Young earth or old earth: answers do exist

posted Friday, July 28, 2006 :: 6:56 AM

Previously: Young earth or old earth: do answers exist


I said that the heart of the discussion which my pastor started, when he said to not believe those who say they have answers about young earth or old earth, because they are lying, was the philosophical question, Can man know what is true, and How can man know what is true?


I said the Scriptures answer that question by saying God is truth, and man can know that truth which God has revealed to him.


God is truth:
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.” John 14:6
“God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent.” Numbers 23:19


Man cannot know unrevealed truth:
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, declares the LORD.” Isaiah 55:8
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?”Jeremiah 17:9


Man can know revealed truth:
“For I know that my Redeemer lives; and at the last He will stand upon the earth.” Job 19:25
“No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.” John 1:18
“Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father.” John 14:9
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.” Romans 1:18-20


If we accept that God is truth, that man cannot know unrevealed truth, but that man can know revealed truth; then we have to ask, has the truth about young earth old or old earth been revealed, and how?

I am researching the holy days which were instituted by God as a celebration of the Messiah, instead of celebrating the holy days which were instituted by man to honor nature in place of nature's God.
