$\"adama\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

\tThe third principle Scot mentions is sensitivity to students of science, and again, I totally agree. I do not know if Scot\u2019s claim on p. 104 that the number 1 reason kids leave the faith is because of questions about science, is true, but certainly some do. In light of the second half of this book, one should be equally concerned about students leaving the faith because someone told them that Adam and Eve did not exist as historical persons. The undercutting of the historical foundations of the Bible can be equally damaging to someone\u2019s faith. <\/p>\n

Scot\u2019s fourth principle is also a useful one\u2014 Scot says prima Scriptura is better than sola Scriptura, and I agree if we are talking about knowledge or truth in general. If we are talking salvation, sola Scriptura is closer to the truth. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
