We have a vast wealth of scientific understanding of nature from subatomic particles to building block of life in our DNA, complexity does not mean a creator, been ignorant means you yourself do not understand how something so complicated can come about naturally but science does, it can even demonstrate it, nature is full of interacting particles that over billions of years are able to organise into complex structures and compounds, we understand how the chemistry of this works, we can even create synthetic life now or witness evolution in real time.

[@kenkosch8546]

I also attended Catholic School in the 60’s and 70’s. It is true we did not have Bibles in our class rooms but the Baltimore Catechism is filled with quotes to back up the lessons. When Vatican ll was pushed on all of us a new modern catechism was introduced that was to pave the way for the New Modern Age, with a new mass called the Novus Ordo (new order of the Mass). Thankfully my parents could see the destruction and we separated ourselves along with many others to keep the Faith as it was before Vatican ll. The Catholic Faith is strong and alive but has returned to a remnant few. We are all on a journey to a better home above. During this voyage there will be rough storms and the way unclear. Finding Christ, the whole Christ is a real trip. He knows what is in our hearts and the struggles we each face. The knowledge or lack of it, He also considers. There are those who have not the true faith but their love of God put to shame many who do. A consoling teaching of the Church is on Invincilble Ignorance. Where a person is unable to come to a full knowledge of the Faith because he is hindered by circumcisions of his own life. Some are born to worldly parents and never even heard of Him. Others born to parents who only know of Him through false teachers. Take the Mormons for example. There Jesus is totally different from what all other Christian Churches believe. They do not teach that he is God, The Second Person of the Trinity. That said, many Mormons live very edifying lives. They live good lives but are still obliged to seek the truth but are hindered by the error of Mormonism. The truth is Christ only founded one church but like her founder has always been ripped apart. It is an historical fact. For example: What happened in England in the 15 and 1600’s. There was much corruption especially among the clergy. This gave such scandal that men rose up against her and started their own Churches. Called the Protestant Reformation. At the same time others rose up and reformed the clergy called the Counter-reformation. Christ did promise He would be with the Church to the end of times but also warned us that towards the end when He returns, “would He even find faith on earth (Luke 17 and Matthew 24) because of false teachers. I do not argue about religious believes. We all struggle to know the truth. There are more churches today then there are gas stations. Each holding there own interruption of the Bible. Strike the Shepherd and the sheep will be scatted. Seek and you shall find. His Church will endure to the end of time but the numbers will be few.

@@MRobert2l A fool believes science always has the answer. The opposite is true. It's part of the scientific method to question and prove out your or other's theories. All new theories are met with great suspicion until the last 150 years or so and especially in the last 60 years. Big Bang and Evolutionary theories have not even closely done that, virtually no testing of their hypothesis because they can't test it! Every time contradictory evidence arises they tweak their theory and it has become a mess just like the Greek theory of planet rotation. It was science gospel for hundreds of years until we learned different. Then it was pitched. It's no different today. Current science is handled like religion, not science. They have more faith in their theories than many Christians have faith in Jesus Christ! You are punished severely for questioning current "scientific" Dogma. Like global warming. It's no longer science, it's now group think religion, a kind of cult. Nope, I understand science just fine. I was a scientist until I retired.

I'm inclined to say much of the Church switched views because in large part it has lost it's confidence/belief in the sovereignty of God in salvation - like that professor saying "if we take a literal view, the Gospel may become incredible to intellectuals." According to 1 Corinthians 1, the gospel is intrinsically incredible to intellectuals - that's the point. It isn't by wisdom or proofs that one comes to believe, it's by the power of God manifested through the foolishness of preaching. Without God's sovereignty in calling the elect, it becomes our job to try and coax and persuade and prove people into the kingdom of heaven. Loss of that sovereign view led to an emphasis on Philosophical proofs in the early church (e.g., Justin Martyr allegorizing of much of the old testament), and loss of that view in the enlightenment era has led to emphasis on scientific proofs.

Or the merge from Rome's pagan faith into christianity was not Intended to glorify the Lord, but rather the European monarchy and the papacy! Intended on infiltrating the young and up & coming faith known at the time as the Natsarine or the(Nazarene) because for 300 years, they failed to extinguish them! So they put on the guise of Christianity, but in the night and in secret, to this very day they still worship their pagan god(s), who is Legion, and Satan! This is why the Catholic church has always been caught and accused of pedophilia! And it gets worse then molestations! Sacrificing babies all the way up to adults, torturing them and drinking their blood and getting high from their adrenaline that was released during their torture!

