A Thought to Share

A discussion group participant was questioning why so many people want to stretch the creation week into many ages by applying (or misapplying) scripture, such as 2 Peter 3:8? I responded...

There are those who do not want to believe in God except as a nice cozy way to escape eternal damnation. In the mean time, they want to live any way that they chose, not according to His standards as set forth in the Word of God. This kind of a god is not the God of the Bible.

God is a God of complete choice, even to allow people to believe whatever they chose. People are free to put any meaning to scripture that hey chose. We are cautioned, however, to "work out your salvation with fear and trembling." Philippians 2:12. This does not mean we can work our way into heaven. It means we need to be very careful in the way we understand what God is telling us.

Then to answer the question you did not ask, What is God really telling us in 2 Peter 3:8? Is it not teaching us that God existed for so many eons in timeless eternity past that a thousand years is merely as a day as time passes from one millennium to the next? It is not a very old or ancient God we serve, but a timeless God.
