I chuckled when I read your post. So I guess you are the final authority that has determined that Christianity must “reformulate” to catch up with the times. We must change Holy Scripture so it is more “scientific.” No one, not me, not you, not every scientist on the planet knows how old the planet Earth is. Scripture doesn’t say it’s 6,000 years old. Nor can scientists prove the Earth and the Universe are million, zillion, years old.

Be careful of the price you could have to pay to try to change true Christianity and especially the Word of God.

Other than the fact you sound as if you have never placed your faith in Jesus Christ, which is very sad; I’m still chuckling about your thinking you or any one could change the Eternal Word of the Most High God.

How is this a bad idea? The Church (Body of Christ) needs to stay abreast of the times. Christianity has to change its message as it has been been outdated by science. The world and universe are much older than six thousand years. That is all the Bishop is saying. Otherwise in the near future there will be no faith left just superstitious believers.

Martin Luther told us that the biggest enemy of faith is reason. Yet reason has got us to where we are today in the modern scientific world. To reverse Luther’s statement- Faith must then be the biggest enemy of reason. There has to be compromise between faith and reason and that is what the Bishop is saying. Interesting time’s ahead for all and sundry. You cannot deny established scientific evidence. So what do you do?

Darwin’s “origin of the species by means of natural selection” puts death before the fall of man. Just the cover of the book is an introduction of the lies to follow.

Indeed there is a lot of reasoning for evolution, but it is all circular. I will also pray for your family and for you…

Arthur

Even the bible makes space for Evolutionists and their ridiculous ideas… you ask me if I have read the ‘other important books in the Bible’ I think I need to ask you the same question because you know you haven’t.

You know that Darwin said “It rained for millions of years on the rocks. A soup came from all this rain on the rocks and amoeba was formed. From this Amoeba, man and ALL living creatures developed”

Check this out…

Jer 2:27 “Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.”
Jer 2:28 “But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.”

Ummm Errmmm.. Say no more..

What else would you like me test my faith with Arthur? You know that Satan tested Jesus Christ in the desert, why now are you trying to imitate Satan?

I pray you leave you dear family alone. They have done nothing to harm you.

Arthur

God never loses his credibility. If science and gnosis amalgamate you end up where you are – faithless and following another pathway away from God and His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ.

I do not want to change anything in the Bible. But it will have to change to keep up with modern science otherwise it will loose it,s credibility. Can you see that in any way. You are a very committed Christian. That is ok. You also come across as very intelligent and knowledgeable on sound doctrine. But if your foundation rock is secure it must with stand intense scrutiny from outside the faith.

Anyway thank you for your interaction and your website which i find very enjoyable and enlightening. I also once contended for the faith. My wife and family are still committed Christians. I however for there sake try not to upset their faith with my un belief. Maybe i should also not upset your and your readers faith as well with my scepticism?

Arthur

I new there was something dodgy with you and your comments but I could not put my finger on it and now you come out and expose yourself.

So…You want to change the message of the bible? You want to change the Word of God? You want to change Jesus? (because Jesus Christ is the Word of God – Jesus in the Bible in Published form) So you want to change Jesus to what? I know of another individual, Satan who has been trying to do the same thing since this the beginning of time.
