Teaching about the creation and fall of mankind as presents in Genesis 1 – 3 can present some difficulties for Bible teachers. We live in a world where evolution has been taught in public schools. Some religious circles add God to the equation — theistic evolution — removing the atheistic approach.
- Bible teachers will have students who have been indoctrinated with this belief system.
- Bible teachers themselves may have been indoctrinated with this evolutionary approach to life.
We Have Problems If We Don’t Hold to the Biblical Account of Creation
If we waver on this, we won’t hold to the inerrant, inspired, authoritative Word of God. We then won’t present to our students a God worthy of their all and a Gospel that makes a difference. If we don’t take God at His word in Genesis 1-3, then we’ll have other issues.
Wavering on the veracity of creation becomes a problem with the authority of God’s Word.
Believing in evolution leaves us with a problem with the God of the Bible.
Denying the literal, historical account in Genesis leads to a problem for the Gospel Message.
