Christianity and evolution

We understand that you're seeking guidance on the topic of Christianity and evolution. Let's explore this subject together in light of the Scriptures.
Firstly, it's crucial to acknowledge that God is the creator of all things, as stated in Colossians 1:16 WEB: "For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him, and for him." This verse underscores the divine origin of the universe and all it contains.
The account of creation in Genesis chapters 1 and 2 presents God as the one who spoke the world into existence. However, the theory of evolution proposes a different narrative, suggesting that all life forms evolved from simpler organisms over billions of years.
As believers, our ultimate authority is the Word of God. We should approach the theory of evolution with a discerning spirit, evaluating it in light of the Scriptures. While the Bible does not specifically address evolution, it does provide a clear account of creation that contradicts the evolutionary theory.
It's essential to remember that scientific theories come and go, but God's Word remains forever, as stated in Isaiah 40:8 WEB: "The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, seeking Your wisdom and guidance. We ask that You grant us a greater understanding of Your creation and the ability to discern the truth amidst conflicting theories. Help us to stand firm in our faith, rooted in Your Word. We pray that any deception or false teaching would be exposed, and that we would be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.
In addressing this topic, it's important to acknowledge that belief in evolution can sometimes undermine the authority of Scripture and the deity of Christ. We should be cautious of any teaching that compromises the clear message of the Bible.
We encourage you to study the Scriptures diligently and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit as you navigate this complex issue. Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus that we can be saved and we can pray to God. We must always strive to honor God and uphold the truth of His Word and avoid any teaching that contradicts it.
If you find that discussions or teaching on this subject is causing confusion or doubt then it may be best to avoid or minimize exposure to this teaching until you have a stronger foundation in your faith and understanding of scripture. Pray for God's wisdom, study this subject in scripture, and consider reading creationist materials such as those from Answers in Genesis.

I am leaving Christianity, ditch the Bible and not going to church. Like he will care like this so it is OK not to go to church.
I will be throwing my Bible in the trash today and I’m turning away from Christianity. It’s like I’m waking up from a fog and I was possessed by the Bible and its spirit. I feel bad for all the trust, love, time, and faith I poured into Christ. It just really messed me up and corrupted my soul...
Left Christianity because a lot of unanswered prayers and I don't need to be what equally yoked and my will will be done. I will continue to read ghost stories anyway I have donated the Bible away. Basically it is ineffective. Anyway he did not bother so why now bother when he is not required.
