@Christy

Are you arguing about the use of a definite instead of an indefinite article? Because

Christy:
it is a foundation of the foundation of the gospel.[/quote]

Probably, yeah. I didn’t notice that.

[quote]is what I just said. I don’t think it’s meaningless, and I don’t see how you get to orthodox Christian theology without insights from Genesis 1-11. But it’s not as central as some YEC websites make it out to be.

Just like some Christians decide their particular interpretation of Revelation is the hermeneutical lens through which all other Scripture (and all of reality) must be interpreted and end up in weird places, YEC ministries have decided that their interpretation of Genesis 1-11 is the hermeneutical lens through which all Scripture (and all of reality) must be interpreted, and they too have ended up in weird places. If we are going to pick a hermeneutical lens, Jesus’ ministry and teaching and the apostles’ explication of Jesus’ ministry and teaching would be a better one. Israel is key in both.

Agree completely.

OK Hesper. Thanks for your interaction.

I have decided to stop posting on this site, so I’ll bow out at this point. Our approach to the Bible is miles apart and it just isn’t profitable to carry on a discussion because we’ll never agree.

Blessings!

Hi Tokyoguy, thanks for taking the time to share your point of view with all of us on this forum and with me personally in our discussions.

For me, our discussions are valuable even if no agreement will ever be reached. My purpose is just to share viewpoints and, ideally, to learn something new from each other. I know I sometimes sound too antagonistic as I enjoy debating too much, but that’s something I will have to keep working on. Even with the differences between our approaches, we can still stand united before our Lord, Jesus Christ . Please know that you’re welcome to share your thoughts here or via PM with me whenever you feel like it.

Blessings to you and your work in Tokyo!