Where did you get this heretical teaching? Jesus died for all men. God calls all men. The "elect" are the Jews. God's "sovereignty" is above your pay grade, obviously.

Believers in Christ do NOT have to poke and prod people, and we don't need to prove anything to anyone! We simply speak the truth of who Jesus IS, and what he DID when he conquered DEATH for ALL MEN, and that he secured salvation for ALL MEN!

[@BrianJohnson-lx3zd]

@@AmyB1961 Predominantly from Romans 9 and John 6, though when you accept God’s sovereignty in salvation you start to see the doctrine lacing the whole Bible. You are right to say, “Just believe,” but the question is how or why did you start to believe? Before you believed, weren’t you perishing in your sins? But “the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God…For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are *called* , both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. (1 Cor 1:18, 22-24) God calls all men in the sense that all are commanded to repentance and belief, but that’s distinct from being drawn to Christ, as in John 6 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.” (John 6:44)

[@AmyB1961]

@Brian Johnson You are mixing things up. Try reading the bible, and praying about what you are reading without ANY influence from another man. You say a lot of words, but have no real idea of what salvation even is. Apparently. Salvation was made possible because Jesus conquererd Death. When a person believes on Jesus Christ as Savior FROM Death, they are translated INTO the Kingdom of LIGHT and LIFE. Jesus IS that Life. It is like stepping through a door...a man becomes a NEW CREATURE, and is now living IN LIGHT. A saved-from-Death man is no longer who he was. When you understand what salvation IS, THEN you will no longer have to fill your mind with many words of supposed wisdom. You will be free to live in the peace that passes (human) understanding. You will be raised UP into LIFE eternal, and KNOW who you are in Christ. Jesus shed his blood, which IS LIFE, for all men, and secured salvation for all: past, present, and future. His free gift of LIFE is not just for a few. Salvation from Eternal Death TO Eternal Life is available to anyone, at any time, no matter the depths of darkness and sin they currently reside in. Jesus came to bind the Darkness forever, and to RECLAIM what he created for Himself....because of LOVE.

Most Theological Seminaries teach theistic evolution now. They have no confidence in the power of the Holy Spirit to convict of sin and bring to repentance through teaching the truth. The gospel was always meant to be an offense to every culture, not an intellectual convenience.

[@dasan9178]

Why did the Church switch from a creation viewpoint to evolution? There’s an old sort-of joke (with a lot of truth) that when a man is made a bishop, the first thing they do (before he assumes the responsibilities of office) is to remove his spine. That’s ONE reason. Another reason is gnostic infiltration, which began with slow careful insertion of gnostics into the ranks of priests and bishops, which over time picked up speed and strength…leading to the tangled mess we have today. Evolution wasn’t originally based on science but philosophy and Gnosticism. Science attempting to prove it was added later. I was a teen at a Methodist HS when it was introduced to our class as an unprovable Theory. The very next month, that same teacher announced evolution THEORY was a fact so obviously true that we must accept it without question. Like many others, I finally concluded without a shred of evidence that perhaps evolution and creation could work together. I abruptly returned to my young earth creationist roots when I realized one day that the Genesis account of creation is the Bible’s thesis. If false, everything that follows would likely also be false. But if true, it lends support to the miraculous accounts that follow, especially the later birth, passion, death and resurrection of Jesus. It comes down to what you believe about God. Is the creation account too hard for God? Is ANYTHING too hard for Him? It’s really the most critical question. Difficult though it sounds, God’s first miraculous act is followed later by a much greater act of self-creation. Our God, a triune being so large and powerful the universe itself could not contain Him, contained Himself within a single cell inside a Woman (Mary), which He then combined with one of her eggs in order to become an infant growing within her and be born of her as the promised God-man, Jesus Christ. Only one as divinely powerful as God could create His own mother and then arrange to be born of her. This second incredible act of creation (through an impossible act of extreme miniaturization) was far greater than His initial act of creation. The more I look into the science of what He did, the more astounded I am by it. It’s why while others are marveling outwardly at what they see around them, I marvel inwardly at His second far greater act of creation and the even greater implications for us.

[@drewjorgensen]

To minimize the accuracy of Scripture is to agree that we have an inferior God. God is more than capable of creating the Universe as His Word says He did. God is more than capable of preserving the integrity and accuracy of His written Word over the centuries. It is our job to share the awesomeness of our God with the lost, not make His truth palatable to their lifestyle.

