All you have to do is open your eyes and look at God’s creation to see that the world is older than 6,000 years. This is what Christ is telling the people when he says to them they worship the tradition and not the father. Of the Old testament Christ only refers to the ten commandments as Law all else he either is dismissive of such as when he tells the Jews they are not the sons of Abraham or he preaches that the people need to stop open their eyes and see God rather than than the word.
Genesis is a parable or even allegory as is most of the old testament. As with the teachings of Christ they are stories that are easily understood by primitive people as morality stories. They are not meant to be literal.
Your salvation doesn’t depend on your belief in a 4 billion year old world merely on your belief in Christ however your belief in a 6,000 year old world does endanger the souls those who see the world more clearly than you because they see your belief as archaic and ignorant. I don’t blame them for that in the least.
Dismissive? Like when He red from Isiah? Careful.
Their souls are endangered because not everyone sees the world as they do? Perhaps you might want to rethink that whole seeing the world more clearly thing. If the intelligent can lose their souls because of the archaic and ignorant beliefs of others, I don't think they were so intelligent to being with.
Absolutely correct.
