Amen! Our morality is not based on what the world thinks, what we think, or
what anyone tells us. Our morality is based on the Truth: God alone. We
believe that we are subject to an absolute right and wrong that can only be
found through God.
Some months back I questioned whether we can be in sin if we simply error
without wrong intent. I was told to wrestle with God about it like Jacob
wrestled. The limp does not show in the writing but the answer is, yes, error
and sin are the same. God gave us the law so that we would know our sin but
our sin existed before God gave us the law.
Do I believe in evolution or a young earth? NO! Do I believe that Jesus
Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no man can come to the Father
except by Him? ABSOLUTELY! Evolution, a young earth, and my belief in Jesus
Christ are not mutually exclusive. I may be wrong about the first two (maybe
not) but that does not change the truth of Jesus Christ.
One more thing - I am not a stuffy, grouchy old man. I am a beautiful
(fearfully and wonderfully made) young princess (joint heir to the throne
according the promise given to Abraham) with joy in my heart (inexpressible
and glorious joy, 1Peter 1:8-9)!
