It appears that some family-member survivors of the nine negroid persons shot to death during a church Bible study in Charleston by some young white guy with an anti-niggar vendetta made a serious mistake.
Never forgive anyone who does not deserve to be forgiven, whether out of fear that you will be his or her next target, or to belay suspicious of and from the demonic network media, that you yourself will be targeted by them to watch if you will become a retaliatory-vigilante avenger of blood, as it states in the Torah and more:
Numbers 35:9 And the LORD said to Moses,
35:10 "Say to the people of Israel, When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
35:11 then you shall select cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer who kills any person without intent may flee there.
35:12 The cities shall be for you a refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer may not die until he stands before the congregation for judgment.
35:13 And the cities which you give shall be your six cities of refuge.
35:14 You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and three cities in the land of Canaan, to be cities of refuge.
35:15 These six cities shall be for refuge for the people of Israel, and for the stranger and for the traveler among them, that any one who kills any person without intent may flee there.
35:16 But if he struck him down with an instrument of iron [as with lead bullets in a gun], so that he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall be put to death.
35:17 And if he struck him down with a stone in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall be put to death.
35:18 Or if he struck him down with a weapon of wood in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer; the murderer shall be put to death.
35:19 The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death; when he meets him, he shall put him to death.
35:20 And if he stabbed him from hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died,
35:21 or in enmity struck him down with his hand, so that he died, then he who struck the blow shall be put to death; he is a murderer; the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meets him.
35:22 But if he stabbed him suddenly without enmity [whoops!], or hurled anything on him without lying in wait,
35:23 or used a stone, by which a man may die, and without seeing him cast it upon him, so that he died, though he was not his enemy, and did not seek his harm;
35:24 then the congregation shall judge between the manslayer and the avenger of blood, in accordance with these ordinances;
35:25 and the congregation shall rescue the manslayer from the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, to which he had fled, and he shall live in it until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil.
35:26 But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the bounds of his city of refuge to which he fled,
35:27 and the avenger of blood finds him outside the bounds of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood slays the manslayer, he shall not be guilty of blood.
35:28 For the man must remain in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest; but after the death of the high priest the manslayer may return to the land of his possession.
35:29 And these things shall be for a statute and ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your abodes.
35:30 If any one kills a person, the murderer shall be put to death on the evidence of witnesses; but no person shall be put to death on the testimony of one witness.
35:31 Moreover you shall accept no ransom [plea bargaining, life imprisonment, parole, etc.] for the life of a murderer, who is guilty of death; but he shall be put to death.
35:32 And you shall accept no ransom [nor give any "rights" of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness] for him who has fled to his city of refuge, that he may return to reside in the land before the death of the high priest.
35:33 You shall not thus pollute the land in which you live; for blood pollutes the land, and no expiation can be made for the land, for the blood that is shed in it, except by the blood of him who shed it.
35:34 You shall not defile the land in which you live, within which I reside; for I the LORD live in among the people of Israel."
Deuteronomy 19:1 When the LORD your God cuts off the nations whose land the LORD your God gives you, and you dispossess them and reside in their cities and in their houses,
19:2 you shall set apart three cities for you in the land which the LORD your God gives you to possess.
19:3 You shall prepare the roads, and divide into three parts the area of the land which the LORD your God gives you as a possession, so that any manslayer can flee to them.
19:4 This is the provision for the manslayer, who by fleeing there may save his life. If any one kills his neighbor unintentionally without having been at enmity with him in time past...
19:5 as when a man goes into the forest with his neighbor to cut wood, and his hand swings the axe to cut down a tree, and the head slips from the handle and strikes his neighbor so that he dies...he may flee to one of these cities and save his life;
19:6 lest the avenger of blood in hot anger pursue the manslayer and overtake him, because the way is long, and wound him mortally, though the man did not deserve to die, since he was not at enmity with his neighbor in time past.
19:7 Therefore I command you, You shall set apart three cities.
