James Reed's FORGE

Genesis 1:9-31

He was not confused when He created male and female. To the extent that we accept the truth of God’s word on such matters as human origins and human sexuality, will be the extent that we enjoy stability in our culture. As I see my fellow humans as image bearers of the most-high and living God, I begin to love and care for them. If, on the other hand I see my fellow humans as nothing more than a series of unguided chemical accidents, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with hating my fellow man. Indeed, the strongest will survive, right? Is this not what the survival of the fittest is all about? To the extent that I embrace an evolutionary point of view is the extent I make room for hatred, racism, lust, power, and total self-preservation at all cost. On the other hand, if I see my fellow man as an image bearer, I am more inclined to love, look past differences, care for others, and place others higher than myself. The truth of God is the only reason to even offer a standard of “right and wrong”. In the evolutionary world view, concepts of what is right and what is wrong are merely matters of opinion. As Christians, we appeal to an outside source for our direction. That outside source is the living God!
