The Institute for Creation Research recently aired an interview with geologist Dr. Timothy Clarey, in which many major issues of the creation/evolution debate were touched upon. I decided to summarize this video (note 1) partly because I've taken interest in creation geology since I've been a professing Christian, and partly because I think there are many people around the world who never get a chance to hear or read such evidence in support of Biblical Scripture.
Two human traits which are most corrosive and ugly when operating together are ignorance and arrogance. People who are both ignorant and arrogant tend to assume that you are the ignorant one. They may have more respect if you have letters after your name, but not if you don't think as they do. We need to stand our ground internally so as not to be drawn into their desire to diminish our self-respect and our confidence.
Is Old Testament history factual? If you ask a communist to tell you about the benefits of capitalism, they just might not give you a balanced answer. If you ask Donald Trump to describe the good points of communism, he probably won't give you an unbiased response. Similarly, if you go to secular sources and even some supposedly Christian sources of information on evidence for the Old Testament's account of history, you may not get the whole truth, if any.
From time to time I write about my conviction that Jesus Christ will return soon, and without setting dates I personally see his return occurring within decades, not centuries or millennia. If I'm wrong, I'll apologise later. You can ignore or mock, or you can carefully consider the possibilities. Here's a sketchy summary of thoughts on the matter. I've written longer articles on each subject, with Biblical references, in past posts.
Today I'm re-launching a series of posts on the subject of speaking in tongues. My motivation is to help correct some errors in the Church which are at best mistaken beliefs and at worst a demonic deception and a mockery of God. These articles are intended for those who are genuinely asking what the true nature of this spiritual gift is, and whether it's a vital part of the Christian's walk with the Lord.
