What is more difficult?

Posted by Terry Nelson on May 9th, 2008

 

To say, “get up and walk”…

Or to say, “your sins are forgiven you?”  (Luke 5:23)  Do you think our Lord’s hearers really understood what he meant when he said that?  Do you think we do?

On a totally different subject, what about this question?

What is easier to do… This?    “Then God said:  ‘Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness…’” - Genesis 1:26

Or this?    ““The formation of human beings necessitated a particular contribution by God, though it remains that their emergence was brought about by natural causes” of evolution, it said.” - God made pre-humans into people, Vatican newspaper says

Luke 5:23
View in: NAB NIV KJV NJB Vulg Greek
23Which is easier to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk?
Genesis 1:26
View in: NAB NIV KJV NJB Vulg LXX Hebrew
26And he said: Let us make man to our image and likeness: and let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts, and the whole earth, and every creeping creature that moveth upon the earth.

    This is an insightful post. I’ve been wondering who was gonna “say it first” re: reconciling the Adam & Eve story with the theory of evolution. After I die, I’m very much looking forward to finding out the secrets of our existence. Of course by then, I probably won’t care - LOL!

    But Jeron, wouldn’t it be hilarious if we found out that there never were any dinosaurs, that God just put the bones there for amusement? I lean toward Intelligent Design, but we don’t know for certain.
