Genesis, Creation, Original Sin...... No Room for Compromise

Here is a very good website with a ton of information about creation from a biblical perspective.  It is a site devoted to apologetics on the subject of creation.  I believe the Bible is the inerrant word of God and that starts with Genesis.  There are a lot of Christians that are not sure where they stand on the story of creation as told in Genesis but I would encourage you to spend some time here so that you can can explain what you believe and why you believe it.  Strategy of the Devil

Many people give concessions to the literal meaning of Genesis, as a result they unknowingly leave the door open for a whole myriad of untruths and attacks from those that believe in evolution, darwinism, and any other forms of attack against Christianity.  I could summarize many of the issues here but here is an article that is worth reading that will help you understand just how slippery of a slope denial of the complete accuracy and historical truth of the book of Genesis really is to the entire Christian faith.

Genesis: Bible authors believed it to be history

‘The important thing is that God created, isn’t it?’

by Jonathan Sarfati, CMI–Australia
Ever had someone tell you, ‘You’re missing the whole point! The purpose of Genesis is to teach that God is our Creator. We should not be divisive over the small details. Genesis teaches the theological truth of “Who?” and “Why?” not about the “How?” and “When?”’ Or else they say that the Bible is a book for faith and morality, not history.

An obvious answer is, why should we trust Genesis when it says God created if we can’t trust it on the details? After all, Jesus told Nicodemus, ‘I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?’ (John 3:12). So if Genesis can’t be trusted on an earthly thing, such as Earth’s age, the sequence of creative acts upon it, or the Flood that covered it, then why trust it on a heavenly thing such as who the Creator was? Also, if Genesis 1 were merely meant to tell us that God is creator, then why simply not stop at verse 1, all that’s necessary to state this?
However, the critic has overlooked something even more important—Genesis is written as real history. This is why the rest of the Bible treats the events, people and time sequences as real history, not parables, poetry or allegory.
