I edited my previous post, therefore, you may wish to read it again.
Your ideas don't fit more than me, for they also do not fit the Son of God either as well as Peter, Paul, Stephen, and others.

Again, Darius, whether intentional or not, you are playing into the hands of the devil.
And you say that on the strength of an opinion from the SS Quarterly editors? Give me a break. They put that in there to scare people into toeing the party line. They know their position cannot withstand scrutiny. The only leverage they have is the ability to send people to hell. Sorry, it does not work on me. I got to know the Creator himself so I am not scared of any of the popular human caricatures of Him.

Darius,
It isn't the editors of the SS Quarterly I am referring to, it is the Son of God, Peter, Paul, and Stephen that I am listening to.
As far as knowing the Creator goes, Christ is the Creator, therefore, if anybody knows about the veracity of Genesis and the rest of the Bible, He knows, and it is Him that I am listening to.
You are obviously not listening to the Creator as you claim to be.

Daryl it is the editors of the SSQ who claim that to question the veracity of the Genesis account is to play into the devil's hands. I don't like to correct people on these kinds of facts. It can get a bit messy.
Now, show me where you got Jesus's views on Genesis.

How about John 5:39 for starters, quoted below:
Quote:
John 5:39 KJV Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
Christ told us in the above verse to search the Scriptures, which, of course, refers to the Old Testament, which includes Genesis.

Daryl, that quote says nothing about the issues we are discussing. I completely agree with what it says. I also suspect that you missed the sarcasm in Jesus' comment. He was actually berating the Jews for thinking that they were better off because they had the Scriptures. "In them ye THINK ye have eternal life." He wanted them to understand that the only value of their Scriptures was that they testified of Him. You seem to have the same problem having put your confidence in the Bible.

It says a great deal about the issues we are discussing.
Christ also saying in that text, "and they are they which testify of me." is affirmation of the Old Testament Scriptures, as Christ said that the Scriptures testify of Him. Genesis is included in this, as Genesis is a part of the Old Testament Scriptures.
You asked for Christ's view. Christ affirmed the Scriptures to the point of saying they testify of Him. Christ wouldn't have said that, if He had thought otherwise of the Scriptures.

Let's go on to another text, a few verses down from the first one, namely John 5:46 and 47 which says: Quote:
Johh 5:46 KJV For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
Here Christ affirms the inspired writings of Moses, which included Genesis, particularly Genesis 3:15.
Christ even went so far to say that if you don't believe Moses' writings, then how can you believe His words.
Darius, if you can't believe Moses' writings, which includes Genesis, then how can you believe the Creator's own words, the Creator being Christ?

Daryl, I think you are mistaking me for someone else. You seem to think I believe stuff I don't believe.

Darius,
I call it as I see it, and you asked me to show you Christ's view of Genesis, which I am doing, as the way He views the Scriptures is the way He views Genesis, as Genesis is included in the then existing Scriptures.
You said the Creator speaks through your senses.
I say the Creator speaks to us through the inspired Scriptures, and Christ, as the Creator, tells me that, in the verses I have shared with you so far in response to your request.
