This address shows the ramifications of tampering with the clear and plain doctrine of creation, the effects of which have a marked bearing upon the truth of salvation. 1. The biblical doctrine of creation and the reliability of Scripture to teach us the way of salvation.
- The Scriptural doctrine of salvation can only be relied upon if Scripture as a whole is reliable. Other parts of Scripture, however, pre-suppose a literal rendering of Genesis chapters 1-3.
- Exodus 20 - the literal days of creation and the 4th commandment.
- The evolutionary theory, if imposed upon the text of Scripture overturns all the principles of biblical interpretation.
- The Scriptures indicate a belief in a literal Adam and Eve.
2. The biblical doctrine of creation and the salvation we need.
- Accountability to our Maker is fundamental to the biblical view of salvation.
- The bible attributes the fall of man to a literal covenant representative. The first and second Adam must both be literal. (Rom 5:12-21).
3. Evolution is a false religion opposed to the biblical doctrine of creation and salvation.
Romans 1 and man's inclination to idolatry following the fall - All false religion denies the true and living God - Evolution is an expression of false religious belief and man's desire to believe a lie, it should not be given the status of science for the idea that science can determine the origin of creation is unscientific.
