The more one reads the world's literatures--even in translation--the harder it becomes to perceive a text as rich as Genesis as a literal account of anything.

Q: How can the Bible be correct about the world being created in six days?
A: Many Christians become troubled when they read the creation account in the Bible and then listen to the ideas of evolutionists. The Bible, of course, asserts that God created the universe and ev ...[text shortened]... fe developing over vast periods of time as a scientific fact, though it is really only a theory.
In science, theory is as close as they get to "fact". They leave God out because she has not been observed, measured, or otherwise accounted for by empirical methods. Calling evolution "really only a theory" is a common rhetorical strategy employed by anti-evolutionists, but it only persuades those whose scientific education is deficient.

Personally I don't believe in God however I have no problem with people who do. The only bit I cannot understand is the Earth being 7000 years old.
Look at the evidence for each side.
On the young Earth side you have Genesis, part of a book which has many parables and uses them as a way of describing the undescribable.
On the old Earth side you have t ...[text shortened]... losely agrees with all the data popular wisdom will be that the Earth is 3.45 billion years old.

Hey you know I was once Catholic myself and I though that I had it all together sinning all the time looking at porn and still said to myself that I was going to Heaven because I was a good person. But the thing is only Jesus can save you, tou cant doing thing to save yourself.

Originally posted by eagles54it has other verses that show a relationship, like abiding in Him, or Rev. 3:20 where Jesus stands at the door and knocks, will you let Him come in.

Does this statement absolve persons of personal responsibility?

Originally posted by darvlayYes, I would say you are right sometimes. And also when they speck in latin, I know that is not from the heart at least in the U.S., because a lot of the congrigation will not understand it at least I didn't. I remember one time my mom and I had gone to the Catolic Church on lent wed. and it was the Spanish serves, do you think I got anything out of it, when I was in High School I cheated my way though Spanish because of my learning Deisablitiy.
Personally, I find the prayer techniques of charasmatic preachers such as Jimmy Swaggart, Jerry Falwell, Benny Hinn and a slew of others to be completely insincere and exuberant for the sake of showmanship.

Originally posted by kirksey957Dyslexcia, I heard on the radio last night that a man with a speach problem lead 4 Dr.s to the Lord. And the man giving the Broad cast said that God made the weak things of the World to shame the Strong. So you see God showed his Truth though a weak person, just like he should his word though Moses.
