Does this mean God stopped creating on the seventh day, or could it be that he rested only one day and then went back to work?

Yes He did but His creation work was done. He is now planning His Kingdom..

He stopped the act of creation, sanctified and Hallowed the seventh day. OH, by the way, God never changes, and neither does His word, so the seventh day Sabbath is still the day that God has set aside for us to worship Him on.

Uhm.. he rested from all the work he had done that week. So basically it means God stopped creating and rested because it does take a lot of energy and work to create EVERYTHING.

Unless you are a deist, or an atheist, than you believe He is working even today. As for creation, Jesus fed 5000 people with a few loaves and fishes and filled 12 baskets with the leftovers. It seems to me God is still creating things.

It is not spelled out for us, so we have to infer the answer. God created the whole earth in the 6 preceeding "yoms". It suggests that He concluded his creative work at that time. However, God, being able to perform all His will, could certainly create more if He was so inclined.

First of all, "days" is not meant to be taken literally since God is timeless. Maybe a "day" in God's time is 2000 years of our time. Frankly I don't believe in the whole "and He rested on the 7th day" thing. God doesn't need rest. That too is metaphorical.

Haven't got a clue, but good question. I'm guessing that having to deal with Adam and Eve, He didn't get much rest so taking a break once a week would be a good idea.

Interesting thought. I do believe G-d went so far---then it all moved on in it's own time.
I think G-d got things started. Then, they continued on-----changing, progressing, moving forward though perhaps millions of years. As man has evolved, it is now time for him to share in this progression. G-d gave us brains that we might work with him toward perfection.

If he rested, that casts doubt on his ability to last for an eternity.
Time for someone younger to step in to his shoes. Any volunteers?

Why did the omnipotent need to rest?
