making up your own terms and false definitions.won't convince anyone but yourself. There are many people of all faiths that cherry pick,it human nature,still doesn't make it right,and you fall right in the middle of the pack. What is a reactionary evangelical? This should be good.
The
bolded above is exactly what you are doing. You folks have always been guilty of bad theology.
LOL if you say so,typical . bad theology? just stating this doesn't make it so,once again typical of a liberal. Say it enough,you convince yourself.
You can't be a Christian if you reject creationism its that simple.
Whoever wrote the books 3,000 or so years ago knew their audience.
Imagine going back 3,000 or more years with the job of explaining a microwave oven to the people of those years. You wouldn't even make it to 'magnetron' before they tied you to a stake and set you on fire.
Shit, they couldn't even count past 40, which is why Noah's Flood was caused by 40 days and 40 nights of rain.
Even the Romans had trouble counting past 10,000. And the integer 0 (zero) had yet to be invented.
Try dividing MMMMCMXCIX by LXXXIX
Good luck.
Whoever was trying to teach those people undoubtedly used parables and made some stuff up along the way, but the messages were still pretty good.... Like --
Don't kill your neighbor so you can pork his OL. Very uncool.
Try taking a bath every once in a while.
Stealing isn't very nice
etc, etc.
That these basic guides to living were couched in some mysticism shouldn't surprise anyone with an IQ...... And if you dimocraps get confused, I'm sure a Conservative will be glad to help you along.
So if the people trying to tell these others about Creation used numbers like, "The Earth was created 6 Billion years and the Universe was created 8 Billion years before that......"
They wouldn't have gotten very far. So I can forgive them for using 'days' instead of 'Billions of years'
IOW, they had to dumb it down. Just like when I'm trying to make a point to a dimocrap. You gotta talk real slow and pronounce your words very clearly.... And try not to use ideas they're incapable of grasping with their tiny little brains.
Just like the writers of the Old Testament. You gotta know your audience..
P.S.
It's not worth the trouble making a point to a dimocrap. They'll just forget it their next trip around the fish bowl.
I just call them names and move on.
