The Crossway Podcast is a show where we sit down with authors each week for thoughtful interviews about the Bible, theology, church history, and the Christian life.
Amen amen. Thank you to the Host. Thank for sharing all this wisdom on insecurity. I really need to hear this over and over again in this season of my life. I want to grow and learn how to fully trust God for rest of my life.
White supremacy? You are looking at worldly things, not heavenly. God diesnt look at who you are or how you look. You got this wrong. Sam Allberry is not the good person everyone thinks he is. I don't trust him at all
😂😂 yes, its an old series of books that have little to no relevance in modern civilization, so why are we being subjugated by such antiquated rhetoric and philosophy. Because some real jerkz know the power people give religion and seize it for their own purposes, I imagine
I can see the attraction of a triage approach to the age of the earth. But it seems to me that the unintended consequence of this approach is actually to compromise our witness. I feel desperately sad that so many people outside the church look at the created world - and give the credit to evolution, instead of giving the glory to God. The created world is supposed to point people to the creator - so that they are ‘without excuse’. Except - evolution does give them an excuse now. And instead of the church asserting confidently that God created everything, and deserves all the glory for it, we shy away from controversy and tell ourselves it’s not an issue worth causing disunity over. Surely God can’t be happy that he is not receiving the glory due to him? Whilst unity is a really important witness, is it more important than the witness we demonstrate in glorifying God for his creation? I’d love to hear Gavin’s response regarding this. Does evolution give God the glory - or does it rob God of his glory? And does it matter?
The whole young earth creationism was never an issue for me. As far as i'm concerned, it was NEVER necessary to take the creative days literally. Even if we don't take into consideration the text that says A thousand years is as one day to God, the Hebrew term used for day in the OT (yom) Can signify a period of time of unspecified duration. It was foolish to go with the English translation of the word day when the original manuscript was written in ancient Hebrew. What matters is there a definition of the word, not ours.
@rach9466 Depends. What's YOUR hermeneutic?? Passages meant to be literal are easy to identify. Passages that are symbolic are usually written in hyperbolic language. If something is stated that can't be true because it doesn't make sense (like wisdom being personified as a woman) the passage MUST be Symbolism.
@rach9466 It's weird That you completely missed what I said about the language of the original Hebrew. How on earth did you just breeze right past that???
@@MultipleGrievance you don’t have to yell lol.. yom is used in a context that describes consecutive instances, and a regular period of day/night, which would be a 24hr period. I suppose you can say the days are metaphor for many years or whatever but it’s not necessarily the most logical or concise reasoning.
If someone leaves the faith over an answer to a question they don't like or a disagreement It's likely they never had a strong foundation to begin with.

Abigail, how many abortions can 2.4 billion dollars buy? That is the amount that Biden has put in America’s “abortions for the world” program. The money goes toward paying for abortions directly, and to train foreign abortionists. Trump didn’t allow one nickel to go toward this God-mocking program. Oh, I know that voting against Trump “on principle” may give you warm fuzzies. And if that is your goal, by all means, go ahead. If you goal is to save human life from a horrific, bloody death, you only have one choice, and that is the sinner, Trump. Biden will kill 100 percent of the children who are deemed to be unwanted. Trump, say he’d save, oh, 90%. Dr John Piper’s imaginary candidate would save everyone, but, alas, we haven’t a clue who he is, and he has zero chance of winning. Hence, he would save no one. As someone who is consumed with saving lives, I’d just as soon save as many as possible. But that’s just me.
