A question about Fundamental Christianity

Van said:

Hi Spoonbill, yes I agree. In Job 38, God makes it clear we (mankind) were not present at creation, and therefore humility should result in offering our various views simply as possibilities rather than being dogmatic about origins. God did it, but the Bible does not provide sufficient information to establish a conclusion as to how God did it.

May God Bless

You think that the origin of the universe as described in the bible is "unimportant". Ok. I'd like to know what IS important then.

The thing is, believing the world is actually 6000 years old makes Christians look dumb. If it was universally accepted by Christians that the world (and universe) is actually as old as it has been scientifically proven to be, then I think Christianity would appeal to more people.

The origin of the universe as described in the Bible is--God made it. How He did it or how long it took is irrelevant and does not fall within the scope of Scriptural purpose given that it is a) irrelevant to the purpose of Scripture which is a delineation of God's Plan of Salvation and history of carrying that Plan to fruition; and b) we would never be able to understand the explanation anyway were it given.


Christianity has no need to "appeal to more people." Those who arrive at Christianity are led there by the Holy Spirit, not because they are impressed by doctrines, beliefs, or practices.

LOOKING DUMB TO THE WORLD IS A GOOD THING!--It shows that Christianity is indeed God's revealed Truth, "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. . . . God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things--and the things that are not--to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before Him." (I Corinthians 1:18;27-29)

A Christian's value system is different from that of those in darkness, thus a Christian would take your critique as a complement and a source of reassurance. Thank you!

The Creator made this universe within 6 days.my scripture has the proofs.and How He Created and why He had some creation like mountains,rivers,animals ..every single detail is in my scripture.I have no idea how people can reject truth because of arrogance.

if you are referring this verse "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. . . . God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things--and the things that are not--to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before Him." (I Corinthians 1:18;27-29)


to Christianity ,it doesn't sound like that.

which religion is seems to be weak?which religion is being discriminated?which religion is going through hard time even if a person wears veil she is called terrorist?

And which religion people think is foolish?

and now which religion has the power.

which weak religion is growing faster to shame which powerful religion?
