24 hours is not enough time in a day.. How many hours do you think a day should have?

Question

I was thinking 36

Answer 1

No matter how many hours we get, we would want more!

Answer 2

Well time is a relative question...If one knows how to control his own schedule in order to be the one in control (not a slave to chronos) 24 hours would be plenty! But there is more...

The Matter Of Time
by Douglas Weaver

In this article we will explore the distinctiveness of "kairos" time & "chronos" time; reviewing the differences between these two dimensions of time, examining certain scriptural patterns with regards to both, discussing the unique power of each type and how to harness that power for our current dispensing of the purposes of God.

Chronos is defined as literal clock time inclusive of seconds, minutes, hours, weeks etc. It is based in the motion of the sun-earth system. Due to the revolution and rotation of the earth we experience the phenomenon of day and night, which is subsequently broken down into discrete measurements whereby we determine the length of passages of what we call "time". This idealism is called, in the Greek, chronos. From which we get the chronograph or clock. It is important to recognize some fundamental truths regarding the chronos. First of all the conventional subdivisions are artificial. Take for instance the 24 hour day which in turn defines the 60 minute hour. Why not a 20 hour day with 72 minute hours? Or a 30 hour day with 48 minute hours? Notice how easily we play with the chronos when we need more hours of sunlight in the winter. (A practice which is not global.) Second, the chronos is neither counting up or down. We can attempt to define the quantity of artificial passages of time as in calling this year 1999. But the date depends upon the calendar you use. Technically this is 1998 due to the skipping of the year zero between BC 1 and AD 1. By placing the death of Christ as the quintessential moment in earth history we have defined our current position as one being on the upward count. However, to the heathen of the 9th century BC this event was unknown.

Therefore they were counting up during a period that we now consider as counting down. These distinctions are also artificial. Third, the total amount of chronos time allotted to the earth is not statically determined. In other words there is not a fixed future date, according to man's delineation, on which all things will end. The chronos is malleable, meaning that it has the inherent ability to expand and contract. Interestingly, the governing agent of that malleability is the other type of time known in the Greek as kairos time, which we will discuss later. Also of great importance is the reality that the chronos will eventually cease. Rev. 10:5-7 says this: "The angel whom I say standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever and ever...that there should be chronos no longer, but in the days of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets." Some translations use the word "delay" instead of "time", however the context bears out that the idea presented is the culmination of God's purposes, or mystery, after which there should be chronos no longer....

Answer 3

There is no point to adding more hours to the day. We would just find other things to fill the hours with. There can never be enough time in a day!

Answer 4

Oh, I sure do agree with you. I think 48 hours for one day would be a big help. As long as 5-8 hours of sleep is enough sleep.

Answer 5

for me........i would like maybe around 30-40 hours in a day but 36 hours also sound good enough for me...........but if you try to imagine a day that long we would still want more hours in a day........that's we humans like to have more...anyway we should be appreciating the time we have now coz it is enough ...=)

Answer 6

ya, 36 would suit me better as well. let's protest to have the hours of the day changed then!
