Paula,
It looks like your comment was coming in at the same time as I was writing my comment.

If I said that you only saw what you want to see, that would have been a wrong way to say it as it would come across as if I know your motives and I certainly do not. If this is what I said, then I ask your forgiveness. It is not up to me to judge heart motives.

Having said this, I have been feeling like Don is promoting the old earth view and not just interacting with my argument. I have not removed any link because I do want to steer clear of controlling the conversation. This is a place to speak up and say what we think without having to have someone control as long as the comments are respectful. Yet when a view is promoted that I believe contradicts some very important principles of scripture, I have to speak up. Yet I will not close my ears to the argument. I will challenge the view by the scriptures and I will listen carefully for the answers so see if it is I who err. But if someone misses out on my argument and is influenced by old earth because of my own blog, then would it not be right for me to feel bad? Would I not be to blame like I have missed out in providing a solid rebuttal using the scriptures? I do welcome any one to try to refute me, but it does make me nervous when there is no refutation of my view, just a challenge to read up on the other side where the other side gives a point of view that has no opportunity to be challenged because it is not interactive.

I hope this is understandable. I will be out of the office for a week, but I will be working on finishing the next post that I am already well on the way to putting on line. When I get a chance I will pop in here to read the comments and respond to as many as I can.

I have great love for you all, whether you accept my view or not. The fact that all of you read what I have to say is such a blessing to me. Thank you!!!
