Salvation And Evolution

Q. While attending a Christianity 101 course at my church I was told that one can be a Christian and believe in evolution? red flags go up on that for me, please give me your opinion on that?

A. Technically, all that’s required for salvation is to believe that we’re sinners and that Jesus died for all our sins.  If we believe that and ask Him to forgive us we’re saved.

But it has always puzzled me that Christians are willing to accept the Lord’s word for their salvation, but then reject His account of how He made us.  I think some people have a higher level of belief in the New Testament than they do in the Old, not understanding that the New Testament is simply the fulfillment of the Old.  But for most, their beliefs are only a reflection of what they’ve been told.  Very few Christians take the time to study and understand the Bible for themselves.
