Evolution and missing out on the fullness of scripture

[Mercer (John Mercer)]

Why do you see it that way?

Mark put it well:

@Mark10.45

I think that man, in his search for understanding, has assigned the term “person” to God and to the Holy Spirit to bring others to believe, but realistically just cloud the understanding. It seems to me that ID continuously puts God in a taskworker/button pusher/architect type of light because they misunderstand God as a person. That just seems foolish to me. How can we know?

@Mark10.45

Evolution and Christianity are not at odds. Creationism is not Christianity, though a portion of Christians are the ones that press it. Evolution and Creationism are at odds for sure, but Christianity does not require one to hold on to creationism in any scriptural sense other than that God is the Creator of all, including the process of evolution.

Your idea of the Christian God seems more like my idea of Zeus.

Speaking of Scripture, what lesson do you get from the story of Jesus meeting the Samaritan woman at the well, particularly his conversation with the disciples about it afterward?

That Jesus is the Savior and Messiah for all who believe, not just the Jews.

Are you saying that this only applies to Jews? That’s there’s no lesson in this for you, today?
