Hello CTD, smile

I sincerely like your observation. Thank you for taking the time to 'enlighten' all of us.

I am reminded of what our Lord said in Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone that saith unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter the Kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH the will of my Father which is in heaven." Matthew 7:21 (emphasis mine)

It was quite a surprise to me to learn, about 6 years ago, that Noah Webster wrote the first 'American Dictionary of the English Language' 1828. He was a devout Christian.

We have a copy of this- from Foundation for American Christian Education Fascimile First Edition. We purchased this from CBD (Christian Book Distributors). How amazing to see the words, then the definitions followed by Scripture Verses! Astounding, indeed!

Back to the subject of Creation....from the WEBSTER'S NEW WORLD DICTIONARY of the American Language/ Second College Edition:

creation= the universe and everything in it; all the world / anything created;....
THE CREATION/ Theol. God's creating of the world.

creationism= The doctrine that God creates a new soul for every human being born; opposed to traducianism 2.) the doctrine that ascribes the origin of matter, species, etc. to acts of creation by God.

Your comment about some people believe, "you can still be a Christian and believe in evolution, so it isn't important they say.".....sounds like an oxymoron to me.

AS our Pastor tells us, "Either you are a Christian and believe in the inerrancy of (all) Holy Scripture, or you are NOT a Christian and are on your way to the bottomless pit, Hell." No two ways about it....

Hopefully it has been clarified that this Forum Creation/Evolution, is for both parties to base their opinions or information, without arguing. I would like to post some well documented devotionals from the 'Institute for CREATION Research'. This speaks to both, the Creationist and the Evolutionist. We shall see if this is acceptable to you, Russ, and the other moderators.

Thank you again for your stand for , TRUTH ! And I agree 100% that prayer is a must for all believers to approach the Throne Room of our heavenly maker, GOD!

Sincerely, Blessings, Abishag <><