19:8 And if the LORD your God enlarges your border, as he has sworn to your fathers, and gives you all the land which he promised to give to your fathers...
19:9 provided you are careful to keep all this commandment, which I command you this day, by loving the LORD your God and by walking ever in his ways...then you shall add three other cities to these three,
19:10 lest innocent blood be shed in your land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, and so the guilt of bloodshed be upon you.
19:11 But if any man hates his neighbor, and lies in wait for him, and attacks him, and wounds him mortally so that he dies, and the man flees into one of these cities,
19:12 then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him from there, and hand him over to the avenger of blood, so that he may die.
19:13 Your eye shall not pity him, but you shall purge the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, so that it may be well with you.
Joshua 20:1 Then the LORD said to Joshua,
20:2 "Say to the people of Israel: Appoint the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you through Moses,
20:3 that the manslayer who kills any person without intent or unwittingly may flee there; they shall be for you a refuge from the avenger of blood.
20:4 He shall flee to one of these cities and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and explain his case to the elders of that city; then they shall take him into the city, and give him a place, and he shall remain with them.
20:5 And if the avenger of blood pursues him, they shall not give up the slayer into his hand; because he killed his neighbor unwittingly, having had no enmity against him in times past.
20:6 And he shall remain in that city until he has stood before the congregation for judgment, until the death of him who is high priest at the time: then the slayer may go again to his own town and his own home, to the town from which he fled."
20:7 So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriatharba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.
20:8 And beyond the Jordan east of Jericho, they appointed Bezer in the wilderness on the tableland, from the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead, from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan, from the tribe of Manasseh.
20:9 These were the cities designated for all the people of Israel, and for the stranger traveling among them, that any one who killed a person without intent could flee there, so that he might not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, till he stood before the congregation.
As previously mentioned, never forgive anyone who does not deserve to be forgiven, especially if the one who does not deserve to be forgiven has given absolutely no indication that he or she does not regret the sinful crime they did, does not regard their sinful crime as a sinful crime, and/or verifiably expresses intention to do it all over again, or something similar, if they ever got the chance.
If any understandable motive is to be ascertained as to why the young white man, who gunned down the aforementioned nine "people of color," one should analyze the guy's own words as to the cause (not "reason") of why he did what he did, which essentially seems to be that "blacks" have taken over majority advantage as welfare recipients [and much more!] because of both racist whites and racist blacks unduly apportioning such to blacks merely because of their skin color (although it is amazing how many whites are CEOs of major corporations and businesses!), on racist grounds of inordinate reparations presumed due black offspring for alleged previous massive slave abuse in the South.
But the young shooter himself perhaps made two mistakes:
a. He did not first ask permission of those he murdered to murder them, did not first gather personal facts about them relating to them actually doing what deserved the death penalty, did not first get authority from or agreement with others for sufficient grounds to murder them, and apportioned fatal punishment against them for sins of such not necessarily worthy of capital punishment, and
b. He perhaps shot the wrong persons in a religious setting, and maybe should instead have targeted high-profile religious racist-agitator subversives, and their satanic network-media shills, with their non-deserved name of "rev" in front of their names (particularly those of [Nigerian-type] "black" [but actually quite brown] skin color, such as "dr" Marty King [already executed, or murdered - depending upon your point of view], Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and even closet-muslem/pseudo-"christian" Kenyan-not-Hawaiian-born Barack Hussein Obama (the worst of all), even though the identity of the latter would be in question in the estimation of Obamanite media who presume that who they non-constitutionally mis-term "the President" was supposedly instead born in Hawaii).
Proverbs 6:12 A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech,
Proverbs 6:14 with perverted heart devises evil, continually planting discord;
Proverbs 6:15 therefore calamity will come upon him/her suddenly; in a moment he/she will be broken beyond healing.
Romans 16:17 I appeal to you, brethren, to take note of those who create dissensions and difficulties, in opposition to the doctrine which you have been taught; avoid them.
First Corinthians 1:10 I appeal to you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree and that there be no dissensions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.
