YEC and Historical-Grammatical Interpretation

[David_MacMillan]

@BenKissling

It is totally impossible to believe the original audience understood things like the “gap theory” or the “day age” theory.

And therefore your specific “historical-grammatical” model invented within the last few hundred years is the only possible alternative?

@BenKissling

The “grammatical historical” interpretation requires no such assumptions about either God or modern science. In fact, one doesn’t even have to believe in God at all to use it.

The “historical-grammatical” interpretation requires a gigantic suite of assumptions about the purpose of Genesis and the exegetical ability of early 20th century theologians.
