1 | creation | Gen 2:2 | keliy | 220930 | ||
Hi Rick, It is my conviction that if we are not able to accept the first 3 chapters of Genesis as God's account of history, then we must throw out the entire Bible. Where does it end? who are we to decide where God is fact and where He is fiction? To read Genesis as a "Picture" leaves the whole account wide open to interpretation. What follows then, is that we have as many interpretations as we have viewers of this 'picture'. This actually does nothing towards addressing the poster's question. -That is, if we all just used our imagination to answer questions, what is to stop anyone else from doing the same? I certainly do not want to appear as if the SBF is ganging up against you, but in genuine concern, it troubles me that people can pit their own limited knowledge against God's infinite wisdom. So. are you a conservative? humanist? or post-modernist? Please fill us in. It helps us to know how to answer. Lord bless you and yours. Note to JacobP: It is my firm understanding that The seven days of the creation account were literally seven, twenty-four hour periods. |

Please don't throw out the Bible Keliy. I believe we are all to interpret the Word of God, but it will be up to God Alone to judge our interpretations and our lives lived based on those interpretations. | ||||||
3 | Interpretation | Gen 2:2 | BradK | 220935 | ||
Hello Rick, I don't believe Keliy was throwing the bible out- quite the opposite! The Word of God clearly states in 2 Pet 1:20, "But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation," (NASB) You state, "I believe we are all to interpret the Word of God, but it will be up to God Alone to judge our interpretations and our lives lived based on those interpretations." Where exactly in scripture do we find this teaching? It appears that you're offering a defense of subjective interpretation? Scripture is not open to any and every whim. The Historic Christian Faith supports no such notion! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Dear Rick, You should have also read the below in the TOU: You must abide by the following rules in connection with your use of the Forums: - Postings must be Biblically based and not opposing the Bible's sole authority (sola Scriptura), Christianity, or the deity of Jesus Christ. This is, I believe, exactly what Brad asked you to comply with in his post to you. Shalom Azure |