Titus 3:9 But avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels over the law, for they are unprofitable and futile.
Jude 1:19 They are these who set up divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit.
The racist-in-part RSV states that...
Genesis 21:9 But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, playing with her son Isaac.
But the KJV-type translations state that...
Genesis 21:9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, he whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
The antisemitically-racist-in-part RSV states that...
Ezra 4:7 And in the days of Artaxerxes, Bishlam and Mithredath and Tabeel and the rest of their associates wrote to Artaxerxes king of Persia; the letter was written in Aramaic and translated.
Isaiah 36:11 Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to the Rabshakeh, "[Please], speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it; do not speak to us in the language of Judah within the hearing of the people who are on the wall."
But other translations state that...
Ezra 4:7 [KJV-types] And in the days of Artaxerxes, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel and the rest of their companions, wrote to Artaxerxes king of Persia. And the letter was written in the Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue.
Isaiah 36:11 [AV, ASV, Darby] Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah to Rabshakeh: Speak, I implore you and your servants, in the Syrian language; for we understand it; but speak not to us in the Jew's language [of Judah], in the ears of the people who are on the wall.
The racist-in-part RSV states that...
Acts 17:26 And he made from one every nation of men to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their habitation...
But the KJV states that...
Acts 17:26 And He has made all nations of men of one blood to reside on all the face of Earth, ordaining fore-appointed seasons and boundaries of their dwellings... [Whatever your choice-or-non-choice of skin color, both your and my grandfathers+ stepped off the same Ark together after Noah's Worldwide Flood]
Should not RSV mistranlators ["black," or whatever] also have been the target of the Charleston shooter?
What kind of a [assault-weapon-type?] gun did the young man in Charleston use, and did he have a substantial arsenal ready? Had he obtained the gun legally, or illegally? Was it his, purchased from a gun dealer, or borrowed, or stolen? Why did a white guy attend a black Bible study? Did he have a thing for noxious boom-boom-bass runallthewordstogether black rap-crap noise? Had he pre-meditated murdering every black he could in and during the Bible study, but only if they started discussing the Ferguson and McKinney situations, with racist partiality vocalized in favor of mischievous or disruptive blacks, along with uttering occasional derogatory remarks interspersed now and then against white cops?
Whatever the case, if the acts of killing in Charleston are rightly, properly, and correctly reckoned, by a fair-minded jury of whatever skin colors, as murders [instead of understandable executions], the following should, in all justice, be promptly administered by the authorities assigned to the gruesome task of recompense:
Exodus 21:22 When men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that there is a miscarriage, and yet no harm follows, the one who hurt her shall be fined, according as the woman's husband shall lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
21:23 If any harm follows, then you shall give life for life,
21:24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
21:25 burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Leviticus 24:10 Now an Israelite woman's son, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the people of Israel; and the Israelite woman's son and a man of Israel quarreled in the camp,
24:11 and the Israelite woman's son blasphemed the Name, and cursed. And they brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
24:12 And they put him in custody, till the will of the LORD should be declared to them.
24:13 And the LORD said to Moses:
24:14 "Bring out of the camp him who cursed; and let all who heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
24:15 And say to the people of Israel: Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.
24:16 He who blasphemes the name of the LORD shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him; the sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.
24:17 He who kills a man shall be put to death.
24:18 He who kills a beast shall make it good, life for life.
24:19 When a man causes a disfigurement in his neighbor, as he has done it shall be done to him,
24:20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has disfigured a man, he shall be disfigured.
24:21 He who kills a beast shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.
24:22 You shall have one law for the traveler and for the native; for I am the LORD your God."
24:23 So Moses spoke to the people of Israel; and they brought him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. Thus the people of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Deuteronomy 19:21 Your eye shall not pity; it shall be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Accordingly, if then when proven that the shooting spree was one of genocide, a federal-facility executioner should take a similar type of firearm and shoot the young man nine times - once for each of the now-dead persons the young man shot to death - aiming and squarely hitting the first shot at the guy's right hand, the next at his left hand, then his right foot, then his left foot, then right kneecap, then left kneecap, then at his stomach, then his neck, and finally square into the center of his chest (or between the guy's eyes in the forehead, at his discretion).
