"Well you may consider the creation about vain babbling, however, I see very few creationists actually willing to accept what is instructed in Genesis. Guess one could say, unless and until what is said about the Who, What, Where, When and the Why given in Genesis, one would not know whom their loved is directed toward."

People get saved because they find out they are sinners and that Christ died to forgive them.

Creationism is an important element of Christianity, but is vain babbling if it really does nothing but lead to argument within the body of Christ.

We have fish to catch, and the devil uses every opportunity he can to keep us from the mission field. This is simply one of them.

With a pure heart, many Christians differ on creation (namely, the length of the days). Some just believe what others tell them, others search it out.

In the end, all that matters is that Jesus came to right our wrongs.

The main thing is to let the main thing (Jesus) be the main thing.

Many in the church spend a lifetime studying creation, but forget to tell the world that Jesus is the "Beginning and the End" and "The First and the Last" because He was the Creator.

Without boring people with details, we need to point out John 1 to people and let the Holy Spirit do His job. I think of John 1 as the "Extended Genesis". Don't consider it odd that the Book of John begins with "In the Beginning", which is where the Biblical name Genesis is derived.

It is not one bit odd that John starts out with In the Beginning, rather it is instructive to understand exactly what is given in Genesis to fully understand the rest of the book John penned.

Christ said Let no man deceive you, well if one takes careful study about who all the "man" encompasses planted throughout the Word and one cannot ignore that is speaks to a spiritual man as well as flesh physical man.

Christ also said there would be wars and rumors of wars .... FEAR YE NOT, well if one is not to be fearful regarding wars then does not common sense say the opposite of WAR, Peace, Peace, Peace, is the subject??? Christ is said to be coming back with a double edge sword for a harvest, not hardly a description of Peace Peace Peace.

We are told to prepare for a spiritual war, not one of flesh and blood, yet the instruction is given to flesh man.

We are even told to love less (yes I know some man decided to use the word "hate" here) our own flesh and blood. That is a plenty powerful message when one bases a religion on love.

No where in the whole of the Bible when the flesh man was following the instruction given does the Heavenly Father ever allow a replacement theory for what He HIMSELF declared He did or wanted done. That in and of itself should cause the creationists community to consider what it is about Genesis they are WRONG about.
