[Con X-Poser]

Not trying to talk you out of salvation, but if you don't believe the Bible, I don't know what kind of salvation you have:

John 5:46-47 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

However, I have no problem with your not putting the cart before the horse, BUT, those questions DO come up when witnessing to the lost, and when they do, they deserve to be scripturally answered, not ignored or covered up.

The Bible presents God as the Creator and Judge before it presents Him as Saviour. If He is not Creator and Judge, there is no need for a Saviour.

I believe losing that foundation is why fewer get saved today, and many that do make professions of faith, seem very shallow or false. They soon realize they are believing in a Jesus who supports all those things they were taught were myths - and if they did truly get saved, their growth wil be severely retarded until the accept the verse I posted above. And maybe, as we see happening in universities often, they will reject the faith that they professed.

A fully grounded one that thanks Christ for the rock it is built upon. The fact that I take a long view of Creation does not threaten that salvation, and as I have said, Christ will explain the intricacies of where I am wrong in the Hereafter, which thankfully is no way threatened by the fact that I view a Long Miracle through the parable of a Short One.

Praytell, Christ said that "I am the door". What kind of hinges does He have?
