Why is this in "Faith vs Science"?

May. . .be because its an issue that has to do with faith and science?

Lurker

Well, it does include the word "science" a few times, it's true, but it seems more a topic on doctrine - and it could be an interesting one at that.

But if it's really about faith and science, which aspects of the science content do you think HalP was trying to bring to readers' attention?

Nothing, his sole intent is to try and sow discord, and he is unable to argue something like this in a coherent manner

My belief is that since God Almighty is 'perfection' His Word inspired by the Holy Spirit (also perfection) can be nothing but inerrant. The fact that men wrote what the Holy Spirit directed, in the language that they spoke at the time using terms and concepts that they understood does not nullify the inerrancy of the Bible. Certainly translations have come along and have attempted to rewrite the Bible in the vernacular of the day but the basic truth behind the Word has not changed - the words and wording - yes otherwise we would be lost and have not hope of eternity. The fact that what is in the OT is corroborated in the NT and vice versa only proves that the Bible is Truth itself - a full and clear view of the Trinity, the past, present and guide to the future if one is but willing to be open to its truth.

Attacking the veracity of the Bible again, Lurker? Gosh, how uncharacteristic of you! :emot-hug:

Probably the aspects that contradict certain interpretations of scripture. For instance, some people read Genesis and say that because scripture is "perfect" we are bound to a belief in a 6,000 year old earth. Others look at that same text and note that a face value interpretation of this book is probably not the best one given how the story was originally written and how it has been historically transmitted to the present.

Inerrancy would only apply if the Bible claimed the earth was 6,000 years old. Inerrancy does not apply to assumptions made by certain readers.

The only real claim that Bible makes is that God created the earth and all that is in it. Furthermore, it reveals a pattern of creation that precludes evolution if one takes God at His word.

So. . .saying the earth is not 6,000 years old is attacking the veracity of the Bible? I'm just trying to get a handle on (spoiler alert) how consistently you apply these accusations.

Lurker

Attacking the stated genealogies in the Bible that point to a young age of the earth is indeed attacking the veracity of the Bible. And you use the word "accusations" as if what we point out what you have said isn't true.

And you have stated you don't believe:

In a literal Adam and Eve

A less than 4.5 billion year old earth

The Flood of Noah

The Creation account in Genesis

Anything untrue in those "accusations?" :emot-hug:

Oh, and just for the record.

Do you believe these accounts are true?

1. Jonah and the great fish

2. The 10 plagues of Egypt and The Exodus

3. Moses parting the sea

4. Jesus rising bodily from the tomb

5. The fall of Lucifer and a literal Satan

A simple "yes" or "no" after each will be fine.

What else CAN he accuse you of, Lurker? You ARE attacking the inerrancy of the Bible. :thumbsup:

So. . .if someone were to say something like, oh I don't know, "I believe the earth, in a primeval state, was here 4.5 billion years ago." they would be attacking the veracity of the Bible? Any comments Morning Glory?

You KNOW I always have a comment, Lurker. Saying that the earth itself is 4.5 bllion years old is not contrary to Genesis. You will not be able to create discord that way.

Genesis 1:

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

All we know from this passage is that God created the heavens and the earth. It gives no date when He did so. He is not constrained by space and time as we are.....remember? I believe He created and then decided to do other things later. He IS God, after all. He can do anything He wishes to do. :thumbsup:

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
