I’m a Biblical Creationist

Yesterday I shared that I don’t want to be called a young earth creationist. Why is that? Well, because the ultimate issue isn’t about the age of the earth. It’s about biblical authority! Will we start with man’s word or God’s Word?

So what do I call myself? Well, a biblical creationist. This puts the emphasis where it belongs—on the Word of God! You see, there’s only two options. Either we start with God’s Word and interpret the evidence through that lens, or we ignore God’s Word and we start with man’s ideas. Every position on creation that compromises God’s Word starts from outside the Bible—with man’s word. And that’s dangerous!
