Just Say No to Abuse Declaring War on Terrorism. This topic has been retired. Here are some brief thoughts about Genesis and history.
Genesis is written as historical narrative.
It is not written as myth or fable. To show that the New Testament writers, and Jesus Himself, considered Genesis to be historical, we can note that of over 30 Old Testament people and events referred to in the New Testament as historical, at least fifteen of these are taken from the first twelve chapters of Genesis. One cannot just sweep these away as unimportant. Jesus and the New Testament writers authenticated the Old Testament message and demonstrated why Genesis in particular is historically vital. Further, this would show that one cannot accept the New Testament witness without also accepting the Old Testament history.