BOTTOM LINE: Titus 1:9-14 9 He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. 10 For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group. 11 They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach-and that for the sake of dishonest gain. 12 One of Crete’s own prophets has said it: “Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.” 13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith Romans 16:17-18 17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. 1 Corinthians 5:11-13 11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people. 12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you." 2 Timothy 4:2-4 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables 2 John 9-11 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. Galatians 1:8-10 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. 1 Timothy 4:1-7 1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 2 Timothy 12-16 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness

Darwin was agnostic? “Although I did not think much about the existence of a personal God until a considerably later period of my life.”-Darwin.....Hummmm Note the way in which he favorably compares the “general laws” of Newtonian astronomy with arbitrariness of special divine action: “For as well might it be said that, although the planets move in courses conformably to the law of gravity, yet we ought to attribute the course of each planet to the individual act of the will of the Creator. It is in every case more conformable with what we know of the government of this earth, that the Creator should have imposed only general laws. As long as no method was known by which races [biological types] could become exquisitely adapted to various ends, whilst the existence of species was thought to be proved by the sterility of their offspring, it was allowable to attribute each organism to an individual act of creation. But in the two former chapters it has (I think) been shown that the production, under existing conditions, of exquisitely adapted species, is at least possible.”

However, under Christ (who is our SABBATH) God’s spiritual people (the church), worshipped everyday, but gathered on the FIRST day of the week (Sunday) to worship collectively-just as Acts 20:7 tells us. To call people back under the Old Testament Sabbath, as a requirement, is to place yourself under the WHOLE Law, ... and make yourself a slave to it-leading to certain spiritual death. Come to Christ, who rose from the dead on the First Day, to bring a New Creation in which He dwells (the ‘temple’ of the Christian heart)!

The Bible lacks detail about life, but modern science puts the lie to evolution. There was no LUCA. Microbes did *_not_* evolve to man. Learn about proteins. The Bible doesn't mention them, but they reveal evolution is junk science.

Hey I'm Apostolic and we still believe in the creation!

Do you believe in the doctrine of the Trinity?

[@cheebawobanu]

Churches pander by "tickling ears" so as not to offend and gather parishioners. Jesus came to divide.

[@davidpostma9862]

It is disappointing that the church of Christ cannot grasp the results if one believes in evolution. Is Jesus in his human nature evolving? He’s 2000 years old. If so he cannot be a substitutionary atonement. Is he splitting off to become another creature? In glory will we evolve and split to become different creatures? Animals perhaps. Ridiculous. The truth is that He is the firstborn of many brethren forever and presents himself before the throne a perfect sacrifice for the redeemed forever!!! Thank you Dr. Kelly!!!!

The Catholic Church does not want the people to believe in Our Creator. This is the reason why they made the Gregorian Calendar instead of us using Our Creator's Calendar.

Lovely interview. Gracious man

[@mccalltrader]

Wow..afraid that the Bible truth would upset the gospel truth...its all Gods word...let him figure out how to deal with the naysayers...just speak truth with compassion and let the chips fall where they may

[@umvhu]

If creation is not true then God has to be a liar, or does man's imagination fall short of God's wisdom? EDIT Christ said "You must believe". To my mind evolution theory contains too many inconsistencies to be coherent.

[@johnshilling2221]

I must be one of the fools since I believe in the literal account of creation, as put forth in Genesis and various Biblical scriptures. I don't think that I am to the level of 'confounding the wise', but I have been a great fan of Science and science fiction for six decades. With the exception of the medical community, no other group of people, (scientists) have so often said "We used to think, but now we know!" What mainstream "scientists" believe is updated more often than Windows. Far too much of what "Science Says" is nothing but the opinions of some scientists. Science is supposed to be a process, a method of investigating and explaining observations about our reality. Conclusions need to be tested through experimentation. Those tests need to be repeatable before the conclusions can be offered as proof. Assertions, no matter how plausibly they are presented, are not proofs. Somehow "Science" has morphed into a being that "Tells Us" this and "Tells Us" that. And many people believe what "Science Says"... I'm not smart enough to get my head around everything that "Science" is always trying to tell me, especially when it is filtered through and interpreted by the media and our secular Departments of Education. I am very grateful for this inability. Dealing with the constant updates would be far too exhausting...

You can believe whatever you want but so can I. And if we carry on like this we'll be fine but if we start to bully each other because of those choices surely we will ruin both of our lives.

