Genesis Story – Myth or History?
By Ken Ham
Can a person be a Christian and believe that Genesis is only symbolic? I know there are many Christians who say Genesis isn‘t history. But, they need to understand how inconsistent they really are.
If Christians don‘t accept Genesis as literal history, they‘ve actually destroyed the foundation of the Gospel they believe in. You see, ultimately, ALL Christian doctrine is founded in the Book of Genesis.
The doctrines of marriage, clothing and sin are dependent on the literal events of Genesis. It also explains the origin of people groups. The prediction of a Redeemer is in Genesis 3.
If Christians don‘t accept Genesis as literal history, they have no basis for their faith. When we understand the salvation message about Jesus Christ coming as a babe in the manger to eventually die on the Cross of Calvary for our sins, and being raised from the dead so we can spend eternity with Him – this is all true because of Genesis.
Satan knows that to destroy Genesis is to destroy the foundational book of the Bible.
