The Church and Genesis

The Church and Genesis

Are we still nibbling on the apple today?

Most of us grew up believing what we were told by our authority figures. At first, it was Mom, Dad and the preacher. Then, we were sent off to public school, and we started getting a somewhat different message. 

"Hath God really said...?"  

After years of doubt and downright contradiction of the Biblical account, is it any wonder that over 90% of the next generation have, at best lost their view of the Bible as accurate and inspired, and now regard it as quaint poetry? 

The drumbeat of Mainstream Science has drowned out the voices of those who are trying to say that the Bible can be believed, relegating them to the fringes with the "flat earthers" and conspiracy theorists. 

The message that you have the chance to hear the week of October 5 and 6 is that you have a choice. You don't have to switch off your brain to believe Genesis; as a matter of fact, there are some basic facts about the Universe that the theory of Evolution does not explain very well. That there are gaps and holes in the Emperor's robe of "science falsely so called" that the entrenched powers that be don't want you to hear. 

Christ Himself treated the Old Testament account as factual, not noble allegory. Most of the doctrines the Church believes in have their roots in the book of Genesis. Those who would cut you off from these roots rob you of your strength to withstand the wiles of the devil. 

The High Country Creation Weekend is not just something for those "other" folks, it's worth blocking out on the calendar and attending yourself.

IF THE FOUNDATIONS BE DESTROYED, WHAT CAN THE RIGHTEOUS DO?
