One of the other teachings is found in Leviticus, wherein it is laid out from whom you can buy slaves.So there's no proof that having a job skill and income before marriage is a good thing? This is one of the teachings of the church, found in the Proverbs.
Then that's what you should do. Just remember that literally billions of Christians feel otherwise about it and they are just as committed to the Scriptures as divine revelation as you are.There's no magic wand. Man cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. All scripture is "God-breathed." This word, "theopneustos," is found once in the entire Bible. "Every word" is the key. When it is taken to heart, the Bible becomes a finely-woven, seamless garment, like the one Christ wore to Calvary. The creation account is part of the garment, linked to the whole. God, if He is truly all-powerful, could have created the heavens and the earth as we see them today: Yesterday. Fossil record and all. Just as easily as He could have done it from the big bang billions of years ago. But He says He did it in six days. I believe Him. Because I have been blessed so much by taking the rest of the Bible literally, unless I find compelling evidence within Scripture to do otherwise. Devils do miracles, so I cannot trust in my senses, merely.
Because it has been stated categorically in this forum (and recently at that) that such Christians don't exist. They do exist, and in significant numbers, not just a few who have been led away from the truth of literal inerrancy by evil atheist evolutionists.And why is the number (billions) important?
LOL!Sorry. I didn't know that strength in numbers was a determining factor in truth. My mistake. In that case, you probably can rest easy, since it is the liberty of the minority that is generally in peril.

It's impossible to have a serous discussion about creationism.
When people believe God, what's to discuss ? (HIS WORD of course!) (and what HE DOES DAILY amongst us/ for us) They/we already please God by their/our faith, and trust Him and His Word, and reject anything contrary to His Word or divisive ....Lots of topics fall into that category.

Just can't silence anyone on this forum, except in certain areas designated.
Thus, instead of pure gentle wisdom in CHrist and peace, and edification ,
debate.
Very often the claim is made explicitly. It is the Big Lie of creationism, first perpetrated by Henry Morris, the father of modern creationism:
"The purpose of the Theory of Evolution is to deny the existence of God."
I'm not looking for an empirical explanation, I'm not looking to be convinced, I want to know why you are convinced. King's X. I may ask you questions, but there will be no condemnation. Right now it's just a puzzle to me, like talking to someone with a profound and unshakable belief in Santa Claus even though he never gets any presents.
There are serious conversations, until of course, creationists start getting the better of evolutionists… then some of the evolutionists ‘scramble’ everything to the point no one understands anything about the thread, and then fade away declaring a win.I thought we were having a serious conversation. It's all so confusing.

Being snide and willfully ignorant till someone gets sick of your bad-faith arguments isn't getting the better of someone.There are serious conversations, until of course, creationists start getting the better of evolutionists… then some of the evolutionists ‘scramble’ everything to the point no one understands anything about the thread, and then fade away declaring a win.
