Just as egals get dinked by comps for “not holding to Scripture” so do I feel dinked in this area by Cheryl and Paula but I find that such terminology does not advance the discussion between egals and comps and between young earthers and old earthers. The first thing is to ASSUME both are trying to be faithful and not express dinks.

Don, I already expressed my belief that nobody is doubting scripture here nor accusing the other side of such. Can you point to something I said that indicates otherwise? There was surely a great misunderstanding here.

What I have actually said is that I believe your approach to interpretation is inconsistent. I asked for an explanation of how Adam and Eve can be considered real and literal while the days of creation can be called allegory, but so far no such explanation has been given. I didn’t demand it but instead left it for another time.

If saying such things is perceived as a personal attack, once again we cannot communicate. And FWIW, I could turn around and accuse you of making a false accusation, but I won’t, because Christians need to learn how to separate the person from the argument. Until we all do, all such conversations will deteriorate into catfights.
