When was Earth Created?

Earth was created mid-day October 23, 4004 BC- Archbishop James Ussher, said this in 1650 when coming out of his morning bath, a frigid affair.

Iranaeus d. 202 AD - Recapitulation on the Golf Course:

RECAPITULATION

God takes from his golf-bag a dimpled ball labeled Adams. He swings his driver awkwardly. The ball spins off, miserably landing in a lake.
God tells his Cady, "Mulligan?!"

Then, he stands backwards. He swings his driver, hitting a tree, ricocheting into the middle of the fairway.




"Which ball was that?"


God replies, "Jesus Christ!"

Okay this is heretical in a number of ways, first of first God never does make a mistake.  To say he needed a Mulligan was my lack of understanding of Christianity.   I like the story though.  But it is a sign that I have grown in my involvement with the Word of God.   Thank you LORD for bearing with me as I am blind with out your Spirit.

"Don't rain every time de pig squeal!"

"Come now! Rich-men weep, howling, crying, after their golden robes..."

"Pigs dunno w'at a pen's fer, blunderin' fer der tempory tresur,"

"Their corrosion will be evidence against them, It eats their ...flesh."

"Watch out w'en you'er gittin all you want. Fattenin' hogs aint in luck."
