It would be interesting to know how many people believe that God actually created every in 6 days 6-7000 years ago.
How much have the long ages concepts been used to attack God's Word? How many apologetic ministries have given us reasons to disbelieve?
WE MUST REMEMBER SATAN COMES AS ANGEL OF LIGHT…WHO EMPLOYS ALOT OF TRUTH POWER AND LIGHT (NEW AGE….the whole UN is a LUCIFERIAN agenda…theocracy…UNIVERSAL GOD….WITHOUT JESUS AS SAVIOR FOR SIN AND REDEMPTION AND REPENT ….
Just like satin HIS WORDS SOUND GOOD AND RESTORATIVE…..even life giving…eat of this and you will have all…
JESUS DID GIVE US AUTHORITY…but not of selfishness
Natasha’s clarity of thought and insightfulness is so impressive. I really enjoyed this interview and can’t wait to read her book.
Natasha thanks for your research on Progressive Christianity and Biblical Christianity which takes precedent over Progressive Christianity because it is based on God's Authoritative word of God. Keep up the good work.
Great show very educational on Secularism the World view as opposed to God's Authority and the infallible word of God we thank God for the freedoms we have on the North American Continent which allows us to Praise and Worship God the creator and Cherish our belief System in the 1 eternal God.
Ecclesiastes 3:15: “That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away.” The “natural man” cannot grasp that, for to him reality is based only on the evidence of the senses. The man of reason could justify the verse’s end, saying if it has any meaning then the writer must mean recurrence. The sun comes every day and the moon completes its cycle and the seasons come and go. If we took a picture of the universe today, the scientists can compute how long it will take to return to this point in the picture. So the intellectual man could justify the verse; but that is not what is meant, for it is addressed not to the man of reason or the man of sense, but to the man of Imagination. What is it all about? “That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been, and God seeks what has been driven away.”
Imagination is powerful, nothing new under the sun and repeated, Father and mother is temporal in flesh and blood like we all experience good and bad. The proper reading is spirit stories not of persons in secular history, Saul and David same story of Saul and Paul.
Faith plays a huge role in our views on all of this. That faith can only come from God! He is the one who opens our eyes to the truth of His Word. As the scriptures say… “faith comes from hearing, and hearing from the word of God”. We need to be praying that our family and friends who are questioning all these matters, will have the scales removed from their eyes so that they can see what is true!!!
"His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” — Matthew 3:12 ⚠️🔥
The viral blog piece that Natasha wrote in 2020 was a critical handhold for me, helping me more fully understand what I was hearing from the pulpit of my church at that time that troubled me deeply but which I didn’t yet fully understand. I am extremely grateful to her for that gift.
No such thing as Progressive Christian. If they're progressive they aren't Christian.
Natasha Crain, we must share the same brain.
Excelente, me gustó.
Getting ready to read, Faithfully Different… (just arrived in the mail). 🙂 Melissa Dougherty recommended Natasha’s books in a video over a year ago, which led me to such wonderful apologetic resources… So, very grateful!! Thankful for the work you both do! – Meridith
PS. The part regarding “free speech” and how reason is demonized… wow. Yes.
