Literal means literal. I know what they believed and others today.
Men whose minds we couldn't hold a candle to believed the creation days to be literal days.
Just telling you the facts. Dunno why that's so difficult for you to accept.
Days, literal days, 24 hour days. Does not God have the prerogative to create the world in 7 literal days?
Of course he does. Whether one accepts it or not is another thing. But the greatest theologians that ever existed did accept this, including John Owen.
As usual you speak out of your ass.
Is there anything you "know" which is true?
No, there were Hebrew and Latin scholars in the Reformation that knew what the words meant and still believed it to be days.
This was the factual statement I made that you denied. You contradicted what I said and stated that these scholars believed it to be understood as "metaphorical."
The argument is not whether it was literal days or not, it was whether many theologians believed it to be literal days or not.
What is it you don't understand and that I'm "talking out of my ass"? These are facts, I've studied theology for over thirty years.
