B111:  Belief in Millions of Years Compromises the Gospel Message

 

Edited by Greg Neyman

 

Argument: 

Many young earth creationists say that belief in millions of years compromises the Gospel message.

   - Millions of Years (AiG) 

Response: 

 

  1. The young earth claims are focused upon violations of young earth  beliefs (death before sin, etc) and violations of their interpretations of certain Scriptures, such as the Genesis account and Exodus 20:11. If you interpret Scripture as supporting millions of years, there is no problem...you are merely interpreting God's Word differently than they are, while still maintaining Scripture's authority.

  2. Even if the earth is millions of years old, sin is still the enemy that separates us from God. Whether or not there was death before sin has no bearing on our personal relationship with God.

  3. When interpreted correctly (or, differently from YEC interpretations), nothing in the Bible contradicts a millions of years old earth

  4. Believing in millions of years does not harm any of the doctrines of the Bible

  5. Many famous Christians believed in long ages, so you are in good company. C.S. Lewis, Hugh Ross, and Francis Shaffer, to name a few

 

 

     If you are not a Christian, and you have been holding out on making a decision for Christ because the Church always preached a message that was contrary to what you saw in the scientific world, then rest assured that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, and you can believe in Christ and receive salvation, while still believing in an old earth.  Click here for more.
