    Genesis 1-3

    With all due respect, hold on Pastor. You guys keep eisogeting the YOM to reconcile Scripture with pagan naturalistic philosophy. We should be exegeting scripture according to proper hermeneutics. The context is clear that they are 24 hour periods. Consider this: In my father's day, he would go...

    Paul Washer on Rom. 10:9-10

    Well said KatAutumn and Vince53. I love Paul Washer and have listened to most of his recorded sermons. I used his book "The One True God" as a SS lesson on the attributes of God this year. I have purchased "The Truth About Man" for next year. I used to have a small group of men over last year...

    Age of the earth/dates of creation arguments do not really matter to our salvation

    How much more clear does "In six days..." need to be to be understandable? Science tells us dead men don't rise from the grave. Do we have license to allegorize the resurrection of our risen Lord too? What all should we throw out of the Bible or reinterpret according to the authority of "Science"?

    Scripture doesn't support a Big-Bang or cosmological evolution...Scripture supports 6-day creation.

If a man and a woman decide to become married, they solemnly promise to do certain things and not to do certain things, and this results in each party holding up their end of the agreement. If a man leaves his wife or abuses her in...

    Seperation of church and state.

    This has nothing to do with Church govt. versus Civil govt. or keeping religion out of politics. It's about authority. Mankind is not autonomous (secular government), he is theonomous (under the law of God). This goes for civil AND ecclesiastical authorities. It's a case of Man says vs. God...

    I've been struck by skepticism

    Reliability of the senses and a knowable environment are presuppositions of a Christian world view that enable empirical investigation. Within a materialistic construct even your personality is an illusion, how much more so anything external.

    Infinite beings and time travel.

    Well said. I would add that God the Father, as a personal/infinite God exists both inside and outside the created matter/energy-time/space order. Time is an aspect of creation. The Creator God, setting aside His infiniteness as it may relate to a linear vs. planar time perspective, is not...

    Should pastors get paid?

    If your church is big enough, as has been said, you will need a full time pastor or even pastors. Besides, money isn't evil, nor is making money evil. Loving money "is" evil however. Trust me, no one becomes a REAL pastor for the money. I'd be far more concerned about a congregation who feels...
