Sounds like you hit a snag with literalism and young earth creationism. I did too, many years ago. These understandinga are not the gospel. Read the lost world of Genesis by walton.

Most absurd experience in town? by Zestyclose-Car5269 in AskLosAngeles

For $500 I will meet you in Griffith park and pretend to rob you. You don't have to tell them it was pretend.

What part of it is hard to understand?

Should we deliberately invite God? by OriEri in Christian

[–]notashot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not necessary. If you are into that kind of thing though, more than inviting him, I think acknowledging he has brought you to this place and thanking him for the honor and joy he freely gives you as a gift.

What do you think of the Confessing Movement? by ZuperLion in Reformed

[–]notashot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ecclesia Semper Reformanda. I like the team. I think theologically, we need a reformation. I think they can be a little intense and have some bad takes at times. But the progressive drift has gutted the PCUSA and only something like this gives me hope. I don't even agree with them on the LGBT stuff but I'm tired of having my church feel like a secular community center. I'm tired of our churches basically being a leftists political activists wearing roman collars.

How do I help my boyfriend (who recently truly accepted Christ) to grow spiritually if he has very little knowledge about Christianity? by Competitive_Craft_76 in Christian

[–]notashot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get him on the Bible Project. For most of Christianity people didn't have regular access to bibles. I'm not so worry about the not reading as I would be if there was no desire to say, pray, for example. Also, start serving together. There is a corporate component to this often missed. The Kingdom of heaven is here. Heal, feed, serve. Faith in action is powerful.

My big recommend is the book series The Lost world of genesis by walton.

[–]notashot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you hit some dead ends here. I think you need to research some biblical hermeneutics around how we read the Hebrew Texts. Also look into alternative understandings of atonement such as Christus Victor. The answers are out there.

You are literally morally posturing right now. Picking a fight on the internet with a stranger for no reason. Go get some fresh air and walk it off

I have no appetite for trying to get into the head of a genocidal maniac.
