1 | Genesis,chapters1-4:True accounts or not | Genesis | wak | 35685 | ||
I never picked up on that specifically. That's a good insight. The overall flow of Genesis I think is the best indication that Genesis may be sound blow-by-blow history. Again, I don't think God HAD to limit himself to historic precision. Perhaps creation took only seven seconds rather than 7 days or 700 billion years. I don't know. (and I don't its that important in the end) My point is not to start the 1001st argument about fossils and young earth but to say that God did not have to limit himself to literal historical truth in Genesis 1-4 to communicate his Truths and therefore the Bible is still reliable* if Genesis is not a precise literal history lesson. Is my postulate wrong? Thanks *I think that's very important in the end |

Greetings Wak! Is your postulate wrong? If you don't have a specific position or evidence, no, your not wrong! :-) I misunderstood you my friend! I thought you were arguing for a specific purpose. Concerning the issue of 'reliablility', I would just repeat what I've said in other posts. If there was no Adam, when Scripture says that there was, then that would unreliable. Scripture makes clear throught, not just in Genesis, that Adam and Eve existed, that they were created by God, and that they fell. Their fall brought sin and its consequences upon all of us and resulted in the necessity of Christ's death. Other than that, their is no real significance to whether or not Gen. 1-4 is historical or not! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Additionally, Tim, other than the fact that the blood of Jesus Christ shed on the cross is our only hope for escaping a devil's hell, there is no real reason to attach much significance to the gospel! --Hank | ||||||
