He better be. Because if he's saying that if one accepts evolution one cannot be a Christian he's in violation of forum rules.

Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
So what are you saying? That it is impossible for a Christian to accept evolution?
When copying and pasting in someone else's work it is customary to give credit for it. In this case, to Dr. James Barr.
YECs Misquoting Hebrew Scholars on the Genesis InterpretationCreation took place in a series of six days which were the same as the days of 24 hours we now experience
- the figures contained in the Genesis genealogies provided by simple addition a chronology from the beginning of the world up to later stages in the biblical story
- Noah’s flood was understood to be world-wide and extinguish all human and animal life except for those in the ark. <<

And if one hasn't accepted CHRIST are they in violation of a Christian forum?He better be. Because if he's saying that if one accepts evolution one cannot be a Christian he's in violation of forum rules.
Depends on what they say, doesn't it?And if one hasn't accepted CHRIST are they in violation of a Christian forum?
Because I'm confused
I was told I was preaching
And why here on a Christian forum where all believe in CHRIST would one be offended when one speaks about CHRIST?
It doesn't matter because it's a typical dishonest Creationist quote mine.
YECs Misquoting Hebrew Scholars on the Genesis Interpretation
------------------
There is another portion of the letter that they “neglected” to quote where Barr clarifies his position:
The only thing I would say to qualify this is that most professors may avoid much involvement in that sort of argument and so may not say much explicitly about it one way or the other. But I think what I say would represent their position correctly. However, you might find one or two people who would take the contrary point of view and are competent in the languages, in Assyriology, and so on: it’s really not so much a matter of technical linguistic competence, as of appreciation of the sort of text that Genesis is.
Notice Barr says that the conclusion he drew upon was “not so much a matter of technical linguistic competence,” which by itself demolishes the argument that the YECs are making that their interpretation is demanded by the Hebrew text itself; not to mention he adds that most of the professors would tend to avoid this issue not saying anything on the topic on one side or the other.
LOLDepends on what they say, doesn't it?
Actually sir it leaves man with the one option to hold onto
FAITH
That GOD's got everything under control
Why should you have one
Why should you be defensive
Who can take anything away from you
Is your agenda a true agenda sir? Or is your agenda similar to @USincognito
LOL
It depends on what CHRIST says
And if one hasn't accepted CHRIST are they in violation of a Christian forum?
Because I'm confused
I was told I was preaching
And why here on a Christian forum where all believe in CHRIST would one be offended when one speaks about CHRIST?
In 20 years, nobody has ever been able to show me passages from the Bible to support evolution.
It doesn't matter what men sayIt doesn't matter because it's a typical dishonest Creationist quote mine.

Do you believe in THE LORD?What the heck are you rambling about? What does any of this have to do with what KWCrazy wrote and whether it's a violation of CF rules or not?
It doesn't matter what men say
Do you believe in THE LORD?
There was no need to write about what is not eternalI bet that applies to heliocentrism, germ theory of disease, plate tectonic theory, dynamo theory, atomic theory, the Chinese Imperial Court or how the internal combustion engine works.
It's almost as if the writers of the Bible didn't write about what they didn't know.
Genesis must be interpreted just as it is writtenMaybe you need to tell that to KWCrazy instead of me. He was the one who was citing (via a dishonest Creationist quote mine) as an authority on how Genesis "must" be interpreted. Not me.
No. Under forum rules, this board is open to non-Christians.However it s appears that the very fact that many here don't even believe in THE GOSPEL are here on a Christian forum
Isn't that a violation of forum rules?
Oops. My badNo. Under forum rules, this board is open to non-Christians.
