Comment on La Sierra University debate over creationism continues by Frank Largo, Jr..
If one would only let the Holy Spirit guide them in the truth one would quickly realize the follies of men. When one reads Genesis 1:5 God’s Word clearly states a “day” as the measure of time as He (God) created. He established this before He created anything else so that we may know that when He created it was all accomplished in 6 literal 24-hour day periods. Furthermore we also know that He ended creation when He rested on the seventh day… “because on it He rested from all the work of creating that He had done.” Genesis 2:2
By proposing and accepting any other belief is contradicting God’s Word and if you can’t accept one part of His Word you may as well reject it all completely. If God did take years if not thousands of years to create, why does the Bible state otherwise that it was done in 6 “days”? It doesn’t say “years” or “thousands of years”. Let’s just suppose that He did create in years instead of days? That would mean He rested for years or thousands of years or millions of years? Does that make any sense? Are we then to work 6 years, 6 thousand years, or 6 million years and then rest on the 7th year, 7th thousandth year, 7th millionth year? That would be great! I could take a very long vacation from my work!
Science is not the ruler of God. Instead God is the ruler of not only science, but of everything! Science cannot accept the idea that something can come from nothing! Hence, out their own creative minds and their laws of physics that they “create” men try to explain not only God’s creation but God Himself! I believe they are barking up the wrong tree. There are some things man will never explain about God and I guess that irks some scientists that they cannot know everything! Jesus Himself observed the seventh day Sabbath! Was He wrong for observing His own day that He Himself sanctified and made holy? To propose that evolution is a better explanation as opposed to creation is to suggest that Jesus Himself was a heretic and a false Christ through his creation and observation of the Sabbath. Man’s “theory” of evolution undermines God’s very essence. He is a powerful and creative and loving God that formed everything by His uttered word!
I pray that our faith remains ulfaltering to the popular worldly notions and that our church holds steadfast to its “Bibilical” teachings and beliefs. If not, the faith of many will be weakened as the enemy attacks from within! If our church does not deal with this issue quickly and decisively, I fear we will lose many to other false doctrines when they do arise within our church community. It makes one wonder whether we truly are the “remnant” church or is there another church that will form after this one crumbles from within? Perhaps. I hope not. Time will only tell if this is to be. Does “come out of her my people” also apply to the Adventist Church? Hmm. I wonder…God will purify His church one way or another!
