Why? Because it's in your imagination! We befriend atheists for the sake of removing the obstacle put in their paths by Christians who use their soapboxes to contravene the sum of human understanding in favor of their surface-level reading of Scripture.
Put forth your best Hebrew evidence that every word of Genesis was written as history, and even if it weren't untenable and ad hoc it wouldn't change the fact that Genesis is unhistorical. Why should that shock Christians who know how inscrutable and untame our God is? So many say, in effect, "Well, if I were God, I would not allow anything but pure, hard, scientifically verifiable facts to be passed from the men of faith of old to believers of today. Therefore, God didn't allow it, either." The fact is, either God isn't God and He didn't have anything to do with the Bible, or He wasn't concerned about scientific knowledge when greater spiritual truths were at stake and able to be expressed regardless of the verifiablility of the stories in which they were couched.
Shame on TE's for wanted to do what Jesus did! Don't you know that the tax collectors, prostitutes, and other riffraff were gleeful when Jesus spent most of His time with them and much of it lambasting the religious leaders who held them in such disdain! Especially since it was the religious whose error and arrogance was keeping people from taking up the faith.
If TEs befriended atheists for the sake of the Gospel and not for doing everything they can to berate, lie about, put down, make fun of, and personally attack YECs it would be great.
But, anyone can see what happens over there. Jesus isn't being preached. YECs are being put down, made fun of, lied about, and personally attacked. Because man created a forum for this to happen, we just say then it is the "right" thing to do.
Those YECs who do the same thing there are equally at fault, but since I see a majority of TEs there doing this, and stating it is a good thing to do, I have asked why.
Do you agree with Lady Kate that it is better to deny the deity of Jesus Christ then to accept a six day creation?
Do you agree with Lady Kate that it is better for the Church to teach that Jesus isn't the way to Salvation then to teach six day creation?
Forget the TE/YEC line. Is this what you think Christianity is better off teaching against Jesus' teachings than teaching a six day creation that is taught in the Bible?
Forget the us versus them. This us together, Christians, you and me, same side here. Are we to accept this theology that we are better off going against Jesus Christ than with a six day creation? Are we better off uplifting those who make personal attacks, whether TE or YEC?
I don't care if one is a TE/OEC/YEC/GAP/PC or whatever. When you start justifying your sins, you are going down a path to destruction. It is up to you if you wish to continue, or realize what
we are all doing.
Where did He state we are to make ourselves one with those who don't believe in order to attack those who do believe? Where did Jesus teach that we are to retaliate or attack anyone personally?
Justify it all you want, you know in your heart it is wrong. I was wrong to do it, every YEC who has done it was wrong. And every TE is wrong to do it as well. Either you see and repent of it, or you justify it and continue it.
Jesus called us to repent. Repent means to turn away. It isn't our "im sorry" He seeks, it is our act of following that He wants. I have had to take a hard look at myself for my actions on this forum and I am asking why you or anyone else thinks it is a good think to justify what takes place on the open forums by TEs there?
Only Gluadys has said it was wrong. Every other TE here has either justified it or remained silent.
so whoever Critias is talking about it sure isn't me.
