  i have wanted to ask this question for some time and i think i found the place.

  i understand that jw's (i use that term respectfully) believe that the days of creation are a long period of time.

  (i am not sure what the belief is either 1000 or 7000 years i think) my question is this how do you come up with that.

  I have wanted to ask this question for some time and I think I found the place. I understand that JW's (I use that term respectfully) believe that the days of creation are a long period of time. (I am not sure what the belief is either 1000 or 7000 years I think) My question is this how do you come up with that. In almost every instance where the term day is used with a numerical number with it it always refers to a 24 hour peroid. God in the 10 commandments says about ceration ".. in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day." I have not found anywhere in the Bible where it says that a day is 1000 years long. Peter says with God a day is AS a thousand years and a thousand years is AS one day. That text cannot say a day equels a thousand years becase it would also say a thousand years is one day. That can't work
