    Did Adam ever eat from the Tree of Life?

    I voted no. I believe the consensus among a lot of theologians is that the Tree of Life would, having been eaten, given Adam and Eve eternal life. If this were the case, it was actually an act of mercy that God drove them from the garden so that they wouldn't eat the Tree of Life in their...

    if the YECists are literalists then why aren't they Sabbatarians?

    This is a good point, and one I have struggled with myself. A lot of Christians argue that it doesn't matter what day we worship on as long as we worship. I have (tentatively!) come to the conclusion that it is important to worship corporately as a unified body on the Lord's Day, or Sunday. I...

    if the YECists are literalists then why aren't they Sabbatarians?

    There is a sense in which this might be true, though I believe we are under the moral requirement to sabbath, in the sense of resting from working activity, ala jobs. It's a day to forget about all of the requirements of the world and focus on God and his glory. We are no longer under the law...

    if the YECists are literalists then why aren't they Sabbatarians?

    Well, I can agree with that, then. *people stop dead in the streets. Wha'ts this? He agreed with something? That's amazing!* (hey, a little self-humor doesn't hurt) :) I don't see why you couldn't sign the WCF. When I was explaining my argument to my father (a theologian) he said he didn't see...

    if the YECists are literalists then why aren't they Sabbatarians?

    Yes, I understand this. Well, they may be sabbatarians. I certainly don't know. I wouldn't assume that they're not. But if pressed on the issue (the intellectuals at least), they would likely either agree that YEC and sabbatarianism are linked, or they would use a variation of my argument...

    if the YECists are literalists then why aren't they Sabbatarians?

    First of all, let's all (and I include myself here) take a deep breath and calm down. We're all Christians here. I don't think any of us can claim to have the last word. Didaskomenos: This is not a presupposition (Deffinition: "As used here, a "presupposition" refers not to just any...

    if the YECists are literalists then why aren't they Sabbatarians?

    They have presupposed that YECs are wrong (about everything) before they enter the conversation. That's why they never listen to us. The problem is that most people don't understand the difference between facts and their interpretation. All facts are interpreted according to a framework that...

    if the YECists are literalists then why aren't they Sabbatarians?

    And herein lies your error. We cannot apply "literal standards" to Scripture. This will and does fail. Were we to apply a "literal" interpretation, we would be forced to conclude that Jesus was a literal door (John 10:9). You assume that everyone who believes in creation in six days is a...

    if the YECists are literalists then why aren't they Sabbatarians?

    Ok. No. God does not get tired. The point for the "rest" was to examine and be satisfied in the work He had done. No. God does not need rest. The point of the resting period was as an example to his people, as was the point of taking a week to create the universe (see Ex. 20:11). No. God's...

    if the YECists are literalists then why aren't they Sabbatarians?

    You present no evidence that my arguements are not "acceptable," only arguments from authority that have no bearing on the validity of the arguent. Ordination in both the PCA and OPC permit the ordinatee to "take issue" with any point of the WCF. If they deem your objection innocent, you can...

    The canopy theory is defunct. Most creationists even admit that now. So, no, I wouldn't personally include it, but then I'm not the writer. :P

    if the YECists are literalists then why aren't they Sabbatarians?

    The idea that Hebrews 4 demonstrates the non-literalness of the seventh day by making it eternal is nothing more than a misinterpretation. I wrote a paper on that, but it's not online right now. I'm not sure, but I think messianic Jews worship with the rest of the Christians. YEC Jonathan...

    Good creation resources (eg books videos)

    I'd start with the articles here. For some basics in evidence, facts, and bias, see Searching for the Magic Bullet, Creation: Where's the Evidence, and Refuting Evolution chapter 1. Also see a good article on living the Christian worldview. For intro books I'd deffinitely start with The...

    Dramatic Flood Movie

    I would note the old saying in writing: "Show, don't tell." Everyone has a worldview, and everyone expresses this worldview in what they write. What we need to do is present the BIblcial worldview in this film. It can be argued that a story is a logical argument or proposition. It is a linear...
