    The Potential Danger of Literalism

    On the contrary, Augustine believed either a six day creation or an instanteous creation to be true. Why? Because the Bible speaks of both. Obviously this wasn't clear the first time around, so lets try again: ---- Looking at Augustine's own words, taken from his Genesis commentary, we read...

    If there was proved to be wrong...

    What you call confidence, we call faith. You choose science to lead you in how you are suppose to read the scriptures, and I choose the church fathers. YOu like the new, I prefer the old. Too bad the Apostles didn't have the geologists then so they could it get right, all they had was Jesus...

    The whole seven days thing

    Something interesting to note, if you read about the Jewish people, you will find that is was extremely common to keep track of their complete geneologies.

    Head of National Human Genome Project is a Theistic Evolutionist -here's what he says

    Wow. And you are a Pastor? You say it is tongue and cheek and all, but this has to be the most sarcastic post I have ever read here. You really make yourself look as if the shephard idea is lost on you.

    If there was proved to be wrong...

    Many te-ist think yec-ist are dumb, unintelligent, or scientifically challenged. I wonder what they think of Isaac Newton, after all he believed in a six day creation. What about Charles Spurgeon, another six day creation believer. Interesting fact about Isaac Newton, other than gravity, he...

    If there was proved to be wrong...

    So the Big Bang theory, Abiogenesis, and the Evolutionary theory are all theories where modern day scientists are all giving God the credit? I was really unware that all these scientists were God believers. My statement wasn't intended as an insult. I believe everyone, including Christians...

    If there was proved to be wrong...

    Augustine said in his book 'The Literal meaning of Genesis:' Looking at Augustine's own words, taken from his Genesis commentary, we read, "In this narrative of creation Holy Scripture has said of the Creator that He completed His works in six days, and elsewhere, without contradicting this...

    If there was proved to be wrong...

    If those theories were not around, something would be created to replace them, because man enjoy's being rebellious against God. Even today in the Church itself, people will actively preach against doctrine giving away to myths. Some here have taught the church fathers read the Bible (Genesis)...

    What I don't understand . . .

    A contradiction was not made, but rather a fallacy on your part. Because I speak against you, who is claiming and teaching what is not essential in the Bible, does not mean I am preching what is essential. Do you feel you have been called by God to tell others what they can take as essential...

    YECs - please read.

    Here you are assuming it is the earth that creates, through God's power. You may or may not be correct. This though is not proof in the slightest for evolution because if you read Genesis 1:24-25 in context, there is no time gap for the creation of animals as indicated by scripture. Rather it...

    What I don't understand . . .

    So with te-ist having so many different beliefs, you believe I am talking to you when I talk to Vance? So then I can safely assume that whatever Vance believes you believe as well? I can safely lump you and Vance together as one when concerning beliefs? I was not aware that you and Vance...

    What I don't understand . . .

    Again, I have not stated, as you and herev have both claimed I have, what parts are essential for salvation. I have not claimed nor stated that one must understand as I to be saved. I have never said any such thing, and that is a gross misrepresentation of my points. Here again you appeal to...

    What I don't understand . . .

    Here in the first sentence you have concluded that the passages that I spoke of are non-essential matters. I am not very dogmatic on what you believe when it comes to evolution. I am rather dogmatic when it comes to proclaiming what is non-essential in the Bible. What is prideful is to...

    What I don't understand . . .

    It is obvious you think I am wrong and you are right. I too can conclude you think the same about yourself, that you are more guided then I. I repeatedly have said, I don't mind if you believe in evolution. But even this you would like to argue against because I speak against you teaching that...

    What I don't understand . . .

    Just correcting some misunderstandings, as I see them. Don't let the words on the screen get to you, unless they hit home... Perhaps it is I who have not made it clear to you, herev and others. I have used the quote system provided here to make it clear who I am responding to. The te-ist...
