The Bible is Wrong

Okay, so the title might be a bit misleading. I still believe the bible. But I'm beginning to believe it differently. You may know I am in a biology class at school, which means we learn about evolution, and a bit of the big bang theory. Now, a  year ago I would've said that both were wrong without a second thought. However, I've also been talking, no, debating Christianity in things called "communities" on an app I got. (Shout out to all mis amigos out there!) Both of these combined got me thinking.
There is a lot of evidence out there for both Evolution and the Big Bang theory. Obviously, without a time machine, we can't say for sure. It would be like trying to prove that there isn't any God. You can't ever say for sure. But anyway, My point is, these theories are looking less and less like theories, and more like fact.
So here is my theory. God created nature right? So he created the laws of nature. So it's only logical that he would follow His own laws, right? The Hebrew word for day, "yom", can also mean an age, not just a twenty four hour day. Therefore the six "days" of creation could be...oh I don't know....4.5 billion years? So picture this:
God makes an atom. Then He explodes it. BOOM. Big Bang. He then causes a chain reaction that starts creating stars, and galaxies. He keeps it going, and eventually brings into being one specific planet. (Which He's been planning to use all along.) Then He mixes all the right molecules together to make DNA and RNA and all that fun stuff, which, long story short, creates life. After that, over billions of years he (with His own hand) uses evolution to form what he had in mind all along. And when humanity is ready, He gives us the final part of "His image". A soul. I believe the rest of the story is written down somewhere....


Keep in mind this is just a theory. It has it's flaws. But it currently makes sense to me, so say something about it to rip it into shreds.
Thanks!
 Adios.

The Key to Freedom

Sad as it is, the truth is every person you have more than 3 conversations with will lie to you at least once. You probably get lied to 50 times a day. That's 350 times a week. 18250 times a year. So how are you supposed to know whats true? There's a book for that. it's called the Holy Bible. I've got a couple truths from there, but as Herbert Agar says, "the truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear." So I pray your eyes are opened just a crack, to get you out of comfort and into freedom.
1. Lets start with a big one. The devil. I'm assuming you just thought of a red guy with horns who sits in a lava pit and tries to get people to jump down with him. That's wrong. Yeah he wants people to come into hell, (that's the next one), but the lie is the middle part. First, the devil is not  in hell! He is "the prince of this world" (John 14:30). And he isn't sitting! The bible says he is "prowling like a lion" (1 Peter 5:8) and that he comes "to kill and destroy" (John 10:10). So never let your guard down, because as soon as you do he'll be attacking you!2. I'll get straight to it, when you die, you will either go to heaven or hell. I'm going to heaven. Are you? Have you truly put your life in God's hands, and trusted His son as your savior? If so, you are going to heaven no matter what. If not, please at least talk to someone about it! I'd be willing to talk, or a pastor, anyone who will accurately portray Him! But if you are a Christian, can you really live with keeping quiet? I once heard an atheist say, "if you truly believe that anyone who doesn't trust in Jesus will go to hell, how much to you have to hate them to not do everything to get them to see Him? Because if you don't, you are letting them sentence themselves to eternal torment.

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
-John 8:32
