Excellent reference! I didn't think of that one.

Cinches it for me. Got no higher authority I can go to.

I have been through all sorts of beliefs. For a while I did the Day - age thing.
As I studied Gods word obvious problems with that thought came up so I moved to the "Gap Theory" always trying to reconcile God word to "science". Continued study presented lots of problems with this belief also. I finally decided that God had written what he meant to write.
As I continue to study, I find it easier and easier to let Gods word tell me what it means instead of me studying it and adapting it to fit my beliefs.

Romans 3:
3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar;

1 Tim 2:
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Cordially,
