  • Some people claim that the creation account in Genesis 1-2 is more like an ancient myth than a record of real events. Does it matter whether the Bible’s creation account is real history? In this message, R.C. Sproul shows that only the biblical record of creation can provide a satisfactory explanation for the world in which we live.

    I am so thankful history is linear, not circular! I would go insane thinking that this miserable life just goes around and around with no purpose, no goal, no meaning. No wonder Nietzsche's hatred of God resulted in exactly that.
    I will never understand how people can open their eyes even one day in this life without knowing WHY they're even here. People make it to adulthood, old age, even die that way. How can you exist your whole life without wondering what the point of it even is?! I barely made it through high school! Thank You, Lord Jesus, for finding me at age 18!

      He was an incompetent who apparently believed people choose to inherit Ancestral Sin. He didn't want to admit Calvinism means sin is good and nothing is evil since his god is glorified by spiritual death, and doesn't want all to repent & believe. Ezekiel 33:11

      Calvinism relies on John 6. We believe Jesus isn’t a liar. So we are forced to believe that God chooses and Saves whom he wills to save. Just like how Roman 9 says he makes vessels for wrath and mercy. God bless!

    I don't follow much of the teaching of my Presbyterian church, but I'm inclining much to this teacing. If anyone ask me which denomination i belong to, I'm proud to say I belong to Reformed Church spiritually. I may not leave my church, but this teaching fits my whole entire reasesrches before becoming a Christian and a believer in Jesus. Thanks to (L) R. C Sproul, he is still preaching and teaching us. Glory be to God.

    Genesis is the gospel of creation. The creation of all things through Christ. Genesis 1:1 is the death, earth= body water= blood. The substance of creation is Christ. The light is the resurrection 1:3. no cross no creation.

    Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God (Matthew 5:8).
    In John 16:25, Jesus tells us that he will SHOW us plainly of the Father. Jesus said, “at that day you shall ask in my name: I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and BELIEVED THAT I CAME OUT FROM GOD” (John 16:26-27). Jesus serves as our mediator right now, but in heaven he is no longer our mediator. In heaven, we can approach the Father ourselves because we made it through the narrow way: Jesus (John 14:6).

      @@rubiks6how does saying you are unsure of the age of the earth mean that you disagree with the Bible? We have no indication for how long Adam and Eve were in the garden of Eden before the fall ocurred. Therefore, we really have no way of knowing from the text the age of the earth. The Bible is about redemptive history, not about giving every single scientific fact. The Bible gives us everything we need to know about salvation. Btw don’t misinterpret what I’m saying, every scientific fact the Bible does give is true and infallible. But as for the age of the earth, one would have to read into the text the amount of time Adam and Eve were in the garden before the fall, and that would be a violation of the principles of biblical interpretation.
