Psalm 90:4
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

Yes. I think it is literal. God experiences time much differently than we do.

Thanks to all who have responded so positively to the points made previously, it has been uplifting to read the comments, though there has been little said, and even less Scripture provided, to negate any points made.
Fortunately, FFT, some find the writing sufficently lucid and comprehensible, which is a relief.
What was illegible?

Now, to carefully address many of the issues raised and try to make these thoughts more comprehensible.

As stated, if Peter's writings were erroneous, then we will have to remove 1st and 2nd Peter from our Bibles, which would be sad, as he has some very interesting and uplifting things to say.
Having found Peter to be in error, we will next have to remove 2 Tim.3:16, which declares "ALL Scripture is given by inspiration of GOD and is profitable for DOCTRINE, for reproof, for correction and instruction in all righteousness," which is now obviously proven to be inaccurate.
There goes all Paul's writing, for, if he was wrong here, what other errors has he made, so we had best cut all the Pauline epistles out also.
In fact, what now have Christians to base their faith on, having found GOD has allowed error in His Book, according to a commentator?

It escapes comprehension that the comments re GOD'S time scale are so misunderstood, Lone has explained that pretty lucidly, so possibly we can give that a rest and address other matters
Whatever one may choose to believe bought about Eve's death, she died, thus proving what GOD said was TRUE, NOT a lie, "It is impossible for GOD to lie" Heb.6:18, hang on, can we include Hebrews? I believe Paul wrote that also.

The comment "The attitude of 'anything we can mine from Scripture to support our silly beliefs''' is enlightenning and if the writer is pursuing that course then there is little hope of them achieving much satisfaction in studies
Christians are instructed to search the Scriptures to ensure they are not following cunningly devised fables, and that appears the purpose of this discussion.
Not for myself nor any other writer to be propogating personal opinions or beliefs.
God also uses a day in the 24 hour context, we need only keep what is said in context.
As for the earth being only 6,000 years old, maybe we could observe that GOD CREATED the earth, the universe, the animals, and man, over 6,000 years, but, if we look in Gen.2:4-9 we find that although Adam had been created, he was not yet MADE, nor were the plant, BEFORE it was in the ground, and BEFORE herbs were growing in the ground, even more interesting is that GOD FORMED Adam out of the ground in vs.7, though he was created in 1:27?
Possibly the six thousand years of CREATION were GOD perceiving in His mind what He was planning to accomplish. The Bible does not say what time span there is between creation and manifestation.
Christian were IN HIM "before the foundation of the world," Eph.1:4, but when did we manifest in flesh?
{this is a personal theory and has no Bible support, just a thought}

'How can anyone say it is not a lie GOD for GOD to tell Adam that he would die within a day of eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge?'
Easy, Adam died within the day, so GOD did NOT lie to Adam nor Eve, and to suggest GOD is a liar is a risky thing to do. Heb.6:18

GOD is outside of TIME, as far as we know it only exists in this dimension, where we have chosen to measure it.
Being the eternal, (without father or mother, having neither beginning of days nor end of life" Heb.7:2-3
Ah-ha, heresy you say, that was Melchisidec, but, please explain, Who else is titled King of Peace, (Salem) and KIng of Righteousness? More over Abraham, a prophet, paid Him tithes, so Who was He?

Thanks for the comments, thanks also to admin. for resolving my error

FFT, twice I have written you lengthy responses, going through your latest comments, and each time I have tried to forward my response the cosmic nullity hath devoured them
As you do not believe there is a GOD, it would be impossible for you to comprehend the Bible, which is GOD'S WORD for His children, who are believers.
There seems little point putting further time or energy in trying to convince you to believe what Christians believe
Maybe yet there is hope for you; with all the study you've done one would have thought by now you would have seen the simplicity and accuracy of Scripture.
Then again, it was the scholars, the most learned students in the world who nailed their Messiah on the cross.
Does not imply knowledge of that sort is beneficial
That also shows where Christ is crucified a second time, as church leaders, scholars, etc. put to death the Word of GOD, and He is the Word made flesh, Jn.1:14, by perverting IT into doctrines of man and personal interpretations
Christians are encouraged, instructed to increase in GODLY knowledge, knowledge of HIM, not knowledge of the world
Good luck, you may need it
John

FFT, thank you for your response,the point being made is that what YOU choose to believe is entirely your prerogative, and there is no issue with that.
That you do not believe what I and many others believe is also totally your choice
Proving you are right or wrong is irrelevant, you forget that the perfect BASIS of the Bible is FAITH, which is described as believing that which we cannot see.
No man hath seen GOD at any time, but the creation, the galaxies, running with an accuracy in their orbits far more accurately than any time piece made by man; the fact that a seed contains all the fruit it will later produce, according to its kind, for years, how did the tree fit into the seed, these testify to God's glory, bare perfect witness of a creator
If GOD made His Word that any reader could comprehend IT, why is IT written in parables?
To PREVENT those who are not predestinated,
(Eph.1: 2-22), from understanding IT. Mat.13:10-15; Mk.4:11-12, is even more emphatic.
These Scriptures explaining why the vast majority will never believe. "Strait is the gate and narrow is the Way and FEW there be that enter there in" Mat.7:14
The Bible is here as a witness to GOD, His truth, history, to expose His future plans and as the level by which the world will be JUDGED
The fact that you reject GOD'S Word testifies that you are wrong, because you refuse to accept something so elementary and incontestable
That religions have screwed His Word around and use IT as a weapon to dominate the simple, to bankrupt the nations economically, morally and especially SPIRITUALLY is not the issue, though, one suggests, it possibly contributes to your un-belief.

That Godly knowledge contradicts what the world says or witnesses to is also irrelevant.
GOD made the ball game, He makes the rules, and His children accept that and trust Him, have FAITH, that He has all under control.
That you don't have that satisfaction, that assurance is tragic, for you, and maybe yet you will be able to put aside your measly little thought program and learning, that you may learn from Him.
I can teach you nothing, I just enjoy discussing the Word as IT is LIFE, for me; for myself IT IS TRUE
God came in simplicity to confound the WORLD, but He REVEALS HIMSELF to His children, those who were in Him before the foundation of the world, and I am one of them.
It doesn't make me a good man, smart, learned, but it keeps me striving to live a better life and emulate the Life Jesus lived, in Love, maybe that alone makes IT a viable belief to follow
