BOO. RUclips fail. I'm going to be regularly live-streaming Sundays at 11am EST and Thursdays at 8:30pm EST. I'll post on the community tab if anything changes! Thanks for being a part of this!
God possesses within Himself all glory and worthiness to be served, even if there were no creature. - Wilhelmus A' Brakel ([A Christian's Reasonable Service]; volume 1, chapter 1, page 3.)
WOW. I can not believe how solid you are in your doctrine thus far! (Not everyone agrees on EVERY THING, but so far you’re batting 1K with me.) And yes, slavery WAS different than what we see it as from a 21st western mindset. Slavery preserved life in the OT. After a conquering army prepared to move on from the victory it was either leave the woman and children behind to fend for themselves, starve, and die, or do the HUMANE thing which was to take them as slaves and preserve life. God condones the preservation of life in the OT act of slavery. The points you mentioned also were bent toward the preservation of life in many other respects as well.
I'm flattered! Thank you! It is always a great moment when you find someone you match with theologically. I'm sure I'll irritate you eventually, so forgive me when I do! :)
God could have created the world in 6 SECONDS if it so pleased Him and made it appear to be as 6 MILLION years old if it so pleased HIM all the more. Who even knows what a six day creation is supposed to look like, as to whom, other than God who created it? Soli Deo Gloria!
Idk sis… most of Genesis seems pretty allegorical to me 🤷🏾♂️ Why would God make an Earth look millions of years old if its only thousands? Why does faith have to mean that we must take only one of the two creation accounts as historical account?
@@samueltaylor2757 One, it was created the same way man was. As a fully formed adult. There’s no evidence that the earth is or looks millions of years old. Radiometric dating is flawed in that it is only accurate to thousands to tens of thousands of years. They calculate based on an assumption they are trying to prove. It’s circular. Genesis is not written allegorically. There are certain styles of writing identifiable to the time as myth vs. poetry vs. narrative. Both of the Biblical creation accounts are true as one zooms in on the creation of man on day six. I really hope you keep watching and dig deep to find the answers! You don’t have to agree with me at all! I can certainly recommend more resources if you would like to dig deeper!
@@GracefulAnswers i get what you mean with the whole idea that God made adam an adult so why not the earth. I hadn’t thought of it that way. Are you still active? It looks like your last video was 6 months ago The reason I lean towards it being at least part myth/allegory is just how similar it is to non jewish creation stories. I think that God can weave his story through myth thats that made sense to the ancient people at the time. I think we get ourselves into a bit of a sticky mess when we try and apply modern day desire for historical and scientific accuracy on an ancient religious text. How do you know that the categories that we put in the text are binary in the sense that everything written in a narrative is claiming to be literal? While radiometric dating has its accuracy limits beyond 50,000 years, we don’t have any good reason to believe that life starts at the limit of radiometric dating. We have no good evidence to assume that isotope half lives become unpredictable to the point that we can say the science leads us to believe young earth creation. We can also observe and study the creation of other solar systems from earth. I’m not saying young earth creation is impossible, but rather it looks unlikely. You say that I don’t have to agree with you, but it doesn’t feel true. it feels very lonely being a Christian that thinks the way I do
I set the alert on RUclips the day before and didn’t get alerted 😞

Agree!
During this study I heard your southern drawl on occasion.
It came back out of nowhere this week! I left Mississippi at 8 years old but this week- so strange!!
@@GracefulAnswers I come from the Chicagoland area and my dialect slips in from time to time where I live in Southwestern Indiana
So funny how our developmental language comes out at the weirdest times! My son has had a great time giggling at me this week.
@@GracefulAnswers LOL! Yup!

Exactly. He made the universe in six days with a rest on the seventh to model for us weekly patterns of rest and work. :)
