@shawnriffraff: This is a deep thought and some people will understand EXACTLY what I’m talking about. Others won’t have the slightest clue. And ironically, some may demonstrate my point without even realizing it. Because sometimes what we call conviction is actually discomfort. And sometimes what we call defending the faith is really defending the certainty that made us feel safe. This conversation isn’t about losing faith. It’s about what happens when faith forces us to confront what we thought we knew. I think you’re grieving. #Deconstruction #ChristianTikTok #ReligiousTrauma #Theology #Pastor @TACA Church

Genesis 2 is the continuance of Genesis 1:1-2, it tells us this in genesis 2, how it says this is the account of the creation of the heavens and the earth. genesis chapter three is the sixth day. we know this because Genesis, 3:22 says Now, That man is like us knowing good from evil. What if he eats from the tree of life. this can also give reason to who was with God in the beginning, According to john, one, for it, says in him is life, and that life is the light of men. this would indicate Mankind was with God in the beginning through Mankind all things was created.

for me, deconstructing was the best thing I could have done. I've always struggled with the "common interpretation", so I was always frustrated when reading the bible, because it seemed so illogical and so unfair. Then one day I discover a podcast that tries to explain the bible going to the root and what the first readers would understand. That was a game changer for me. It was either deconstructing, or becoming atheist. So deconstruction saved my relationship with God

My faith has grown tremendously knowing that I can doubt, question, and even not know at all! And I'm grateful for people like you who help me articulate those thoughts, and affirm them.

As a former Christian, I resonate with this so much. Leaving my faith was so hard because I was conditioned to never question anything. It was very painful but the growth was so good for me

My brother you are an absolute beast… I am soooooo glad I came across your page. Thank you so very much for speaking truth the way you are speaking it. I have had discussions with so many for so long with a similar message as yours, only to be told that I don’t understand or that I am interpreting the bible wrong. Once again…. Thank you my brother.

I remember being a creationist. Wild times. I suppose not having taken any biology courses since junior high school made me an easy mark.

You can never grow if you do not change and change requires lamenting your past beliefs, your personal theology should be constantly growing and letting go of the pride that makes you believe you are the one in the right

and you didn't even touch on how some English translations literally change the verb tense of the Hebrew to harmonize Genesis 1 and Genesis 2...
