I think that there was a lot more to it than the lords supper...
No, that was the major dividing point. You need to study your history.
Actually, that's precisely what you said.."yet the majority of Christians accept evolution as being true".
This was implied to have some sort of bearing or weight on your point.
You aren’t getting my point. You said that the age of the earth had major implications on believers. Yet a majority of believers accept evolution, so where are these implications?
y post was implying that no matter how many believers hold a certain position, has nothing to do with the actual facts...
Also, in conjunction with this, most believers are happy to sit in a pew, sing a few hymns, hear the prayer request, sleep through a message and go home to a football game.
Most believers just sit and believe what they are told.. They don't want controversy... they don't want to argue because their knowledge is simply.. God is God, Jesus is His son, Jesus died for our sins... pass the potato salad.
The other stuff... well they have been told, in school that it is fact... then they are told that Genesis is allegory in order to make it all fit in a nice little package.. The school is happy, the believers are happy... all is "good".
Again, sorry if that is your experience. I don’t attend a pass the potato salad kind of church.
You still have not explained this double standard. I am apparently to literally accept Genesis but you can ignore the plain meaning of the words of Jesus.
Of course nothing wrong with telling believers that Genesis is allegory because it is. You are, of course, entitled to your own interpretation.
