By that I mean:

1. Are you a Christian?
2. Do you believe in a young or old earth?



*NOTE* I don't mean for this to become a discussion for the above topics, but merely as a reference for those who discuss topics in this forum.

It really helps me and others to understand what a person means when they post something if you know the answer to the above questions.

Am I a Christian? Good question.

By the definition of the word, I most certainly am. A Christian is one who follows the teachings of Christ. That's what it means to me. It does not mean "one who follows the bible." But it means exactly what it implies.

Do I follow the Bible? Not entirely, no. I realize that many will hold up the Bible and say, "This is the word of God." But to me, the word of God is Christ, and his words are within the pages of the bible.

Do I disagree with the bible? Well what is there to disagree with? I cannot escape the truth that is Christ, nor do I deny the reality of the history of the Jews or the early Christian church.

So what kind of Christian am I? All you need to know and understand is that I love God, and you. And if you understand the power that is within those first two commandments quoted by Christ, then you will know what kind of Christian I am.


Old earth? Young earth?

There are many theories, but let us go back to the beginning:

Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form and empty. And darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters.

Can you see that the earth was there, but without the form/shape it has today? Despite having waters, it was void of life, but it existed nonetheless. This then begs a question:

What was earth doing before God shaped it into its current form? Had it always been without shape and devoid of life? Could the earth have had a previous form which sustained life?

Could the life it sustained be those of all the extinct animals such as the dinosaurs et al? Could some previous version of humanoid have existed upon the earth?

We cannot deny that Genesis shows the earth in existence before God shaped it into its form. We cannot deny that the substance in the heavens which God came upon was devoid of life. For Genesis holds the record.

But we can ask a question:

Is it possible that the earth was previously destroyed?
 
YES........Yes>>>>>>>Yes........Yes..........Yes......oh did I say YES

young or old.... still weighting the evidence
