Exodus From The Church

National surveys for years have shown that younger people are walking away from the church… Both Catholic and Protestant– why?

Even many older people who used to attend church are now walking away from it–– why?

Today, both young and old have lost confidence in the Bible, and therefore the church. Without the Bible, Jesus becomes just another famous historical figure whose words are imposing, but not seen as absolute truth. In the absence of absolute truth, society may continue to celebrate traditions, such as Easter and Christmas, but at same time the culture adopts popular positions such as evolution, many paths to God, gay marriage, euthanasia, humanistic based social justice, abortion, and quote “recreationaldrug use— all un-biblical.

Even so, the same surveys show that most people still claim to be “spiritual,” believing in God in some form, and believing in some kind of life after death— they just can’t define it.

 

Two things have affected our trust in the Bible.

  1. For over 1000 years both Jewish and Christian leaders have argued over the two creation accounts, thus eroding the very foundation of the Bible— Genesis, (is one of them wrong? Can they be blended together? Why are they so different?)

And,

  1. This disagreement has grown exponentially since the time of Darwin, resulting in scientific “theories” of naturalism replacing the creative act of God, further eroding trust in the Bible and the two creation stories.

Science elevates “theories” to truth, and ignoring evidence which disagrees with these “theories”. At the same time, government schools diminish the Bible, treating it as fables written by men, not truth, even though very detailed but filled prophecies actually prove “yes prove” the Bible’s supernatural origin.

Ironically, God’s story in Genesis is easy to understand, even for children, if presented correctly. Theologians will separate themselves from many old traditions when they are equipped with a correct biblical understanding of the two creations. And, students of the Bible can finally resolve other issues which the church has argued about for centuries (such as predestination, and original sin).

I have written two books which address these two areas of confusion and disagreement. Both of these books can be seen on our website— Target Truth Ministries:

  • Science, Origins, & Ancient Civilizations— Scientific Evidence Withheld from School Textbooks – This book deals with all facts of science and age, from astronomy to genealogy, fossils, dinosaurs, and DNA etc., as well as taking a look at the evidence surrounding ancient civilizations and age.
  • Eden to Evil – This book addresses evidence for correct biblical understanding of the two creation accounts (Eden and the Seven-Day), as well as other issues concerning the first 11 chapters of Genesis, thus clearing up the understandings and arguments from both within and without the Christian community.
