No, I believe God and evolution are not mutually exclusive! They both can be reconciled in the same universe. Understanding evolution showed me what an intelligent creator God can be :)

But if you think otherwise, so be it. We come to this forum not because of our differences, but because of our likened faith in Christ. So peace :wave:

so when god creates the loaves and the fish in the basket as they are being handed out .. that's a miracle
but when he creates the heavens and the earth .. that has to evolve to fit your thinking .. ?he is not able to simply make it So .
and if he is able to make it so , why mingle his immeasurable ability with the limited reasoning of carnal intellect?

do you not view that as limiting God down to your comprehension ?

its not that at times i did not have the same thoughts ..but then i saw where those thoughts were headed..ie - if i could not believe God ..IS GOD . then how could i beleive anything else about him ?

as i asked before .. did he cause the loves and fish to "evolve in the basket to feed the 5000 ?
and if he did not ..then he is able to make something "be" from only his Will .

why not the earth also?
Indeed ,according to his word .. the earth and the seas and the heavens and All that is there in .

God bless you brother.

We have more in common in Christ than we differ on.

What does that have to do with our sections statement of faith which you have been walking all over?

Nothing in the statement of faith prohibits a Baptist from having a belief in theistic evolution.

It all boils down to the individual Baptist's interpretation of the bible. Just because you believe your interpretation to be superior doesn't mean it is.

Fun thing is you get brave behind a keyboard fact is you spoke that way to me in person i might forget my self and just lay you out.
<snip>
That is not Godly, and your also a hypocrite You say I am not showing love while you are hating on me. He who hates his brother is a murder and does not have eternal life in them..

Ummm...what? You threaten me with physical violence and then accuse me of hating on you?

The problem with evolution is that it requires step by step mutation for it to even work, but many systems in the animals of different kinds are vastly different and thus to say a fish that has half a fish lung system and half land breathing animal's lung system simply won't work, since they are highly complex and only work in their speicalised environment

Yeah it goes against are statement that the Bible is the word of God and is with out errors. As people have been suggesting the Bible has errors that is against are view here.

Threaten you no I saidI might forget my self. I don't see that as a direct threat.

Thing is you like to start trouble and Lead people in to sin so then you can point the figure and say look you sin.

Fact I have never once saw any post by you where you quoted the Bible or spoke about God. Do you even know the Bible?

All your comments you show up in a thread and insult people. Well I understand why you do this you are unhappy with your self and can not sleep unless you make some one feel as bad as you. You come on here to do it because you can get away with, but in life you can't take it out on any one, I suspect because you would get your butt kicked so you came on here and insult and incite people to sin. I posted a whole thread for you to address your issues with me but you would not show up. Instead you are trying to close this thread also like you have done in others for your flaming. What your doing is not of God. WHat you do to the least of my brother he does it to me, Jesus said that. So your doing it to Jesus to. Also if you offend your brother go and make amends before offering your sacrifice at the altar. You think you getting away with what your doing but you will answer for it. Then will see tall you stand, you going to stand tall before the Lord. Ha Ha^_^

back to the OP

why do christians hate the theory of evolution ..?

seems not all do .
but one reason is due to the dishonesty of evolution science .
and a greater reason is

We love the LOrd JESUS!

you know him? the one who is the way the TRUTH and the life .

if we beleive he IS the TRUTH .. then what ever does not agree with him ..is not TRUTH .

how can we love both ?
we cannot serve two masters .

So those Christians who believe in theistic evolution don't love Jesus?


Taken out of context.

here is your context /.. who do you ultimately believe in
without compromise ?

GOD whose ways are higher then our ways and whose thoughts are higher then our thoughts

or MAN .(carnal minded )

two masters ..if we are to use our minds let us do so from the context of the mind of CHRIST (the inspiration of the HOLY SPIRIT) our thinking and our reasoning as believers MUST begin in JESUS .MUST be founded upon this ROCK .
if we are not then we are susceptible to what ever wind blows in what ever direction.

Still doesn't prove or justify your reasoning that folks who believe in theistic evolution cannot serve God, love Christ, or that those who believe such serve two masters.

If that's addressed to me, you should realize that I don't believe that views on the origin of life matter to anyone's salvation.

It was not addressed to you in particular but you are welcome to answer. I also do not believe that views of origins are salvific. But its a fun mind exercise.

well i admit I did "indirectly imply" that a person who believes in theistic evolution is not believing in God -but i did not intend to lol .
however i am always more interested in the heart of the mater with each individual before God .
as i have said - I too went through a time of wondering if some things ..did not happen quickly ..but evolved over time ..
but then i came to the conclusion that those doubts were based on what ?
faith .. no
the bible .. no
so what were those thoughts founded on .. they were founded on the repeated pounding over the years of school and world of the theory of evolution being bashed across my mind ..
thus i concluded i must choose whom i believe in ,
because If i bring GOD down to my carnal reasoning in this topic .. i risk bringing him down in ANY topic .. and if i do not believe that God is GOD __ALMIGHTY_ then what point is there in believing in him at all ?
so i saw a path that was dangerous in its errors of faith .. and from that time on I chose to simply believe GOD and cast off mans reasoning even though i cannot comprehend HOW God created the heavens and the Earth .

because if we mingle the waters .. the waters are mingled ...

where is your heart at ?will you allow yourself to be given over to FAITH in GOD beyond your own intellectual reasoning. will you allow you heart to be indwelt by GOD so that we take o the mind of Christ as lord over our own minds .
this is far more important then theories about theories
