Well, everyone has what he beleives. As far as the belief does not hamper your relationship with Christ.

Waoh.... Do you actually believe that line?

Anyways, helping out your principal will do no harm to your relationship with Christ. I can assure you that.

Hampering your relationship with Christ there meant that Jesus won't look you in the face one day and say "depart from me, you worker of lawlessness" or "I never knew you".

I am not talking of going to chirch , or reading bible or praying. People do all those and still work lawlessness. Certain denominations also hold beliefs that encourage lawlessness. But the people there don't know that. They think they are serving God.

So this particular topic at hand whether one believes it a certain way or not, does not mean one will be eternally lost. I am more against doctrines that could lead people to hell or deny God's power to help people in their various predicaments.

I hate powerless empty words and vain religious practices.

What one believes (including the creation story) is the foundation for his faith/doctrines/religious practices(vain or valid)/word(empty or loaded).

You can do better than this bro. Come out clean... answer olaadegbu so that we can learn. Don't behave like him.

From what I read. He believes in the creation story. I dont know if literally or figuratively tho. So either way, there's no issue.

Besides I have stated my say on the issue.

Why you guys dodge questions is what I don't understand. Well what do I know. Flex.

Jeromejnr:
It depends on the beginning you are talking about, is it the beginning of the recreation of the earth or the beginning of the universe?
The Bible only talks about one beginning. If you disagree give us a supporting biblical verse.

You never asked me a question. But to support someone's claim. So why do you rant like to be evasive was my aim.

Throw me your doubts and I will answer you, its better not to remain in ignorance but as wise as others do.

No, I never I asked a question. But someone did, which you gave a longer-than-Nile reasons why you won't answer that simple question to support your claim.

You never asked a question but you needed an answer. What word will I give for that if not a banter.

Someone did ask a question and answers were given. He never complained but you took it upon yourself to vent your emotions.

Repent and beleive the Word so you could be truly free. cool

I don't have to go into all details now. Why don't you read Gen 1 and 2 carefully again. And take note of Keywords such as "Replenish" "the differences in Lights" "earth and water"

Then second Peter 3:6. And also Is 14:12.

Jesus gave us a clue here:

"That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation. From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple; verily I say to you, it shall be required of this generation" (Luke 11:50-51).

When was the blood of Abel shed?

It was shed where we saw it was shed.

I am learning how to evade questions.

I am very sure you have forgotten the question self. A reminder. How long is it from the beginning till Adams creation?

How long is too much for your finite brain to grasp. Why don't you try explaining how long it takes for a human baby to be born to a wasp.

"For reasons such as this, atheists forsake their own mercy. Look to the Word(Jesus) alone, for In Him is your rest. Beware of debates on frivolous issues for they do nothing but only promote strife and ungodliness."

The Lord has spoken.

okay Sir, @The lord

The summary of the above is 'I can't tell'. That's better than long story.
