June 2. 00. 0): 8- 1. If we re- interpret God. For instance, a 1. A growing number of liberal Christians and scholars do not believe that Jesus rose bodily from the dead. But what could be the cause of such a slide into unbelief in a matter so vital and central to the Gospel, as the Resurrection? We suggest that one of the major reasons is that as people have compromised the book of Genesis with the idea of millions of years, and/or evolutionary concepts, increasing numbers have eventually consistently applied the same hermeneutic to the rest of the Bible. This has led to a mythologizing of the Word of God, an undermining of its absolute authority, and eventually often leads to a rejection of the orthodox Christian message. However, time and time again, we have found that the opposite is true. Compromising Genesis with man. It becomes a major stumbling block to people being receptive to God. Unbelievers are generally unimpressed when they see Christians clearly evading the obvious meaning of the beginning of their own book. Following is the sad account of the life of a once prominent and successful evangelist, his slide into unbelief and his rejection of Christianity. In 1. 99. 6, the book Farewell to God was published for all the world to see the author, Charles Templeton, claim: I oppose the Christian Church because, for all the good it sometimes does, it presumes to speak in the name of God and to propound and advocate beliefs that are outdated, demonstrably untrue, and often, in their various manifestations, deleterious to individuals and to society. As this story unfolds, you will see the devastating results of compromising man. Who is Charles Templeton? Fuelled by concern about the spiritual state of post- Depression youth, mass evangelism exploded onto the American scene in the 1. Thousands of young servicemen and civilians streamed to arenas to see the programs, which included preaching, music, and various acts. One of the leaders in this movement was a young man from Canada, Charles Templeton, born in 1. He was generally acknowledged to be the most versatile of the new young evangelists. Templeton soon rose to prominence, even surpassing another dynamic young preacher, Billy Graham. In 1. 94. 6, he was listed among those best used of God by the National Association of Evangelicals. As the pastor of the rapidly growing Avenue Road Church in Toronto, which he had started with only his family and a few friends, Templeton also became one of three vice- presidents of the newly- formed Youth For Christ International organization in 1. He then nominated his good friend, Billy Graham, to be field evangelist for the new ministry. Templeton, Graham, and a few others regularly spoke to thousands, winning many to Christ both in America and in Europe. Newspapers and magazines carried reports of his meetings informing readers he was winning 1. In Evansville, Indiana, the total attendance over the two week campaign was 9. Church attendance went up 1. However, despite his popularity and seeming success as an evangelist, all was not well with Charles Templeton. The more he read, the more he found he was beginning to question the essentials of the Christian faith, because he could no longer believe God. Resigning from the church he had pastored for several years, Templeton began, with special permission, his coursework at Princeton in 1. Rather than assuage his doubts by providing sound theological answers for the questions he had concerning the authority of the Bible, the historical veracity of Genesis and the deity of Christ, Princeton only served to increase his qualms. This is not surprising, considering the influences that had infiltrated Princeton through people like Charles Hodge and B. B. Warfield concerning one. For instance, Hodge, who accepted the millions of years and rejected literal creation- days, taught: It is of course admitted that, taking this account . However, he faced increasing health problems, specifically frequent chest pains. He visited a specialist in Pennsylvania who encouraged him, after finding nothing wrong with his heart, to clear up the conflict in his life. Charles Darwin, who started out in training to be an Anglican minister, ended up rejecting Christianity the more he believed in evolution. It has been said that inner conflict, because of knowing that evolution would wipe the idea of God from the minds of millions, contributed greatly to Darwin. As Templeton wrestled with the . This caused Graham as well to grapple with tough questions that shook the very roots of the faith he professed and preached daily. At the same time, he hosted a CBS TV series, called Look Up and Live. Finally, however, the doubts about everything he stood for became too great and he decided to leave the ministry. In his autobiography, Farewell to God, Charles Templeton lists his . Most of these relate to the origins issue and thus the accuracy of the book of beginnings. Every carnivorous creature must kill and devour another creature. Most of these supposed . This means there are many more . Answers are readily available. Templeton, like Charles Darwin,2. God of the Bible. Templeton states: Why does God? Nature is in Tennyson. Since the fossil record would therefore represent billions of years of earth history, he would have to believe that the same death, disease and suffering in the world around us has been going on for millions and millions of years, and cannot be the result of sin, the Fall and the Curse. One wonders whether Templeton would ever have written his Farewell to God, had the Church in his day rejected the billions of years, shown the fallible nature of the dating methods, and taught clearly that there could be no death, disease and bloodshed before sin. What a difference there might have been in his life if he had understood that the world he was observing was not the world as God originally made it, but one which was now suffering the effects of sin, the Curse and the Flood. Had the Church (and colleges like Princeton) not compromised the Word of God with man. If the earth is billions of years old! Templeton completed his slide to unbelief by stating that the . Since leaving the ministry in 1. Templeton has taken a prominent place in journalism. Among other things, he has been the executive managing editor of the Toronto Star, editor- in- chief of Maclean. He states: A major factor in the dramatic decrease in attendance at church services around the world is undoubtedly the irrelevance of contemporary preaching. Templeton is quite right. Genesis is by and large not taught as history. So when the Church tries to preach morality, the world (like Templeton) responds in a similar way to actor Bruce Willis from the Die Hard series. So organized religion has lost that voice to hold up their moral hand. Templeton (unlike many Christian leaders in the Church today) is consistent. He recognizes that if you can. As more and more people in the compromising churches become consistent in how they approach the Bible, having accepted man. Templeton also ignores the answers evangelicals have already provided to many of the other . One must wonder whether he truly wanted answers.? Have you not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not grow weak nor weary? There is no searching of His understanding. Warfield was by his own admission a pure Darwinist when he entered Princeton College at the age of 1. But his views were significantly modified over the years before his death in 1. Still, he was greatly influenced by evolutionary thinking throughout his life and therefore did not accept the plain literal truth of Genesis about the age of the earth or man and the literal six- day creation week. His views are not always clear in his writings and many who have read them have called Warfield a theistic evolutionist, including Mark Noll and David Livingstone who republished his writings on evolution in Evolution, Science and Scripture: Selected Writings of B. Warfield (Baker Books, 2.
