It surprised me at our last WOW meeting the comment that some Adventist don't believe that Creation occurred in a literal 7 days - especially still believing that the 7th day is the Sabbath day. I really enjoyed this chapter on The Literal Week. I think too many times we try to figure out God and try to comprehend things that we will never be able to comprehend and it all comes down to faith or lack of...which I guess ties into a point I underlined (pg114) that "Human knowledge is an unreliable guide".
I never realized that people actually lived/had apartments within the tower of Babel. I truly thought it was just a tower. Which I question then how Ellen White knows this because the Bible states that it was a city and a tower and no mention of people living in the tower. Also, I never realize the purpose of the tower was to save them from another possible flood.
For those who will be reading through the Conflict of Ages Series, here is a place for you to post comments and questions about your readings.
The Conflict of Ages Series consists of the following books by Ellen White: vol 1 Patriarchs and Prophets (PP) vol 2 Prophets and Kings (PK) vol 3 The Desire of Ages (DS) vol 4 The Acts of the Apostles (AA) vol 5 The Great Controversy (GC)
Our reading schedule is set M-F, allowing the weekend time to catch up or to have a break from reading. The schedule is to read 10 pages a day. We plan to have read through the entire series in a little over a year.
