Such is their inconsistency.

The argume...Of course its something very important. The argument that the TE-ers use is that it's importance is symbolic or pictorial, or idealistic. Not so, I think. The Holy Spirit uses the account to give us our bearings in our relationships with the world, each other and God. It provides the frame to inform our take on what really is and is not.<br /><br />So there's a choice. The frame is either true or not. TE-ers must say that its not and that reality is framed otherwise than in the Bible and that our encounter with God, our whole relationship is founded on something other than what God tells us.<br /><br />My mind goes in this context to Col 1:16: by him, through him and for him all things were created: the trough is the important bit. Things were not created through material, or process or some unfolding, but through Christ!Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827951993182450846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649826198961930411.post-21931947734372330152009-08-24T18:37:29.336+10:002009-08-24T18:37:29.336+10:00I think you are right, pal!
We've got to ask, ...I think you are right, pal!<br />We've got to ask, "why does Gd tell us about creation in Gen 1?" Is it to pass the time or really tell us something? I think that its to tell us something that is very important to us.Critiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16237963162637891378noreply@blogger.com
