Rational Faith

Misguided attacks by evolutionists
 

Those who deny God's activity in the creation routinely try to kill any evidence that originates from the Bible.


 

A sobering thought for anyone who considers it seriously.

7.  A little Christian theology is needed here: Jesus said "I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it." Matt 16.18
The Church (capital C) is a collection of all those with saving faith in Jesus
The church (smalll c) is the local church, or a collection of local churches, or the physical building, or a number of other related concepts other than the collection of those who believe and are saved by faith and kept by the indwelling Spirit.
