Pastor Heath Lambert addresses whether the Book of Genesis should be understood as actual history. Drawing from his current sermon series through Genesis at First Baptist, he explains why Genesis should be read as historical narrative rather than myth or allegory.
Key Points
- Genesis presents itself as historical narrative from beginning to end
- The text provides no markers to separate myth from history
- Jesus referenced Adam and Eve as historical figures (Matthew 19:4-6)
- The apostles, including Paul, treated Genesis events as historical fact
- Extraordinary events at creation would naturally have extraordinary tellings
- The challenge isn't the text's credibility, but our tendency toward independent thinking over biblical thinking
