Some people read books to gain more insight, knowledge and hopefully wisdom; to increase their God-given understanding of the Word of God. Others read books to try and justify their own beliefs whatever those are. Since I am a pastor who doesn't know it all, I will take my chances that the Lord in His wisdom will lead me to some new understanding. Short creation or long creation? We are saved by grace through faith and when we have accepted that, I guess we can ask the Lord when we finally meet face-to-face. Thanks Logos for your pursuing to offer whatever is available to God's creation for our individual study! I wish I would have known about your services when I was younger!
