    This was a huge blessing. Thank you. Is there a way to get in touch with Pastor Patterson?

    It is a fact that HOW we read Scripture determines our “determination” of what it means. Hence why there is approximately 400 ways of determining what a passage means.

    Example: Genesis 1:13 “So the evening and the morning were the third day.”
    If we read the Bible literally, as I do, this means from “sunrise to sundown” Meanwhile some will say this is from “epoch to epoch”. Epoch being defined as a period of history (not a specific day but more a period of years.)
