“I’ve never seen a conflict between science and my faith”
There is no need for one.
Christian Scientist notwithstanding, there are no creationists in the Emergency Room!
I guess we need to check with the Czardinal of What-the-pope-really-meant-to say about the magic of the Virgin Birth?
Worst Pope ever.
Ah... biblical and theological heresy concerning the very person of God, isn't it wonderful? NOT! And to think this mere man is leading countless millions who are blindly following him straight to hell.
This statement, coupled with his "unholiness's" totally unbiblical stance on sodomy and Sodomites (he read and gave his hearty approval in spite of the fact that it failed to pass) ranks him right up there with the prophets of Baal: The (spiritually) blind leading the (spiritually) blind results in all of them falling into the pit; what a tragedy.
Yet, in spite of all the false doctrine and false teaching coming out of his mouth there will still be deceived people here on FR blindly defending "pope" Francis. The man is a theological disgrace and whatever so-called "god" he worships and serves that "god" is certainly not the true and living God of the Bible, the God who clearly testifies to creation and not evolution:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. ALL THINGS CAME INTO BEING THROUGH HIM, AND APART FROM HIM NOTHING CAME INTO BEING THAT HAS COME INTO BEING. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. (John 1:1-5, Emphasis added)
By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen WAS NOT made out of things which are visible. (Hebrews 11:3, Emphasis added)
And He (the Lord Jesus Christ) answered and said, “Have you not read that He who CREATED THEM FROM THE BEGINNING MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE. (Matthew 19:4, Emphasis added)
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is ANYTHING TOO DIFFICULT FOR ME?” (Jeremiah 32:27, Emphasis added)
And He (the Lord Jesus Christ) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For BY HIM ALL THINGS WERE CREATED, BOTH IN THE HEAVENS AND ON EARTH, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, —ALL THINGS HAVE BEEN CREATED THROUGH HIM AND FOR HIM. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. (Colossians 1:15-17, Emphasis added)
At least 50 times God the Father is called the “Almighty” in both the Old and New Testaments!
There is nothing in the account in Genesis or within any of the scriptures or the passages cited above that lend any credence at all to the humanistic or “theistic” view of “evolution”. Just the opposite is clearly stated: Almighty God CREATED everything that exists out of nothing. He spoke it all into existence by the power of His word. It’s a shame that the so-called “pope” of the Roman Catholic church has such a pathetic and distorted view of God.
Contrary to your Satanic delusions (“When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a MAGICIAN, WHITH A MAGIC WAND ABLE TO DO EVERYTHING. BUT THAT IS NOT SO,” Francis said.); “pope” Francis, those who genuinely know and worship the Lord Jesus Christ serve the true and living God; the ALMIGHTY God! The God of the Bible who is all-powerful and quite capable of doing exactly what the Word of God clearly teaches concerning HIS ACCOUNT OF CREATION!
Biblical Christianity does not worship and serve “a magician with a magic wand” (a fantasy that stems from your feeble mind and utter lack of faith in God or what His Holy, infallible Word has to say about the matter), but the Almighty creator of everything.
I know God Created the universe but don`t know how he did it, the big bang theory or?
And I do not believe any one with a brain half the size of a pea would even claim to know.
We can have our opinions if God created the earth in six literal days or not but the idiots telling us all about the big bang is just hogwash.
I gotta work 6 eons before I get a weekend?
Bummer!
</hr>
Gives you a whole new concept of Hump Day, huh? :-). Or how about a never ending Monday? Like I said, plenty of other things to think about that should take up our precious time. Splitting religious hairs is for bored people.
I don’t believe in the literal six days of creation. But it’s not because I don’t think God is up to the task.
But like you I believe God is divine and nothing would be impossible for him.
I’ve never seen a conflict between science and my faith.
The Pope has totally lost it, thank goodness I found Christ over the radio and left the Catholic Church 30 years ago once I heard the truth ...
Or maybe you have drunk the koolaid of the media as this is not ehat the pope said. He repeated what popes have said for a century. The only thing he said new was thay Benedict was a really smart pope that we will be reading and learning from for many many years....sounds like he is a liberal church changing pope??? He is the same as the last three! Watch and calm down....sorry to come down so hard. Trust in the Church.