Not only to Armed America Radio and the Conceal-Carry pro-guns types, but most every other talkshow host and others, the daunting question arises: "How can we as American preserve the legitimacy and need for what is stated in the Second Amendment, yet ensure that only good guys get whatever are broadly(?) defined as: "arms" (e.g. firearms, air rifles and pistols, BB guns, slingshots, bow and arrows, spears, swords, knives, nitrous fertilizer, rocks, rope to hang with, water to drown with, gravity to crush with, fire to burn with, poison, etc.)-- while making as certain as possible in our deficient pluralistic/non-theocratic confines, that those who should not legally get and have guns or whatever never get nor have them.
Of course, it is up to the Almighty Creator to choose His Divine choice of "arms" which only He can muster up and deploy against who He considers deserving lethal (or at least injurious) "remedies" - using Acts-of-God earthquakes, lava eruptions, meteor showers, solar flares, tornadoes and hurricanes, and whatever else we can't even think of at the moment.
We all, of course do not currently reside in a Divine theocracy headed by a returned and gloriously-powerful Christ Jesus, impeccably ruling with a proverbial rod of iron during the future Millennium, but we can, until then, do the best we can as a lamentably-limited substitute.
Both federal and state Departments of Civilian Armaments [DOCA] should be created and headed by presidentially-appointed genuine-Christian men (not women) whose job is to mass-survey householders with Biblically-oriented questionnaires to determine who and who not should get free sporting-and-self-defense pistols, brief training about the operation and use of such guns, and automatic conceal-and-carry permanent certification.
Merely giving such householder-survey recipients a DOCA survey which the householders can easily guess the desired answer of the DOCA departments would obviously be inadequate to determine eligibility. Proof of church attendance (like retaining and presenting several Sunday church-service bulletins over a reasonable period of time), plus presentation of copies of both the KJV and RSV or NASV or ESV Bibles to a DOCA agent official when physically registering at a DOCA outlet, would be required, as would having a clear police and non-criminal record to obtain the free government firearm.
DOCA questionnaire questions, to construct a composite mosaic of the true personality and character of each applicant, might include interrogatives such as:
1. Genesis chapter 4:8 states that Cain said to Abel his brother: "Let us go out to the field." And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and killed [should the textual word instead be: murdered?] him.
4:9 Then the LORD said to Cain: "Where is Abel your brother?" [Smart-ass] Cain replied [with a lie]: "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?"
4:10 And the [non-intimidated] LORD said: "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
4:11 And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
4:12 When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength; you shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth."
4:13 Cain said to the LORD: "My punishment is greater than I can bear.
4:14 Hey, you have driven me this day away from the ground; and from your face I shall be hidden; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will slay me."
4:15 Then the LORD said to him: "Not so! If any one slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." And the LORD put a mark on Cain, lest any who came upon him kill him.
Was the LORD just and fair in not promptly executing Cain for sassing Him, lying to Him, and murdering Cain....right on the spot?
2. According to Genesis 4:23-24, Lamech said to his wives: "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; you wives of Lamech, hearken to what I say: I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for striking me. If Cain is avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy-sevenfold."
What the duce was that supposed to mean? Where is the justice in murdering someone for simply getting punched in the face or gut or wherever?
3. It has been recorded in Hebrews 10:28 that a man who has violated the law of Moses dies without mercy at the testimony of two or three witnesses. And:
Numbers 35:30 If any one kills a person, the murderer shall be put to death on the evidence of witnesses; but no person shall be put to death on the testimony of one witness.
Deuteronomy 17:6 On the evidence of two witnesses or of three witnesses he that is to die shall be put to death; a person shall not be put to death on the evidence of one witness.
