Welcome to the Forum ............................. Dear Steve, I would like to interupt this discussion to let you know that I am glad that you have recently been sharing your ideas with this forum. I have been reading the posts on this topic, and you have caught a lot of heat so far. I would like to encourage you if I could. Although the majority of active members of this forum disagree with your interpretation of the Genesis creation; they will probably agree with you on most other beliefs that you hold. I mention this because I would hate for you to get the mistaken idea that you would never find common ground here and decide to leave. Dear everybody else involved in this thread, The original question of this thread was whether a person could be a Christian and believe in evolution? I personally believe in a literal interpretation of the Genesis creation. However, I can also see that it is possible for a person to disagree with me and still be a part of the family of God. I think that is really the point Steve is trying to make. In fact, I would point to Steve as being a good example. From the posts that he has made thus far, he appears to be a Christian. He recognizes his own sinfulness and need for God, and he accepts Jesus Christ as his Savior and Lord. At the same time he believes in evolution. Therefore, the answer to the original question is yes. Practically this entire thread since Steve responded has actually been on a related but different question. Can a person deny the literalness of the Genesis creation and yet maintain the literalness of other parts of the Bible (ie. the resurrection)? This is a very good question and should be a seperate thread. I have some ideas on that as well. However, it is not the point of this thread. |

Hello and thank you. Believe me, this is a discussion I have had in person with many beloved brothers and sisters who still manage to put up with me. I always learn something new; I hope I have brought something new to the discussion myself. I have certainly been treated with courtesy and nobody has really questioned my faith. And of course, you're right; the simple answer to the original question is just "Yes". It does seem to cry out for further explanation though. Peace and grace, Steve |
