Creation Ministries International (CMI) seems to think that as long as you are saved, you can believe whatever you like about creation. In other words, it does not matter what you believe about the rest of the Bible as long as you believe what refers to salvation. 90% of the Bible would not be a salvation issue using this logic. Therefore, you can believe what you like about 90%. And people wonder why the church today is so messed up.
So I wrote them a comment on their website. Here is what I said and that they said in response.
As to why they said that believing OEC (Old Earth Creation) or TE (God used evolution to create) won’t affect your salvation. A YEC (Young Earth Creation) ministry saying this. Wow. What is the point of defending YEC if any belief will get you into Heaven?
If any belief gets you into Heaven then why even argue it?
Genesis 1:31 | View whole chapter | See verse in context And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was *very good*. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
We all know that evil is the opposite of good. And it has been concluded by many Christians that evolution opposes creation for the very reason that it is considered evil. Evil also means in Biblical terms to be of Satan. Now something directly from Satan always the direct opposite of God and basically a deception also known as a counterfeit. This is because Satan is opposing God so he has to be the direct opposite. So for Satan to be the direct opposite of the Tree of Life that represents eternal life, he has to come up with a tree of death that has no possible way to become eternal.
In the Bible it speaks of the Tree of Life:
Revelation 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Revelation 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Living to have an eternal life is the goal that is presented in the Bible. The goal of evolution is the death of an inferior species so that a better one can evolve. And all die and there is no eternal life because in evolution the possibility of a soul cannot be explained through natural causes. So basically evolution is Satan’s counterfeit for God’s Tree of Life (eternity) and His Creation. Basically counterfeiting and denying all that God represents.
