God is not limited by time space and human comprehension

This is a very good scipture explaining how Jehovah God views time. It also gives insight into the creative days in the first chapter of Genesis. Many believe the first 6 creative days were actually 24 hour days. But those days were thousand of years. We didn't have the sun to make rotations that count as our 24 hour days, so how could it be 24 hour days. It was acually 1000 of years.

Thomas Cole's comment on 2012-06-30 17:38:15:

Again, futher explanation is required for this verse as with most others in the Bible. That in of itself is further proof that we do not have an all knowing creator being. Surely, an all knowing creator would know he created most humans with sub level IQ's and could not therefore understand the complicated messages of the Bible. That of course is why most of the Bible is so often misinterpreted! Read my book "GOD WHO?" and learn the TRUE TRUTH, Truths based upon indisputable FACTS and LOGIC!
