Knowledge of this love is an important part of having faith in God ( Hebrews 11:6). A person has to know that God loves them, probably in order to be saved. But attaching "Flood Geology" and all of its attendants to the Gospel just weighs it down.
How can I convince someone that God really does love them when they see that I've been deceitful about the natural history of the earth? Neither I nor the "god" that I'm trying to peddle in this circumstance are worthy of trust.
How can they say they trust God Whom they haven't seen, if they can't trust the Christians they have seen? |
Their trust shouldn't be in Christians, it should be in God and his Word. How can someone believe in the God you speak about if they can't trust his Word regarding the creation? Science is a shakey foundation because a discovery might be made tomorrow that throws a commonly accepted theory on it's head and then a new theory replaces the old. How can one believe in the atonement if Jesus didn't rise from the dead? If you claim that Jesus rose from the dead we know then that God doesn't operate according to the laws of science therefore science is inadequate to explain God or to explain what God has done. At the end of the day God's Word will stand as being the truth...even if you can't explain it scientifically.
