Bible Question: How can an accient narative (like Gen.) be authoritative in the modern world we live in... what grid to we use to translate the Genesis, let alone any piece of the Word. I believe we jump to modern application all too quickly... I am in FT youth work and would enjoy knowing more about how to help kids (and me) handle the Word with excellence. Freedom in Christ! MDK |
Bible Answer: I agree with JVH0212, it is the foundation that our faith is built upon. If one believes that God created, then it is easy to understand why God has the right to set rules and regulations for His creation. And also why God has the right to reward and punish those whom He has created. If we had only come from slime, then who is God to tell us anything. That is what I have heard most often from those who believe in evolution. Have you ever watched the videos "Understanding Genesis" by Ken Ham (and Gary Parker)? They are excellent. The tape series contains information about faith, history, archeology, and biology -- all in the context that "God created". Even your teens would enjoy these tapes I think. |
