There is no reading of Genesis that even hints at evolution. If you're warping the Bible to fit the conclusions of scientists, you're making a massive mistake. Science does not have priority over God's word. They're not equals. I'm so tired of watching Christians compromise on this. Stop perverting the word. Grow some backbone and stand up for what you know is right. This weakness is why liberalism is infecting so many churches as of late. We're not supposed to conform with the world.

Hey had this as a question, obviously the Bible condemns withcraft and necromancy etc, but that is because it is of the devil correct? So depending on the novel if it is just a natural part of the fictional world or has a good or neutral source it should be fine right? Fantasy is one of my favorite genres in media is why I ask. Just wondering if I have to give it up or not.

Was thrilled to hear Trump won. Very happy lol.

Well when the opposing party is made up of baby killing hedonists that hate Christians pretty easy to root for Trump. Voted for him earlier this week.

It baffles me how someone can struggle so hard with the concept of something being formless. So much so that they invent a wild theory to boot lol. Imo mature state is really the only conclusion you can reach if science's evidence isn't cooked or outright lies. So personally I think that the "mature universe" theory makes the most sense. I don't buy some of the nonsense I've seen about "days"meaning whatever people want it to mean to match up with science either.

Same canned responses as always. You repeat yourself often. Anywho there's no point in this. Like I said you're either a delusional or a troll. I'll bow out. Peace!

None of the other things such as DNA, techtonics, or other findings you listed contradict the Bible. Evolution does and you're either delusional, trolling, or just hopelessly lost on this topic to think that the two can walk hand in hand. There is no honest reading of Genesis that is compatible with evolution. Genesis says God created Man and Woman. Not apes that slowly became human over countless years. 6 days was the creation period and the ten commandmants cement that they were LITERAL days.

Again all of this is for nothing. Anyone reading Genesis would never in a million years somehow come up with the idea of evolution. Barbarian either believes God or man and he has clearly chosen man. Just ignore the guy at this point I just see him as a troll. Genesis is very direct and written in plain language. There's no mystery about it. People WANT to make it more complicated than it is so it can fit with the secular understanding.

See this is what I mean. You say Jesus didn't speak out against homosexuality like it means anything. Jesus didn't mention masturbation either but from what we know about the Bible it is still clearly wrong. "For some reason" it's these sly little comments you make that betray your true beliefs. You're an apostate.

Obviously meant practicing homosexuals dude. They exist, there are in fact gay affirming churches which support it. You're an apostate liberal stereotype who has no business being on a christian website. When all of your arguments are the same as an atheists you're clearly in denial about what you believe when you claim to be a christian.

The Barbarian just spews trash and his claims are ridiculous on their faces. The idea that a Christian reading Genesis would somehow come to the conclusion of evolution is a joke. There is no honest reading of Genesis that leads to evolution simple as that. Being a non creationist Christian is like being a gay Christian. It's an oxymoron.

I agree he is a bad man, but as you said the left's agenda is far scarier than he is. So he's got my reluctant vote as well.

If you take psych meds like I do, as others have mentioned they take time to kick in. Like at least a month of no days missed before you feel their benefits. I'll pray for you.

Meh it is what it is. I have never been a massive Trump fan even though I am on the right, but compared to what Dems are pushing with all this trans stuff aimed at kids, gay pride, and abortion he is easily preferable to Biden. I think anyone with common sense and a pair of eyes can see he's had the full force of the opposition against him, I'll vote for him even if he's in a jail cell. Though honestly I don't know what will happen if he does get jail time this has literally never happened before.

Well one side promotes mutilating children (trans agenda) and killing babies in the womb, as well as pushes the LGBTQ+ agenda. Pretty easy to vote for Trump that considered, which is what I will do.

Thank both of you for your input. I feel better now lol.

Was re-reading Matthew on my phone not sure how to post and quote it properly. Always was a bit confused about this verse. It is the "some of you will not taste death until my kingdom comes" line, paraphrasing of course. How can we explain this? I have read arguments He means the transfiguration. I'm not sure if that makes sense. Maybe the kingdom He refers to the Church? It really bothers me that such a seemingly obvious contradiction exists. Please explain. There's other claims Jesus made with similar wording iirc, all of which seemed to indicate His return would be within the lifetime of His apostles.

And to point out the obvious the book is named GENESIS. Why start with the recreation of some mysterious pre existing world at the beginning of your story? lol It makes about as much sense as God using "days" to mean "any number of years that mosts align with modern day science on the age of the earth" I guess (not that free grace has made that argument, just that I have seen that argument by those who push old earth before).

So answer to my 7 days question. Keep on dodging if you like dude lol.

Not sure who AiG is but if they're promoting the actual origins of man to be primordial goo or us descending from apes then yes, they are lying. And again why would an all powerful God not realize what the implications of what the word "day" means? I don't care what other orginizations say, if it contradicts scripture it is a lie. We have the same text. I don't need to be a scientist or a popular Christian orginization to understand the clear and direct language found in Genesis. So answer my question please.

Thing is Genesis reads like a history book and uses simple and clear language. It also lists exact ages of death and family lines etc. Not a lot of room for debate. And again, what does 7 days tell us if it is not a literal 7 days? You're telling me God couldn't just had said 7 ages? Why pick a period of time that the world would understand to be 7 24 hour periods yet actually mean ANY number of years? It's ridiculous. Evolution is not compatible with the Bible. There's now way one could read Genesis and arrive at evolution being the origin of man.The term "evolution believing Christian" is oxymoron. You'd either have to be lost to believe it, or deliberately spreading its lie.

Not giving me hope lol. I haven't even attempted a relationship in 7 years. Sent my best friend on a scouting mission for me recently though. He's known me since elementary school. I'm 33 now and need to actually get on the ball pronto.

See my above post meant to quote you.

I was reading Genesis this very day. So our Lord, gives painstaking family lines, exact years, in simple, clear, direct language with little room for any other interpretation throughout Genesis. But on the 7 day creation He chooses to use a commonly accepted period of time, and ACTUALLY mean it to be an indeterminate number of years over any stretch of eras, ages etc. He might as well have told us nothing at all! Barbarian all the scientific speculation and evidence in the world is completely irrelevant to a professing Christian. Your authority is God and His word. Give me a scriptural argument or drop the charade and stop sowing doubt into this community. You could be an Einstein in your scientific field and it would mean less than nothing to me.

I gotta be blunt, the amount of cognitive dissonance and delusional thinking one has to have to think the creation account of Genesis is in ANY way compatible with evolution is astonishing. There's nothing vague or mysterious about how Genesis reads. It's clear as day and you're lying to yourself or intentionally making it unclear to say otherwise. Plus the idea that the original people would have been come up with the idea of evolution from the Genesis account is laughable. It's painfully obvious that one who is a supposed Christian and fully buys into evolution and spreads its lie is prioritizing modern scientific conclusions above the word of God and warping it beyond recognition. It's hard to tolerate. You can't serve two masters. Be honest with yourself and pick one. Is it man's account you trust or God's?
