Jesus quotes Genesis as if it were literal historical fact. Adam and Eve were created in the beginning and not billions of years later.
Two questions, Assyrian:
1. Did the angels come on the scene fully-evolved?
2. Is there such a thing as abiogenesis?
So God created life ex nihilo?[/indent]You have asked that before and were shown how completely irrelevant it is. Angels are neither biological life forms nor do they reproduce. What have they to do with evolution? Is there any suggestion in the bible God made angels the same way he made animals and humans? For example, do you think angels were made of clay? If not, what ever does God's creation of angels have to do with how he made biological life?
Let's put Adam aside for a moment and go back even further, clear back to where there was nothing but God, Himself.But this is getting tedious AV, you have brought up the idea of life being created ex nihilo before, you were shown what ex nihilo means and you were shown they it simply doesn't apply to God creating life even if you take Genesis completely literally.
I really don't know what "quotes Genesis as if it were literal historical fact" means.
What would he say differently if he were simply quoting Genesis?
How would "quoting Genesis" be distinguished from "quoting Genesis as if it were literal historical fact"?
The latter sounds like some sort of mind-reading and across two millennia at that.
"But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female." Mark 10:6 nasb
Jesus quotes Genesis as if it were literal historical fact. Adam and Eve were created in the beginning and not billions of years later.
Tell me this - was the "beginning of creation" the first day or the sixth?
How does citing the Genesis creation account make it historical?The writers of the New Testament also taught that the Genesis creation was literal.
Yes. Your question supposes that evolutionary creationists are the only ones who don't read Genesis as an entirely literal, historical account. We aren't. NO Christian reads Genesis as an entirely literal, historical account. So your question should be directed, not at evolutionary creationists specifically, but at Christians as a whole (including yourself!).
Where do you draw the line between scientific concordism and accommodationism in Genesis, ToxicReboMan? Many evolutionary creationists I know would argue that Genesis 1-11 should be understood in the context of an accommodationist framework, with history phased in throughout.
Is the 'blood of Zechariah' a historical reality? In other words, was there a High Priest/Prophet named Zechariah who was slain just as Jesus had described in Luke 11:51?
How do you think Jesus interpreted Genesis 3:15?Jesus did: "But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. " Mark 10:6NO Christian reads Genesis as an entirely literal, historical account.
Where did Jesus hint anywhere that Genesis was to be take in any other sense than the literal/historical one? He made it clear that Adam, Eve, Cain & Abel, and Noah were real people and that the creation and flood were to be understood in the most literal sense and never hinted otherwise.
"But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female."
Mark 10:6
"...from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar." Matthew 23:35.
"They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all." Luke 17:27.
It is the Word of God we should believe and not shallow theistic evolutionist opinions to the contrary.
No wonder Jesus was sweating blood in the Garden of Gethsemane.How do you think Jesus interpreted Genesis 3:15?
Gen 3:15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.
It's funny you should call the accommodationist hermeneutic "shallow" while insisting on a superficial understanding of the text.It is the Word of God we should believe and not shallow theistic evolutionist opinions to the contrary.
