Things That Are Ruining Church Youngsters, Part 3

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."--Genesis 1:1

I struggled with the order I should post this topic. I thought maybe I should post it first, because it is the grandfather of the other two forms of foolishness mentioned.

However, I decided I would save it until now so that we could start with the issues of today and work back to the issues which they EVOLVED from. Get the picture?

Ah, yes, we've come to the brilliance of the theory of evolution.

Evolution: The Atheist's Greatest Weapon against Christianity.

Too bad nobody ever told them it's got a big self-destruct button.

The theory of evolution stands in stark contrast to the theory of origins stated in the Bible: Creation.

It stands at odds, claiming that we've all "evolved" from one single cell organism which crawled from a slime pit millions of years ago. Or was it 100,000 years ago? Eh, I don't know, check back with me next week, it'll have changed by then.

Anyways, this theory is completely opposite of the theory of Creation.

The theory of creation states what Genesis 1:1 says above: that God created the world and everything in it.

This, however, is apparently unintelligent. The reason has yet to be determined any more than "because it involves the supernatural".

Nevermind the fact that some of the leading evolutionists believe that life was started here when aliens brought single celled organisms their backs. Boy, they will do anything they can to avoid admitting the obvious.

Yet, despite its foolishness, many in churches, and even many churches, try to squeeze the theory of evolution into the Biblical account of evolution.

This is completely impossible, however, because the Hebrew terms for "day" as in "on the first day," mean a literal, 24 hour day.

No smooshing allowed!

So, we come back to the matter of truth.

Is Genesis true, or is evolution true.

If one claims to be a Christian, they should believe that the Genesis account is the truth.

Remember, Jesus said in John 17:17, "Thy word is truth."

So, God's Word is truth. Whatever God says is the truth. God defines truth.

And God said that He created the world in 6, literal, 24 hour periods.

Take it or leave it.