[@Unborn-Lives-Matter]

Wow, a lot of commentators here are trying to defend their apostate churches. Really sad. But we were warned this would happen. See 2nd Thes. 2:3. Don't take any church's word for it. Do your own study, expand your resources, obtain a transliteration to help in your study. Pray before your study for the guidance of the Holy Spirit and discernment and watch videos like this one and perhaps Dr. Michael S. Heiser (though I believe he occasionally overthinks his studies and perhaps gets it wrong), Jack Hibbs, Barry Stagner and more. But don't take man's word for it. Study God's word. Be discerning and question everything. God can take it!

[@patri1689]

As a traditional Catholic, I've to admit I love these series. All Church fathers mentioned here were Catholics and if we are going to go back and accept their interpretation of Genesis, then traditional Catholicism is in solid foundation.

Ya, but then I would have to work for my salvation rather than work it out.

"Katholikos" - general, universal - not Roman Catholic.

[@anomalousviewer3164]

@@BrianJohnson-lx3zd yes the universal Church, and also Catholic derived from the Greek word also means complete. That's why the descriptive word was used to distinguish between the Church with Apostolic succession to Apostle Peter founded by Jesus, and other non authentic churches.

[@BrianJohnson-lx3zd]

@@anomalousviewer3164 What kind of Apostolic Succession? Succession of what, from who, to who? You made the assumption succession was from Peter, but Irenaeus believed succession was from all the Apostles (Irenaeus - Adv Her, Book 3) Irenaeus, Cyprian, and Chrysostom taught that all bishops in all places were successors of Peter and/or the other Apostles. [Irenaeus -Adv Her, Book 3, Cyprian - On the Unity of the Church, section 4, Chrysostom - Homily on Matthew (#54), section 3] Tertullian seems to have denied succession altogether (On Modesty, chapter 21). And what was inherited in this succession? To Augustine and Origen it was a succession of faith and profession. [Augustine - Retractiones, book 1, chapter 20.1 and also - On Matthew, sections 1-4. Origen -Commentary on Matthew, book 12, chap 10-14] To Cyprian is was a succession of power and authority which all the Apostles shared and passed along to all bishops in all the world (On the Unity of the Church, section 4). Be careful you don’t import a late-developed Roman Catholic meaning to terms like “Apostolic Succession” which the early church never professed.

[@anomalousviewer3164]

@@BrianJohnson-lx3zd you assumed I only meant Apostle Peter.

[@vilicus77]

Why did the church switch--because they were dragged kicking and praying into the 21st century.

[@vilicus77]

​@Jonathan Sarfati Not even close. It is a fact that the the church responded to scientific evidence. The title of the video demonstrates the reality that theistic believers within Christianity shifted toward evolution. They did this because the overwhelming consensus in the 21st Century exerts a power that changes perspective and causes people to reevaluate the evidence.

[@macmac1022]

Short answer, greed. You are talking about an organization that has more wealth then many nations of the world. Like a business would do when losing customers, change things. These people are just doing the same thing, trying to keep followers. Also why they have tax exception, just more greed. Jun 13, 2018 - An average church usually makes around 200k a year. However these numbers have been declining due to a decline in church membership numbers.

[@RJMoser]

I don't know many truly Christian Churches who had switched to the evolution theory... but I wouldn't be surprised if the Catholic Church has.

[@cholenahumphrey7541]

Thank you for helping me figure this out.

[@philsimpson9508]

they stopped believing in creation because they had long before stopped believing in Jesus Christ, they had fashioned a god that would conform to their depraved minds and hearts. A believer bows to all things that are given in His word. The idea that a converted person can pick and choose what is acceptable in his depraved mind. This comes from a man who's faith he has generated rather than God given faith.

[@johnmichaelson9173]

People stopped believing in creation because it was demonstrably wrong. That doesn't mean that a person has rejected God.

[@melvinhunt6976]

Problem is, that seminaries are full of students who are there for a paycheck. I've been to seminary, and l don't believe everyone there feels, that they are called. To preach, or teach God's Word, should be a calling by the Holy Spirit!

[@trippwhitener9498]

God will not share His glory with anyone else. Evolution steals glory from God. Evolution claims we created ourselves, in other words we are our own god.

[@raulrola3449]

The Catholic Church does not want the people to believe in Our Creator. This is the reason why they promote a globe earth instead of a flat earth enclosed by the firmament.
