That's where my mind went first, whack the switchman. But the girl's solution is morbidly funny.

I guess I missed the concession. All timekeeping devices use energy in a precise fashion, though to different degrees. The used up energy must be renewed for the timepiece to do its job. The hourglass comparison is easier to see than the hyper-fine energy levels in an atomic clock, but it's the...

I don't know. Maybe time doesn't matter in God's domain, though I think you've argued against such before. Most longer times in the bible are marked with a beginning point and a duration, like "in the twelfth year of the reign of King Joe...", or "from the time of the decree to rebuild Jerusalem...

So He can know whether a day is like a thousand years and vice versa.

And God doesn't have a way to measure time?

How do you know?

But the way the atoms are moved to a higher energy state is by human intervention, which is a recognizable anti-entropic force, just like God is. And after they are pushed (pumped) to the higher energy, they regularly fall to the lower energy state, pretty much like an hourglass being inverted...

Why? God's word is indeed.

Sure. But if your intent is to disparage other translations, while you admit to using them, it's more of a seed of contention, which I don't see as edifying. Paul tells Timothy not to do that. 2 Timothy 2:23 KJV — But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

I use the KJV mostly, too. And I'm a strong proponent of open theism. So it seems that we agree your OP is a nothing-burger.

That's what I'm asking you.

Such must be contrasted with: Revelation 21:23 KJV — And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. "Months" is a lunar concept which only works with the sun, in our world. So your example proves...

It is, even if you don't recognize it. Think of an hourglass. Or a wind-up clock. Or a Timex. Or, especially, an atomic clock. All if them are measuring a steady progression of order to disorder. I'm not disagreeing with that, but if time as we know it always involves a decrease in order, does...

Why, are you trying to plant a seed of doubt with your inquiry?

GPS is a system that generates precise radio waves in accordance with a base frequency derived from atomic clocks and available to anyone who cares to receive them. The satellites that emit these radio waves are moving at high rates of speed with respect to an observer on earth, and at a...

If time on this Earth is measured by increasing entropy, then I would not expect God's time, which would be used on the new Earth (and in the new heavens) to be measured that way.

This is an important point, and what it means is that everything is a clock, measuring time in some way. In that respect, then, time and the second law of thermodynamics are inextricably linked, as far as we understand time. There's obviously another understanding of time that we will have in...

Either ether or aether is correct.

Here's the Hebrew, translated "of horses", for 1Ki 4:26: סוּסִים Here's the Hebrew, translated "for horses", for 2 Ch 9:25: סוּסִים Can you show me where they differ?
