The Sabbath Celebrates the creation of the world and how g-d made it in 6 days! That's why is is celebrated on Saturday ( Judaism that is)Genesis 21Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.2And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.3And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.Exodus 208Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
What day did God create the fowl?
Answer According to the bible the fifth day but this should not be taken literally as this greatly ignores the vast evidence for evolution. AnswerAccording to the Bible this was the 5th day:- Gen 1 (v.20) And God said, Let the watersbring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl thatmay fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. Gen 1 (v.21) And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which thewatersbrought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it wasgood. ... Gen 1 (v.23) And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.But which day was this day? God Himself says that the 7th day was sanctified :-... Gen 2 (v.2) And on the seventh dayGod ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. Gen 2 (v.3) And God blessed the seventh day,and sanctifiedit: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.The day that was sanctified was the Sabbath:-Deuteronomy 5:1212 Keep the sabbathday tosanctifyit,as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:14 But the seventh day isthe sabbathof the LORD thy God: in itthou shalt not do any work,Since the 7th day is the Sabbath, and the Sabbath is Saturday, and the fowl were was created on the 5th day, this means God created the fowl on Thursday.
On which day was the earth created according to the Bible?
The creation account in Genesis 1 is a "refurbishing" of the earth, that somehow came into a state of ruin following its original creation. It says that "in the beginning God made the heavens and the earth." It doesn't say "WHEN" He did that... nor how long it took Him to do it.Then it says that "the earth WAS without form, and void." The word "was" is a form of the verb "TO BE," a "state-of-being: - is, are, was, were, am, become, became - and the translators had to choose the form of it that they thought best for what they considered to be the best contextual agreement.The word they chose, "was," makes the account sound like God threw together a random blob of matter sometime way back when and called it the heavens and the earth. And that along with everything else... the earth, too, was less than perfectly made... a formless wasted mess, which this imperfect God had to come back later to correct, beginning in verse 3.If God didn't make the universe "perfectly" the very first time around... then He isn't worthy to be called God. In which case, there is no God, and man and the universe is a colosal cosmic evolutionary accident afterall.As it turns out, the very same "verb" form is used to describe the creation of Adam, where the translators decided to use "BECAME" instead of "was.""...and man BECAME a living soul." (Gen.2:7)It's logical to say that "man WAS a living soul, because he BECAME that way... and equally logical to say: "...the earth WAS without form, and void, because it BECAME that way..." sometime after it was created perfectly in the beginning.All of this notwithstanding... the reality is that when God said, "Let there be light..." He wasn't creating the earth from scratch... from newly formed compacted matter. The earth was already made... in verse one, in the beginning [whenever that was]. The earth subsequently came into a condition of ruination and became totally covered by water [???perhaps to put out a fire??? See Luke 10:18]:"...darkness was upon the face of the deep [an ocean-covered planet]. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." (Gen.1:2)Genesis recounts the RE-make of the earth that was wasted and destroyed by something. An earth whose foundation and orbit was intact. It speaks of six 24-hour days of refurbishing to establish a breathable atmosphere, the topographical raising of landmasses, the planting of vegetation and making a variety of living creatures... all in preparation for the creation of man, whom God made specially in His image.The very first verse of Genesis 1, however, doesn't say how long it took God to make the universe and the earth "originally"... "in the beginning."Time is physical. It's measured by the incremental "movements and orbits of the planets and stars."Time didn't begin until the universe was made and set into motion... like a precision-made clock.In the beginning, there were no "days"... no "hours"... no time. There was only "eternity"... the humanly inconceivable "absence of time."In the Genesis account... God RE-created the earth in six days [not on a particular day]... six 24-hour days measured by the movements of the stars in a ticking universe that was already in existence.In the beginning, however... before something later ruined God's perfect creation... we aren't told how long the original creation took. Our own human experience with making things [God gave man a spark of His creatability] reveals to us that it takes time to "ideate" and come up with a thought of something we need or would like to have. Time to formulate it in our mind. Time to put it onto paper... or into a computer program. Time to design, research and develop it. Time to prototype it and put it into production.The infinite and intricate and lovingly thought out designs in nature reveal the perfection of our Creator. The perfect design of nature surpasses the best efforts of man to duplicate it, every time.It stands to reason that the universe or the earth wasn't made on a particular day. It took God SIX days to RE-make the earth that was already in existence and in a state of disrepair.
