WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS??? God directly commands that an old man be executed for gathering sticks on a particular "DAY". He claims that working on this "DAY" pisses him off because he rested on this "DAY" after creating 'heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them'. But you said something about a day in Genesis not really being a day? It was some sort of code? But God walked right into the camp of Moses and ORDERED them to kill that old man for something he was doing on a day that was certainly not a code for anything!!!
What do you make of that??? We are all ears!!!!!!!!!
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy."
— Exodus 20:8-11 (ESV)
While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. 33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation. 34 They put him in custody, because it had not been made clear what should be done to him. 35 And the LORD said to Moses, “The man shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 And all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Numbers 15:32-36:
