2 | creation | Gen 2:2 | RickCarpenter | 220914 | ||
I take the account of creation in Genesis as a picture of our faith development, not as literal history. The example I use to illustrate this in my Bible study classes is this: "Describe to me your child's first three years of life." I'd be willing to bet you didn't mention MANY details. I'll bet you didn't mention she ate food. I'll bet you didn't mention he grew to a height of xx inches. Do you see where this is leading? While your story is true, and it's what you wanted me to hear, it more than likely wasn't a heartbeat-by-heartbeat account of three years cell growth, intellect growth, spiritual growth. It's a picture of that three years done in probably 10-15 minutes. The creation account, I believe, is what God wanted us to know when we asked Him "How did I get here and why?" |

Hello Rick, Well, I'm a little confused by your comments. Maybe you can clarify to make sure I heard what you intended? You said, "I take the account of creation in Genesis as a picture of our faith development, not as literal history" The Genesis account is either literal in the truth it presents or it's not! Where do we get the idea that Genesis is only "a picture of our faith"? Regardless if all details were not included (and no doubt they're not) the account must be accurate in what it says if scripture is truly the Word of God, inerrant, and inspired! Do you say it's not? I'm confused... You said, "Do you see where this is leading?" No disrespect intended, but apparently not. What exactly are you trying to say? Apparently, I'm not understanding what you're trying to convey. May you be so kind as to expand on your reasoning so as to clear up my confusion. I'm sure others on the SBF may have similar sentiments... The Creation account tells us first and foremost about God, "In the beginning God ..." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
