I happen to believe in Theistic Evolution

So you disagree with the Bible and especially Paul when he wrote to the Romans,

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned-- Romans 5:12 NKJV

Now to understand sin you need to understand that anything that falls short of the perfection of God is sin.

So with that, in order for you to believe in theistic evolution you must agree that sin did not enter the world when Adam sinned, but before. After all, for evolution of any kind to take place you need death, destruction, and decay.

So if all that entered into the world before Adam sinned, then why did we need God to assume a mans body to die on the cross for our sins? And also then, Paul did not know what he was talking about when he wrote the above statement to the Roman believers. Right?

See all this is academic if you do not believe the basic reason for the need of Christ shedding his blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin. But then again if we were not sold into slavery of sin by Adams fall, then why argue the silly points of the what the Hebrew word for day meant.

Think real hard about what you say, for this is not a simple matter of disagreement of a word. This is the basics of Christianity.With out Adam sinning there would have been no death and no decay and no destruction. If no death then how does evolution take place?

This is an easy argument for a non believer, but for a believer you need to eliminate the need for Christ. Non believers already do not believe they need Christ so they can come up with as many ideas as they want to justify their belief in evolution. But you being a believer can not.

I say this as a man of the word, you need to rectify this with God, not me or other men. Ultimately it does come down to faith. What is faith? Lets see what the writer of the letter to the Hebrews say about faith.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.(Hebrews 11:1-3 NKJV)

Another words we cannot take the things we see, skeletal remains, rocks, and other archeological materials to make sense of what God has made. Ultimately we need faith.

Natural Law? Do you have faith in God? Do you have faith that He became man and died upon the cross for your sins? Do have faith that your God is a big God who can do anything? Even create new laws that seem unnatural to men? Laws that enable Him to create the heavens and the earth and all that dwell upon it in six days? Yes, I am asking you, Natural Law. How strong is your faith in God?

Is it strong enough to go against what this world wants you to believe? Men better then you and I had that kind of faith. Their faith moved kingdoms and even brought the dead back to life when all human science says it is impossible. Their faith turned the Roman Empire into a Christian empire in less then 300 years.

You don't have to agree with me because I have a may or may not have a better argument then others on the meaning of certain Hebrew words and contexts of those words. You only need to believe because your faith is stronger then that of men's science.
