Bible Note: Dear CDBJ...WE Agree....:-) You wrote... "This discussion on thy doctrine of ((creation)) has gone far enough!! It is getting out of hand and I refuse to go any further because of the issues that were brought up, that have nothing to do with my original comment. In love, CDBJ" Lucifer (Satan) was good at one time. You wrote... ": Jenson, I would like to point out that I think everything that God does is good, even Lucifer was good at one point." WE agree, on a different thread, but we agree afterall. So why do you want to stop the debate on creation. I have no "technique", really, and my hearts desire since coming to the Lord a short time ago is that I have fallen in love with Creation, as a study. I have no formal education of any note in the "hard sciences" so I am pretty much sell taught. ( I mean led :)) When you and I can agree on such a basic understanding that God did not create evil, certainly we should be able to discuss creation. I am open to your points, in fact. I am willing to listen. I just took the Book literally when I first read it. If what I learned in John 3:16 was true, why would this creation story not be believed also? But please don't hang up the phone. God BLess....Jensen |
