Should Christians Hold to any form of Theistic Evolution then?

Very new to us indeed. Most of us actually believe that God said what is physically, spiritually, morally, accurate. Most of us believe that the Bible is God’s word and not a collection of religious ideas. Most of us are not used to the idea of doubting God. Might I add that that is not a good habit to get into. It is the very opposite of faith by which we are told is necessary to please God. It is also very telling to me that at the same time we are told that we need faith to please God, the beginning of the world is mentioned and only understood by faith. Heb. 11
But you have to believe the Bible to agree with it. For all the people who want science to take the lead and tell the Creator how it works and how it was made, this is not living by faith.
No, I’m not interested in doubting God. It may sound foolish to you. I wouldn’t be surprised.

It will "introduce" to the liberal and critical mindset so prevalent in modern Scholarship concerning Genesis, as the Historical account view of literal describing what happened now goes into myth, symbolism, metaphor anything to deny that we have recorded down to us actually literal History from God

I just don’t understand how people can say they believe God and without taking another breath say that they don’t. They have fooled themselves by thinking they affirm God’s Word while denying what it says.

Jesus Himself affirmed a literal Adam and Ever, a literal Fall, so why do many seem to deny it? Unless they are smarter the Jesus in this area, which seems far fetched as he was around back then and was the Creator?

Should we believe what God has said, or what Ben is saying? They are vastly different, and since there is nothing more important to me than the truth, I believe what God has said.

It is painfully obvious that you have not read either commentary and that you are not at all familiar with Claus Westermann or Kenneth Mathews.

Not if you deny the beginning of Genesis as Historically accurate.

True. It may also be that I don’t know what you are trying to say.
Would you mind telling me again since I must have misunderstood your post. But reading it again, I don’t think I did.
