Bible Note: 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. |
