Think About This
Beware of the Pharisees! Jesus was constantly in conflict with the traditions of His day. Our traditions also get in our way, whether it is Catholic, Baptist, Charismatic, Mormon, or any other belief system. It even applies to secular traditions. The underlying cause of this is sin; the sin of pride. Jesus said the meek will inherit the earth.
It is not difficult to overcome this pride and move towards light. What we do, if we are honest, is that when we hear something that is against what we believe, our first thought is to think that it is wrong. If you are a passionate person, you might go to the effort to prove you are right. What Jesus wanted was more like a Nichodemus who had the attitude, maybe I am mistaken, and I should see if you are right. Let me tell you, when you choose to be a meek person, you will become dangerous to your tradition.
Introduction
I am passionate about my Savior, Jesus Christ, and His Word. I am just as concerned as Jesus was with traditions and incorrect understandings of scripture creeping into the church. With all humility, I am attempting to help Christians rethink things that may have gotten us off course. I believe that by faith, prayer, and study, God will use me to help in this task.
I have come to believe that there are two areas the church needs to refocus on, and that is the first three chapters of Genesis and the Paradise Kingdom of God.
The Creation Story
The view that the earth is only 6000 years old and that God created everything in six twenty-four-hour periods has been held firm by conservatives for decades. My intention is not to convince Christians that this view is incorrect; instead, it is to demonstrate another view that treats these chapters as literal without undermining doctrine.
It is important because many cannot accept the belief that the universe is only 6000 years old. Demanding them to do so when there are other views will hinder the gospel’s reach.
I have a series of articles that I hope will help us think more clearly about this matter.
