Can't we All Just Get Along?

IS THE TEACHING OF A LITERAL 6 DAY CREATION REALLY ALL THAT IMPORTANT? Some would say no and some like me would say yes. Does it affect my salvation or how to get saved?...NO. Is it a big enough doctrine to separate over?...NO. Does it matter when it is all said and done?...YES.

Here is why. Error of doctrine at any point of GENESIS in the bible, will often lead you to other false teachings. If you mess with GENESIS you messed with the whole foundation. Everything after is a fulfillment of the book of Genesis. Romans is another book I have found to have so much TRUTH in it, to me it is all there, of what we need. Romans just may be the foundation for the New Testament as Genesis is for the old. Often one can go to any book and go back to these two and find a similarity.

Anyway, point being, if a BELIEVER holds to a “gap theory” or an evolutionistic scientific view of creation, don’t you think that is a LIE Satan will use to keep one from TRUTH…it did me. One would actually be amazed at all the SCIENTIFIC PROOF that points to a literal 6 days, more than the other way around. Although growing up, I knew in my head that there was ONE TRUE GOD and that Jesus was it, and that He died for my sins and all…BUT, what about evolution and Adam and Eve how did we all get here, blah, blah,,blah?….The LIE I was taught in school kept me from knowing God sooner. I could have died during that time and almost did. Your Christian kids are being lied to in their public schools and colleges and you believe the lie too? Wonder what else they can convince them of?

To not believe in a literal 6 day creation is to also not take God at His word, so if we can’t take Him at His word “IN THE BEGINNING”…then how can I in the rest of the word? Like I said about basic hermeneutics…One must take the bible LITERAL unless stated otherwise, because that is the one trick Satan uses for DECEPTION and OFFENSE. When one doesn’t take at first glance scripture literally like you would do anything else you may read, THEY become the AUTHORITY of what God’s word says and not God. That is what ALL religions and cults do, and is what Lucifer did in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve. He basically said, “Oh it ain’t a big deal, God didn’t mean what He said to you, think of it this way, at a different angle”…I KNOW BETTER? Wow, pretty bold stuff there.

If only the church would stop preaching/teaching “Topical, Relational, Feel Good” sermons (they should not be the norm) and start dissecting the word of God like Paul commanded us to do….2 Tim 2: 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Paul also goes on to talk about those desiring MILK and not MEAT. 1 Cor and 1 Peter. We have many babies in the church today, and then we wonder why there is such immaturity and why many sheep are wounded and hurting…knowledge is the first step of WISDOM. Actually the true meaning of WISDOM is it comes from God and it is the RIGHT USE OF KNOWLEDGE.

So to say, “it doesn’t matter what we believe as long as it is Jesus and Love, can’t we all get along?”..is only partially true (remember Satan mixes truth with lies) for if he can get us to be OFFENDED, that is what causes dissension…we are called to be of “One Accord”…to be “Of The Body”…to be “Of Like Mind”…to be “One With The Spirit”…we can’t do this if we believe the LIES!

We also must not be naive enough to think God has not allowed Satan to PLANT his “Wolves In Sheep’s Clothing” or the “Tares Among The Wheat”…He has, and their desire is to REPRODUCE just as much as God’s real sheep desire to do so. But, in a bad way though, and many don’t even realize the tool they are being at that moment. Satan’s other reason is to just plain DESTROY the good sheep. But the one who is SOUND in truth is the one who will prevail.

I personally don't have a problem with issues of time in genesis, if thousands or more years passed, but have BIG problem with someone saying theistic evolution IF they mean mankind evolved as darwin suppossed, and was NOT direct creation of God! or IF they deny historicall Adam and eve!

I can see you didn't watch the video....watch it then tell me you feel the same way?

For a true believer with any common sense and a desire for TRUTH cannot walk away after see the proof in a LITERAL 6 DAY CREATION...Like I've said in my OP, Satan uses LIES to deceive and work his purpose, God uses TRUTH.

It was the fall of mankind, Satan mixing some truth with some lies. The author shows and proves how devastation believing in evolution on any scale is WRONG and DANGEROUS. In fact it is the biggest lie of all to lead man to hell.

FOUNDATION is always the key, even Jesus said, "UPON THIS FOUNDATION (He is the rock) I will build my church," He also said, t"hat the one whose FOUNDATION is built on sand will surely be shaken and destroyed. But the foundation that is built on Him (TRUTH) will stand...I feel I am on a FIRM foundation and I make NO APOLOGIES for it.

That is the problem with "Christianity" today, too many are walking around drinking and desiring milk. You also have those who in their pride and self serving agenda's out there teaching and preaching extremes that harm and tear down rather than build up and edify.....why? Because these faulty systems and "powers that be" are producing weak, anemic and dying sheep...if they only had only desired the right balance of WHO GOD IS and what He wants from us, then more would be in agreements with me and what Pastor Whitaker taught and I am sure others...my ex and I had the EXACT SAME DOCTRINE and is one reason I was attracted to him and we didn't even learn it from the same church, but know I know it is a rare thing. The RARE PART is what NEEDS to be taught more...BALANCE, LOVE and TRUTH!...Separating the lies from the truth and loving God and others to best of my ability based in SUBMITTING and YIELDING and then in His power He produces the "fruits of the spirit" through me...IT AIN'T ABOUT ME!

That is my message and I a sorry if people don't get it...that is Ok, cause I am ACCOUNTABLE to God when it comes down to it, more than I am anyone person.

Do you hold that believing in a Young earth same necessity as say the Cross, resurrection of Christ?

Yes, Jesus isn't a lair and He said He would be in the tomb 3 days and 3 nights as Jonah was in the belly of the fish...That story of Jonah uses the WORD DAY..YOM...a full 24 hour day. Same with Jesus's word
