Doctrine and Genesis

an animation of coming illustrations
that build on the 'Doctrine and Genesis' illustration.
Psalm 11:3 declares that 'if the foundations be destroyed, what can the
righteous do?' The book of Genesis is foundational to the rest of the
Bible. Using building blocks, this illustration shows people that the
book of Genesis is the foundational block that all other Christian doctrine
is built upon. .
If you ask people to name any Biblical doctrines of theology that are
not directly or indirectly founded in the book of Genesis, they will not
be able to find any! Every single Biblical doctrine is ultimately-directly
or indirectly-founded in the book of Genesis, and particularly its first
eleven chapters. In other words, Genesis 1-11 is the history that is foundational
to the rest of the Bible, and thus all Christian doctrine.
Of course, this also means that if someone wants to destroy Christian
doctrine, the best way is to try to attack the foundational book of beginnings.
If people can relegate Genesis 1-11 to mythology or metaphor, then there
is no real history upon which Christian doctrine can be founded.
Because the meaning of anything is dependent upon its origin, the meaning
of any particular doctrine is also dependent upon its origin-i.e., its
real history. Thus, Genesis is a very important book-it's vital to the
whole of what Christianity is all about. One of the reasons that many
people can't defend or explain their doctrine is because they don't believe
and understand the book of Genesis, particularly the first eleven chapters.
Believing and understanding the book of Genesis is prerequisite to an
understanding of God and His relationship to man-and to all Christian
doctrine.
Psalm 11:3 can be used as a verse to apply
to this. If the foundation of a house is destroyed, then the structure
collapses. Likewise, if the foundations of Christian doctrine in Genesis
1:11 are destroyed, then ultimately the entire structure will collapse.
