That is blasphemy. Evolution says that God did not make men on day 6. That means men were not created, but evolved. That means men were not created sinless and then sin after. That means the promise of a redeemer is false, and that means Jesus Christ died for nothing.

God revealed Himself as the Bible says, not as men think.

Nonsense, Race. Your reply is full of non-sequiturs.

But, I'm not going to argue with you. We'll never agree.

God Bless.

That is exactly the problem I'm having with all the new thinking and interpretations.

Jesus seemed to believe and teach that most of the events of the old testament were literally true.

I don't have a particular hangup about the length of days. Like someone, maybe you said, before the sun was created, a day could be much longer.

Did Jesus believe that those were just stories in the old testament and use them for reference? I don't think so.

So if the old testament isn't literally true concerning the basics, then it would seem to me that Christianity was built on the foundation of a false religion. Or fulfilled on the basis of a false religion.

Catholics didn't used to believe that way in times past I don't think. If you want it both ways and it works for you, fine (not you, RaceBannon, but the modernists on the forum). It doesn't work for me. Having been reading Christian bashing for so long, I've come to question a lot of what was of God (if anything in the ot) and what was of man.

I never imagined it would come to this in my Christian walk.
