With all due respect, Joe, but are you going gaga or >>something?... Where is the 'wrong' in what I wrote vis-a-vis the >>above texts? They actually prove *exactly* what I wrote, i.e. that >>the 'first day' of the week (obviously 'day' meaning night and day, >>24 hours!) was the 'first day of the week', a day which historically >>is called by English speaking nations as Sunday! >> >>Likewise, historically, the 'seventh day' is the day English >>speaking people call Saturday!

I beg your pardon??? What are you talking about? Gee, were we discussing the genealogy/history of creation by any chance? I talk "bolts" and you come charging me with "monkeys"? I don't get it! What's your point, Joe? To my knowledge we were discussing the business of the *first day of the week* being Sunday from a *historical* perspective! What does God creating 'fish, fowl... on the 5th day', and 'animals on the sixth' and 'rest on the Sabbath' have to do with THAT???
I have honestly absolutely no idea what you are trying to pull here. So I'll refrain from making further comments until you clarify what exactly your basing your allegations above on!!! However, I should say outfront that I'm fully aware and familiar with the Bible, a book I've already read over 5 times from cover to cover AND in 5 different languages! It is the subject of my EVERY DAY reading and deep studying! While I feel I still have a lot to learn from it and am always in dependence of the Holy Spirit to fully understand it, its contents are by no means foreign to me!
