The NXR Podcast - DAILY TRUTH - Theistic Evolution Is A Heresy

God created the earth not only in six days, but six literal 24-hour days. God created Adam and Eve, but he created them over millions and millions of years. God didn t do it over six days. He did it over a thousand years. And through sin, the whole human race is now plagued with death.

00:00:25.560 before joshua commanded the sun and the moon to stand still and lengthen the literal time of this

00:00:35.500 day there has never been another day like that since and there never has been a day before that

00:00:40.380 every day before this day and after that day has been a normal day so to read the bible say hey

00:00:48.080 that's a day that's 24 hours 24 hours 24 hours 24 hours genesis 1 and 2 a thousand years 0.94

00:00:53.720 is ridiculous. That's not how we read the Bible. It's a day. It has always been a day. God created 0.51

00:01:01.660 the earth not only in six days, but six literal 24-hour days. I believe that that is the proper

00:01:07.820 position, and if we get the beginning of the story, that is the biblical narrative, if we get the

00:01:12.560 beginning wrong, we'll get everything else wrong as well. The beginning matters. One of the reasons

00:01:17.960 that it matters, just for the record, one of the problems with theistic evolution, which I do believe

00:01:23.320 is not just off, but I believe is a heresy. I believe that it ultimately is an enemy of the

00:01:29.720 gospel of Jesus Christ. One of the reasons why theistic evolution is a problem is because,

00:01:35.560 and it's both most basic fundamental assertion, what it insists is that ultimately sin is not

00:01:43.520 the cause of death, but the death is actually ordained and orchestrated by God himself long

00:01:51.540 before sin entered the world, long before people were even created, Adam and Eve, death is actually,

00:01:57.580 it originates not with the sin of man rebelling against God and the good creation that he had

00:02:03.180 made, but actually death is orchestrated and it originates with God himself, and death is God's

00:02:09.640 tool by which he makes man. The basic thing that you need to understand about evolution is this,

00:02:15.280 you have two happy, healthy people standing tall and proud on top of a pile of millions and

00:02:22.580 millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of skulls. Dead. Right? How did

00:02:28.800 people come about? Death, death, death, death, death, death, death. Homo erectus, he didn't make

00:02:33.780 it. Lots, lots of them dead. Right? Homo this and Homo that and Homo, they're all dead. And so

00:02:40.340 God created Adam and Eve, but he created them over millions and millions and millions of years

00:02:45.180 and it's not just time. That's not the only issue, but he didn't just do it over millions and millions

00:02:49.960 of years. He did it over millions and millions and millions of death, dead bodies again and again

00:02:56.160 and again and again. So what brought death into the world? The sin of man? Is God's word true?

00:03:03.240 That the day you eat of it, the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the day you eat

00:03:07.300 of it, you shall surely die? Well, according to theistic evolution, God is a liar. Sin is not 0.99

00:03:13.260 what introduced death, but God actually introduced death. Death, to use a turn of phrase, death was

00:03:20.600 alive and well long before sin ever happened, long before Adam and Eve ever were made in the first

00:03:27.220 place. And that's one thing in Genesis 1 and 2. It's already problematic enough, but when we cross

00:03:32.340 reference later on with the apostolic writings in the New Testament picking up on the created order

00:03:37.980 and the Genesis narrative, namely, I think of Romans chapter 5 and the Apostle Paul.

00:03:43.560 Paul says, underneath the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, God's infallible word,

00:03:48.000 he says that through one man's sin, all died. So too, through one man's righteousness, that is

00:03:55.060 Jesus Christ, we live. Well, ultimately, all that is flipped on its head. We didn't die because of

00:04:03.700 adam as a federal head representing all his posterity all of humanity and his choice to

00:04:09.080 commit cosmic treason and rebel against god and through his sin that introduced death and the

00:04:14.860 whole human race is now plagued under the curse with death and jesus as the second and final adam

00:04:20.620 reverses the curse so that we might have new life and eternal life through faith in him no

00:04:25.520 that's not it if if death didn't enter the world by one man's sin namely adam then then you're not

00:04:32.920 just you're not just dealing with the creation narrative and how god made the world you're

00:04:38.020 dealing with the gospel of jesus christ to embrace theistic evolution is ultimately to deny the

00:04:45.020 gospel it is to deny the gospel so six literal days death entered the world by one man and his

00:04:54.460 sin and not millions and millions and millions and millions of years before that
