Indwelling Sin, the Bible and Science, and Favorite Moments in Church History 3 Questions Podcast
-
- Christentum
1. As a Christian whose sins are already forgiven through the finished work of Christ, is it wrong to ask forgiveness for indwelling sin as I continue to grow? Should I focus on “confessing and repenting” of continual sin, as opposed to asking “forgiveness”?
2. How do the Bible and science relate to each other? Specifically regarding origin of the universe, and age of the earth, and evolutionary processes?)
I’ve never had a problem believing in creation and believing in science. My God made man and my God created science as well. He is big enough to have done both. The Bible doesn’t tell us everything about creation, it doesn’t tell us how long a day was. It could have been 24 hours. It could have been 24,000 years. I live in Norman, there is a museum of natural history right down the street. To deny that the dinosaurs existed seems almost ludicrous. Why isn’t more said about how the Bible and science are related and how one offers explanations for the other. After Doug’s sermon last Sunday this and other related questions seem to be popping into my brain. I don’t believe that I was formed when two molecules accidentally collided in a pool of mud. But if that’s how God wanted to do it, who am I to question. I believe the Bible is the infallible word of God. Why can’t we use it to help explain science.
3. Believing that there are lessons to be learned from Church history, both for good and for bad, what is a favorite story/lesson from the Christians that have gone before us?
