    God is all-powerful

    If God is all-powerful, why did it take him 6 days to create everything and needed a day of rest?

    I don't understand the question. Why shouldn't an eternal being take six days to do something, and then do nothing for one? Should He have felt rushed?

      Where in the KJV Bible does it say God needed a rest? It just says He rested. You are making assumptions that are not supported by Scripture.

      (Genesis 2:2-3) "And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made."

      Let's say you go and have a glass of wine. Did you need that wine, or did you simply drink a glass of wine?

      If you NEEDED that glass of wine, you might be an alcoholic. Don't worry, though, Jesus can help you with that.

        I don't drink alcohol. I'm an alcohol free man.
        But thanks for the tip.

          One of the signs of alcoholism is denying you have a problem. I pray that you find a local Independent Baptist Church and talk to the pastor there. Jesus will get you through this!

            God doesn't *need* anything, friend! He rested for US! He rested to give us a Holy Day where we can relax and do nothing but praise His Name all day long! (Exodus 20:11) This way, not only do we glorify Him, but we get a taste of Heaven when we can praise Him for ever and ever and ever! I sure would like to see you in Heaven, 'fool, instead of Hell where you've decided you want to go. We won't miss you because we'll be too happy to be singing God's Praises for all eternity! If I were you, I'd repent because God knows your future and He isn't worried for you either (Psalm 37:13).
            Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

              If you hate God so much, why do you waste so much time spewing hatred on His favorite forum?

              Jesus has called you here for a reason, heathen. Better drop to your knees and find out what for.

                Do you comprehend the principle of Omnipotence? The Omnipotent being can do anything, including resting. God could have created the whole Universe in 6 seconds, 6 day, 6 years, or even in 6 billion years if He’d wish to; because He - can - do - anything.

                What do you think, is He answerable to your rather the other way around?

                  And exactly what have you accomplished in six days? Epicfool, always the atheist, always the critic, always the fool.

                    Do you honestly think six days to God is the same thing as six days to you?
                    Doesn't everyone need a rest? Think of how Jersus feels listening to people like you bad mouth Him day in and day out. It amazes me He does not smote the lot of you.
                    Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
                    Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
                    Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
                    Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
                    Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
                    Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
