I'm not interested in your pontification about your faith in science, or your complete misconception of religious history foisted upon you by the secular world. I'm interested in how you have made the determination that you can believe parts of Scripture and ignore others.
So please go back and answer the questions I asked about which you believe and perhaps explain how you chose to believe those.
Because you see, if you don't believe in the divinity of Christ, you are not a Christian at all, and that is an important issue for others to see.
On these crevo threads, I have seen many people claim that they are Christians and that "God did it"........but when they really say what they believe, it becomes obvious that they are not followers of Jesus Christ at all.
I am not accusing you of that. I am just saying that you have said nothing thus far to indicate that you believe the Bible at all.
Which parts do you believe?
(Oh, and about that free speech thing........if you want Hannity to shut up about something that is very important to him, you are wishing to silence his free speech. And if you think Rush never talks about religion, you obviously don't listen much..........like say, his entire coverage of the Pope's death??)
You have no idea where I learned what.
My conceptions of "religious history" I got from Bible history classes at Oklahoma Baptist University and years of Sunday school in the Southern Baptist Church.
Where the miscommunication here is that I got that education, and I came to my conclusions of evolution over 40 years ago. That was before the creationist movement gained ground within the religious community. And later the ID movement, after creationism was shot down in flames.
I've not seen any significant change over my lifetime in what science understands. Some additional detail, but no fundimental change.
It is religious believers that have changed their minds about evolution, and returned to the controversies that they lost in the 1930's. It is religion (not God, but organized religion) that has been inconsistent over time. And inconsistent between denominations even today.
Because you see, if you don't believe in the divinity of Christ, you are not a Christian at all, and that is an important issue for others to see.
Well, I see you can stick with the subject of evolution and Genesis. What's Christ got to do with it? Yes, Christ talked about the creation. But neither He, nor Genesis itself has more than a few hundred words on the subject, that can be interpreted in many different ways. All that Genesis or Christ really says on the matter is that "God did it", with no significant details about HOW God did it. Why is this so difficult for you people to understand?
We disagree on that interpretation. Deal with it.
