    Leaning TE, Questioning a Lot

    Your last quote was about the first thing I was told by my mother. I just decided to stop talking about it after saying, "no that's not really accurate." Regardless, apparently within my conservative sector of Christianity it is a taboo topic. In all honesty I am not going to go around...

    deja vu

    Such a great question! I don't know that I do know what God "sounds like." I've never heard him in the literal form of using my ears. I know that sounds silly, but I'm serious. What I do know is that I've had many moments in my life where I've made time to be still and seek him...his...

    G'day, Christian Forums!

    Hi there! I've already started a thread and written a bit on this site, however I just noticed this section. So I'd like to say "Hello!" I stumbled upon this forum in studying history of Christianity. I'm glad I found it. I have gained a lot of wisdom already from just reading it...

    Leaning TE, Questioning a Lot

    Thank you, Doc Strangelove. You are spot on about the YEC view being a central core theme in which all theology is based on that view. That's what I've learned my entire life without even realizing it. That's why I'm so dumbfounded right now. The irony to all this is how the Lord works. I...

    Leaning TE, Questioning a Lot

    Everything you said is very informative. Thank you a ton and for the welcome! I love the list above. More learning time! Also, thanks for the examples of Revelation and Proverbs. Like Archie mentioned, I need to work on this part immensely--learning the Word better.

    Leaning TE, Questioning a Lot

    Thanks for the intro and for the "you're not alone." I think we had the same childhood, however I was eight when Baptized. Your thoughts on the flood are what I originally concluded as well, but the part about our native americans having the same tales perplexed me in dealing with the time...

    Leaning TE, Questioning a Lot

    Thank you for the reply. I'm not sure I had guts. I honestly didn't know that it wasn't a normal train of thought. My husband loves to learn about the universe. We've had many conversations about how brilliant God is in its design. In my naivety I didn't realize that this was a bone of...

    Leaning TE, Questioning a Lot

    Thank you for sharing your start to understanding. Do you have any books or resources you recommend for learning about the history/early philosophy of science? You said you were a conservative TE. What exactly did you mean? I read your interpretation of creation best I could understand it...

    Leaning TE, Questioning a Lot

    Thank you, Progmunk. I appreciate your responses. I am going to have to sort out my views on all I've learned in relation to my understanding of the Bible through prayer and reading. I hope to also gain more knowledge on the differentiating scientific terms. I'm a work in process in all...

    Leaning TE, Questioning a Lot

    First post here. I am thankful to have found this forum and TE thread, in particular. Apologies for my novel...I'm searching. I have believed the Big Bang Theory to be the starting point of creation for a good while. Most recently I mentioned it in regard to creation in a small group at my...