Moses, when alone with an Egyptian, murdered(?) the Egyptian as recorded in Exodus 2:12-14. Samuel the LORD's prophet "hewed Agag the king in pieces" for making women childless, according to First Samuel 15:33. Singular David by himself executed Goliath.
Did all of the killers named above violate the Torah requiring approval for the death penalty by multiple, and not singular, persons?
4. Joshua killed many Canaanite people with a sword. Jesus, in Matthew 26:52, to Peter: "Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword."
Did not Moses, Samuel, and David "take to the sword?" If so, did they all themselves perish by the sword? If not, why not?
5. Phineas, son of a priest, barged into a tent and stabbed to death a man and woman having sex in that tent.
Was God's response about Phineas negative? If not, why not?
6. The Biblical proverb of Ecclesiastes 3:8 states: "a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace."
Does that verse suggest, imply, and/or advocate: "Make love, not war?" How about the verses:
Isaiah 2:4 He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Micah 4:3 He shall judge between many peoples, and shall decide for strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more...
Does oppositely-intentioned Joel 3:10 of: "Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say: "I am a warrior," as reverse command, imply mandatory disarmament, plus cowardly retreat against armed aggressors?
7. Note the following Scripture segment:
Luke 22:35 And he said to them: "When I sent you out with no purse or bag or sandals [with or without socks on], did you lack anything?" They said, "Nothing."
22:36 He said to them, "But now, let him who has a purse take it, and likewise a bag. And let him who has no sword sell his mantle and buy one.
22:37 For I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me: 'And he was reckoned with transgressors'; for what is written about me has its fulfillment."
22:38 And they said: "Look, Lord, here are two swords." And he said to them: "It is enough."
On the basis of the above-mentioned verses, would command-to-arm-themselves Christ and His disciples support the Second Amendment with their "two swords" thing?
Why would the disciples need two swords? Registered with Roman-Government officials? For cutting trees or shrubs only? Protection against wild animals only? Hunting animals for food only? Fencing practice only? Or also self-defense in case they encountered an armed attacker?
8. The Proverbs 29:19 axiom reads: "By mere words a servant is not disciplined, for though he understands, he will not give heed."
Does that infer a possible need for self-protective firearms under certain circumstances?
9. First Samuel 13:19-30 states:
Now there was no smith to be found throughout all the land of Israel; because the Philistines said: "Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears"; but every one of the Israelites went down to the Philistines to sharpen his plowshare, his mattock, his axe, or his sickle...
Should Israel have been depended upon their enemy the Philistines for ammunition-equivalent provisions?
10. Is gathering sticks on Sunday a crime punishable by death, according to:
Numbers 15:29 You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native among the people of Israel, and for the stranger who travels among them.
15:30 But the person who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native or a traveler, reviles the LORD, and that person shall be cut off from among his people.
15:31 Because he has despised the word of the LORD, and has broken his commandment, that person shall be utterly cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him."
15:32 While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day.
15:33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.
15:34 They put him in custody, because it had not been made plain what should be done to him.
15:35 And the LORD said to Moses: "The man shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp."
15:36 And all the congregation brought him outside the camp, and stoned him to death with stones, as the LORD commanded Moses?
Yes. No wonder liquor stores are closed on Sundays.
11. The Biblical passage Matthew 5:38 states that: "You have heard that it was [perhaps prejudicially] said [in one-sided-and-narrow-minded haughty and hypocritical 'holier-than-thou' arrogance, forgetting accidental or misunderstood human frailty]: 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'
5:39 But I say to you: "Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also;
5:40 and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well;
5:41 and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
5:42 Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you."
Do the previous verses mean that we Christians are required to let thieves deplete our entire bank account so that we cannot tithe in church offering plates, pay our bills causing our wife and kids to starve to death, let vandals smash our only car and burn our only house down in the middle of winter, rape and murder our wife and kids, give them the requested machete to chop off our heads, blow up all churches nationwide, burn all detectable Bibles everywhere, mouth their requirement to tell God to get off His throne, let Satan take over, and go play with Himself, be cowardly-pacifist pansies and both throw our pearls before genocidal swine, and give murderous dogs what is holy, according to:
Matthew 7:6 "Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot and turn to attack you."
