04/29/23 MODERN MESS OF POTTAGE

Did you hear me screaming this afternoon? While I was doing my exercise walk in TNH building I was listening to a YOUTUBE discussion concerning the historicity and factual record of Adam and Eve, as found in the Bible.

I am a Christian, therefore I believe the Biblical account, but it was interesting (spell that D I S T U R B I N G) to hear a supposed Bible believer try to explain away the Biblical record of Adam and Eve by espousing the idea that the Bible account of creation is MYTHO HISTORY. Yes, I have heard people try to equate Evolution with Creation, but this was more sophisticated and dressed in more evangelical terminology. The idea is that various forms of manlike creatures roamed the earth for 750,000 years, then God supposedly brought a male creature and a female creature together, and from those two people (referred to as Adam and Eve), came the entire human race. And this is supposed to be more palatable than Almighty God creating man in His own image. It is as absurd as the false teaching that angels cohabited with humans. Don't listen to those weirdos. You never know where there mind has been.

This so-called theologian, philosopher, Christian apologist believes that the MYTHO History is not intended to be a lie, but simply an explanation. He referred to the God's breathing into Adam's nostrils, the breath of life, by saying God blew into Adam's nose and considers God taking a rib from Adam to form the woman as ludicrous. He also laughs at the idea of a "talking serpent," a "magical tree" whose fruit gives immortality. His blasphemy is replete through the first 11 chapters of Genesis and continues into the teachings of Jesus and the Revelation at the end of the Bible. Yes, there is imagery in the Bible, but when you don't accept the facts of the Bible then you won't understand the imagery correctly.

So yes, I would walk and squawk, walk and squawk, scream, and walk faster. It turned out to be a good walking time and it stirred me up as I am preparing for my upcoming Men's Bible Theology In Genesis Study, this coming Thursday.

I believe God's word is true and inerrant because it is God's word. I don't try to make it fit "science." Academicians, historians, anthropologists, and other "scientists" have falsely accused the Bible of errors for centuries, but the Bible has been verified time and again.

I can't answer every question about life, but I know where life comes from and I know that the God of the Bible knows everything and He has all power and He has all wisdom. I don't care who comes up with a new find that "disproves" the Bible record. I already know they are wrong and probably will be proved wrong in the next several years. But even if they are not proved wrong in this lifetime, they will be proved wrong for eternity.

Whenever people try to make the Bible agree with fallacious human wisdom and knowledge, there is pride. This pride denies the word of God and tries to explain God in such a way that He is more palatable for the natural mind. They deny the true God, His nature, His attributes, His word. That is the wrong direction because if you come to God, you must come by faith; you must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. 

Hebrews 11:3
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
