Does your theology matter? Is it a knotty step-child?

88 Reasons
Why the Rapture Could be in 1988 by Edgar Whisenant (d.
2001) predicted that Jesus would return by
Rosh-Hashanah of 1988 (SEP 11 to SEP 13).
A whopping 4.5 million copies were sold and 300K copies were given to U.S.
pastors:

<< Rob "Holmes" Bell Questions
#VirginBirth ?? >>
Bell (b. 1970), author of Velvet Elvis, said this about the doctrine of the Trinity: “It is a
spring, and people jumped for thousands of years without it. It was added
later. We can take it out and examine it. Discuss it, probe it, question it. It
flexes, and it stretches.” Bell says he
holds to Trinitarian doctrine and the Virgin Birth, but he also claims it's OK
to question those doctrines - huh ??

Speaking of springs ... in 1955, Elvis performed in Big
Spring, Texas, the home of Howard College (est. 1945). I was Assistant Mathematics Professor there
for eleven years. Dub Dickerson, Chuck
Lee and Gene Kay joined the headliner:

<< Just If I'd Read NT Wright Right >>
I greatly admire NT Wright's case for the Resurrection:
https://winteryknight.com/2009/03/24/quick-overview-of-nt-wrights-case-for-the-resurrection/
However, this statement from What Saint Paul Really Said is unjustified:
"Justification" in the first century was not
about how someone might establish a relationship with God. It was about God’s
eschatological definition, both future and present, of who was, in fact, a
member of his people.
https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/interview-with-john-piper-about-the-future-of-justification-a-response-to-n-t-wright
This seems to contradict Paul's own words ...
"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have
peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have
obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we
boast in hope of the glory of God. ... and hope does not put to shame, because
the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit
who was given to us" (Rom. 5:1,2,5, LSB).
<< Brazos Press Brazenly Blasts Biblical Basics

Even a child of three-years-old can learn the catechism:
Q: What is the
work of creation?
A: The work of
creation is God’s making all things of nothing, by the word of his
power, in the space of six days, and all very good.
-- Westminster
Shorter Catechism (Question #9):

However, Brazos Press has thrown out a tome that denies
the Historical Adam (pp. 49 & 50 in Dr. Ecklund's book), pushes BioLogos and
the views of Francis Collins - former director of the National Institutes of
Health in Bethesda, Maryland:
https://www.pdcnet.org/jis/content/jis_2021_0033_0001_0173_0175
Francis Sellers Collins (b. 1950) claims that, "If
the tenets of young earth creationism were true, basically all of the sciences
of geology, cosmology, and biology would utterly collapse. ... The tragedy of
young-earth creationism is that it takes a relatively recent and extreme view
of Genesis, applies to it an unjustified scientific gloss, and then asks
sincere and well-meaning seekers to swallow this whole, despite the massive
discordance with decades of scientific evidence from multiple disciplines. Is
it any wonder that many sadly turn away from faith concluding that they cannot
believe in a God who asks for an abandonment of logic and reason? Again from
Augustine ..." (p. 151):

#Augustine held to a young earth.
What would Rich Mullins say?
When He rolls up His sleeves
He ain't just putting on the ritz
There's thunder in His footsteps
And lightning in His fists
And the Lord wasn't joking
When He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason
That He shed His blood
His return is very close
And so you better be believing that
Our God is an awesome God

In case you missed it, it was #FatherAdam &
#MotherEve who were kicked out of #Paradise (Gen. 3:20-24).