Hmmm....
12. In Second Samuel chapter 11, it is recorded that King David was slacking, or on vacation, one afternoon, when he should have been out leading his army at war, and that he happened to glance from his rooftop at an ambitious, well-proportioned-and-really cute, deliberately-nude-female-bathing-exhibitionist and apparently-yet-childless-at-the-time Bathsheba, already married to [former-Canaanite-barbarian?] loyal-to-David Uriah, who David "conveniently" set up as a front-line war casualty to clear the way for him to get Bathsheba as his own, to the shock of Uriah's relatives.
It states in the Torah:
Leviticus 20:10 If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death.
Yet it states in the New Testament:
James 2:13 For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy; yet mercy triumphs over judgment.
Neither David nor Bathsheba was executed, being he himself was "top-dog" sovereign-commander king and Bathsheba his new queen. Was it fair and right that neither David nor Bathsheba was executed [at least by God Himself] for committing adultery, which they actually did? Was David's verbal sincere lament of deep remorse and regret what obtained mercy for him? Is any punishment of any sort then required against anyone who voices whatever meager or substantial expression of regret and remorse for any sinful crime they commit for any cause? If, and only if so, why?
It has been stated in:
Genesis 1:31 And God saw everything that He had made, and hey, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day ["day," or yom in original Hebrew, only and always means a 24-hour period, being qualified not merely by the ordinal number "sixth" but also preceded by the Hebrew idiomatic phrase: "...and there was evening and there was morning..."].
First Timothy 4:4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving...
It should be obvious that Christians do not receive Satan with thanksgiving, nor should they, being:
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist The Devil and he [not "she"] will flee [away] from you.
If everything is said by Scripture to be good, how can anything be evil? Won't everyone get to Heaven because "everything is good?" Was the Forbidden Tree in the Garden [part of that "everything was good"] also good, plus Satan the Tempter and his demons, also "good" - and not evil?
They key to understanding that is related to:
First Corinthians 15:27 God has put all things in subjection under His feet." But when it says: "All things are put in subjection under Him," it is plain that He is excepted who put all things under Him.
The implausibility of all-inclusive "all is good" acceptability is quickly and definitively revealed by other Scriptural elaborations, such as:
John 8:44 You are of your father The Devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
Why does not the Bible use scientific timing designations such as Julian or Gregorian calendar dates? Isn't it arcane or childish to merely state the phrases: "in the beginning," and "it came to pass," to define time periods, and refer to which male offspring followed which male father, and to mention strangely-named Hebrew months?
Exodus 23:15 You shall keep the feast of non-leavened bread; as I commanded you, you shall eat non-leavened bread for seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. None shall appear before me empty-handed.
First Kings 6:1 In the four hundred and eightieth year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the house of the LORD.
First Kings 6:38 And in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished in all its parts, and according to all its specifications. He was seven years in building it.
Nehemiah 1:1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now it happened in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Susa the capital,
Nehemiah 1:2 that Hanani, one of my brethren, came with certain men out of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that survived, who had escaped exile, and concerning Jerusalem.
Nehemiah 2:1 In the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, I took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad in his presence.
Why not have months named as to normal English-word identifications, such as January, February, March...all the way to December?
The above-mentioned English-month names were not invented (or concocted) before Julian and Gregory came on the scene in ancient Bible times. Not only that, but the Hebrew lunar-month designations were based upon astronomical observation, and so time periods were delineated according to that.
Actually, the present calendar widely used in America and elsewhere is rather deficient, in that some months inconsistently have only 30 days while others have 31 days, and there is the repeated inclusion of the extra day for "leap year" - all of which clearly indicates that the current duration period of a second according to our current clocks is very slightly inaccurate and incorrect, and hence also the duration period of a minute, hour, day, week, month, and year....in relation to our equally inaccurate and incorrect calendar.
