Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee offer thoughts on the Creation/Evolution debate, after reading the book Confronting Old Testament Controversies by Tremper Longman III.
Creation
A difficult aspect of being able to discuss different perspectives on Genesis 1-11, is reckoning with the concept of death before the introduction of sin.
Wokeism has been directly affected by the difficulties caused by contemporary theological debates involving Genesis 1-11, Creationism, and Theistic Evolution. An insecurity on the part of many leaders and teachers, to permit difficult questions to be asked and discussed, has caused many to find liberal and progressive communities where more of an open discussion is allowed.
How can we move to having a better informed view of some the matters of early Genesis?
I have heard that there is some kind of controversy concerning the genealogical lists of Genesis 5 and 11. Can you explain this?
What is the Messianic position on Creationism, or the basic orientation found to Genesis chs. 1-11?
J.K. McKee of Messianic Apologetics discusses some of the different literary and scientific approaches which are witnessed to Genesis chs. 1-11.
J.K. McKee of Messianic Apologetics discusses some of the reactions that he has witnessed to the recent discovery of an ancient basket in Israel, dated at 10,000 years old.
J.K. McKee of Messianic Apologetics responds to three categories of questions: Tanach (OT), Apostolic Scriptures (NT), and theology/Biblical Studies.
1. What do you think is the best way to facilitate a plural discussion on views for Genesis 1-11?
2. I have noticed a trend in the Torah movement away from a pre-millennial reading of the Book of Revelation.
3. Why does your ministry not host its own local congregation or fellowship?
