bound by an age.  He is outside of time as we understand it.

Do you know what will happen 5 minutes from now? Neither do I. God does, but he's not saying. So in 5 minutes when I make a choice, God will know what choice I'll make before I make ti - but until I make the choice I won't know. That's free will and God's omniscience.

In the first place, god did not create the world in 7 days -- or any other period of time.  The universe is 13.7 billion years old; the earth is about 4.5 billion years old.

Somewhere around 4 or 5 billion years. Or if you choose the biblical version, around 6,000 years, depending on which religion you subscribe to.

Dear Sonya,\n\nAbout 2000 years ago, God came to earth in the form of a man (Jesus). He lived physically on earth for about 30 years. He was crucified (nailed to a cross) by men who hated him. He (his body) died on the cross that same evening. He was then taken down from the cross and buried in a tomb.\n\nOn the third day after he was buried, he (his body) came back to life. After this, he was seen alive for a period of 40 days by more than 500 people. Many of these people who saw him alive went off and told other people that Jesus was alive. After 40 days, Jesus ascended up into heaven.\n\nJesus died on the cross to pay for your sins (and mine). If you repent (turn away from sin), and commit your life to Jesus Christ, you will become one of God's children. You can then live in daily relationship with the God of the Universe, and when you die one day, you can go to heaven to live with God for ever.\n\nFor a brief explanation of how to come into relationship with the God of the Universe, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/new/essence.html\n\n--\n\nI used to be an atheist. Over a period of time however, I grew convinced of the existence of the Christian God, and ultimately committed my life to Christ. \n\nFor a draft-version of my journey from atheism to Christ, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/testimony/seek.html\n\nIf you would like to know more about Jesus, feel free to contact me.\n\nCordially,\nJohn

Seven of God's days. He dwells in eternity where it is timeless. Remember that the sun, moon and stars were not created until the fourth day. So what was the source of light on day one? What was the division of light and darkness? Remember the Tabernacle in the wilderness? This was not a new design, it was a model of heaven. God created the earth as modeled in heaven with a division of light and darkness. This may be areas in the eternal relm where God dwells and possible where Satan dwells. According to Revelation, this heaven will pass away and a new heaven and new earth will be created with NO night. So what happens to the dark eternity? It becomes what is called "outer darkness".\nBeing here on earth, it is hard to interpret the concept of eternity. Einstein got close when he proved that time is a physical property.\nThis was a great question. Thanks!

The Infinite is one of the main reasons why I do not believe there is a god; or, specifically, I do not believe that he is of eternal duration.\n\nIf God is eternal, he had no starting point. Yet, earth clearly does have a starting point. Where, then, are we in the context of God's eternity?\n\nYou cannot draw us as a dot on God's timeline because his timeline is of infinite length. There must be an infinite amount of time both before and after our existence.\n\nIf there is an infinite amount of time before our existence, why are we here? How can we possibly have been created when an eternity (by definition unpassable) has to pass before us?

there was no matter. our human mind cant comprehend the fact that God MADE matter AND TIME . God is not bound to time like we r. For to Him a thousand years in heaven is one day here.and a thousand years here is 1 day in heaven.doesnt make any sence unless u know the truth of God. not the public , deceptive view the world gives us.

I believe you have answered your own question.  This is my belief exactly.  The bible specifically tells us that his six days is infinately more then out days.  I believe that God put the wheels in motions and over time we evoved.  Great topic!

Time is a concept created to aide in human understanding.  As is emotion. However, The Bible, Quran, and Talmud, which are the three main sources for monotheistic religions, all mention times when God was described as being angered and saddened.\nAs I said before, I believe God exists outside of time, but if you wish to limit Him to human terms, I'd say there are 8+ billion people on this planet, chances are there are about 40 prayers being directed towards heaven every minute,  If time exists in heaven, God doesnt have any to spare.

Jim, Jim Jim. Cant you see, just like the second person posted, they cant understand in evolution so it has been written in the Bible so they can understand. Put it like this, everyone can understand 7 days, but how many people can actually understand 4.6 billion years or a million years. Its just too big a number for them to comprehend, but everyone can understand 7 days! They see things as they are now, not how they could have been as they cant think past 2000years ago.

Adam and Eve were told "...this day you will die..." \nSure enough, they did not make it to one of God's days, 1000 years.\nAt the flood, God knocked man down to 120 years.\nSomewhere else (I think in the book of Jasher) God knocks man down to 70 or 75 years, I forget which

God said let there be light, some say this could have been the big bang, and I think it could.\n\nGod created "day" and "night" before He created the sun. "Day" was what the light was called, and "night" was what the darkness was called. One day and night lasts for 24 hours because it takes 24 hours for the earth to complete a rotation, and because the sun is the source of our light.\n\nBut, since light was created before the sun, it is obvious in the Bible that God's day was not dependent on the sun as the source of light, and we cannot therefore know how long His days were in Genesis. "Day" means "light", and that can mean an earth day, or it can mean some other period of time in which there is light.\n\nSo, yes, the theory is valid. It has Biblical support.\n\nThey merge in my mind quite well, by the way. Some say it's a sin to think this way, but I don't think it is a sin to make sense.

On the sixth day God created man, male and female. God said be fruitful and multiply, and replentish the earth. So according to that statement sex was not a sin at that time. It was a gift from God.\n\nSince God had no beginning he would'nt rush creating everything in just 7 literal days.\n\n2Peter 3:8  But beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.\nIt could have taken 7 billion years to create earth and man and everything in it. Adam and Eve could have enjoyed Eden for millions of years before that great and awful thing that they did.\nSince God said be fruitful and multiply they could have had many children before that sinful day.\nCain could have been the result of the first child being born into a sinful world.

The comment about a day is a time period is right on.  \n\nThe Lord's day began in 1914 when Jesus was installed as King of God’s Kingdom. And it will continue right through to the end of the Thousand Year Reign, when Christ will ‘hand over the kingdom to his God and Father. \n\n The Bible book that tells us most about the Lord’s day is Revelation. Almost all the prophecies of this book are fulfilled during the Lord’s day. But Revelation is only the climax of a series of prophetic books that tell us about that day. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel, among others, also tell us about it. Often, what they say helps us to understand better the prophecies in Revelation\n\nDuring the Lord's day there is going to be a great tribulation at which time Jesus is going to clean up the Earth, get rid of the Satanic influence and then during the 1000 year reign the Earth will once again be restored to a paradise.

First let's define kingdom, there is a king and his dominion, or KINGDOMinion.\n\nThe kingdom of heaven is really everyplace where God is or reigns. So the kingdom of heaven can be in you, your grey matter, your spirit.\n\nThe first resurrection, mortal putting on immortality, is at the beginning of the 1000 year reign of Christ. The second resurrection is at the great white throne judgment.
